Insane for Insanity

23 Jan

Weekend recap below but first…

Okay i have a secret i’ve been keeping from you

The  reason i was a little mia end of last week?

I have a new lovah

FYI: I refuse to say or even type L-O-V-E-R, and people that put that word in their vows (you know.. you are my best friend AND my lover) should be SHOT, just sayin!

Anyway back to my new man

His name is Shaun T and he gets me hot and sweaty 6 days a week

Daves knows about this

He even joins us

I can only imagine the look on our family’s faces right now :)

Okay the gag is up….

We started the insane workout that is Insanity

Its a 9 week program of 10 DVDs designed to be the toughest workout challenge ever made

They aren’t kidding, its KILLER

Sweat drips everywhere (can’t be hygienic), legs do not work afterwards, and exhaustion is immediate

So what really is Insanity?

The INSANITY® workout might just be the hardest fitness program ever put on DVD. Your personal trainer Shaun T will push you past your limits with 10 INSANITY workout discs packed with plyometric drills on top of nonstop intervals of strength, power, resistance, and ab and core training moves. No equipment or weights needed. Just the will to get the hardest body you’ve ever had.

INSANITY® -The method behind the madness.

The secret to these mind-blowing INSANITY workout results: MAX Interval Training.

Shaun T took traditional interval training and flipped it on its head—you perform long bursts of maximum-intensity exercises with short periods of rest. Each INSANITY workout keeps you constantly challenged as you alternate between aerobic and anaerobic intervals performed at your MAX. The result: burn up to 1,000 calories in an hour and get the most insane body in 60 days.

So why are we doing this? An extra umph for our workouts, we were getting a little bored with or current routines

How are we liking it?
We are loving it, obviously its only been 1 week out of 9 but the feeling you have after you finish is amazing

How hard are the DVDs
Really hard, there are parts i find easyish (a total word i just made up now) but by the time we get to the end of the dvd there is sweat pouring off of us – and this is really embarrassing  but i kind of puked after the fit test on the first day but that was a combination of my too much water and being a bit sick still – don’t let this put you off!!!

Where did we get the DVD’s?
At walmart for $139.99 (give or take $10 – sorry, my legs hurt too much to walk downstairs to find the receipt)

Any surprises?
We love doing the DVDs together, we are pretty competitive so we push each other
ex #1: he tells me i’m not dropping my ass enough in the squats
ex #2: i laugh at his attempts to do the heisman

So thats what we have been up to!!! And i really think you should do it Lynsey!!!!!!!! :D

I took a before photo so you better believe i will show you before and afters, just, not yet :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend, mine can be summarized like this

  • Gym
  • Cut off my baby finger *
  • Cooked meals for the week (before cutting off finger)
  • Lunch with the parents where i demanded cheese 185 times before they finally gave in and gave me 4 kinds to shut me up (score!)
  • Doodle snow angels
  • Bubble bath fails (EPIC FAIL, spilled my spinach smoothie in freshly drawn bath, 2nd attempt produced 2 inches of hot water)

This was my weekend friends, be jealous!

Here are the pictures in case you wanted more excitement :)

My new flash lulu tank glows in the dark at Zumba, i am both ecstatic and mortified!

Random early morning musings, my hair streaks itself and therefore i save SO much money on hair appts i can buy more lulu - ahaaaaaaaa :)

Awesome snackage - spinach smoothie and sour key!

Doodle snow beards make me happy!

I doubt spinach has the same benefits as seaweed, did i mention i was in the bath when it happened??? :P

*Maybe cutting off was an exaggeration, more like slicing off a chunk, still hurt like a mother effer though :)

How was your weekend???

Have you tried insanity, any tips or tactics for me?????????????

Good Monday to you xoxooxox

    Insanity spins really good… I want to try it, but I just don’t know about coughing up that much $ when I’m paying for gym already… Ok, that smoothie in the tub is priceless! Other than being sick, my weekend was great, well except for how cold I got at the hockey game Saturday.

    I agree with you, that finger looks totally cut off!! I am intimidated by the insanity workouts. I have heard so many great things about them, but also how they kick your butt. Oh and by the way you can send a man my way to get me hot and shweaty!!!!

    My boss does insanity and swears by it…I don’t think I’m cut out for that! Zumba, Leslie Sansone and yoga is more my gig…

    Also, regarding L-O-V-ER…It’s so much more fun to wistfully say “Lovah”…Maybe throw in a hear flip here or there….;)

    I’ve thought about doing this before. And then I remember that I’m lazy. And I quit most things that I start. So really…it’s not worth the expense for me. Ha! Good luck! You’re going to be in such great shape!

    I have heard about this workout. And it terrifies me.

    I feel like I will lose weight by just looking at the dvd cover…. :)
