Week 2, DONE!!!!

I must say that I have yet to fix the issues I'm having with staying up late.  It is really hard.  What makes it worse is that it is a spiral.  Once you start there is no easy way to just wake up early without loosing sleep.  In case you haven't pick up on my delemma, I still stay up til 2 in the morning.  I just have so much energy now in the evening that I don't get tired til then.  Maybe I need to be more active than I am being.

Anyway, the second week went by so much faster than the first did.  My body is no longer sore all the time.  My back is still giving me issues, but there has been a developement.  The second saturday ( or the last day of your second week) you start doing cardio abs.  After doing these excersizes my back felt incredible.  And they felt great for the rest of the weekend.  I think the mix of stretching and ab work in that area great helps the lower back.  With this in mind I have decided that for my back health I am going to change the INSANITY program slightly in that I am going to start doing the Cardio Abs workout every day.  Yeah it will suck, but I have to do it for my back.

Being the first day of week three today I had a fit test.  I did so much better on this test.  It is amazing how much I have gotten better.  Even though you can't see it in the pics, apparently I am much stronger now.  I should have guessed this anyway because I didn't barf after the workout like I did on the first week.

Here are my numbers so you can see the improvement.

Switch Kicks: week 1: 61; week 2: 65.
Power Jacks: ---------37; -------- 47.
Power Knees: --------60; --------100.
Power Jumps: --------10; ---------24.
Globe Jumps: ----------1; ----------6.
Suicide Jumps: ---------4; ----------9.
Push-Up Jacks: -------10; ---------20.
Low Plank Oblique: ---10; --------22.

Most of the numbers I was able to double.  Most of this has to do with the fact that I wasn't trying to hold back the vomit this time, but still, thats definately an improvement.  I was starting to get a bit frustrated with this program as I haven't been seeing the results in my body yet, but after seeing this and noticing how much better my body feels compared to the first time, I'm so amped right now.

Anyway here is this last weeks pic.

The pics might look better if i take them after I work out, but I figure you are more yourself when you wake up than at any other time so I take it then, when my guard is down and I'm too tired to fake it.
