About Me

My Name is Alex. This is my personal fitness blog. When I first started this blog I fist started this blog in the summer of 2008, I simply documented each and every workout.
This really helped me to stay on track. I figured since this blog was public and that if I managed to get 1 follower, I would have to commit myself to the Max.

*Disclaimer: I am NOT a professional nor do I claim to be. I like to think of myself as informed.

I got into fitness since high school. I was very passionate about how to become more athletic, and having played basketball for almost a decade,
but since I injuried myself through playing I hadn't really done much. My friends were into the beachbody workout, and I didn't have any
intention doing it, but I found myself addicted to it after 3 weeks. So I bought the DVD, and startd working out on myown, and I 've got
incredible results after 2 weeks. And I also adjust my diet to pure alkalinity diet, which cleanse all the toxin in my body and I felt
incredibly heathy and unstoppable after each workout. I was amazed by how much I could change the look and shape of my body by
exercing six times a week. I am now in the best shape of my life, and I am still working to make it better.

I was always sick at the age of 7 andd suffered many illness immensely, I was the person who is going in and out of the hospital all the timne.
I had been prescribed numerous medications over a few year, and I became allegic to many of them. From my experience, these meds were good for
only one thing: make me feel worse. Just my experience. I was not okay with taking a medication for the rest of my life just to get through the
day.I was determined to find a better way and I found it in exercise and eat alkalinity.

Living a healthy lifestyle has been the miracle and the best time of my life. I still go through tough periods from time to time but since
summer 2008 my outlook on life has improved dramatically. I know my reason for living( which I believe is to share my passion for fitness and healthy living with others)
and I no longer curl up in the dark and counting endless things I shoulda done. I was always should all over myself and found myself in a no men's land between
should I make the change because it's painful or should I don't make the change because it's also painful.That's was what I used to be.

Exercise is the time with myself - even if I am working out with my closest friends! I now have more peace, happiness and joy in my life than ever and
I want others to experience the same as often as possible. We only live once, let's live it to the fullest. Turn the frowns upside down, walk with passion
and confidence and just enjoy this life we've been give.
If YOU are in a rough spot or you just have questions about how you can get started living a more energizer, and healthier lifestyle don't hesitate to contact me.

I would love to hear from you!

All the best.

Insanity Workout Review

If you’re looking to lose weight, you’re looking for the best results in the least amount of time. Though you might have tried other programs in the past, knowing which one to choose can be challenging, if not seemingly impossible. Today, we’re going to talk about the Beachbody program Insanity and whether it’s the right weight loss program for your needs.

What Insanity Is

You might have heard of P90X and Chalene Extreme, but Insanity is designed to push you even harder.

Shaun T is the instructor for this program and he’s dedicated to not only motivating you to do more, but also to push yourself past any of the limits you might have thought you had in the past. With each workout, you’re going to take your fitness to a new level and you’re going to see nearly immediate results because of the way that he works out your body. He isn’t looking to make you fit, but he’s helping you become the fittest person you can be in 60 days.

The Insanity DVD program includes:

Month 1 Workouts

· Dig Deeper & Fit Test: Before you begin your weight loss or reshaping plan, you’re going to get tested to see just how powerful you are and find out where your starting point is. Over time, you’ll see results and you’ll see how your body and fitness level can change in as little as two months. (30 minutes)

· Plyometric Cardio Circuit: With intense cardio work that using plyometrics, you’ll begin to burn fat quickly and reshape your lower body in less than an hour. (40 minutes)

· Cardio Power & Resistance: By using powerful strength training movements, you’ll work on your upper body in this DVD and you’ll be able to change the way your body’s definition looks. (40 minutes)

· Cardio Recovery & Max Recovery: While this DVD certainly isn’t easy, it’s going to take things down a notch to help you recover and be ready for the next month’s workouts. (80 minutes)

· Pure Cardio & Abs: For the most fat burning, this DVD focuses on a hard cardio workout, as well as targeting the abdominal area to give you a flatter stomach. (40 minutes)

· Cardio Abs: And when you want to target your abs even more, this video is going to help you burn even more fat with extreme cardio. (20 minutes)

· Core Cardio & Balance: In this DVD, you’re going to work on your cardio levels, as well as your balance, helping you recover a bit before you move into the next month’s more challenging workouts. (40 minutes)

Month 2 Workouts

· Max Interval Circuit: Studies have shown that circuit training burns more fat and more calories in a shorter period of time, while increasing your overall fitness levels. (60 minutes)

· Max Interval Plyo: If you thought the first plyometrics DVD was hard, this DVD takes it to another level and pushes your body to the extreme. (55 minutes)

· Max Cardio Conditioning & Abs: Once you’re at a higher fitness level, you can burn more calories and rip your abs even more. (50 minutes)

You’ll work on building your fitness each DVD and you’ll begin to see results in the first month and even more definition in your body by the end of the second month.

The Insanity workout program also includes:

· Elite Nutrition Plan: To make sure you have the fuel you need for the Insanity workout programs, you’ll learn how to eat and when to eat for the most energy and weight loss.

· Fitness Guide: If you want to learn how to exercise, this quick fitness guide is going to show you exactly the steps you need to take.

· Insanity Calendar: You can keep track of your Insanity progress with this calendar, and you’ll know when you do certain workouts during the week.

· Fit Test Tracker: While you might not have the best fitness level in the beginning, you can test yourself again during your Insanity workout program and find out just how far you’ve come.

· Free Online Support Tools: With free online support tools, you’re going to get the support you need when you need it, especially when it’s hard.

Is Insanity the Right Weight Loss Program for Me?

But the truth is that you want to know whether the Insanity program is right for you. Here are the benefits of using Insanity over other weight loss programs today:

· Shorter workouts – While some workout programs might have you working out for hours at a time, Insanity offers you less than two hour workouts that can fit into your busy life.

· Intense DVD programs – If you’re tired of not being challenged by your workouts or seeing weight loss results immediately, Insanity is for you.

· Guaranteed results – Like all other Beachbody programs, if you don’t see results from Insanity, you can return the program for your money back.

· Diet and exercise tools – Instead of just following the workout program, you’ll learn how to eat right and how to exercise effectively to reshape your body’s trouble areas.

· Convenience of workout out at home – You don’t have to go to the gym or invest in thousands of dollars in exercise equipment to use the Insanity program.

And while the Insanity program is hard, all you need to do is your best. Each workout is going to get easier, well, not easy, but you will begin to see that your body can change when you workout hard. In as little as 60 days, you will begin to change the way that your body looks, and more importantly, you will change the way you feel.

"It's more than what you eat or how often you exercise. It's even more than just essential steps to wellness. It's energy to fully live the game of life." - Anthony Robbins.

Hi, My name is Alex. This is my workout blog. Over the past 60 days, I had been doing my interval cardio training and plyometric training mix with things like push up and yoga stretch, and I found myself on the edge of losing 15 pounds. It was the most incredible experience I had in my life. Now I weight only 159, and more than 2 months ago I weight 173. And I did not spend as much time as I use to on doing my new workout, so I was able to keep my schedule steady between work and school. I am 24 years old now, and I had never pictured I could lose 14 pounds. I look around at my friends and they were all working out, but they just couldn't get the result and I was one of them. So I was frustrated and confused.

I've try many protein product, and other forms of resistance training , but I wasn't getting the result. I started to ask myself one question. Why? Is there all there is or there is more to the picture?
