Insanity vs Dj Brik Mason

Due to a computer malfunction, i was not able to do Max Interval Circuit by the book.  From memory, i rocked it anyway. I dug deeper.  I remembered the majority of the workout with a few modifications. The sweat was still there. The desire was still there.  The feet hurt a little more.  The living stinks to high heaven but it was worth it.  I will try to do the circuit by the book tomorrow. I added a few sit-ups aka ab work and leg sqauts.  Shaun T, i am still in it. Less cursing today.  Plus i had a salad for dinner. A SALAD.  It was greek. It was delicious.  Thank you BZ Grill.

Insanity vs Dj Brik Mason

After my recovery from the max interval ploy(both muscles and pride), i gathered myself this morning and said DIG Deeper in my inner voice.  Today was Max Interval Conditioning.  I love this one.  Here is why.  The moves in the segment change every single time while still giving you a burn.  I still failed(both tired, sweaty and exhausted as usual) but i was happy about my failure.  Yes, there is some good to the program. I have definitely lost inches in the abdomen.  I think i need to do some weights to make my flab turn to lean muscule.  But Shaun T, i am still cursing at you.  But i am cursing with you.  This was the first video i have seen where Shaun T actually stopped and paused in the middle of an exercise and rested.  He actually RESTED.   Now as an instructor, he gets to run around the gym(please change locations) and yell at other people for not staying with it(they call it motivation, i call it PITA(pain in the ass)).  We can call it rest but not really.  Shaun T, thank you for showing me that human element.  Besides adding a few new faces, Shaun T made my day.  DIG DEEPER.

Insanity vs Dj Brik Mason

Sweating. Shirts drenched. Check my instagram.  Late for the train. Week 5. Lets get busy and dig deeper.  Legs tingled as i bleed my way through every new exercise.  Let me restate.  The exercises i learned the first four weeks are now combined with four other exercises.  Some new and some old. For instance, Ski abs to push up jacks to running abs to ski abs.  WTF, Shaun T.   I see i was not really ready for it.  By the way, my big toe hurts.  Solve it Shaun T.

Workouts are tough.  But this week is recovery week. Core Balance.  It is nice to have a rest.  But the next four weeks will be even tougher.   Insanity is calming at the moment.  YOLO.

Insanity vd DJ Brik Mason

Recovery Week.  The hardest part about core balance is that i have to do it everyday.  It works. My core is tight. Love it.  I miss my pure cardio.

Dj Rashad

I love the underground.  I love the left field with the right intentions.  I love this music.  Footwork has been spreading like wild fire over the past decade.  By Chi Town still has it on lock.  Check out the link below for my homie DJ Rashad.

Alexander Spit

Check out this video below.  This guy is a spitta. New on the scene.  Cali. and yes he is of a different hue and race.  This video below is mixture of Lana Del Rey meets Odd Future meets leaving las vegas.  But it feels refreshing.

There is no rest for the weary.  However, today is rest day on the Insanity Program.  I will probably perform some ab work to compensate for my day off.  In the meantime, be well.

Insanity Vs DJ Brik Mason(Iron Chef DJ)

Week 4. Insanity.  Getting better.  Plyometric this morning.  Whew.  The genius that goes into the last 4 exercises can be called incredible or insane. A bait and switch. oh you are doing so well and improving and then...the dreaded ski abs and in and out abs.  I mean what the f...I will get it one day.  But Shaun T, when i scream in the morning and stomp on the floor and sweat till it hurts, i need a little encouragement. My neighbors have to hate me now.  Grunting and pushing myself to the limit.   Still cursing at Shaun T.  But my heart is pumping and i feel good. One more exercise for week 4 and then recovery week.

INSANITY VS DJ BRIK MASON(IRON CHEF DJ)

Woke up this morning and Pure Cardio was on the membrane. Sure enough, the mind had lead me in the right direction.  I was prepared to sweat.  I was not nervous.  I was ready.  The warm up was fantastic. It made me ready for the work. Shaun T likes to say he is nervous.   But this time i was ready.  I knew everything Shaun T was going to do. I paced myself and switched when Shaun T switched.  I need more room in my living room but i made it work.  I flubbed once which was ok cause it was near the end and Shaun T said i could rest.  Once finished, i felt sweat dripping out of my pores.  Yes, the journey was done but it had only just begun.  Shaun T, i want my T-shirt.

Deap Valley

Please take a listen to Deap Valley.  Not to misspeak, but the do sound like the girl version of the black keys. Then i smack myself, and realize these women sound like Joan Jett meets Pat Benatar.  They have an LA hard rock indie fashion sense and a stone cold heart.   Check out the videos below:

Imagine that. 

Insanity vs Dj Brik Mason(iron chef dj)

Saw a friend of mine this morning.  KJ to be exact.  She asked me how the program was going?  I explained that it was good but Shaun T puts the toughest exercise at the last part of the workout. Which is true. Mentally it can be exhausting.  However, i forgot to add that after you are on the ground, crying and cursing at Shaun T, he becomes overwhelming simple.  He tells you to rest and then gives a simple exercise to finish the workout.  Still cursing at Shaun T.

Insanity vs DJ Brik Mason

Week 4.  I am doing my best rendition on John Travolta from Perfect.  I doing the warm ups, the football moves, the push ups.  But when he gets to those ski abs, my body just hurts.  IT HURTS MAN.   But in a good way.  Sore but loving it. Shaun T, i want my T-shirt when i am done the 60 days.

Insanity vs Dj Brik Mason(Iron Chef DJ)

Shaun T, my flab seems to be outweighing my muscle. I hope this changes.  This morning was tough. My energy was not there.  But i made it through. Dig Deeper.
