Do you ever have that thought, “Well, I’m tired and I have to ______________. \u00a0 Who hasn’t, right? \u00a0 I’ve had a busy week and busy weekend so far and I was tired from the first two Insanity<\/a> workouts. \u00a0 I also had to get the Team Howtobefit newsletter<\/a> done because it generally goes out Sunday mornings. \u00a0 Add to that the fact that I had a bad headache when I woke up from being dehydrated and today had all the necessary ingredients for an excuse day. \u00a0 But with some water, some coffee, some Performance Formula<\/a> and some will, come 6:00 am, I was ready for Insanity Cardio Recovery. \u00a0 Honestly, I didn’t think that Shaun T had going easy on us in his workout repertoire, but that is exactly what he did and what an awesome workout just at the right time.<\/p>\n

It is never too late to join me on my insane journey – Insanity<\/a>!<\/p>\n
