Back in the Saddle

Okay folks, I must now eat crow and send my most humble apologies. I know this is a new blog, and I can't be taking days off and stuff but sometimes life gets in the way.  I haven't quit working out; I've been been failing at my time managment.  Over the past two weeks I have worked out a total of five times... three times last week and two times this past week.  I have done three beachbody workouts and did one workout with my cousin in his garage with weights and one quickie exercise at home doing a combination of jumping jacks (in memory of the late Jack Lalanne), sit ups, and push ups.  I am totally committed to my body transformation but remember, I'm just like you.  I'm not a personal trainer or some retired athlete or an exercise freak, I'm just a guy living life that ended up gaining an extra 50 pounds that I want to give back to the food gods.  I have also been working some OT (I think I mentioned my 50 hour workweeks that have transitioned to 55-60 hour workweeks) which encrouches on my exercise schedule but I have made some rearrangements and will be back on track next week.  

I have made the decision to invest in INSANITY because after speaking to a couple of personal friends and hearing about the workout it may fit better with my situation.  My situation is that I'm really limited on time and these routines are about 10 minutes shorter than P90X (which average 55 minutes, INSANITY averages 45-per my contacts) and don't require any props such as weights, strength bands, pull-up bars, yoga mats, etc.  All of those things are not necessary for P90X but they are part of the routine and you feel lacking if you don't have proper equipment.  When I start back next week if I haven't gotten my hands on INSANITY, then I'll be doing one of my P90X workouts that don't use the equipment.
 
Thanks for hangin' in there with me on my journey and I hope that at least you've gotten something out of the interesting articles we've kept posting.  Ciao!
