My Insanity Journey Begins!

Hey all!

Well, I've been getting a TON of inquiries about this new fitness program I'm doing, so I thought I would explain it in a note. Three weeks ago I saw that my sister in law Kristine had started this new fitness program called INSANITY. I had absolutely no idea what it was, but I'm not gonna lie, the name had me interested! So I asked her what it was all about on her FB page, and both she and Beachbody Fitness Coach Darren Natoni filled me in. I was informed that it was made by Beachbody, the same company that makes P90X, only Insanity guarantees you will be in the greatest shape of your life in 60 days instead of 90 days due to its intense cardio nature.

I've always been a cardio freak. I've been running religiously for years, but my body reached a plateau and I stopped seeing results altogether. I quit my gym membership a while ago because I just couldn't justify the monthly cost. We were spending about $480 a year, and I wasn't getting the results I wanted. Plus I was just sick of constantly wondering if I was losing or gaining weight...I wanted to KNOW for sure that I was getting in better shape. So I figured that if Insanity can get me into the best shape of my life in 60 days for a one time cost of $119, I might as well give it a try. Another perk that convinced me to do it was the fact that you don't need anything but your own body. No dumbells, resistance bands, or pull-up bars. So I decided I was ready for a challenge and to kick my body into high gear, and get the results I've always wanted, but just never pushed myself hard enough to get. I ordered Insanity off of Darren's site that day. During the week or so that I was patiently waiting for it to arrive on my doorstep, I saw an infomercial for Insanity on TV, and became even more pumped to start. This was the video I saw, in case you're curious : ).

Insanity Success Story

After ripping open the package, this is what I found. 10 discs, a nutrition/meal plan guide, and an Insanity calendar to mark your progress (and let me tell you, you work HARD for those red 'X's!). Not to mention, you get a free fitness profile on Teambeachbody.com, an online community full of people doing the same program you are doing. The message boards have been a great motivator for me. It's great to talk to other people just like me working just as hard. There is also an entire forum dedicated to before/after pictures, which is quite honestly the single-most motivating factor ever!



So I laminated the calendar, stuck it on the wall, and got straight to the work out. The first day you perform your first 'fit test', which you will complete every two weeks to see your progress. I was kind of embarrassed, not gonna lie! But then I realized that it was the first day, and I had many hours and work outs ahead designed to get me to improve. The next week I discovered exactly why it's called "Insanity". It is HARD. But let me tell you, the results I have seen after just two weeks have been incredible! Every time I try on my jeans they feel looser, and my body just feels 'tighter' altogether. After 10 days!! I've realized that if the work out isn't extreme, the results won't be extreme. And I really, really want extreme results! This thought gets me through the work outs. The work outs are usually 40 minutes long. They are intense, but it's only 40 minutes out of my entire day to push myself to the max. The first week was probably the toughest. My muscles were confused, soar, and PISSED lol. If anyone is reading this and is in week one, my advice is to just PUSH THROUGH, because in about a week you're going to be amazed at how far you've come. So I pushed through it, and am now completely hooked. I often refer to it as both my favorite and least favorite part of the day! But I've become addicted to pushing and challenging myself, to keep on getting these amazing results. I absolutely cannot wait to see what I will look like on day 60.

Day 10 results



After the first week, and realizing that the program really does work, I started doing some research on becoming a Beachbody (makers of Insanity, P90X, etc) Coach. I figured that if this program works as well as it does, might as well tell other people how it has worked for me, and give them the opportunity to get the results they've always wanted as well. And the idea of having a job opportunity in fitness where I could work from home on my own time was quite appealing. So I emailed my coach, Darren, and asked him a few questions. I liked what I heard and signed up a few days later.

So, here I am, about to start my 3d week! If you have any more questions, just shoot me a message. If you're ready to join me and get into the best shape of your life right now, you can purchase Insanity off my Beachbody coach site.
