Look Mom, I am really doing it!


My third day of Insanity and I legitimately fell out of bed this morning. Here is what happened:

Me: Oh, what a beautiful morning, let me jump up and get in the shower!
My Legs: F you.

So, I think it’s working. It is so intense, but I kinda love it. I think I am hooked. It is full of jumps, and kicks and punching imaginary attackers!! Which keeps it fun, yet gasping for mercy! I feel a little bit like a new little filly trying to walk, mixed with someone who got a terribly aggressive Thai massage. In the best way possible.

Here is what I read prior to my workout last night: http://blog.extremefitnessresults.com/product-reviews/insanity-workout-reviews/insanity-workout-reviews-2/insanity-review-plyometric-cardio-circuit/ As you can imagine, I was shakin’ in my wedges.

For some reason I tend to think that if I am not sore, and can easily walk to and fro without wincing in pain I didn’t workout hard enough. Welp, this is not the case, and therefore I am one happy camper!

Here are my three whole days of Insanity in a nut shell…

Day 1: Fitness test, 25 minutes. I almost died. Then I got really down on myself for almost passing away, read a bunch of reviews about other people that almost passed away, felt better about myself and got excited about day 2.

Day 2: Plyometric Cardio Circuit. Holy shit, I have never needed more water, or extra fans in my house more so than I did for these 42 minutes. I took a lot of breaks, at one point almost threw up, and at the end had a smile from ear to ear that I got through it.

Day 3: Cardio Power and Resistance. This one was FUN! I am either addicted to the endorphins or a glutton for punishment. I did this one at the gym on my lunch break, in front of the fan and the clock and loved it. Well, not at the time, but afterwards when I have a tiny sense of empowerment and pride, I love it. I’m sure I looked like a hot mess going back to work, but oh well totally worth it.

And that’s it. That is as far as I have gotten. I will keep you posted on progress. Pretty sure this bod will be bikini ready by Friday ;)
