BlueRose Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Have you started insanity yet? I am waiting for mine. I have heard it is a lot harder than the P90X plyo. Not yet, still getting into shape for it. Looking to start around Aug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueRose Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hey! Just wanted to say hi! I've been away from the forum a lot lately...just been using FB and Twitter mostly on my 8-week tour so far, but got back in the community this past week and wanted to give a shout out. Great to have you here!!! Hey there! Great to be here as well. Yeah, I've been following you over at FB/Twitter as Blue Rose/TeaAddictedGeek. Blue Rose is more my personal account where I tend to talk more about veganism, Doctor Who, and various other fandoms. It's also uncensored. I'm more apt to discuss fitness on the TeaAddicted accts, and I get a lot of questions there. You know, the usual: "What do you do for protein?" I can't tell you how many times I run into people who ask me or others about being vegan and bodybuilding. I've been emailed under my coach account, seen postings up at Muscle and Fitness Hers, you name it. I typically refer them to your book and if possible, this site and veganfitness.net. I also luuuurve showing your picture to people who insist vegans are all dying, "transparent", and anorexic. Call it a guilty pleasure. Good luck on your tour!! It sounds like a lot of fun. I personally love and adore traveling and wish I had more time and money to do both--especially time. Take care,Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueRose Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 Sat:20 min of resistance band work, dumbbell deadlifts, tricep workLast Core Cardio and Balance exercise, and thus ended recovery week! I went to my sports massage therapist...VERY happy I had made that appointment and it was perfectly timed. I definitely needed some adjustments. Today's my rest day, going to spend it doing some stretching and light yoga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueRose Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Fri: Morning: Weightlifting, did some reps with the 20 lb dumbbellsEve: Max Interval Cardio Today: Max Interval Plyo The exercises are still challenging but nowhere near as hateful as when I first did them. Awesome. Had something of a mini-workout while my friend took some "post one month of Insanity" pics of me. I'll be posting them once I get them from her. Chiro appt today, continuing to amaze and fascinate this poor woman with tales of my Insanity workouts. I still am loving the question "What are you doing for core exercises?"

BlueRose Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 Thursday was Max Recovery, yesterday was Max Cardio Conditioning and Cardio Abs. Already autoscheduled a nice week of Core Cardio and Balance after my first round, rather like recovery week. Then once I have the funds, I'm getting P90X and will do the hybrid. Totally worth it!
