Up until now, I can honestly say I had fun during every workout of Insanity. Today changed that. By the end of today's workout, I realized that I didn't have fun the whole time. I will say, now that I am done with it all, that I enjoyed it. But, only because I knew it was doing great things for me. There were a few times, though, that I know I was not having fun at all! We started out with the Fit Test. Although I did improve on everything, the Fit Test was rough. By the time we were done with it, I felt sick and had a hard time recovering enough to move onto the 2nd part of today's workout.
As if the Fit Test wasn't enough, we also had to do Max Interval Circuit today. This was our first day of doing this particular workout and it was brutal! I think I will enjoy it when I don't have the Fit Test right before it, but I didn't love it today. It was just about 60 minutes and I had a hard time keeping good form and finishing any of the exercises. My body was spent. I feel like I just hit a wall and I was not able to push through it as well as I had hoped. I am anxious to do this workout again to see how I like it when I actually have the energy to make it through the circuits! I think I will be better prepared mentally as well as physically the next time I take on Max Interval Circuit.
After the Fit Test, I couldn't drink much water because my stomach felt so sick, so I had a freeze pop instead. During our water breaks of Max Interval Circuit, I would take a small bite of a freeze pop. That was the best idea I have had in a very long time! I still took little sips of water every once in awhile, but the freeze pop was cold and refreshing. Real mature to be enjoying a freeze pop during water breaks on Insanity, huh? :o)
Tomorrow will be a real test for me. We do Max Interval Plyo and I am ready. I am anxious to see how tough it is. I know that every day will be a tough (insane) day of working out, but I am ready to see what is in store for me!
Day 37....I will be ready for you!
Alright Heather,
ReplyDeleteAs I sit here eating McDonalds, berating myself for not spending my noon hour at the Y and once again creaping on your blog I have to, finally, let you know how much I admire what your doing. Ive tried starting this program 3 times and each each time, after pulling myself off floor, barely breathing...half way through the warm up...I decide i'm not crazy enough for Insanity....yet. So kudos to you! I hope to join you some day in the ranks of fitness and insanity!
Thanks Jessie! I didn't think anyone actually read my blog besides my parents. Haha. Insanity is tough, but I KNOW you could do it! I was so proud of myself when I could finally make it through a warmup without feeling like I was going to pass out. :o) Month 2 seems to bring things to a whole new level of Insanity though. I hope I can stick with the Insanity and finish out this month!
