Okay, so I’ve started doing the Insanity Workout. It’s like
circuit training at home, doing a ridiculous amount of ridiculous exercises for
a ridiculously long time.
It comes highly recommended. Lots of my friends at school
are doing it. I can well imagine it does wonders, because if you do anything
that intense for that amount of time every day, you can’t help but looks super
fit.
Here’s the thing. I
exercise quite a bit anyway- I like to do it.
It feels healthy, it feels exhilarating, and I like to look fit as fuck
when I take my clothes off. So I’ve kept
a fairly keen health regimen for the last few years, and kicked it up a gear
this year. I do roughly 200 press-ups
and 200 sit-ups a day, most days. Then I sometimes do 8 minutes abs *after*
that. Sometimes I do it *twice*...
I’m pretty keen.
But this was something else.
It’s SO FUCKING HARD. And I’m someone who isn’t averse to or
unaccustomed to fairly thorough exercise routines.
45 minutes of non-stop, crazy, intense and unforgiving jumping
around and pulling bits that shouldn’t be pulled. It really is insane.
And this morning I got out of bed and couldn’t walk. It must
be doing me good.
Probably because, despite my good work in recent months, I
probably neglect my legs.
I’m doing the next bit now... Wish me luck.
