I get this a lot."Oh, work out at home... no I prefer the gym" and you get this look like you just asked them if they liked to dress in a leotard and tutu and dance around their house. I use to go to the gym, I use to go to the gym a lot. I would time it so I went when it was inconvenient for others so I could get on the hammer strength machines (if you don't know what those are, you haven't been around a college sports facility) I would claim a bench, and power through all 6 of my exercises that I might need a bench for (bench press, one armed rows, shoulder flys with a rotation, 6 inches ab routine....) I say, I use to, because I haven't worked out in a gym in almost 5 years. What has been my result, I have lost 0ver 50lbs, dropped my body fat 12-14% and increased my curls and tricep weight by 100% (I don't know what I bench or squat, because, frankly that isn't important to me, though I can tell you I have almost doubled the number of pushups I can do in a minute, and increased my vertical by 20% and my 60 yard dash by almost 10%)
Why do I tell you all this. Because home exercises work, and because Insanity: The Asylum is the toughest workout I have done. I know, because I need to push my body to exhaustion every single workout. This is the first physical task I have done, where it is designed to make you fail. And that is a beautiful thing, because you are always striving to improve, you are striving to do what Shaun T asks you. There is only one member of the cast that can even close to keep up with what he demands, it's not the military boys, it's not the 30yr old woman with 6 pack abs, it definitely isn't Martin (if you watch the video's you know what I mean). It is Alicia, 40 something mother. Everyone is in the same boat, everyone is gasping for that last bit of strength to get there. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I stumble.
I will also tell you this, I heard of people crying when they finished this workout. Mostly women. I chalked it down to more sensitive souls, but, after I finished the last Gameday of the routine, I was extatic. I could easily see how that can go towards tears of joy.
2 major tips
1. Drink your shakeology every single day. I can tell when I did and when I didn't and it meant about another 10 seconds of work per exercise.
2. Results and Recovery might as well be a drug, I need it that bad.
5 more days, let the fun begin :o)
