Come On Mom, Let’s Do Insanity Pure Cardio
So my mom decided to stop by today so I could help her upload some pictures from my brother’s wedding to have them printed. What I didn’t expect expect was that she was going to say YES when I asked her to do Insanity Pure Cardio with me. First we went through the pictures she wanted to have printed and uploaded them to Walgreen. Then I said, “Why don’t you do Pure Cardio with me?” My mom said,”I already worked out today.” I told her two a days never hurt anyone. I am sure she was tired as she already did about 3 miles on the tread mill but that didn’t stop her. I said, “Come onnnnnnnn” and she gave in and said OK. Pure cardio is only about 45 minutes long so that is a good thing. Now my mom has dropped about 20 pounds since the beginning of the year and she is in pretty good shape but I didn’t know how she was going to react to Shaun T’s Insanity. (Insanity is pretty tough.) Well let me tell you, she did it like a pro. She only had to take a couple breaks and I was definitely expecting her to take a bunch more but I was wrong. She kicked butt. I have been trying to get her to do some P90X work outs with me but she has always thought they were too hard. They are hard, I agree, but you do what you can and modify if you have too. This is how you get better. All I can say is getting through Pure Cardio with your AARP card is something everyone should strive for. This is the definition of role model. Let it be said….exercise is the fountain of youth. Use it or lose it.
