Why I Kissed The “Gym” Goodbye!

globo gym

I admit it, I used to be a “GYM” guy.  I used to love to go to the gym! There is just a smorgasbord of the latest and coolest equipment there, there’s a variety of nifty classes that you can take, the finest locker rooms with showers/hot tubs/saunas, there are multiple refrigerators with pre-workout drinks, [...]

It seems like everyone is starting to “pick up” on the benefits of adding Shakeology to one’s diet these days!  The U.S Olympic Men’s Water Polo Team is no exception. Growing up, I had such a fascination with the Summer Olympics.  I remember in school, actually counting and keeping track of all the medals that [...]

Insanity Asylum Day 30 – Fit Test And Final Review

20120619_223548

Day 30   Tonight was my final athletic performance assessment for the Asylum.  Although I am going to continue to do these workouts in a hybrid with P90X2 Strength, there was a sense of closure and finality to a program that I have grown to love so much.  This was the program that promised to take the participant to the [...]

Insanity Asylum Day 29 – Speed And Agility

Insanity_Asylum_onblack-lowres-300x233_0

Day 29 I am totally bummed because I think I am getting a cold!  I had a sore throat during tonight’s Speed And Agility Workout and was congested and let me just say…if this workout wasn’t already hard enough – try it when you are not feeling up to it. I probably should I have [...]

Insanity Asylum Day 28 – Back To Core

Insanity_Asylum_onblack-lowres-300x233_0

Day 28 Well, somehow I got my rest day and a scheduled workout day mixed up and my shcedule is a little off, but that’s okay.  Tonight was Back To Core night, and this is really a workout that I enjoy.  It changes the pace up on you and although difficult as well, it is [...]

Cha Cha Cha Chia Seeds

Chia-Seeds

Let’s get to know the Chia!  From Dr.Oz to Oprah, from Whole Foods to GNC, something that I have been seeing and hearing a lot about lately is a seed named Chia. Chia also happens to be just one of the 70 healthy ingredients found in Shakeology, which I drink every day…so maybe I should [...]

Insanity Asylum Day 27 – Vertical Plyo

Insanity_Asylum_onblack-lowres-300x233_0

Day 27 Before deciding to blog the entire 33 (including the fit tests) workouts of the Asylum, I would have never thought it would be so hard to come up with stuff to say each workout. You try to describe the workout and what you went through, but you just want to say, “I showed [...]

As summer approaches, so does the opportunity for my brother and I to get together and go on somewhat of a mini-adventure doing some backpacking. Last year we successfully made summit at Mt Whitney (14,505ft – tallest mountain in the contiguous United States) and this year, we have our sights set on Mt. Elbert (14, 440 [...]

Day 26 Insanity Asylum – Game Day Plus Overtime

Insanity Asylum Game Day

Day 26 I am always pumped up for the Insanity Asylum Game Day Workout and tonight was no different.  It is one of my favorites after all.  I felt really good tonight and did all the exercises for the full amount of time.  It feels REALLY good to be able to stick it out with [...]

Is The P90X Results And Recovery Formula Really Worth It?

P90x-Results-and-Recovery-Drink

Is P90X Results and Recovery Formula really worth it?  This blog post is really overdue, but I have been so busy with blogging my Insanity Asylum journey that I haven’t had time to officially write reviews on some of the products that I have been using for a while now, but I am catching up slowly [...]

Day 25 Insanity Asylum -Strength

Insanity Asylum

Day 25 Strength Day! Well, it’s almost over and I have absolutely LOVED this program.  Today’s workout was great.  I find myself pushing harder and even increasing my weight and band strength on several of the moves.  Despite being under the weather for a couple days (reason for the lack of workouts/bogging) I picked up [...]

Insanity Asylum Day 24 – Speed And Agility

Speed And Agility

Day 24 Speed and Agility tonight…What was once my most hated (just because of how HARD it is for me) workout in the Asylum rotation has now turned into probably my favorite.  I remember the first time that I did this workout and I literally thought that it was a joke or something because it [...]

Day 23 Insanity Asylum – Rest Day

Insanity_Asylum_onblack-lowres-300x233_0

Day 23 Today was a scheduled “Rest Day” in the Asylum and I decided to go for a run, but not just one of my normal runs…this time to enjoy some good company too!  It’s not often I run with someone, but my good buddy and one of the coaches on my team, Jason McGurk [...]
