Insanity: Day 15

One way Insanity monitors your progress is by having the individual perform the same Fit Test every 2 weeks. You are to do as many reps as you can in 1 minute and then record your results after each exercise on the handy dandy Fit Test Card that came with the program.

Here are my results:

Exercise Day 1 Day 15

switch kicks 50 56

power jacks 32 42

power knees 63 69

power jumps 20 29

globe jumps 5 8

suicide jumps 10 12

push-up jacks 7 10

low plank oblique 18 28

As you can see, I improved in EVERY exercise! Yipee! I still don't see any physical results yet. But I can definitely tell that my cardiovascular fitness is improving. I think the 2nd month is when the body transformation is supposed to take place (lets hope!). It would help if I followed the eating plan (whoops!)

15 days down - 45 more to go! Not that I'm counting - oh wait, I am! Hurry up!

Insanity

As I promised a few blogs ago, here is an update on my 'workout' plans.

I just finished my first week of Insanity.

As the name implies, the workouts are insane!

So far I am enjoying the program. I look forward to each workout. (this never happens) It could be because it's the first week and is something new and different.

The workouts are challenging and I am dripping with sweat by the end. I am actually sweating by the end of what they call a 'warm up!"

Each workout consists of A LOT of jumping, squats, crazy push-ups, and basketball and track 'drills.' It is 100% cardio.

I took a 'before' picture and I am planning on taking an 'after' picture in 60 days. Hopefully I find the courage to post my results.

Apparently my body loves to store fat. I decided that it's time to get serious and do something about it. After gaining 15 lbs since last summer, not being able to fit into a lot of my clothes and 'jeans' weather right around the corner, NOW is the time. AND I'm a bridesmaid in October. It's time to get motivated and make a change!

I'm hoping to have progress to update you on over the next few months.
