Only 61 days to go

Today was my first full INSANITY workout and one thing I can say about it is that it went by pretty quick. When the DVD started the timer was at 41 minutes from start to finish. The workout starts off with a 3:30 warm up that you do three times getting a little faster each time. The each exercise in the warm up is 30 seconds, and I don't have them all memorized yet but it starts with jogging in place, jumping jacks, heismans, 1-2-3s, butt kicks, and high knees. I think there is one more but I am not recalling at the moment. When it was done I was sweating pretty good and my heart rate was around 160 BPM or so. Once the warm up is done you get 30 seconds (feels like 2) to grab a little water then it is into stretching. Shawn T does a great job taking the time to stretch out correctly and that portion of the workout take about 7 minutes so by the time the warm up and the stretching is done you only have about 25 minutes left before the workout is over. Man I saw that and thought no problem this is nothing compared to what I have been doing in P90X I am going to crush this first workout! I ended up doing really well but I don't know if I would use the word crush to describe how it went. I got through the first circuit pretty well, I kept up with the people on the DVD and had pretty good form, there was one exercise that I need to focus on that a little more because I don't quite understand the form all that much yet but I will soon. Then the next 30 second water break came, again only felt like about 2. By this point I was rocking about a 170 BPM heart rate. Before I knew it is was on to the same exercises a second time but faster, I still did well and continued to do well on the third set. First set was done, by now I was pouring sweat and my heart was really racing so I know I got a great workout so far. As the last 30 seconds were flying by I totally had the "This isn't all that bad, I can totally do this" then the next circuit started, this one was quite a bit more difficult but I did well the first time through the second and third time through I was losing steam but pushed through it. By the end of the DVD I had only pulled up for a rep or two three times and was feeling great. There was one more 30 second rest then it was on to stretching and cool down. Again Shawn T spends a good amount of time with the cool down so I hope that it helps with the soreness I am sure I will be feeling in the morning. When the workout was done, I was totally covered in sweat and it was dripping off me pretty darn good. I continued to sweat for about 20 minutes after the workout before my body finally cooled down enough to get my temperature back to normal. If that does not boost the metabolism and burn the last bit of fat off I don't know what will. As I sit here now my legs and butt are barking pretty good but nothing that is going to slow me down. Tomorrow is cardio power and resistance so I can't wait to see what is in store for me there. I was able to watch today's workout before doing it so I had an idea what was coming I am going into tomorrow blind so it might be a bit different but I will power through it just like I did today. Come back tomorrow and see how it goes.
