Subjected myself and Carissa to the Insanity Fit Test portion of their DVD series. She got all geared up in her workout stuff, was too cute. We started out working hard, then she left to get some shoes after exercise 3. Then she took her shoes off to get a rock out mid-way through exercise four. Then again in exercise five. All right, I bribed her with waffles for breakfast this weekend to get her to do participate. Either way we were off the couch and working together! Well sort of....
Pros: The instructor is ridiculously hot and very cheerful about his participants progress. He smiles so pretty the whole time you're dancing on his puppet string of exercises and tortures. I loved it, I really, really did. Staring at his biceps makes the pain a bit more tolerable
Cons: I was sweating and panting like I'd run 10 miles in 90 degree heat and this was just the "fit test"!!!!. While I like the intensity I was completely disappointed in myself at how many times I had to quit and two exercises I could hardly do. A jumping jack type move while in a push up position? REALLY?! Also, the vertical, used to be able to grab the rim, now I'd be lucky to jump and reach the top shelf at the grocery store. Which actually works out well since I don't have very tall ceilings.
Summary, my mental picture of what I am physically capable of still includes the haze of what was however, that which was, can be fought back.... Notice I don't say bought back.... Doesn't come in a pill and can't be found on the couch or at a desk.. Nope, the new and improved and much more determined version of that chick will only be found after miles run, sweat and a whole host of other tortures planned for this year. All in all day 4 a success.
