Insane In the Membrane...

Hey there! It is now almost 4 AM in the morning. Yesterday was Day 2 of Insanity. For those of you who don't know, Insanity is a 60 day workout that involves a lot of cardio and core training. Like always, I do my intensive research before purchasing and committing to something so you know that it took a lot of soul searching to finally get this "insane" workout dvd program.

I ordered it online, despite having seen the infomercials on t.v. and I paid $136 ($119 without shipping) which includes a 5 - 7 day shipping. It arrived a day early of the estimated delivery date. You also have an option of doing a 3-month flex pay. If you want more info you can go to Teambeachbody.com or the Insanity workout site.

So far, my thighs are in pain which according to my sister, means it's working. I do sweat a lot and feel more energized after the workout. During the workout, however is a whole different ball game. It's really intense with very little time to rest, about 30 seconds to be exact. You pop in the DVD according to the handy-dandy calendar (maps out which workouts to do on which day of the week) and it starts you off with jogging as a warm up. As the workout progresses, the workout gets faster and faster...and faster! well at least you are encouraged to do it faster anyways. There are also important stretches that you must do. Doing the stretches are key to preventing muscle injury so they are a must!

Included in the package are a set of DVDs, plus one bonus 20 min DVD workout, a calendar to keep you on track, a nutrition booklet that contains information on caloric counts and which foods to eat (also how to prepare them), and a little insert with an encouraging message from Shaun T.

I've seen a lot of people drink Shakeology during Insanity but I'm going to try my best not to have to go that route. Although there a lot of fellow moms who say that their doctors approve of them taking Shakeology while breastfeeding, I'm not too sure about it. Oh and by the way, in case you are also wondering.."what in the world is Shakeology?" Well it is basically a nutritious shake packed with vitamins and natural ingredients that combine to give you a boost in energy, curb your appetite, and serve as an optional meal replacement. There are two flavors, Greenberry and Chocolate and you also have an option of ordering both or one flavor as well as in bulk or in packets. The 30 month supply is $119 (not including shipping).

I will update you guys on my progress and yes I have taken the before pics already so stay tune for that. Most likely, I will post my one week progress. Aside from that, school is right around the corner. It's going to be a crazy year but I am ready and pumped to do this! Are you???

By the way, for those of you who have joined my giveaway, I forgot to mention that it ends next weekend 31st of this month. Good luck!
