The Insanity Workout is AWESOME
Mar 19, 2012
My husband and I started the insanity workout 2 weeks ago. People thought we were crazy for even trying to attempt it. Even my husband didn't want to do it because he's done this type of workout before for years for football and doesn't like it too much. However, he said he would do it with me to support me.
It's strenuous but it's only 30 to 45 minutes a day. We cleared it with our doctor.I had been working out with the free trainer at my job doing boxing, basketball drills, and other things. I was getting a little bored with it and wanted to challenge myself a lot. So I bought the Insanity DVDs from Beach Body and decided to do the 60 Day Challenge. This is the same company that puts out Power 90 and P90X.
We started with the fitness test. I could do a lot but not as much as the people on the DVD. I knew that these workouts were going to push me further.
It's not been easy. Even the people working out with you on the DVD get winded and have to take breaks. lol We go at our own pace, as it instructs you, and try to push harder and harder. This passed week was the first time that I could actually get through the entire warmup. (Yes, I said warmup lol)
It's been 2 weeks and my husband stomach has shrunk and he's lost around 10 pounds. Mine is getting flatter and flatter. I'm losing weight because of RNY as well but, I see where I'm getting toned up in the places where I didn't want hanging skin because of my WLS.
My husband is now really liking the results. He said he feels better in his body and more energetic. He said that he thought he was strong being able to lift 350lb weights but this workout has taught him that he really wasn't in the shape that he could be in.
I am more energetic as well. I feel great. I look greak in my clothes. My skin is tightening up. I'm seeing muscles forming. My butt is starting to get firm. (You do A LOT of squatting) I think I'm getting a beach body for real!
We did the fitness test today and I'm know I am stronger and was able to do almost twice that I did before on the first day.
This workout was a great investment. I know I'll use it for years to come to challenge myself and do something different every once in a while. I'm glad I'm taking the challenge! I'll let you all know how it goes after the 60 days but I already know it's gonna be great if I'm getting these results after only 2 weeks.
This might sound like a commercial but I've never really wanted to do this with my body before. I'm just glad my mindset is changing to compliment my WLS.
