Published on January 8, 2012 By Brent

Ok, realize these are not Beachbody’s official F.A.Q.’s on P90X2, nor are they meant to be.  And I could be 100% wrong on some of these, but based on what I’ve read, what I have heard from Tony Horton, Steve Edwards, etc, these are some high level questions and answers to P90X2 based on some [...]

Published on December 27, 2011 By Brent

Guess what:  It’s December 27th.  Christmas is over.  We’re all stuffed on all the holidays foods we can stand.  Personally, I’m about sugared out (yes, I’m the first to admit I’ve had WAY too much sugar over the last….month).  But in just 5 days, it is 2012, and everyone is doing the same thing: New [...]

Insanity – The Asylum Catch-up Post

Published on July 5, 2011 By Brent

Wow, last week got INCREDIBLY busy and I simply did not get a chance to post.  So here are my thoughts and highlights: First, Asylum Game Day…rough.  Very rough.  A very long 60 minutes. The rest of the routines went as planned.  This morning was rough coming off of a holiday weekend.  So my calorie [...]

Insanity Asylum Review – Day 4 Vertical Plyo

Published on June 24, 2011 By Brent

O.M.G.  Hardest 40 minutes ever.  In fact, hardest WARM-UP ever!  Shaun T says something early on about lactic acid build-up and he was not joking.  Within the first few minutes my legs were on fire.  I have so much room for improvement with these routines its unreal. That being said, this is my first time [...]

Insanity Asylum Review – Day 3 Back To Core

Published on June 23, 2011 By Brent

Today was a bit “easier” if there is such a thing with Shaun T.  It was Back To Core, and while I wasn’t doing crazy moves with a ladder, rope, or weights, I was moving in some (right now) uncomfortable positions.  Some of the moves I simply did wrong.  But, plenty of time to improve [...]

Insanity The Asylum Review – Fit Test Video And Day 1 Video

Published on June 21, 2011 By Brent

So, I’m not going to lie.  I suck at this so far. Asylum’s difficulty doesn’t lie in these crazy moves, it is within the precision it takes to do the moves.  Day 1 was rough just because I was spending so much extra energy trying to figure out how to do the moves.  This routine [...]

Planning For Your Fitness

Published on June 20, 2011 By Brent

If you have a goal, you have to know how to get there.  This goes for everything in life:  Career, financial, and fitness.  The problem is, too many people simply just “show up” to exercise but there is no clear plan on how to go from point A (where they are now) to point B [...]

Insanity Wrap-Up And Pre-Asylum Routines

Published on June 13, 2011 By Brent

It’s been a while since I’ve blog, so thought I’d give a quick catch-up to what all I’ve been doing over the last 7-8 days on exercise, my Insanity results, etc. First, my Insanity results: -  Lost almsot no weight (around 1 pound final weigh-in, but I’ll say more on this in a minute) -  [...]

Insanity Day 62 And 50/50/50/50

Published on June 3, 2011 By Brent

Wow, 62 days of Insanity down. And today was miserable. Late night last night, rough night with the kids, and a 5:30 alarm made this one difficult. I did manage to burn 850 calories between Max Cardio Conditioning and Insane Abs. Today is day 3 of the 50/50/50 challenge. I actually took it a bit [...]
