"This Shit Is Banana's, YO!" -Shaun T
5/3/2010
Dear Sanity,
OMG, I repeat O-M-G. Today was Pure Cardio day. Never in my life have I EVER done cardio like we did today. I knew it was going to be crazy when at the end of warm-up (which btw, is hard enough to be considered a workout all in it's own) Shaun T says, "I'm nervous for what's coming you guys..."
Each of us ladies turn to each other and mouth, WHAT!? why would he say that?
Today's intensity was ramped up several notches, and we went 20 full minutes at top intensity, with no stops, no breaks, no let up. 20 minutes can be a very long time, when doing high knees, suicide push-ups, power lunges, high jumps, and so on. Shaun T has a group of really super in shape people working out all around him, and THEY couldn't do it all without stopping. His response? if you need a break that's fine but "I'm not doing this to hurt you, I'm just trying to make you better."
Well, today was as tough as any workout I have ever attempted, and when I took a look at the other two ladies, I know it probably is the same for them. I did, however find some comfort, when the workout was complete Shaun T laid down on the ground sweating and panting just as hard as we were, and he says "why do I do this"..."this shit is banana's, yo!" talk about LMAO~ his thinking was straight in line with ours.
I loved that! It makes me feel so much better seeing that even oober in shape people find this to be hard, so hard in fact, the inventor and instructor is feeling the pain;) and we can be proud of our attempt, knowing we worked much harder than we ever thought we possibly could, survived it, and are on our way to the best shape we've been in ever in our lives!
okay, tomorrow is waiting for us, and we are ready to get insane:)
BTW, PullmanGirl PROMISES that tomorrow she'll be camera ready for a before and after photo;)

Dear Sanity
Our husbands are ganging up on us. Fable's husband posted an update on facebook saying "Day 2 of listening to my wife whine about insanity , only 58 days to go.... lol !!!!!" His comment is a joke, he is actually quite sympathetic, but its been a lot of fun seeing what the other husbands and our friends have had to say in response.

Fable:

So, through the long process of reading our comments (which i have modified to remove hubby names) can you see that our men think they will be able to handle this better than us? I have no doubt that they can DO IT, for the most part:) lol. Just kidding, I am quite sure they can handle this, but they will certainly know that with it comes insanely intense workout, like they either haven't seen before, or haven't since football drills in high school.
These workouts are drills, Insanity is advertised as Aerobics, but this workout is nothing like any other Aerobics workouts I have ever encountered. These are circuit sports drills, meant to be done at top intensity, for 3 minute intervals with 30 second brake before starting all over again. We have done intense football suicides, basketball squat jumps, track side hurdles, of course all in imaginary circumstances, but the form and methods are derived from these sports.
Today is Day 4. I will try to get some before and after workout pictures, Maybe even during, as none of us are yet ready to go nonstop.
well Sanity, Day 4 is surely going to be intense, especially because we made the comment that day 3 was enjoyable and doable. Wish us luck, we may be eating our words soon:).

Today is day 3 of Insanity. This means just 57 days left. Sounds like a long journey from this end.
The first day was all about the test, it left us scared sweaty messes on the floor, with serious aches and pains. Day two, I may have had a minor panic attach prior to starting the program. Day two was, intense, our 30 second brakes made me understand Einsteins Theory of Relativity on a whole new level. 30 seconds of the program feels like eternity, and the 30 second brake is over before i can pick my crippled body up off the floor.
Day 3 was surprisingly doable. Maybe Shaun is giving us a break intentionally, or maybe we're just more cut out to do this program than we give ourselves credit for.
Tomorrow is Day 4. We have no idea what to expect, other than knowing this Insane journey is showing us just what we're made of. I am so glad I have my friends here for the ride. I couldn't possibly do this without them.
Sanity, how I miss you.
