It all starts again...

So I started the Insanity workout back in January, I completed month 1 and the following recovery week and then before I  could get going on month 2 my day job got a bit out of control and my early morning workouts became a thing of the past.

Consequently I ended up landing on the beaches of Thailand without the beach body I'd been envisaging.

As it was Good Friday yesterday, the start of a long Easter weekend and jetlag/holiday hangover finally starting to fade, it seemed like a good opportunity to get back in to it. 

No work so woke up at 10 but feeling less than energised despite the lovely lie-in...decided to get up, get some porridge, watch the Wild Things (a ridiculous Sky 1 show where adults dress as furry animals and fall over a lot...incredible slapstick, I was choking on my porridge watching it!)...then The Sopranos, had a mug of green tea, was going to shower and head out in search of gluten-free hot cross buns when a sudden burst of motivation and energy hit me!

I went upstairs, put my trainers on, stuck the Insanity DVD in the player, filled up a pint glass of water  and then suddenly I'm back in it. 

Shawn T is back in my front room! Back in to the warm up, feeling surprisingly good as I start jogging, jumping jacks, butt kicks, mummy kicks...maybe the fact I've had breakfast is helping me...

Then it's in to the Fit Test...oh how I've missed this! I don't think so, something about having done it before is making it mentally slightly tougher, seeing as I know what's coming! 

I felt pretty good doing the switch kicks kicks, feeling pretty good, ytrying to focusd on the fomr...want to do this properly this time...power knees not bsd...ooh power jumps are starting to hurt sbout halfway thru...feeling it

globe jumps and my legs are starting to take on a leaden feel

suicide jumps...oh it's vcoming basck to me now...the killers...in to push up jacks and my flatmate walks thru the foor "ah back on the insanity he says...i'm unable to respond...strufgling to keep form here.

finaslly low plank obliques...i used to quite like this one...but really struggling to keep my body in line and hold myself up...feeling s bity lightheaded

good to be back on the horse but much work to do.
