INSANITY Workout

I've been working out since March 2009. I am currently doing INSANITY, a workout that puts your body thru all challenges that normally only a marathoner would hit. I'm talking about hitting walls again and again, being so out of breath - and that's only after the warm-up. During the workout itself, I'm still unable to make it all the way thru without taking quite a few breaks. Even the people on the DVD take breaks, so I know it's a challenging workout.

That said, it's a fantastic workout that truly keeps me going and keeps me pushing ahead. When I finish, I'm covered in so much sweat that it looks as though I've just climbed out of a swimming pool. During the workout, I'm so sweaty that the sweat is airborne. It's like in the movie 'Rocky,' when he gets punched and it's in slo-mo. His sweat flies a few feet off his face. That's the type of airborne sweat that I'm talking about. I've never had that happen to me before. It's great!

I certainly need to drink my P90X Recovery Formula afterwards. That helps repair the microscopic tears in my muscles and it helps ease muscle soreness. During the workout, I'll sometimes put half of that day's dose of Recovery Formula in my workout water. It helps prevent bonking and it keeps me going for a bit longer. Of course, at the end of the workout, I'm desperate to finish that last half. It tastes SO good!

I'm looking for people to be in my workout group to help hold me accountable and keep me going. I will certainly do the same for you as well.
