Night, DS!
Dinkfast is Dinner + Breakfast. Kinda like Brunch except way cheaper and usually a lot more taco bell
Now you're just messin' with me.
You guys are right about the Insanity thing seemingly being meant for really in shape people already. I agree. They just seem to market it like that. I have a feeling that I'm going to hate myself after about 10 minutes. On of my profs, who's not overweight at all, said he had to stop after the warmup on day 1. They have shown some bigger people able to overcome it, but they've had to make adjustments. I know I'm not strong enough to do a lot of the stuff, but gotta build towards it. Basically: I'll have to do this through about 3 cycles. Or more.
I read recently that stamina is mostly mental. If you think "I can" instead of "I can't" when things get tough, you'll be able to keep going.
So every now and then when you're doing this workout, just whisper "I can" under your breath. Eventually your brain will buy it.
Yeah, but if you aren't in shape and you are diving into something very intense, that can be dangerous (even deadly) advice.
Meh, I'm doing it with multiple other AT majors, I think I'm good. And I know myself well enough to know if we reach the danger zone. I'm not a middle aged man either, so I doubt heart problems will be in it.
I didn't mean for you, Pix. Just in general. If someone's brain wants to do something, they won't be able to if their heart explodes. Not typical, but still.
Had a coach who did this to me as a kid.
"Coach, my leg is really sore. I think I should stop."
"Push yourself."
(kicks a shot, rips quad muscle)
Your brain can push things beyond their boundaries, but your body is remarkably efficient at telling it when to stop.
