Insanity Max 30: Weeks 2 & 3 Review

Wow, the 2^nd and 3^rd weeks of January were very busy for me because in the 2^nd week of January, I was preparing to leave for vacation (no small task when you are from Florida, trying to pack a toddler for a ski vacation, PLUS make sure everything is set for the babysitter who is staying with your 1 year old twins for an entire week).  That being said, I did miss ONE workout on our first travel day.  I missed my 2^nd week of Friday Fight and considering that is the workout I hate the most, it is probably the workout I should NOT miss.  Oops.

And in the 3^rd week of January, I was actually on vacation, but managed to NOT miss a workout!  I must say, I had to pat myself on the back for that.  It was not motivating to go downstairs and do my workouts when everyone else was enjoying their coffee and breakfast.  And did I mention the fact that I was at least 7000 feet above sea level?!  Let me tell you, my below-sea level lungs took a HIT this past week.  Pretty much I wanted to max out everyday at 2 minutes, but managed to keep pushing past that.  Nevertheless, I did have some of my lowest max out times, this week. 

Week 3 also introduced a new workout, Tabata Strength, in place of Tabata Power.  In Tabata Strength, you will do more push-ups than you ever thought possible, and don’t’ get your hopes up for a water break because that doesn’t happen.  Instead of water breaks, you get to do “cardio recovery”, like high-knees, etc.  It’s a real blast!

So my high of the week(s) is that I only gained two pounds after being gone for 8 days!  I attribute that to my Insanity Max workouts AND I brought my  Shakeology packets and drank my shakes for breakfast every morning. 

My lows of the week were my decreased max out times, but luckily the month isn’t over, and I have one more week to improve on my times before we switch it up again in Month 2 of Insanity Max 30!
