The Insanity Workout - Tips And Benefits From a Veteran

in Fitness And Sports / No Comments

The Insanity workout is a lifestyle changer. I’ve noticed that the first time I did it and I notice that now even more after I started again with the whole program. Doing the Insanity workout again, I started to pay more attention to all the benefits it brings other than the good looks, all the benefits I haven’t felt for a couple of months. That is, given the fact that I finished the Insanity workout four months earlier.

The interesting thing is that I knew even when I was done with it four months earlier, that I will be coming back. Finishing the sixty days once and assuming that I will just bury the program in my closet, or sell it on Amazon, it made me feel kinda uneasy.

Once the setting has been changed, and the thrill of everything that comes with cross terrain is apparent, the direction of movement becomes more straightforward for the average runner, mostly in the sense of trying to up the bar for the second time.

One of the choices is, ladies and gentlemen, runners and thrill seekers, running downhill.

Recreational Mountain Biking

Inexperienced riders, having only this in mind, needed time to completely adapt to the true nature of recreational mountain biking, thus savoring what they found later on. And that is that mountain biking is way more than just the need for adrenaline, or even the physical aspect of it.

It took me, albeit somewhat of a novice, very little time to see past the unilateral picture that was, and in some cases still is, presenting mountain biking.

Mountain biking has more going on than what adrenaline junkies commonly care about. It is an entirely different concept of leisure and enjoying spare hours. It’s about developing focus and certain set of skills which, when perfected, allow enjoyment like nothing of the like.

Achieve Personal Fitness Improvement Through Diversity

in Fitness And Sports / 4 Comments

Diversity is making a general rate of progress in many aspects of life. We have it in every individual behavior, nature, even embedded in our DNA where we can see that the differences between our parent’s genetic structure led towards eliminating individual faults.

Similar to that, we can witness diversity playing a vital role in many other aspects as well, ranging from physical to psychological occurrences, from broad spectrum of emotions, even broader one of social and society understandings and perceptions.

Today though, I want to stress the importance diversity plays in physical fitness, and what it means to apply it into your personal fitness routine.
