I MUST be Insane to do this...

So I realized that Insanity did not get it's name for how CRAZY and INTENSE the workout is, but how CRAZY and INSANE YOU  are for doing it!!

Day 1:

Ok, feeling pretty pumped up and excited.  Getting into a pretty tough warm up. I'm sweating and taking breaks like every couple seconds. About 10 minutes into the video (which feels more like 20), just when you are gasping for air and it feels like you are going to die, Shaun T says "Ok, now that our muscles are warm, we can begin"
WHAT? That whole thing was just the warm up? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUGHHHH
Finished most of the workout, with lots of breaks.

Day 2:
Woke up pleasantly comfortable, and only had soreness on the insides of my feet, of all places! You are constantly changing and moving and staying on your toes. Youch!

I decided that instead of going from 0-60 with the warm up, that maybe it would help if I pre-warmed up! lol So I strapped Preslee into my new double jogger while Daddy and Rylee napped.  I started off with a brisk walk and began to pick it up about a quarter of the way around my usual Sutter loop. When I turned the corner, the wind was so bad that Preslee lost her breath. So needless to say, I was more worried about keeping the wind out of her face than I was running. So I kept it at a speed walk, which is better than nothing, I guess.



I get home and put on the video. I think walking helped because I already felt a little more energetic.  Warm up again, no easier than the last time, but I hung in a little longer.  The workout kicked my butt. I finished again with LOTS of breaks.

Day 3: ( Skipped a d ay in there because Sunday was a really busy day)

This day is a recovery video. I decided to challenge myself so I put in the video from Day 2 and warmed up with it and then fast forwarded the video to the parts where I had to take so many breaks and tried again. Did much better. THEN went on to recovery video and did half of it as well.
