INSANITY

Have you ever heard of Insanity?  Not just the general insanity of every day life or work in general (if you have a job like mine) but the workout kind of Insanity.  Mac and I saw an infomercial the other day for this workout by the makers of P90X.  The workouts looked super intense but the cool part is that you don't need all kinds of crazy equipment to be able to do the workouts--which equals a lot of $$ saved.  Anyway, after some deep contemplation we decided it would be worth our money to give these workouts a shot and man, were we right!!  We got the DVD's in the mail today and did the "warm up" and "fitness test" tonight for a grand total of like 25 minutes including resting time.  Oh. My. Gosh.  I've never been so completely and totally exhausted in so few minutes.  After just the warm up I was gasping for air.  Anyways, we know it is going to be A LOT of HARD WORK but it will definitely be worth it.  There is just something about being able to work out in my own home that makes me a slightly more motivated to work out and get into shape.  So, we will keep you posted on our progress....and maybe if we commit to report our "progress" to you all on here then we will be a little more motivated to stick with it even though it is going to kick our butts!  So.....after Day 1 of our workout here are the results of our fitness tests.  Keep in mind that these are the number of reps in 1 minute of sheer craziness.....

Our next fitness test will be on Day 15, so if I am still alive by then I'll give you another update.  Wish us luck!!  And if it looks like I'm in pain as I walk the next time you see me....it is probably because I am.

Much Love!!
