So last week the Hunni, and I, began the Insanity program. The program truly does hold up to its name! It is a 60 day intense circuit training workout program. The best part of it is that you can do the 45 minute workouts, 6 days a week, at home, and there is no equipment required. It helps to burn fat, and build muscle. It does have a cardio recovery day once a week, where Mr. Shaun T, the fitness trainer in the videos “goes easier” on you. I will find out today what going “easier” means to Shaun. Last week I only lasted 3 out of 6 days of training, so I have no idea what the recovery day consists of. I had to take a few days off to recover, as the training was literally becoming a pain in my ass!! On the other hand my Hunni, Alan has been doing an amazing job at staying motivated, positive and has been doing a great job of completing his training each day, so far. He has already started to shed some pounds, is looking slimmer, has a lot more energy, and has been more alert at work and home. I started again this past Monday, and the truth is I am doing better each day. I am also feeling much better than I was last week during the training. Alan keeps telling me it will get easier, and I think I am starting to believe him. The truth is I began this program to support and motivate him. I know it is much easier to stick to something when your partner is also involved. And honestly after I got over hating Shaun T for the first few days, I realized he isn’t exactly hard to look at. I hope Alan, and I continue to do our best! I guess we will see what the results are after 60 days. I will post updates. After this I will find out if I should continue to trust my Hunni, as this was his bright idea! 🙂
I included the link below for anyone interested in the program. The program does come with PDF printouts of healthy meals. Alan, and I are not following that part of the program, but we ARE eating healthier, and watching our portion sizes. And to compliment the training we are drinking Syntha 6 protein shakes, cookies and cream flavor, I drink one a day. We also drink Modern BCAA recovery drink, in “white blue razz” flavor, during our workouts. You can find those drinks, at The Vitamin Shoppe.
