Insanity Asylum V2, X Trainer - World Cup Inspired Workout

It's the World Cup! And so while the best of the best in FUTBOL are killing it on the field, I felt like it would be fitting to do some athletic training at home while watching them battle it out! I decided to do Insanity Asylum X-Trainer which is part of the Volume 2 Elite Athlete Training Series.

I'm going to be honest, after watching a little bit of the World Cup recently, I think I may have to incorporate a game of soccer into my weekly workout routine, those guys are some amazing athletes! So without further ado, let's dig into my WOD:

As always, Shaun T has to kill us with a warm up that seems like it's just as beastly as the actual workout!

Warm up included:
- Agility X-Trainer Part 1
- Hop Kicks (jump rope)
- U Agility Hops
- Hop Kick Swing Jumps (jump rope)
- Agility T-180
- Plank Heisman Agility
- Hop Heisman Agility

Insanity Asylum Volume 2

Time for a little stretch, this is where I finally catch my breath and I am able to say a few words to Shaun T for telling me that it was just a warm up! =)

Then the workout begins! I'm just glad that I took my E&E yo! =) The main workout consisted of 5 rounds. I'm like, "man this is going to be fun!"

Fourth Round:
- Agility X-Trainer Part 3
- Single Arm Assisted Push Up (left) "ok, these really suck!" =)

Finally, I'm in the last round, the crowd goes wild, and then I realize that I'm the only one in the room! Let me tell you something, it's all about doing your best "being your best", even when no one is watching you, remember that people!!

Fifth Round:
- Agility X-Trainer Part 4
- Agility Ladder Jumps

Oh, and for today's workout I did some mountain running. I ran up to Exploration Peak Park, which is my favorite place to train outdoors in Las Vegas! =) It was about 102 degrees out, and I about DIED! =) LOL, but I got it done, #SpartanUp right! =) Looking forward to my VIP Mecca Virtual Fit Club Challenge Group Workout tomorrow, going to kill with some P90X3 Incinerator!
