Today I did a little core work for my 43. I did a standing side bend right-left then a twist right-left.

On these, it didn’t really matter which side went first since they both got equal work during the moves, but I did switch at #22 and go left-right. This was a good 43 – lately I feel like my core needs extra work (maybe cause I’ve been wearing my bikini?!).
6 am Boot Camp was fun today!! And, because it was over 95 yesterday and stayed warm all night long, the grass wasn’t wet – bonus!!!!
Then, it was time for Insanity Asylum – Game Day. This is the one where you do moves/drills/craziness from every sport imaginable for 60 minutes!!! It is hard and during the last 15 minutes when it was time for Rock Climbing I truly thought I wasn’t going to make it – YIKES!!!
Rock Climbing Insanity style:
- 1 minute of forward moving plank jacks – feet jump in the agility ladder and then out while hands are jumping to (hard to explain in my current state!!! Just know that it is brutal!)
- 2 minutes of lateral push-ups – move right hand down close to your right side for a push-up then put it back in normal position and repeat on left side for 2 long minutes!!
- 1 minute of the plank jacks with the added fun of a triceps push-up
- 2 minutes of single leg lateral push-ups – similar to above but when your right hand is the hand that moves you lift your right leg, 2 on each side then switch – for 2 long minutes
After I finished the madness of Game Day, I still had a little more to do because today also had Overtime on the schedule (and you know I’m doing the whole insane program).
I knew this was going to be a brutal 15 minutes from the very beginning – it was just Shaun T and 2 guys (both military hard bodies) – none of the females from the other workouts did this – WITH GOOD REASON!!!!
There were moves that I’ve never seen before – and I’m happy that I didn’t kill myself trying them!!!
* Mountain Climber with a clap when you switch legs
* Full lunge with back knee down – spring up into the air
* Some crazy single leg push-up then you hop in (on the single leg) – hop back and move sideways for the next push-up
* and more “fun” but I can’t even remember them now!!!
All I can say is – I’m glad that I don’t have to do any thing else that requires a lot of strength or energy today (except run kids around, go to swim beach, make dinner, a load of laundry……).
Here is a brief glimpse into Insanity Asylum:

Now – I need to get going on a fun-filled summer day!!!
Happy Wednesday!!!
