Insanity Day 30 Progress

Ok, so yesterday was my day 30 mark of the Insanity program and I wanted to do a little mini review to let you know how I am feeling about the program so far.  I have tried many Beachbody programs from doing 90 days of P90X at home to trying several programs at Beachbody Fit Clubs.  I have enjoyed all of them in one way or another, but Insanity has been by far my favorite!  Shaun T is an incredible motivator and pushes me to my limits and beyond for every workout.  This is both a blessing and a curse because I have been right on the edge of injury throughout this entire program.  I get so into it that I push my body too hard sometimes.  This is definitely something I try to be aware of and I noticed it after finishing Fit Test 2 and my back pain kicked in.  This program requires you to do a few things that in other programs you might not take seriously.  First, STRETCH your body out!  Don't skip, ignore, or half ass the stretching routines when they come up.  This can lead to you getting injured!  Second, COOL DOWN your body at the end of the workout so you don't get cramped up and injured.  I know by the end of the workout you want to just turn it off and go lay down for awhile, but finishing up with the cool down is crucial to avoiding injury.  The last thing I will mention is to create a safe environment to do your workouts.  I had heard all the horror stories about people injuring their knees and ankles from all the high impact moves in this workout.  I prepped my workout area with some exercise mats that I purchased at Walmart for cheap.  I also wear proper shoes and I am conscious of my form when jumping and landing as to not bang my joints.

So my results have been really great so far!  I am not sure what I am weighing in at right now because I honestly haven't been as obsessed with the scale for this program like I was with the Ultimate Reset.  I realize that my weight will fluctuate and that I am adding muscle so I'm not going to stress about it.  I know that my clothes are fitting great and I am seeing some new definition in the mirror.  I am really excited to see what month two will bring in the results department!
