Her:Insanity Week 5 Core Cardio & Balance Recovery Week

Well I’ve successfully managed to get through the Insanity recovery week after injuring my right pectoral muscle in the last week of month 1, ‘Ouch‘. I know the smart person probably would’ve said ‘Are you mental, you should be resting’ but after having to redo the last week of Insanity month 1, due to illness, there […]

Him: Day 36 (Month 2, Day 1). Fit Test III – Die Even Harder

Thought I’d play it cautious today, as I had a Fit Test and the first day of Month 2. So I did the Fit Test first thing this morning, and saved Main Event for when I got back from work. Didn’t make any bloody difference. It was, to use a technical term, fucking horrible. First […]

Him: Day 34 – Recovery week over. Can I go home now?

The word of the day is definitely Schadenfreude. It means “to derive pleasure from someone else’s misery”. A great example of this would be me, today, watching Heather do her Plyo Cardio Circuits while completely hungover. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anyone go that shade of green before. Ahhh, you just can’t buy entertainment […]

Her: Insanity Month 1 Complete Whoop whoop

Today was my final workout for month 1 and what a workout it was. Jon and I’d been out at a party last night and I was feeling just a bit delicate this morning Jon, of course, was absolutely fine and thought it was extremely funny. Bastard!!! On the plus side I did get a […]

Her: Insanity week 4 Pure Cardio & Pure Cardio Abs

Today I was feeling a little like this :- I have to say my motivation is at an all time low. I’m not sleeping very well due to the high humidity , so every morning when I get up I still feel exhausted. I summoned up what little energy I had and managed to get […]

Her: Insanity Month 1 week 4 Cardio Recovery

Today was my final Cardio Recovery, in this round of Insanity and although I was able to hold the lunges and plies I’ve still not mastered the balance poses. In fact I can quite honestly say I completely suck. I have noticed my balance is definitely better on my right side, which makes it all […]

Her: Insanity Week 4…..once more with feeling

I’m ba-a-ack! I couldn’t believe it when I fell ill last Monday night. I was all ready to give it my all in the final week of the first month of Insanity. Fate, unfortunately, had other plans, and stepped in to prevent me from working out for the rest of the week. I realised by […]

Him: Day 27 – Month One Complete, Woo-Hoo!

It was Plyo Circuits today – but more importantly, it was the very last day of month one, so I’m high as a kite right now. Yeah, I know it’s only the preparation for month two. Yeah, I know month two is really much, much tougher, I’ll sweat more, die more, fail more, cry more et […]

Her: Insanity T-shirt has arrived

Well the t-shirt arrived and here it is in all its glory Not sure how long it’s going to last as I’m actually going to be wearing it 24/7 🙂 If anyone reading this is in Zurich, Switzerland look out for me and come say “hi“. I’ve unfortunately not been able to workout this week […]

Him: Day 23 – Cardio Power & Resistance all on me own

Hey readers, been a few days since my last blog because I’ve been just too damned exhausted to hit the keyboard after pressing Play at the end of a lo-o-o-o-ng day in the office. I haven’t missed a single workout though, so I’m happy with that. A mystery stomach bug has hit our happy home, […]
