Insanity Graduate!

LeemTHEdream

I began Insanity October 1, 2013 and completed it December 16, 2013. (Took me longer than 63 days). Initially, I was doing Insanity 5 times per week, and 6 times when I wasn't too sore. I did not lose an abundance of weight, but I did lose inches and my endurance definitely increased.

Here's my result:

Fit Test 1 Fit Test 5

Switch Kicks 90 125 +35
Power Jacks 40 55 +15
Power Knees 75 114 +39
Power Jumps 15 30 +15
Globe Jumps 6 10 +4
Suicide Jumps 10 12 +2
Push-up Jacks 8 20 +12
Low Plank Oblique 22 50 +28


My measurements Initial Current

Weight 185.6 181.0 -4.6 pounds
Chest 37 37 same
L Bicep 14 12 3/4 -1 1/4 inch
R Bicep 14 1/4 13 -1 1/4 inch
Waist 37 34 -3 inches
Hips 38 3/4 36 1/2 -2 1/4 inch
L Thigh 22 1/2 22 1/2 same
R Thigh 23 3/4 23 -3/4 inch
L Calf 13 1/4 13 1/2 +1/4 inch
R Calf 12 3/4 12 3/4 same

I lost the most in my waist and hips and arms (which are my problem areas)! I wish that I would have lost more pounds, but I'll definitely take the inches LOL I love the insanity workouts!! I got bored with the repetition half way through the second month, but I kept pushing play because I was determined to complete the program. In the future, I still plan to use the Insanity workouts to supplement other workouts because they push you to another level. My endurance has increased dramatically. I ran a 5K halfway through the program and beat my best time by 5 whole minutes!! Overall, I am happy that I completed this program and it is something else to check off my fitness list...

Congrats on your losses and on completing Insanity! It's so strange to see the scale and wonder how it's not moving, but you've melted thru clothing sizes. I agree with what you said regarding what Insanity does for your endurance/cardio. I could dance all night and not be winded or hike for hrs and there's no strain. I'll definitely use it again.
