Sooooo.... I joined an Insanity Challenge with some friends.
For those who don't know what Insanity is, here ya go. Obviously, I'm not expecting to EVER have a twenty four pack body. However, it seemed like a fun way to stay motivated, plus not spend another million hours on the elliptical at the gym. I went into it knowing FULL well I'd either have pause the tape a million times, or do it VERRRYYYY SLOWLY.
Today was the first day.
I allotted 2 hours to get through the 40 minute program.
Step One: Warm Up
I knew there was a reason i haven't done jumping jacks since about 8th grade. I think my boobs bounced over a foot (with a sports bra, mind you... but when you are a 40 DDD, sports bras are more of.... wishful thinking). I had to hold them after the first two. I could have put an eye out!
Step Two: Intervals
Hey.... this isn't so bad. Okay, I need do it at 1/3 the speed, and kinda... shuffle back and forth instead of hopping, but hey, I can do this. Oh, wow, my face is really red and I'm really tired, huh? But hey, the girls in the video look about as miserable as I am, so I must be doing it right, right?
Step Three: Level One Drills
Video here Do two girly push ups.
Sit back on ankles.
Stare at screen in disbelief.
Walk forward on hands.
Do 1 1/2 girly pushups.
Watch them throw their legs from side to side.
Sit back on ankles.
Shift weight from side to side.
ALMOST THE SAME THING.
