Day 62 | Insanity Challenge | Max Cardio Conditioning with Cardio Abs

Day 62 and Max Cardio Conditioning with Cardio Abs is the last workout in the Insanity Challenge. Completing a program like this is probably the hardest thing I have ever done and I have to say I am damn proud of myself. Although the Insanity journey maybe over I can’t help but feel accomplished, relieved and PROUD at the same time. I have the Fit Test to complete tomorrow and that is the final day in the Challenge.

Day 62 Max Cardio Conditioning with Cardio Abs

I couldn’t help but use the workout timer as a count down timer today. I caught myself a few times thinking “only 13 minutes left”. It was an exciting experience and for the last workout to be Max Cardio Conditioning was a little bonus since it’s probably my favorite of the Max workouts. Day 62 was different from the last couple days. I actually was looking forward to this workout. I was more energized and excited to get it going this morning. It was the best workout for me this entire week. I pushed a little harder today and had a great workout and sweated my butt off. Knowing it was the last official workout was bitter-sweet. I’m glad it’s over but hate that it’s done,weird huh? Tomorrow I do the Final Fit Test exam to see how my numbers end up overall. That will probably be a killer workout on its own. It puts me “out for the count” every time I do that one. Trying to boost numbers will wear you out very quickly.

Day 62 Max Cardio Conditioning with Cardio Abs Nutrition

My day 62 nutrition was as it has been the prior 61 days. I began the day with the Insanity Egg sandwich from the Insanity Nutrition Guide. The first snack of the day was the healthiest meal of the day in the form of Shakeology. For lunch I had a deli sandwich, which I could eat everyday if it wasn’t full of processed meat. Dinner was simple and basic with some left over baked chicken I prepared the other day. I added a side of steamed peas and I was all set. Looking back on this challenge and I’m extremely proud of how I have done with me nutrition. Nutrition will be the key to any success with any program and I wanted to give this challenge my best. Tomorrow is the last day in the Insanity Challenge and I’m looking forward to moving on the next challenge…Focus T-25. I completed day 62 with 2014 calories and the macro’s at 44-38-18. Stay tuned!

Day 58 | Insanity Challenge | Max Cardio Conditioning with Cardio Abs

by Rob Humphrey

Day 58 was another hard workout for me. The Insanity Challenge is coming to a close in 5 days. I’m still very sore and tired and going on with pretty much all will power at this point. I have to continue to push myself harder each day just to get the workouts done.

Day 58 Max Cardio Conditioning with Cardio Abs

Overall I’d say I had a pretty good workout. But I have to be completely honest and say that this Insanity Challenge has me worn out. 58 days of Insanity is crazy and only having 4 workouts and the fit test left is looking good. My legs continue to be sore and they haven’t stopped being sore for almost the entire challenge. I try to push through and dig deep even when my legs start to give out. This is probably why my legs are still sore everyday. With all that said, this routine is still my favorite of the Max workouts. It’s the shortest and because of not having any real breaks it seems to pass by fairly quickly. I do like how Shaun T mixes some recovery moves in this routine instead of just going all out the entire workout. Even so Max Cardio Conditioning is a killer workout.

Day 58 Max Cardio Conditioning with Cardio Abs Nutrition

Day 58 and back to one of my favorite Insanity Nutrition guide breakfast meals called Proatmeal. The Proatmeal recipe is really only oatmeal with some whey protein added, but I really enjoy it and it’s quick and easy to prepare. For lunch I went back to the nutrition guide once again and made the Insanity egg sandwich. Another basic and good recipe. Just some egg whites on a whole grain english muffin with a slice of turkey bacon and a tomato. At dinner time I had chicken again, I know I have had a lot of chicken here lately so tomorrow I will definitely be switching that up. Anyways I baked the chicken today instead of grilling it. Added some steam peas and I was good to go. I continue to keep things simple and easy to prepare and my nutrition has been on point. I finished day 58 with 1933 calories and the macro’s at 43-38-19. Stay Tuned.

Day 52 | Insanity Challenge | Max Cardio Conditioning With Cardio Abs

by Rob Humphrey

Day 52 in the Insanity Challenge proved to be a butt kicker. Not only does it have you going back to back with Max Cardio Conditioning with Cardio Abs but it’s nearing the end of the challenge. Everyday I mark off another day on my Insanity Calendar and I can see the end getting closer and closer. Only 1 – 1/2 weeks remain.

Day 52 Max Cardio Conditioning with Cardio Abs

Day 52 felt like the worst day in the Insanity Challenge for me personally. As I mentioned yesterday was a little off for me. And then today was even worse. I feel like I am completely out of energy. Not to mention I didn’t get a very good night of sleep on top of that. And with not officially having an off day everything may have caught up to me. I wasn’t in to today’s workout at all, there were even times I contemplated just turning it off. I felt sluggish and just didn’t want to do it. I did however, complete the entire thing and I pushed myself on some of the moves but on others I didn’t work to awful hard. Let’s just say I’m happy I got it done and that tomorrow is a recovery day. I’m very hopeful tomorrow will get me out of this funk I have been in. I know it’s because my exhausted, tired, sore and didn’t get enough sleep, but I will push through this phase and get it done. I just need to get back my momentum so I can knock out this last week and a half.

Day 52 Max Cardio Conditioning with Cardio Abs Nutrition

Day 52 was a hard day in terms of the workout, but the nutrition is still on track. At breakfast I started the day with some egg whites with whole grain toast. My post workout and first snack were as usual in the way of the Results and Recovery drink and my daily Shakeology. Lunch I went with something quick and easy. I had about a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese served with a cup of diced strawberries and a side of almonds. Cottage cheese is starting to grow on me now, it was hard in the beginning to get use to the texture but I rather enjoy it now. For dinner I went with Shaun T’s Shakeology recipe again. I wasn’t in the mood to cook so this fit in nicely. I took away the banana and added whey protein to his recipe. I also added a cup of fresh baby spinach. Spinach is a very healthy green and it can even help with muscle soreness. I added it straight to my Shakeology and mixed it well. Believe it or not you don’t even taste it. I finished day 52 with 1936 calories and my macro’s at 45-35-20. Stay Tuned.

Day 47 | Insanity Challenge | Max Cardio Conditioning With Cardio Abs

by Rob Humphrey

Day 47 and still going strong here. In fact I’m going stronger everyday and I’m starting to crave these workouts. I can tell you the first week of the Max workouts was probably the hardest week in the Insanity Challenge but now getting into a grove. Today was the first combo workout of Max Cardio Conditioning with Cardio abs and it wasn’t as bad as it sounds. It was motivating to accomplish today and I’m ready to take on the rest of the week.

Day 47 Max Cardio Conditioning With Cardio Abs

Day 47 and I still seem to be getting better day after day. Every time I do another workout I do much better than the previous time. It feels great pushing harder and going further every day. Max Cardio Conditioning is one of those workouts that will seem to fly by as there are no scheduled breaks and trust me you’ll need to take breaks. My goal today was to do each move longer than the last time I did this workout on day 43. I am proud to say have done better again today and can’t wait to see the end results that the Insanity Challenge gives me. I feel really motivated today and don’t want this feeling to stop.

Looking at the Insanity Schedule I see I have another Fit Test coming on Monday. I will probably just do the Fit Test Sunday evening so I don’t have to double up the Fit Test with Max Interval Circuit. It worked well the last time I did it this way. And on another note tomorrow’s workout is the Recovery weeks workout Core Cardio & Balance. It’s going to be weird to do an easier and shorter workout after getting into these Max workouts. But hey, I’ll take it being it’s on the weekend.

Day 47 Max Cardio Conditioning With Cardio Abs Nutrition

I went back to the Proatmeal recipe for breakfast on day 47. I think when I have completed the Insanity Challenge I’ll continue to have this recipe, it’s that good. For lunch I dug another recipe out of the Insanity Nutrition guide. I went with the Chicken Meatballs recipe. It’s good enough to consider it a cheat meal. It’s a higher carb meal than I’d like so I have been adding more chicken than the recipe calls for. Dinner was a bit messed up. I originally scheduled out to reheat pork chops I had grilled the other day. The problem was when I did they were gross. I won’t be doing that again. So on the fly I had some cottage cheese to take the place of the chops. Another weird setting for dinner but it kept my nutrition goals for day 47 in order. I finished day 47 at 1983 calories and the macro-nutrients right at 44-37-19. Stay Tuned.

Day 26 | Insanity Challenge | Pure Cardio With Cardio Abs

by Rob Humphrey

After day 26 this is the last time I get to do Pure Cardio with Cardio Abs in the Insanity Challenge schedule. Of all the month one workouts I will probably rate Pure Cardio as my number one favorite. I have always liked it’s fast pace and of course the fact it doesn’t have any repeat moves. You become so busy with the workout that it’s over before you know it.

Day 26 Pure Cardio With Cardio Abs

Pure Cardio with Cardio Abs will be sorely missed as I continue on the Insanity Challenge. I know that month two has about 20 minutes added to each workout so I feel the pain coming very soon. Day 26 was no doubt my best bout with this routine. My breaks were minimal and I felt great through the whole workout. There are only two moves that really kick my butt. One of them that I mentioned before was the Frog Jumps. Frog Jumps get me pretty quickly and it’s hard for me to do more than 30 seconds of that move. Today I probably did just a shade over 45 seconds. The other move that kills me is called the Pedal. Not a hard move but what I think gets me here is where it is in the line up. I go pretty hard right before we go into the Pedal. All I know is that chick Alicia is a beast with this move. I’m grasping for air and a break and she is motoring through it hard. Day 26 Pure Cardio with Cardio Abs was a great workout and now I only have 1 workout left of month 1 before the recovery week begins.

Day 26 Pure Cardio With Cardio Abs Nutrition

Nutrition is always going to be the number 1 key to success with any program. As I progress through the Insanity Challenge I feel my nutrition has been pretty good. Well for me personally it’s been better than ever. I continue to track my nutrition everyday and meet my nutrition goals. Today I went back to my usual breakfast of egg whites and whole wheat bread. It’s probably the most common thing I eat for breakfast but it’s getting harder to eat it everyday. At lunch I prepared the Proatmeal recipe from the Insanity Nutrition Plan. Not a typical lunch item but I was a little lazy today and this is something that’s quick to make. My snacks for the day remain the same with Shakeology in one and a Pure Protein bar and Turkey Jerky in the other. Being today is Friday it’s our weekly trip to Chick-Fil-A. Not the best option I know, but this is something my kids look forward to, and we missed it last week. So there is no getting out of it today. I order the Grilled chicken sandwich plain and took away 1/2 of the bun with a small fruit cup and a cup of water. Making the best of the situation was my goal. I kept my calories close to my daily goal and finished at 1951 for the day. My macro’s were higher in the carbs than I like at 44-37-19. Stay Tuned for my last workout in Month 1.
