Here we are then, thanks very much to SHAUN T – without him I would be still fat and unfit – he is the maaannn…
I have found it hard on a couple of days though, maybe because it is so repetitive, but maybe its just doing it in the early mornings – but at times I have felt like I have no energy, but then after the warm up I am still going, and getting through it better than I thought I would. It is surprising the difference having ShaunT on the screen makes to continuing the sessions – without him I wouldn’t bother.
So after the first couple of weeks we relax into a regime of fitness. The Insanity workout gets a little repetitive through these weeks, as there are only 5 different sessions and we have been doing them for four weeks by the end of this section. I hate the warm up now, it hurts my feet and I have pretty much done it for 30 days – that’s too much, but I have to admit – it works.
I am only doing maybe 40 mins a day, some of that rushing around as you have the stretch and faffing about, but I have now lost 11 pounds in the first four weeks – which isn’t too bad. Although to be honest, given that I am hardly drinking, and not eating shite I would have maybe lost it with just a few runs a week – who knows.
What I do feel is a little more compact, and “tighter”. The exercises, if you actually do them really push your muscles, even though you will never bulk up, I can sense that under the layer of fat I really have a six pack and a little muscle definition. Just need to burn off that 2 inch layer of fat to see it..
Since last time I have had one session on the beer, which was out in the last of the sun and involved around 6 beers, and also as I type one quick pub visit of 4 beers which I just though would be nice. So in this 3 weeks only 10 beers and a can – not too shabby.
This week is the recovery week, so we do the same exercise every day – I got bored today (Weds) so went for a run instead, but you can easily tell that this session is slower and easier than the rest, once this week is over we are into the MAX sessions – so god knows what they will be like.. So just a couple more days of Cardio and Balance, long run on Sat, real honest day off on Sunday – then taking it up to the MAX – woohoo…
