insanity

katie and i have been trying to get back in shape for a while now, and personally, while i have been hitting the gym fairly regularly and not eating a horrible diet, i have not seen the results that i want. i am stronger, and these gains are apparent when i can consistently add weight to a bar week by week and not feel like i'm going to die. but basically, i'm still fat and this upsets me. after doing some research and discovering this p90x thing katie stumbled across another packaged dvd workout program called insanity. unlike the p90x which incorporates free-weights, pull-up bars and other gym equipment into its program, insanity is all body weight cardio/plyo stuff. we started with the fit test-essentially a series of eight or so moves that you perform until failure within one minute. you do this fit test every two weeks and record the number of reps you can do each time to track your progress. during the fit test alone i sweat like a bastard. i found myself having to stop at times and join back in a few moments later. during the first actual session i barfed. you're supposed to do these videos 6 days a week for 60 days. i don't foresee that happening, but i'm okay with at least three of these intense interval sessions per week. i will post some before pics soon...
