They say that the things that won’t kill you will make you stronger… so, judging by that, as I have survived my first plyometric cardio circuit with Shaun T, then today should be one of the greatest days of my life… wow. After 4 and a half months back in the gym, THINKING I was getting into shape… LOL! Insanity showed me, today, just how mistaken I was.

I would love to report to everyone that it went super smooth and I was able to do the whole thing like a champion, but the truth of the matter is that my Heisman looked more like a “Private Pile”, my stretches looked something like you buy from the pretzel stand at the mall and, by the time it was over, I was a heaving pile of a mess gasping for my existence as I crashed to the floor.

All of that being said, I finished, I’m still alive and, believe it or not, I’m looking forward to tomorrow!

The reality of this weight loss journey hit home today as I was doing the required jumps and feeling the excess fat on my back sliding up and down as I went. I don’t know what it is about the human mind that takes you to a place that you just don’t care about that as you shove another chocolate chip cookie into your face, but when you are trying to get rid of it, you begin to care. I’ve said this so many times and I’ll say it again… if you are going to make a transformation with your life your mind has to be right. Get the mind right and your body will follow!

This is the first exercise program, I’ve ever used, where you really feel like the instructor is right there in the room with you. You get the push you need… it’s as if Shaun can see you through the dvd player.

If you are looking for a new fitness challenge then I highly recommend that you check out Shaun T’s Insanity! Once you start, just do it, even if you can’t do it as fast as the people on the DVD, just do it… keep moving, stay in form and… oh yeah, KEEP MOVING! Make sure to attach the garden hose to the kitchen faucet because your going to need water… you are going to sweat buckets of it.

If you have a minute, you can check out my latest video update featuring the Insanity Workout Day 1 Fitness Test.
