I just finished day 1. I am now in the realization that I am seriously out of shape!!!! I only tracked about 30min of the workout as I didn't do it all, I was checking the carpet for left over freshner with my face....I only did a couple of each workout, then spent the rest of the time praying for oxygen.
I did do 30 minutes on my elliptical before hand, I thought I might use that to help me warm up.....yea, I didn't need to. I did complete the warm up and I don't think I've ever sweated so much during a warm up....ever. I was very surprised when he said "ok you guys, are you readyyyyyy to goooooooo?" I was like....oh crap, go where? And then he took me to a place that I had never been before....INSANITY! How in the world did those people finish every single exercise is beyond me....but I do want to be like them when I grow up.
Oh and this may be a little TMI for some....but for some of you "older' women who've had children...you might want to put a pantyliner on....because jumping jacks and all the jumps tries those kegal exercises you're supposed to do......just a heads up.
Good luck you guys!! I'm here for ya!!

LOL you totally made me smile. I know the whole workout is insane probably why its called INSANITY. The first day I did the "warmups" I was like ok then he says ok here we go and I was like you. I laid on the floor for a good ten minutes after the workout about to cry. Thinking I was dying. And oh yea all the jumping coming from someone with three children totally not pretty!!!0

I was just trying to talk myself out of doing day 2 as it's 90 degrees outside at 9:27am. I don't want to overheat at work today, so I was going to go for a swim instead.
I can't listen to the voice in my head!!!! So, I will go do my day 2 of Insanity and then dive in the pool in my workout clothes!!!! That should cool me down!!!0 -
Today I do my day 1. I am excited and scared haha! Not sure what time of the day is the best for this. I was going to do it on my lunch break but after reading the above comments I suppose there is a chance I might not make it back for work lol!0
-
yea...don't do it if you have to go back to work...you will not look like you did when you left work as you will definitely need a shower!0

Luckily I work from home so nobody would see (smell) me hahaha! I want to do it before anybody gets home. I don't need witnesses to the cussing and flailing about in the living room

HAHAHAHA!!!! Amen to that!!!! Then I would do it during the lunch break as there will be a lot of "what the *^ck?? Are you *(cking kidding me" coming out of you.....0
-
Yes, I probably would have said a few things just like that had I been able to actually speak without barfing! There is a fine line between digger deeper and digging a grave for me..........0

The workouts are definately brutal. I started up again on Monday for the 4th time! I wonder when I will get through the warm up without stopping to catch my breath. I still forget to engage my core, not even sure I do that correctly...but I can say that when I started I couldn't do not one push up and now I can do 10
Everyday that voice in my head thinks up a million excuses to not work out, but I have to ignore it!!! lol0 -
just finished day 3! yay me...i so almost talked myself out of it because i literally had to stand and stretch a little before i could even walk when i got out of bed this morning. so looking forward to recovery tomorrow. good job guys...im so happy to have a support group 0

I did the fitness test tonight! YAY!!! . I really want to email Shaun T and suggest that he change the name from "Fitness Test" to "MORTALITY test" :grumble: And then I sat and looked at the entire Day 1 workout....errr....:noway:
I didnt' do fantastic on the test but here are my results
Switch kicks - 82 (don't get excited...it only goes downhill from here...:ohwell: )
Power jacks - 42
Power knees - 74
Power jumps - 20
Globe jumps (is this man serious?!?!?) - 5 :ohwell:
Suicide jumps - 7 (this should be seen in a good light...suicide is a BAD thing :indifferent: )
Push up jacks - :indifferent:

So...there they are...I really want to push through and do the Day 1 workout tomorrow morning...oh my!!! Just trying to remember that I jus need to pace myself and do what i can...and that it will get better...it will...wouldn't it? :frown:0 -

Thanks for the motivation...I really appreciate it...I WILL get through tomorrow's workout...and the next day's...and the next...one day at a time!0 -
Day 3 complete! I think Shawn T is playing mind games with us....he calls it Cardio Recovery and then proceeds to take us on a journey of a "different' kind of pain :noway: . The stretches are good though...i'm scared for tomorrow! But...just gotta do it!!!0
