Today was Day 1 of the Insanity workout program for me. Like P90X, I'm going to be doing the workouts before work by bringing my laptop to the gym in my office building and setting it up in the corner. I was pretty excited after doing those marathon P90X workouts (up to 90+ minutes each) that all the Insanity programs were just 30-40 minutes. I knew after taking 3-4 weeks off (not completely off, I was still working out most days - but I was eating like crap), I was ready to get "back on the horse". Also, the timing is good. I want to be RIPPED UP LIKE RAMBO by the time I start going to the beach in June/July.
Today was "Fit Test" day. It looks like I'll be doing this fit test 5 times throughout the 2 months. The test includes testing how many reps of a variety of exercises (switch kicks, power jacks, power knees, globe jumps, push-up jacks, etc) you can do in a minute. I like this idea so you can compare where you are when you start and finish, not just how much you weigh. I couldn't believe it, but I was sweating like crazy after this short, 31 minute workout. I think I could have even pushed harder, but I had a crappy sleep last night and didn't have the energy.
All-in-all, off to a good start. Excited to see where it takes me.
Post-script:
I think I'll try to include my diet for the day as well. For now I'll do it in a workout/eating schedule format.
