Day 1 of 63: The Fit Test (Round 2)

Today I completed my first Fit Test after a 2 month break. Overall I think my results weren't too good. I am totally out of shape after not doing any cardio for 2 months. It is unbelievable how quickly your body gets lazy without exercise.

Today's Fit Test Result:
1. Switch Kicks:   90
2. Power Jacks:   51
3. Power Knees:   71
4. Power Jumps:   31
5. Globe Jumps:   6
6. Suicide Jumps:   10
7. Push-up Jacks:   25
8. Low Plank Oblique:   31

These are my OLD fit test results:

1. Switch Kicks:   88  105  117  120  130     (beat Chris and Tania)
2. Power Jacks:   31  57  60  60  64

4. Power Jumps:   20  21  35  40  50            (beat Chris, tied Tania)
5. Globe Jumps:   5   8  10  8  10
6. Suicide Jumps:   7   14  11  17  18
7. Push-up Jacks:   16  22  24  31  37          (beat Tania)
8. Low Plank Oblique:   30  36  44  50  55 (beat Chris)

As you can see, I did slightly better today than on my very first Fit Test.

How did I feel? I felt like crap. I was totally exhausted and felt dizzy afterwards. Maybe my sugar level just dropped.

Day 63! Fit Test #5 - Before & After Pictures

Workout Time: 25 minutes
Calories Burned: 288

Yahoo!!!!!!!!! Finally, I have graduated from BeachBody Insanity! This is the first Beachbody program I actually completed. In the past I tried P90x but it was just too complicated and I didn't want to buy any of their equipment.

Back to my fit test. Today was my Day 63 - my last day of Insanity. I gave 110% during this fit test because it was kind of like the achievement milestone and I wanted to make sure they looked good. For motivation I used my previous numbers - this really was a good motivation as it helped me push myself harder.

Fit Test Results:
1. Switch Kicks:   88  105  117  120  130     (beat Chris and Tania)
2. Power Jacks:   31  57  60  60  64
3. Power Knees:   52  58  80  80  88             (beat Chris)
4. Power Jumps:   20  21  35  40  50            (beat Chris, tied Tania)
5. Globe Jumps:   5   8  10  8  10
6. Suicide Jumps:   7   14  11  17  18
7. Push-up Jacks:   16  22  24  31  37          (beat Tania)
8. Low Plank Oblique:   30  36  44  50  55 (beat Chris)

It's amazing! I even beat Chris and Tania on half of these moves! I will definitely keep these numbers and will beat them on my 2nd round of Beachbody Insanity.

Before & After
Day 0:

Day 11 (with weight increase due to overeating):

Day 63:

Day 60 & 61 of 63

I kind of forgot to write about my workout yesterday so I am clubbing it with today's. There isn't much to write about but I do have pictures :D.

Day 60: Max Interval Sports Training
Workout Time: 55 minutes
Calories Burned: 654

I had an excellent Day 60 workout. I was definitely bringing it and was super pumped. It is probably the most calories I burned with Max Interval Sports Training. I just realized my favorite section is the track & field segment when you are doing those slow jogs and sprints - it just really works your heart and abs!!!!

Day 61: Max Interval Plyo
Workout Time: 57 minutes
Calories Burned: 671

Today was definitely not as fun as yesterday. I was kind of dragging myself through this workout but I made it through in the end. The problem with this workout is that it is just very intense on the quads and that is just such a big muscle group that it tires you down easily.

Day 55 of 63: Max Interval Sports Training

Workout Time: 55 minutes
Calories Burned: 608

Today's workout was great. I can tell you, a good night sleep the night before does wonders to your workout. It makes it feel good and satisfying and you are not thinking about quitting halfway through the workout. Sleep well and you will workout well.

Once again, the best thing about htis workout is the variety of exercises. They are not as intense as the other workouts and you get 1 or 2 minutes break in between sets.

I'll probably keep this workout in my Post Insanity workout (still to be planned).

Here are a couple of my post workout pictures. I'll use thse later to show the progress, if any throughout the weeks of Insanity.

Day 51 of 63: Max Interval Plyo

Workout Time: 56 minutes
Calories Burned: 620

Make sure you get enough sleep and rest the night before your workout! I felt just exhausted all day and working out an intensive workout was the last of my wishes.

I started off really pumped up but I didn't have much energy to keep it up. However, I still went through the entire video and still burned my 600 calories. Dig deeper Y'all!

I also took a couple of pictures after my workout (all sweat wiped out) and will hopefully be able to use these to compare my progress in 2 weeks.

I was really hoping to get 6-packs by the end of this 60-day workout but by the look of these pictures it doesn't seem like I will be getting there. I might have to do a Round 2 and Round 3. My scale broke as well so I can't track my weight loss.

Day 11 Pictures

I took these pictures right before my workout on day 10 around 6pm. I wish I had taken full body pictures on day 0, but I guess better late than never.

Day 10 of 63: Plyometric Cardio Circuit

I started to wonder, "When will I ever be able to complete one of these workouts non-stop?" And truth be told, I don't think I will be able to, at least not within the next 6 months. Why? You can see all of the people in the Insanity class are super fit and they can't go through the entire workout without taking breaks. Myself, I am somewhat fit and don't think I will be at their fitness level for some time.

Workout Summary: Overall, I still noticed minor improvements since the last time I did this routine. It is still tough, and I still need to take breaks. And, I still want to give up when there is 10 minutes left of workout :S. I think my body is getting stronger - my feet, legs, and calves specially.

Today I decided to post a picture of myself post-workout. I'd be a lot sweatier but I was wearing a t-shirt which absorbed a lot of my sweat. And yes, physically, I have not changed - I still have a belly and I might have even gained some weight!!!
