Today started a little like yesterday. I got home from my
Audit Shift, ate something, then took a nap. Well, nap is a not quite what I
did. But, let’s just go with it. I woke up around 2pm (hey, don’t blame me. I
didn’t get much sleep prior to my Audit Shift and was therefore EXHAUSTED!!)
Anyway, woke up around 2pm, got to spend a little time with my husband because
he was just getting home from his first work shift of the day, and then started
Day 3 of Insanity once he left for his second work shift.
You might be wondering what the title of this post could
possibly mean. Well, in the next set of sentences, you’ll have a better
understanding. Today was Cardio Power and Resistance. It was a 39 minute long
workout and I really enjoyed when it was over. Lol. We did about nine minutes
of intense warming up, then about six minutes of stretch and then everything
else except for the last three minute cool down was pure insanity! Lol. (The
warm up was actually kicking my butt!) Still, I pressed through.
The reason why today was so funny is because I was/am so
sore from the previous two days. My shoulders hurt like the dickens starting
Day 3 and now after finishing it, almost every muscle hurts. Shawn T (That’s
what he says his name is), the leader of Insanity, made us do V Push Ups today.
You put your hands and feet on the floor real close together and make yourself
into and upside down V. Then, you bring your head in between your shoulders and
arms using the same motion as you would while doing push ups. (Try it, I dare
you.) This was so painful I literally felt the tears welling up in my eyes.
(None of those wussy drops because visible because I talked myself into calming
down and just pushing through the horrendous pain.) I had to laugh at myself
though.
Speaking of something that made me laugh at myself, when
Shawn T was revving us up for one more set of what we just finished, I ended up
yelling at him. There he was, sweating like crazy, but smiling and trying to
get us all gung ho about more beatings. “Let’s do that again,” he said. Not
even thinking, I, with half lung capacity, (the other half had left me during
the first set), yelled “No! Not again!” while at the same time making a funny
face in his direction.
Another comedic portion of the workout involved V Push Ups,
yet again. (These things are horrible, I promise! Lol.) The first two sets of
the “actual” workout ended with V Push Ups. Well, after the second set, I
literally ran out into the living room, huffing and puffing, and woke up my
cousin (who is staying with us for the summer) up to tell him “He’s Killing Me!
He’s Killing Me!” I then went back into my room and resumed my beating. Lol.
Despite the fact that V Push Ups hurt, I actually enjoy
them. I know they are making my shoulders that much stronger and I know that
the hard work and the pain that I’ve gone through will show within time. Some
more moves throughout the video involved Globe Jumps (Jumping right, back,
left, then front with hands straight above your head when you jump and touching
the floor when you land), more Squat Jacks (described yesterday) and this
really cool move (I can’t remember the name at this moment but basically you
squat and when you come up you kick with your left leg, then squat and kick
with your right leg and repeat until its time to switch moves. This one hurt
too, but it was probably my favorite.)
In addition to all the sweat that was poured out during this session, I was able to take Before
Insanity pictures while my husband was home. I had to wince at the few showing
with my arms spread out like I was flying (wings and all!!). But, the whole reason
I “signed on” for insanity was to get rid of what I didn’t like and to become a
healthier me. I’m very excited for the day that I get to reveal them.
Day 4, here I come!!
Signing Out,
It’s Possible!!
