Day 8
I took a day off from the Insanity Program because of other commitments, but I still went to the gym. Â I am noticing that the IP is even helping with my meditation position–an overall strengthening through an invigorating/coordinating process.

Plyometrics in full force today. Â I am enjoying the structure and the consistency.

It is very diifferent…

It took a little focus to sort through the discs, information, and how to work with the format. Â When I went to play the discs, my system didn’t like some of the discs and kept wanting to skip over sections, but I have since found out that this isn’t uncommon for laptops (depending on their…

The Insanity Program came in the mail today. Â I decided that I want to work out twice a day, since I am so stationary with meditation and time on the laptop. Â I liked that practice in India, so I wanted to find something that I could do at home that didn’t require equipment. Â I get…
