Another 40 minutes.  This time, roughly the same cardio circuits, but with pushups and other shoulder and leg exercises thrown in for good measure.  I’m thinking P90X may be easier.

If I send in before and after pictures, they say I can get a T-Shirt for completing INSANITY.  I’ma get my damn T-Shirt.  I’ll post them here…if I have the courage to do so.

It’s essentially cardio circuits over and over and over.  This stuff is HARD!

Should sleep well tonight.

I started a new workout today.  Another Beachbody workout called INSANITY. 

 

Based on the way I felt after the fit test, I think I know where the name came from.  It appears to be 60 days of INTENSE cardio exercise, which will (hopefully) help me lose the nearly 20 pounds I’ve added since the Chicago Marathon.

 

My intent is to write about this on a daily basis to let the internets know how it’s going and also as a sort of accountability to myself.  The Fit Test was difficult.  I was ready to puke on the spot.  Tomorrow’s workout is called Plyometric Cardio Circuit.  It looks really intense.

 

More tomorrow…if I’m able to move.
