Insanity: The ASYLUM
Insanity: the Asylum is only available before April 18th thru Beachbody coaches. I got the product training guide about Insanity: The Asylum from Beachbody. I like that this is a sports-specific training program. He is using Three Cross-training cycles: core sports exercises, more complicated sports moves then progressively tougher drills. Sounds, tough! A great challenge for P90X and Insanity Grads! The Base Kit ($89.95) includes

- an agility ladder
- speed rope

How Often Do you Exercise?
I try to squeeze in 6 1/2 hour-45 minute morning workouts each week. I usually set out a couple DVD's for the next morning to choose from. I like to feel good when working out. I don't want to dread the workout. I like to include at least one day as yoga/stretch. I try to also fill one day with kettlebells. The other days, I usually rotate strength training and cardio. Strength training I love, cardio not so much. I try to fill my cardio days with Kenpo X, Turbo Fire, or Turbo Jam. I love the boxing/kicking type moves. They make my morning cardio enjoyable. Enjoying exercise for me in the key to continuing to do this every morning for my health.

What do you do when you are feeling under the weather?
Do you still exercise when you are not feeling your best? To me, it all depends on how less than a 100% I feel. If I have a fever or stomach issues, I first replace the day with my rest day. If I just feel like I won't be able to get thru the workout I've scheduled (dread putting in the dvd), I'll thrown in Hip Hop Abs, an easy yoga/stretch dvd, or a Tony Horton workout with just arms (work out with lighter weights). If I don't feel into it after 10 minutes, I usually just give up. There is always another day. I don't sweat it. Sometimes I do feel guilty like I should have done better, but I know in the grand scheme of things, it is better to listen to my body. The Beachbody DVD's I reach for when I want to do a lighter workout
- Tony Horton X Stretch
- Yoga Booty Ballet Hip Hop & Abs
- p90X One on One Volume 3 - Stretch and Recovery
- Hip Hop Abs - Hips, Buns, and Thighs

My Thoughts on Core synergistics MC2
This workout is part of the Tony Horton's One one One series. He's getting prepared for his MC2 series that will be coming out this year. Ok. to start out with let me say that I didn't like the first Core Synergistics. It's probably true, the things you need the most you don't like. So I tried part of this workout this morning. It clocks out at an hour and 7 minutes. Unfortunately, I only have 45 minutes each morning, so that's what I did. There is a warm-up, workout and a bonus round. I love the equipment that was used: stability ball, med ball, basketball (optional) and slides (Valslides or gliding disks only used in bonus round). The warm-up is fast and great. (he uses the stability ball). The workout is a good sweaty workout. I think I do like workout better than the first one. There is a quite a bit of stability work, so I really feel like I've worked my lower body, but also the core and yes my upper body. I think I'll throw this in between two cardio days, because it is such a well rounded workout that works your whole body. I'm always looking for another workout to use my medicine ball and my slides so I enjoy the fact that he added lots of equipment into this workout. BUT if you don't have something it is so easy to modify to not use the equipment he is using. I hope you'll try this workout out and let me know what you think. It's available from Beachbody and you can get from my website. http://beachbodycoach.com/lilshortstuff
