When I first started Insanity, I had to complete a fit test on Day 1. I thought I did HORRIBLE on that first day but given my lack of intense exercise prior to starting, I could understand why. Every two weeks, I'll complete a fit test as another way to measure my progress (other than just by weight or measurements.) So...with that said....my Day 1 and Day 15 fit test results are as follows:
*Drum roll please*
- Switch Kicks: Day 1- 40 reps. Day 15- 45 reps.
- Power Jacks: Day 1- 35. Day 15- 52.
- Power Knees: Day 1- 60. Day 15- 77.
- Power Jumps (these are a beast!!!): Day 1- 15. Day 15- 25.
- Globe Jumps: Day 1- 6 reps. Day 15- 8 reps.
- Suicide Jumps: Day 1- 11. Day 15- 12.
- Push-up Jacks: Day 1- 8. Day 15- 16.
- Low Plank Oblique: Day 1- 40. Day 15- 55.
As one can see, I made progress in most areas... not significant progress like they pointed out in the video but I will definitely take what I can. And after doing 25 power jumps, there was no way I was going to increase my globe or suicide jumps!!! I'm sure by Day 36, I'll increase my numbers again. :) Hope everyone who's doing it has seen an increase in numbers as well and best of luck to my brother-in-law Brad and nephew Elijah who will be starting Insanity in the next week!
KEEP PUSHING PLAY!!!
I know! Those Power Jumps just take everything you have out of you! I was feeling good until I did Power Jumps, after that I was exhausted, and had to sit down for 10 seconds during the break! It kills you for all the future exercise! Great Improvements - Your really getting there! Keep it up! Only 2 more days this week and we get a day off!! whoo!
