Insanity: The Asylum – DAY 15 – “Speed & Agility”

Yesterday, Day 14, was “Relief”, so no post necessary, but today marks the halfway point of The Asylum and I’m stoked about that. I’m not gonna lie, it’s been tough going, and I know it won’t get any easier. Only 15 days to go!

This was my third time through “Speed & Agility”, but it was my first time through it while on a low-carb diet. Yes, I am testing out how effective low carbs can be on my gut fat, while I am going through a high-intensity fitness program. If not now, when?

For the record, this was just my second day on low carbs, but I have to say, I didn’t feel that I was hampered by the lack of carbs. My energy level was high, high enough to where I was able to really push it, although, yeah, I did need many breaks along the way, as usual with this routine. I wrote more about it on the first time through, if you want to check that out.

I will be interested to see how low carbs affect me over the next few days, as the glycogen leaves my body and I turn to burning fat for fuel. This transformation may take a few weeks, but I’ve got time.
