Day 1 of Insanity Max:30 Modified

WOW

Oh my goodness

That was an AMAZING workout

    

I may only be 25, but with my history of knee injuries in the past, and with listening to my body throughout 2014 and getting my best results yet, I'm not risking injury again. Insanity Max:30 is going to help me stay away from those injuries because, not only did they include a modifier, BUT they have a split screen option to where I can SEE the modifier the ENTIRE program! BRILLIANT!

So I haven't done a lot of cardio this year and was a little nervous going into day 1. But I want you to know I killed it! Even modified I still got my heart rate up AND maxed out! (what is maxing out? you go as hard as you can for as long as you can and when you need to take a break, that's your max out time) 

I wouldn't call this a beginning program, but if you're fairly active or recently started getting active, the modifier can be the perfect ease in option for you :) I took before pics and measurements so I'll be sharing those throughout too :) 

Any questions so far about the program, the meal plan, etc?

Just post a comment below and I'll answer them for you :)

How to visualize your life and achieve your dreams...

This is a super passionate topic for me because I've been able to LIVE my visualization this year and it's the first time I've gone all in (visualized, created a plan, sacrificed to achieve the plan, and am living my visualized life!) 

Will you take the time this week to sit down and visualize where you want to be in a year?

Will you think ahead about the sacrifices you and your family will need to make?

Will you create a plan of action steps that you need to take in order to make your vision your reality?

Will you envision how it FEELS to have achieved your goals?

Will you try it?

How to set monthly goals...

Things to have in your goal list:

* How many workouts/week you want to achieve?

*Which days will you make what meals?

*What groceries do you need for those meals?

* How many dates you and your significant other will have?
*How many hours per week will you spend with God?
*How much money will you spend and save each week?

What would you add to the list?

You can still reach your 2014 goals, here's how...

Just because it's September doesn't mean you have to wait until next year to reach those goals you set for yourself in January! NOW is the perfect time to sit down and write out exactly what you want to achieve in 2014 :) Here are a few tips to help you along the way....

1. Create a goal with a deadline That means put it in your phone, write it on the calendar, make it legit so that you've got some healthy pressure on yourself :) Make sure it's specific & measurable so you can easily know when you've reached it. 

2. Budget Yep, I put that in there. "Why?" You might ask? Because almost every aspect of your life has $$$ attached...believe it or not, you likely aren't going to reach your goal for free and money should NOT hold you back from reaching it, you just need to get creative and plan ahead. Whether it's eating healthier, keeping your house clean, going hiking daily, etc be sure to keep in mind what you'll be spending, you'll need proper groceries, cleaning supplies and hiking gear to get those things accomplished.  Dig deep into your goal, what's it WORTH to you to make sure you achieve it?

3. Accountability group/buddy The people who stick to this tip are more likely to reach their goal than the ones who don't. When other's know about your goal and can help push you towards it, you're more likely to achieve it! I see this time and again with my support groups, the ENGAGED supporters have AMAZING transformations and successes, while those who go at it alone are still afraid to let anyone else in to help. Be vulnerable, take this step and ask for some accountability. 

4. Sacrifice In order to reach your goal you're likely going to need to add something to your plate so that means taking something else OFF. You cannot do it all, it will make you crazy. Take the time to figure out what you are and are NOT willing to sacrifice to achieve this goal. 

5. Create your plan Your plan is your roadmap to success. Once you've figured out what you want, now you need to figure out how to get there. In order to achieve a goal you've never achieved you need to do things you've never done before. This plan will help you get there, but it may take some research and talking with people who have reached the goal you have. Take time with this part and then GO FOR IT!

***don't get stuck on this step! You've got to FAIL in order to succeed so go out there and give it your all!
