I've gone insane

It all started two and half years ago with Shaun T's Insanity.  Since completing that intense 60 day challenge, I've come to really like the home exercise programs. I know that in many of the nearly three hundred posts on this site I’ve raved about being outside and running.  I've been equally as clear that I don't care for chilly or rainy weather.  So these DVD workout programs are the perfect solution.  I own a treadmill, but like many other runners, I find it a bit monotonous.  Here’s the thing, if your follow the plan, these in home programs work. I admit I’ve never followed the meal plans (bad idea). Yet, I have reaped benefits in all areas- weight management, increased strength, improved balance and flexibility and development.

All that is to say, I purchased the brand new Les Mills Combat. Before I tried every workout in the program, I ordered the predecessor, a resistance program, Les Mills Pump. There are two reasons. One I really like the Combat program. It gets the job done.  The other part is I feel like between the two I can create the perfect cardio and strength combination to use as we enter the New Year, aka winter. 

I completed the first two workouts of Pump and I love the Rep Effect. It's a twist on Tony Horton's systems of sets, but still gets at muscle confusion and the use of multiple body parts per exercise. It's a winner. I'm going to create my hybrid schedule this week. I think this is going to be great.

Lift. Move. Sweat.
