\"\"Never have I thought a video workout could be so aptly named but kudos to the marketing geniuses at Beach Body who so named their intense, nine week workout regimen, Insanity.\u00a0 Forget kudos to them \u2013 how about kudos to me who is beginning week six!\u00a0 Indeed, as someone who has never really been disciplined about personal fitness, I thought going with one of the more aggressive approaches would be a surefire way to will my body into exercising.\u00a0 Well sure enough, six weeks might just be the longest consecutive workout schedule I\u2019ve ever endured.That said, day one of Insanity was not my most accomplished day.\u00a0 What people might not realize about me by looking is that I\u2019m not fit at all.\u00a0 While it\u2019s true I may be slender and no doubt I am quite active, that is not the same at all as being in shape.\u00a0 And so this workout was by no means an effort for me to lose weight \u2013 on the contrary, I\u2019d be delighted if I gained.\u00a0 This workout was a way to get me into shape and perhaps even change my shape.<\/p>\n

Ah Day One.\u00a0 Day One is what they refer to as the \u201cFit Test\u201d, where you perform ten distinct exercises \u2013 as many reps as you can do \u2013 and then a thirty second break in between to regain your composure.\u00a0 Right around exercise number eight I started feeling a bit light headed and even nauseas.\u00a0 I was told this might happen.\u00a0 But not looking to be a fool, as a Type 1 Diabetic, I thought I\u2019d hate to mistake seriously low blood sugar for workout nausea.\u00a0 So I took a break and stumbled to the kitchen where I was planning on testing my blood sugar and more than likely treating it with something sugary.\u00a0 To my dismay, by the time I got into the kitchen I did not possess the ability to accomplish this task \u2013 the world was getting dimmer, and I was headed towards passing out.\u00a0 Since I\u2019d be home alone for hours, were my blood sugar dangerously low here, passing out would only be the beginning of something far more sinister.\u00a0 So I began stuffing my mouth full of chocolate and force swallowing it with water.\u00a0 I sat down and moments later felt better, only to test my blood sugar and find out that I was not experiencing a low.\u00a0 I was experiencing being ridiculously out of shape!<\/p>\n

I must boast that since Day One, and since I began doubling up my breakfast calories, I\u2019ve not experienced that sensation again.\u00a0 And I\u2019ve been very dedicated to the effort.\u00a0 I must even say that I have noticed a physical difference in my look and the way I feel.\u00a0 I won\u2019t go so far as to say it\u2019s been life changing, but the fact that I haven\u2019t quit in six weeks now and fully intend to see this through to the end, does mean something to me.\u00a0 Whether it means I\u2019m insane, or in slightly better health than I was six weeks ago remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
