Georgie – Neck update – Insanity doom and gloom

March 12, 2013

No Insanity for a week. No Insanity this week either it looks like. Every time I have a good day neck wise, it’s followed by a bad day which means I am in agony again.  I have had massages and acupuncture and that’s helped a bit – I did try having a little bounce around [...]

Georgie – Arse and blast. In a swearing way

March 5, 2013

Insanity has come to a halt again. I did my neck another mischief and have spent the entire weekend with a hot water bottle across my shoulders (It seems to help.)  I am much better today then I was on Friday, but once again it’s meant a halt to my beloved Insanity and I am [...]

Georgie – Mirror Mirror – A new Insanity test

February 27, 2013

So it’s a new week of Insanity and I’m LOVING it! I can’t believe how fit you can get, and how  fast you can get it,  if you really work out hard and regularly.  I always think I am pretty fit but day by day I see improvements in my form and my limits of [...]

Bloody hell fire! Georgie – Insanity – 2nd phase

February 21, 2013

There aren’t enough expletives to cover the ruination I felt getting out of bed today. I am 3 days into the second phase of Insanity and at his point, to use an Americanism, the whole thing has gone OFF!! Ironically ‘Insane’ is the word for the last 30 days of the programme. The workouts are [...]

Georgie – Insanity update

February 14, 2013

So my back feels a lot better! It’s Thursday now so I am starting the MAX crazy bit of this workout programme on Monday when I am convinced I’ll pretty much be back to normal. A week off is just a set back – not a disaster. Just having to take it on the chin! [...]

Georgie – Insanity. Problem.

February 12, 2013

I’ve cricked my neck. Either that or I have given myself  whiplash.  I woke up this morning and something wasn’t quite right. I started my warm up to my fitness test and quite quickly it became obvious that I have done myself something of a mischief.  I did 6 minutes before I stopped as I [...]

Georgie – Insanity ‘rest and recovery’ week…

February 12, 2013

First of all – there is no such thing as a ‘rest’ when you are doing Insanity. Week 5 is a one workout wonder called Core Cardio and Balance, that’s repeated 6 times ( I did it 4 – whatever, I was having a lazy week) but of course there is no easy workout when [...]

Georgie – Insanity – Cardio Recovery

January 31, 2013

It’s week 4 of Insanity. Remember how I was honest on this blog and said that I haven’t managed to get all 6 workouts in each week yet? I have managed 5 a week since I started which I am still quite proud of. The reason is simple – on a day like today – [...]

Georgie – Insanity – wavering AND cheating. But still going.

January 30, 2013

Today, I stood by my drying rack looking at my shorts and sports bra, and worked out that I had exactly 49 minutes before I had to leave the house.  Today’s Insanity workout is 38 minutes long. I wavered. I properly wasted a whole 1 minute of my 49 trying to excuse myself from doing [...]

Georgie – Insanity, the pig gene and week 4

January 29, 2013

I’m into the 4th week of Insanity. I am DEFINITELY fitter.  I am definitely feeling better. I am definitely NOT losing weight. I am a little more toned, I can certainly do more of the exercises I find hard, like press-ups and burpees and I even have more enthusiasm which I find hard to believe [...]
