Have I mentioned that Insanity is killing me? Yeah, it is.
I told someone the other day that I was doing Insanity. She said, “Cool. Do you have more energy?” My answer: “NO!”
I mean, what do you think? This stuff is hard, harder than any workout I’ve ever done. How can I possibly have more energy? I am expending all my energy during the workouts.
Of course, I recognize the actual meaning of her question. I must have more energy, right, because I am able to do more and more of the workouts each time I do them. So I do have more energy. Just no excess energy.
Insanity is so intense, that here I am at the end of the fourth week, and I still cannot do any of the workouts all the way through. Almost, but not quite. So I am essentially depleting all my energy attempting to finish the workouts, and will do so until I am done with the program.
Am I building my body and fitness? You bet! Am I dogged out all the time? You bet! Will I keep going because I know this is all helping me get stronger and more able to face everyday life? You bet!
But don’t ask me to help you move until after I’m done with Insanity. In fact, bump that … I don’t really want to help you move ever ;=)
BTW, as I said, I am at the end of the fourth week. The fifth week is a recovery week. It could not have come at a better time.
