Insanity 3/60

Today was Cardio Power and resistance... I felt it a little more in my knee today than yesterday so I had to stop and put my knee brace on. Does anyone know some good knee strengthening exercises I can do????

I was BEAT when we got home tonight and didn't feel like working out. I just wanted to crawl in bed and go go sleep. I stuck to it though (who quits on day 3?!?) and am glad I did! When I started P90X last year, I could barely do 2 pushups. Today, I kept up with the group on Insanity when they did theirs! Woo-Hoo.

I did a little running today and it felt great - I was on the dreadmill though and wish I had been outside. I really need to invest in some warmer clothes so I can run outside!

Happy exercising!

Insanity 2/60

Okay WOW!!! Insanity is a great name for this and I'm only on day 2. My goal is to be able to keep up with them through an entire video by the end of the 60 days!

Today was Plyometric Cardio Circuit. I really like the ab in and outs. I haven't been able to do these since before I hurt my knee two years ago. I feel like since I can start at my own pace, it gives me the change to concentrate on my form and I was actually able to do a few. YAY me! There were a few yoga moves in todays video but I wonder if any of the other videos have more stretching/poses in them?!? Perhaps that's the recovery week in the middle "Core cardio and balance".

I'm looking forward to tomorrow - Cardio Power & Resistance.

Insanity 1/60

I started Insanity today with the fit test. I can tell it's going to be an intense 60 days!!! I was excited though because the people said how many reps they were able to do their first time, and on a few of them, I did more reps than they did on their first try =o) Staying in shape is a great thing!

On another note, I got out and ran 2 miles today... it's been almost a week since I logged some miles since my tailbone was hurting me. I'm so glad I was able to get out and run! When I got home, I was greeted with an early Christmas present. Unfortunately I couldn't use it today because it has to be charged for 3 hours. I'm SOOOOOOO excited!

Insanity

Today starts 60 days of Insanity. Before Chad and I were married, we did P90X and I really enjoyed it. Since then I’ve been debating which series I wanted to try. Insanity won. Today is just a fitness assessment video. I hope the assessment isn’t difficult; otherwise it’s going to be a LONG 60 days!

On another note, I may or may not be getting this pretty little puppy for Christmas. I'm really excited about it. :)

HELP!!!

I'm on the hunt for a new fitness watch. I want one that tracks my distance and time. It can have a HRM on it, but that's not required. What's your experience with watches? Can anyone give a good recommendation? Right now, I'm looking at these two...

Garmin Forerunner 110 

Suunto M5

Hoping someone can help before I invest!
