So yesterday I received my Insanity workout DVD's in the mail. I did the fit test yesterday and today was day 1 of the Insanity workouts. I knew it was going to be hard but it WILL be worth it :)
I'm also following the Insanity nutrition guide. 5 meals a day of about 300-400 calories each to equal around 1800 for the day. These were my meals today:
Breakfast: Whole Wheat English muffin with 2 tbs natural crunchy peanut butter, with 1 cup of a mix of blueberries and raspberries.
Lunch: Whole wheat tortilla with roast beef and 2 thin slices of avocado and a sliced cherry tomato. I also had a Kraft tomato and basil string cheese (wow this was really good)
Afternoon snack: Another whole wheat English muffin (we needed to go grocery shopping) with 2.5 tbs of natural crunchy peanut butter. I had this with another string cheese
Late snack: Cliff bar (crunchy peanut butter) and 1 cup of blueberries and raspberries
After Insanity refuel: 2 cups of almond milk mixed with whey protein powder (2 scoops) chocolate peanut butter flavored.
My insanity workout was difficult from the start. The first warm up set was allright then there was a 30 second water break then back to the warm up...but faster. Then another water break and back to the warm up, but even faster than before. After this followed another water break and then the stretching. The stretching was a nice break and got your heart rate down from the "warm up". Another water break and then the insanity begins.
A set of various workouts were done for a minute each, high intensity, definitely hard. I was sweating at the end of that round. Then another water break (all water breaks are 30 seconds). Then that same round is repeated....but faster. This is done a couple more times. I was so tired by the end of this. It involved a lot of jumping and I was trying so hard to make my feet leave the floor lol.
After doing these sets/water breaks a few times it moved on to new sets involving push ups, mountain climbers, and jumping from the "crouching to push up position". After round one I was on my knees (after doing push ups) and grabbed my water and my legs were shaking very hard. I was dripping with sweat. This was repeated a few more times. By the last round I was so tired I could barely support myself in the push up position to do the "crouch to push up position" exercise. It took all my energy to force myself to finish off "strong" (which was more like incredibly weak lol).
My arms and legs are shaking and weak. I know I will be ridiculously sore tomorrow. I almost wish I would have started this on a Friday, not Thursday, so I wouldn't have to try to lift heavy trays or whatnot at work. I'm excited for tomorrow!
Oh and we did go grocery shopping so I have more of a variety of foods to choose from :)
