Insanity Day 1...plus vid

First and foremost let me say that this workout program is named INSANITY for a reason....because the workouts are just that, INSANE! Right now as I type this my entire body is aching. *side eye* Now THATs serious! I'ma break this entry down by the good, bad and ugly

The Bad:

I went into Insanity with unrealistic expectations. I saw the preview and honestly thought that I would go through the entire workout and that would be it. WRONG! That's unrealistic. First off I cannot tell you when the last time I worked out was....its been a while. So to expect me to do 45 minutes of INTENSE cardio was not only a stretch...it was a dream! A minute into the program I could not breath. I was struggling to catch my breath and in typical KL fashion, I gave up. I laid my head in my aunt's lap and pouted just like a spoiled little girl would..."Man I cant do this" Those words alone knocked me back into reality..cant? Cant? Seriously...I battle with my students daily about what they believe they "cant" do and here I am giving the same excuse? Naw that's bs! This journey is not only about the physical...its about the mental! Changing my mentality and getting stronger mentally, spiritually and physically. It took me a minute. I paused for like 2 minutes just trying to catch my breath and then I got right back up and continued to work out. Now I'd love to be able to say that I worked out for 45 straight minutes but that would be a flat out lie. I did 2-4 minutes and rested 30 seconds. At first I felt really bad but I try in all aspects of life to be REALISTIC and realistically speaking I did the best that I could do. Doing that allowed me to set goals to be better, to do more the next time! In the end I did 30 minutes of an intense program.....bump what you say, that's a big WOOP WOOP for me :) I did not make it through the entire fit test but since you take it bi-weekly I added completing the entire thing to my "to-do" list. What I was able to do was:
52 kicks
20 Power jacks
30 Power Knees
12 Power jumps
2 Globe jumps

The Ugly:
The ugly is flat out I am more out of shape then I couldve ever realized lol Whoa! No matter how bad it was...and it was pretty bad....I'm looking forward to the next 59 days! Bring it on :)

The Good:
The good in my opinion is that I made it! My body, while aching, feels good!!!! I have a feeling I'm going to sleep very well tonight.

So one day on Insanity is done, 59 days left to go! Looking forward to beginning my 4-day anti-bloat diet tomorrow. This should be interesting....til tomorrow

1Love,
