I was up early yesterday morning with them and turned on the TV to see if any Peppa Pig was on. The Sky channel was still on the last one we watched last night and was showing one of those TV ads for a fitness programme. It wasn't your usual ab-buster, 5-minute-Abs or Davina based shit workout. This was for INSANITY by some guy called Shaun T.
I'm normally hesitant of listening to someone who doesn't use their full name, but he was doing a lot of jumping about and shouting and my 2 boys kind of found him funny at first. His fitness programme was 60 days of cardio workout concentrating on the core and a different slant on interval training. They had the usual array of people on the commercial showing their before and after pics and how it was the best fitness programme in the world ever.
I was hooked.
Later on that day I Googled "Insanity Review" to see what the experts thought. They liked it. One of the benefits is that you don't need any weights or equipment, you just use the weight of your own body and its about proper form of the exercises and speed. There were also lots of peoples personal reviews out there too. People who had done it and it had worked for them - they'd lost weight, gained strength, improved muscle definition and toned up.
So after a chat with the wife that night I decided to go for it and got the Insanity programme.
I'm hoping to keep a diary of it, mainly for myself so I can remember just how bad it was. If it acts as an example of it working for me then I will be more than happy.
DIG DEEPER !
