Who's heard of the Insanity DVD workout? Yeah, well who's then felt the pain that is Insanity!?! For two days now, my new personal trainer, Shaun T has been yelling at me to 'keep going' and 'Dig Deeper'... and well I'm in pain already. No, actually I was already in pain yesterday.
I have been known to buy an exercise DVD before... but more along the lines of 'Just Dance' for the Wii and I think I may have a pilates DVD and a Rock 'n' Roll one which were given to me when I completed programs in the past... but this is nothing like that. It literally starts with a scrolling WARNING almost like the beginning of a Star Wars Movie...just I read it with my jaw dropped to the floor and occasionally giggling 'coz they can't be serious'. Oh yes, yes they are serious.
'The hardest workout ever put on DVD', 'Must check with your physician before starting the program', 'You may need another program to get you in shape before you start'....
So far, diabetes doesn't like Insanity. I've had nothing but high blood sugars. I think though that this is part due to the shock my muscles are in and also I may have a bug, so I'm just going to have to monitor closely over the next few days to decide how to adjust (that's if I can even move properly after another couple of days of this!)
I am however, going to start an exercise log to share with you. I can already tell it won't be perfect and will be marred by ups and downs! If you decide to check it out and have some words of wisdom, please by all means share. There's nothing better than living a level life of great blood sugars while being active!
The exercise log will be a separate tab up the top of this page. It should be up by the end of the week.
I use the Tracy Anderson DVDs as well as weights.. And only add something new when BGLs are stable.. Keep up the fantastic work I love reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you for saying you loved the blog! Tracey Anderson - I've heard good things about her but not tried myself. I'm hoping things iron themselves out over the next two or so days...otherwise I might have to pull back for a while! x
DeleteI liked this blog because now people who are leading an insane life due to high and low blood sugar problems can still be active throughout their life. Diabetes does not sound like Insanity anymore. Eat healthy and live better.
