Day 3: So I think I understand how this works...

Pretty much today was like the 2nd day and the 1st day. Muy muy exhausting. I find it kind of pointless to keep saying the same things like I pushed as far as I can, blah blah etc etc. I think you get the point by now. I was extremely sore all day today however. It hurt to sit, hurts to stand, pretty much every step I took hurt. The only thing I can say about that is I guess i'm doing something right or very very wrong. I think it's right because I'm not hurting per say, i'm just excessively sore. My body has never under gone such a stress test and it hasn't be able to adjust to it yet. So i'm hoping this soreness is a temporary thing until my body gets in that mode of repairing the muscles a lot quicker. One thing i've realized about how Insanity works. Yes it gives you specific workouts that will target core muscle groups just like any other workout program out there. There's just a different concept behind this, thats similar to whats in p90x, just not as prominent. The good thing is you can take this concept and make it work for other workout programs. The concept is very simple and it's just this... Push yourself harder every single time you workout. Most workout programs stay at a steady constant pace for the entire time. But the thing is, in Insanity, they are constantly reminding you to push harder every single time you do it. For example: for 1 minute you jog at a slow speed, the 2nd go around you jog even quicker for a minute, 3rd go around you sprint as fast as you possibly can. The idea is, everytime you do it, you will  get better and better and last longer and longer and go faster every single time. It's a brilliant yet subtle idea that's what I think is the key to Insanity. That's it for today though, here's what I ate.


Breakfast - Meal replacement Shake & Whole Grain Wheat Toast
Snack - Banana
Lunch - Beef and Broccoli with Rice
Snack - Roasted Almonds, little salt on them.
Dinner- Turkey Sandwich w/ Prov

Went to school got back at 10 and then worked out

After Workout - Another meal replacement shake  - only 200~ calories and many minerals vital for muscle repair and overall wellness that I may not have taken in today.


Im tired, Time to go to sleep :)
