I am a former intermittent exerciser. I never tried tough workouts because I didn't think I could do it, and I worked at a gym! I would try something new, do it for a few months and then fall off the bandwagon. I never pushed myself out of my exercise comfort zone, I still tend to not want to push myself. I don't like to feel uncomfortable when I work out. I think that's why I like distance running. I find a pace, settle in, and enjoy my music, nature, or good conversation with my running buddy.
What I do know, is that that is NO way to get better. In order to improve, physically AND mentally, one MUST be pushed. You must commit. No excuses! I tell my clients and my patients that all the time. Push yourself and you WILL get better. If you don't increase your weight or your reps, if you don't get off the couch, you never will!
So why this blog topic? When I started my fitness journey earlier this year, I did a program called the 21 Day Fix, had amazing results. It taught me how to eat, what to eat and I now love eating nutritious, clean foods. My running improved tremendously. Like 13 minutes off my half marathon PR. Amazing, right? I lost 15 lbs! and have been able to maintain it. The workouts are diverse and quick and are wonderful for anyone of any fitness level! BUT, I feel like I am ready for something new and different.
The brand new program, Insanity Max 30, was just released. This program scares the living s*%t out of me. And that is the exact reason I am going to do it. I know that I sat in my comfort zone for way. too. long. In the past, I would have looked at this program and said "no way", I will sweat way too much. (ahem, excuse.) But now, I know that I can do anything that I put my mind to and that this program will do amazing things for me mentally and physically.In an interview, Shaun T (the fitness trainer for this program) says that Insanity Max 30 is "not for the lazy or people that make excuses." This program IS for anyone who is ready to make a change, to commit and to put their all into their health and fitness.
What is Insanity Max 30?
-30 minute workouts (cardio and resistance)
-60 Day program

To me, this is the ultimate challenge and will be such an accomplishment to complete! Where are my people who want to challenge themselves? It's a new year, it's a clean slate. Who wants to say that they were able to complete one of the toughest home workout programs out there? Who is ready to transform their body AND their minds??!!
