Insanity Month One!

My family and I have been working out with the Insanity Dvd's and have finished the first month. When we started the program we huffed and puffed our way through the fit test and dutifully recorded our efforts. Then we did our first workout, we had trouble making it through the warm-up! This did not seem like a good start but we showed up every day, we kept pressing play, and kept giving our best.  After two weeks we re-did the fit test and what do you know our numbers had improved. Well we have finished our first month and are enjoying a "recovery week" also not easy I might add! At least now we can easily make it through the warm-up, and feel like we are doing reasonably well keeping up with the workout.  We have a few more days of recovery then we begin month two, so we thought it might be good to sit and watch the first workout for month two.  From what we saw today I suspect it will feel like the first day of month one!!!  Month two the workouts are more intense and LONGER!  Have to admit to being a little nervous but you know what?  I can see and feel the difference the workouts have made. I feel great!!  So bring it on, and I'll DIG DEEPER!! At the end of month two our health and fitness will have reached a whole new level!

  1. Good for you! I've let my exercise slide the last month or so with all the busyness of fall activities.

  2. Sounds like a great program. We try to walk 3-5 times a week a brisk walk for about an hour each.

  7. Wow good for you! I have been wanting to do p90x but can't seem to get a regular routine down so haven't made the investment. May be a good New Year's goal! You should give yourself your big pat on the back for sticking with one month!
