Now that I want to have more adventures with my sons, I know I need to get into shape.  Any kind of shape is better than the shape I am in at the moment.  I have been using the Gazelle pretty regularly, but I know I need to do multiple forms of exercise to really make a difference because I have a loooonnnnggggg way to go.  I borrowed a friend’s Insanity workout.  It simply proved that I am truly insane.

I started at the beginning, since that’s the best place to start.  As the guy is showing the four basic moves, I did them along with him.  I was sweating just by the end of that part.  Then we moved on to the warm up.  Good golly, how out of shape am I?  I could do just the warm up for the next month or two and still be winded by the end of it.

Then I started the fitness test.  You would have been on the floor laughing.  You would have gotten a work out just from laughing at how poorly I did on the fitness test.  No, not actually the fitness test-the first four moves of the fitness test.  I then remembered the warning…stop if you need to rest.  Yep.  I stopped.

But keeping my desire for adventure in mind, after stretching a bit and drinking some water, I went downstairs and did 15 minutes on the Gazelle as a cool down.  Yes.  I needed a cool down from the warm up.  But…

I did try.  And tomorrow it will be a wee bit easier.  I probably won’t notice that it’s easier, but in theory, it will be easier.

The Insanity workout is truly insanity.  And if my neighbors could see me, you’re welcome for the laughter.
