Insanity D32 +Gymnastic body

I feel the rest... it's quite nice but I'm starting to get bored, waiting for next week monday.
Wall Hs run + back lever +front lever yesterday. was nice I think I''m getting results can''t wait the end of the cycle to upgrade the move variation.
Also tried a few tuck planche using pushup bars, and it was a lot better than last time I tried, when I say a lot better I mean I was able to hold about 5 seconds mutliple times when I wasn't able to get it before.
I really love the synergy between moves... I guess next cycle I''ll be able to include the tuck planche (I almost abandonned the advanced frog because I don''t like it) and reduce the time of training by doing longer reps unless I''m able to get to the next level of the levers (I started by thinking I would need at least 2 cycle by level with short reps and long reps, but I may have underestimated the progression have to see that).
I also did what I would call the negative front lever abs. I'm starting to get excited because I feel the possibilities opening.
Oh yes I tried the tucked front lever pull up too, It's great to see all the possibilities!
When using a tuck position it's actually quite easy, I would put it at about the same level as L-chinups, it's' just that the move itself needs more control of the body position, but the pull itself require less strength because it''s approximativelly just a rotation and you don't actually lift all the body weight. I suspect the tucked front lever rows to be super hard in comparison, I may give it a try just out of curiosity. I just wouldn't want to burn any steps because I feel enthusiastic.
Tonight is quick training : L-chinups and HeS push ups I'll add the abs cause I just like the move.

Insanity D31 + gymnastic body

recovery... recovery. Going smoothly.
Did the bulgarian variation for ring push ups and rows. I think I have to be a little more focused on the core, I may not be in the right position. push ups(bulgarian)  are not that hard but the rows are quite hard as it is now.
I also tried a core exercise  I saw yesterday, it's quite hard. I don't really know how to describe it but it's a bit like doing a partial front lever without the strain on the shoulders and not horizontal. Let''s say it's sort of a negative front lever from pseudo hanging position to horizontal

Insanity D30, gymnastic body

Nothing special about D30 just trying not to over do it, maybe I should try to go completly through the shoulder series without a break... but I really want to rest, and doing the gymnastic training at the same time I just don't want to push too much for this core cardio & balance..
Yesterday I tried the wall hand stand run. Well It was as much as I could do it.
The thing is I didn't work for handstand in a loooong time, so it was maybe a little bit to much of an expectation.
Well about the move, it was more a straddle handstand and then I'm using the bars to help me stabilize (and actually not the wall at all)
Secondly it was suggested to do 10 minutes in total, but after 2 minutes it was already too much (I did it 4x 30 seconds) I suppose I will have to build up from that.
And now I have someone who occasioonally helps me spot my levers so that I work levelled. It's a lot harder like that for the front lever. (i mean tucked of course) It seems that it also force me to have a more flat back... maybe it will help me to get faster/ better results (but I keep in minde the hurry slowly advice).
Another thing, if I stop to long after doing the levers.. it's impossible for me to finish the training (my arms feel really tired after they cooled down a little). Yeah I suppose I shouldn't be surprised ....

Insanity D27 & D29

D27 was the last power & resistance. I did good. I was really tired afterwards so I consider it was good.

D29 Core cardio & Balance, something new at last! Well I don't really know, it's supposed to be a recovery week. So I started with recovery in mind. light exercises and everything. The truth is that this workout could be as hard as a pure cardio if pushing as much. I didn't push It's been two weeks I've been feeling smal strains on my anckles so I choose to do a real recvery week here. Not that I didn't sweat, I did. At the end of the workout I was sweating as much as for the others. It took just a little bit more time to get there. I will try to do more stretch this week.
After the first 4 weeks is there any visible result?
Yes and no... I'm not sure if it's entirelly due to Insanity. especially for the upper body gains. But one thing is sure, I'm a little bit leaner (the muscle lines are a little bit more visible). And I got bigger thighs. When I say bigger I really mean it : only my largest baggy jeans actually feels comfortable all the others are to small for my  legs. How can I be sure I didn't gain fat or something similar? I'm not 100% sure of course but still with the jeans test, my belt is at the smallest and the belt doesn't feel tight at all. For the upper body as I was saying I think it's more related to the gym training but I'm definitelly larger (t-shirt / shirts) same point here I only feel the tightness at the shoulder/chest/upper back section.

I've been looking at the second part of the Insanity program and I can tell this will be really hard. It'll be fun! Need to recover enough.  I may not update as much about Insanity this week as it is the same workout all week long. maybe just a few words.. I'll see.

Gymnastic body: basic strength training

A little update on the basic body strength.
Rows and Ring push ups are note THAT challenging (feet approximatively level with rings) 3sets of  5, usually the last few reps feel harder, I will stick with this once a week.
Headstand push ups are hard ( have to break up the last set to finish doing the 3 last reps) and the L-chinups are just "perfectly" challenging 3sets of 4 reps, I feel like I could eventually do a 5th rep but the form wouldn't be good.
Found out another exercise that seems really nice HandStand wall runs. Seems like it's a realy good exercise to do once a week to get strong shoulder. Have to see were I can put them in my training without overtraining and without lengthening the training too much. I may have to do that on saturday... (best day I think as Sunday is an exercise free day)

Insanity D26

Best Pure cardio so far.
Did way better on the frog jumps and suicide jumps (the ones I have to stop because it's just after arms)
Regarding arms exercises I didn't do exceptionally good but certainly better than I used to (still need to get a few breaks but get quite a few reps and those exercises are in the last part of training so I'm already quite tired when doing them).
The only thing I changed is when I wanted to stop for a break say to myself :"Are you sure you want to stop? You're not allowed to stop until you can't really go further! Are you sure you can't continue?" Odly enough it worked quite well...
Even more odly I pushed myself harder than usual but I didn't feel exhausted at the end, my muscles were and still are burned up but I asn't totally unable to move as I was at the beginning.
Only bad point this morning was the warm up, maybe it's because I train to much but I find it hard do get the engine starting, I let me get a little more time before starting the warm up with some light move and I start the warm up really lighly. I still finish at full speed like it's supposed to be though. I actually think it's not that bad, but maybe it doesn't burn as much as it would.

Insanity D25

I have to say it was a little bit of a freestyle training for the last cardio recovery.
I did the slow squat and static squat completely but I did quite a few variation on some exercises...
It was nice and my quads still burn. that's ok. All in all I did this training as it should be done pushwise speacking.
