Hey everyone, I'm starting week 3 today, and again will be keeping things fresh and will do Chest/Back/Ab Ripper at home using the resistance bands and push up bars.
I've received a few questions I thought I'd take the time to answer for you all:
Was there a point when you were ready to quit? When specifically?
Yes. Everyday of Month 2 of my first round of Insanity. I kept thinking, "This is too hard. I can't do this." But I just made myself finish the workout, no matter what, even if i had to take breaks and press pause. The sense of accomplishment was overwhelming. It made me want to do better next time and get through without taking a break or by doing more reps of certain exercises. In my first 2 rounds of P90X, I didn't have that same feeling though, I enjoy lifting and resistance training much more, but that being said, Yoga X made me want to quit alot.
What kept you going?
Several things. First round of P90X, I was wanting to look good for my birthday and for Broadway Bares XX. Second round, I was wanting to improve on my first round results. First round of Insanity, I just wanted to finish the program-my wife Lindsie did it over the summer and really motivated me to do it. The second round, again, just wanted to improve on the previous round. This round of the hybrid, I have given myself very specific goals with weight and body fat, also to have my best physique ever for Broadway Bares XXI.
What was your mindset going in?
When I first did P90X, I was really wanting a workout to kick my butt. It was a very regimented workout that MADE me work out harder and more efficiently than I ever had before. I was tired of spending so much time at the gym and not seeing the results, so I felt I was taking a chance with P90X. Going into Insanity, I felt that it was workout that was so difficult that I wasn't sure if I was capable of completing it. It made me dig down and push myself harder than I ever worked out before. The results of these workouts are amazing and I am very excited about the progress I've made in the past year!
Keep the questions coming!
Dig Deep/Bring It!
