Insanity-Day 1 and Day 2

who can't do 20ish minutes of hopping around like an 8 year old? i figured it would be a piece of cake (or NOT -- i don't think cake is allowed in Sean T's "insanity" program). day 1 was a fit test. alright -- i'm fit, sort of. i work out every day for 45 minutes to an hour. but despite this frequent aerobic activity, my ass is still beginning to look every bit of 50. thought i'd shake things up a bit with the "insanity" workout as recommended by my fabulously fit friend carolyn - she is a skinny b*tch who makes the rest of us look like water buffalo.

day 1 is actually a fit test. i started out strong with the switch kicks; a little slower with the power jacks and power knees. but when i arrived at power jumping, my old bones started to protest. the globe jumps frankly just p*ssed me off and i thought i was going to pass out when i arrived at the low plank obliques at the end. 

persistence is key though and i powered on to day 2 -- what is referred to as "plyometetric cardio circuit". this particular program of leaping about includes such fun things as power squats and jumping jack-type push ups from hell. 

again i powered through and am looking forward to tomorrow - if i am able to move. i think i've caused permanent damage to my right ass cheek.

this is obviously the most unflattering pic ever: pre-day-3-workout. i'm really putting "insanity" to the test because i ate (almost) an entire bag of ruffles for dinner last night. i'm not showing my abs cause its just a giant "1-pack" and i look like miss jet puff marshmallow.

 

more whining tomorrow.

27 days from a 6 pack.
