Insanity Work out Video

My son, Jacob, who turned 16 years old in April requested the INSANITY: 60-Day Total Body Conditioning Workout DVD Program for his birthday.  He's been doing it for about 5 weeks now and I am really impressed.  The workout is HARD, 45 minutes long, 6 days a week and he's been doing it every night.  He's drenched in sweat when he finishes and isn't able to keep up completely but then again, neither can some of the people featured in the work out.  He does it every night at 9PM.  I don't know why but that's the time he picked and it seems to work well for him.  We did take before pictures and I will post those when I get them downloaded.  The workout truly is "insane" but Shaun T, the guy who leads it, is very inspirational and encouraging.  It's a little pricey which is why Jake got it for his birthday and not just any day but it's a great workout for anyone who wants a true challenge.  Will keep updated on his progress.

Jacob is at his dad's house for the month of June so I have only talked to him on the phone until today.  I know he's still doing his Insanity work out every evening and that about a week ago he entered into "phase 2" of the work out which means the workouts are longer and harder now.  Instead of 45 minutes average they are now about an hour long.  He looks really good though.  His calf muscles are hard as rocks and he says he feels better too.  Now, I must say though that he does NOT look like the transformation promised with the video.  Of course he still has about 4 weeks to go so, we'll see!

Jacob is back from his dad's house and he looks really good but.......the last three weeks of his workout got sabotaged. They went to "the river cabin" for two weeks and he wasn't able to work out there so it came to a screeching halt.  He's back now and not really able to pick up where he left off because of the time lost but he plans to start the whole thing again from the beginning starting this Monday.  Felt bad for him as he had worked so hard.
