Insanity Indeed And so it begins, day one of the Insanity Challenge and boy the reviews weren't kidding. That being said however, I am very surprised at how well I managed to keep up. Day one consists of taking the 'Fit Test'. It's pretty much a work out in itself but you do a series of 8 moves and you track your progress over the 63 days by keeping count of how many you do for each one. Every two weeks you take the fit test again and see if there's any improvement.
I wouldn't consider myself majorly fit, considering I go to the gym and do martial arts, I find I do still struggle. However I managed to keep up or even surpass the scores of the two people on the DVD who were doing it for their fifth time! It was still very hard and halfway through my chest started burning and it hurt to breathe but I kept going. I'm sore and achey now though, but then I was before I started due to an intense training session at Kuk Sool last night. I also think I've really overworked my right knee, as when I walk up and down the stairs it really hurts. I'll have to see how it feels in the morning with my 6am start!.
Food for today was a bit of a failure. I started off well but then my mother intervened with a hot cross bun. Tomorrow will have to be better!
