  • O.k. so here's my fit test results from Day 1:

    Switch Kicks: 55
    PowerJacks: 20
    Power Knees: 40
    Power Jumps: 15
    Globe Jumps: 4
    Suicide Jumps: 8
    Push Up Jacks: 16
    Low Plank Oblique: 8

    I felt like such a weenie. Next fit test will definately be a ton better. This is my first round of Insanity and I was starting to think I just might be insane for doing it but I'm all in! My husband and I made a commitment to each other Gettin Insane for the next 60 days. I can honestly say I feel really great considering I hurt in places I've never hurt in before and never sweat so much in my entire life. . . craziest thing happened. . . I kinda liked it. : ) The more I sweat the harder I wanna push myself. We completed day 4 this morning and I was so relieved it was a slow day was an awesome surprise . . . kinda lilke hitting the reset button mid-week so we can Bring it tommorrow. Woo Hoo! Can't wait! Let's see some fit test results! :wink:

    Make sure you take your before and after photos. And record all your measurements. You will need those for your free T-shirt! Plus it's a great way to track your weight lose other then the scale.

    And you will definitely see a huge difference over time. Just keep digging deep!

    Here are my starting numbers, which is funny the first round of Insanity before my surgery were about the same. I had ran 7 miles the day before I did my fit test last Sunday.

    Switch kicks 53
    Power jacks 49
    Power knees 88
    Power jumps 26
    Globe jumps 10
    Suicide jumps 15
    Push up jacks 24
    Low obliques 48

    Decided instead of a second recovery day - I'm going to go home and do Insanity Upper Body Strength from the Deluxe Version. I'm so glad I added the Deluxe, they are three of my favorite DVD's.

    I thought about starting Insanity (have it in there on the table). How long with warmup and cooldown is the program? I started day 1 of Ripped in 30 today. Wonder if it'd be too crazy to do them both.. one in a.m, one in p.m. I'd love the shirt from Insanity lol

    Just did my Fit test! Woo! I feel great! I pushed myself HARD! Here are my results:

    Switch Kicks: 128 (or 64 if you do it by set)
    Power Jacks: 63
    Power Knees: 112
    Power Jumps: 53
    Globe Jumps: 13
    Suicide Jumps: 21
    Pushup Jacks: 23
    Low Plank Oblique: 49

    To give you an idea...here are my fit test results from July 2010 and July 2011:

    Switch Kicks: 122 (61) and 123 (61.5)
    Power Jacks: 45 and 57
    Power Knees: 100 and 103
    Power Jumps: 30 and 40
    Globe Jumps: 7 and 10
    Suicide Jumps: 17 and 19
    Pushup Jacks: 12 and 20
    Low Plank Oblique: 28 and 36

    In 2010 I couldn't do even 1 real pushup. By 2011 I could do 10 "real" pushups. I can now do 25 to 30 in a row. :-) It's AMAZING!!!! I am so impressed with how drastically all these workouts have changed my body. Thank you BeachBody.com!! lol. I love turbo fire and I love insanity!

    I agree! At least I know you're checking up though so I have motivation to actually do my workouts.

    I got Insanity yesterday, gonna start it today. Very excited to see what the next 60 days bring.

    I know I should do the fit test but should I do a workout, too today?

    The fit test wipes you out, that's for sure! It's a workout in itself, so I wouldn't do another Insanity workout in the same day. Maybe if you REALLY feel up to it, do something a little different at a separate time of day, like going for a run or something. That's just me though :)
  • Yay! So exciting! Can't wait to see how all you guys are doing. . . just finished Day 5, pure cardio is no joke! Hubby and I pushed through it. . . should've know something was up when Shaun T get's nervous. Still pushing play takin it day by day starting to see little changes in my body already so crazy didn't expect to see changes so soon. Woo Hoo!

    9-2-11: Day 5 - Pure Cardio & Cardio Ab

    I am super excited to get home today and rock out day 5. Has anyone done this one yet? ...just noticed it is 55 minutes! YIKES! I may need to keep a mop handy!! I went out last night and bought a really great mat since I am doing this in the garage. Yes, a garage in August/September in FLORIDA!!!! LOL but I put in a high velocity fan too :)

    Happy to see so far that even though I am getting sore....I am not in pain. It has not irritated my bad knee at all. Which I can only guess is because I am watching my form. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!

    Will post before pictures if I can figure out how???

    Hi all! I do insanity late at night after my crazy work days, so I totally didn't write my fit test numbers.... Should I do the fit test over? lol I'm proud of everyone, does everyone else feel stronger and have more energy throughout the day because of the workout?

    Writing your test results aren't a must type thing. But it is fun to look back on when you finish the program. Or later in the year to see how much you improved. So as far as do it over, that is completely your call.Depends how bad you want to compare.
  • Yay! Kenny"s in. . . was starting ta get worried about ya. . . saw you posted right away you were in then didn't hear anything from ya.. . heck no don't do that fit test again until next fit test time. Good ta have ya! Starting ta shape up guys this is awesome.

    Happy Labor Day everyone!! How is everyone's workouts going?
  • I just finished my first week on Insanity and I'm already starting to see some results. Ran a 5k this morning and beat my personal best time, which I think is due to all the intense cardio I've been doing over the past week.

    Yes be careful with the power jumps! I have some back problems myself. And the one night I was doing power jumps, felt a pain. Well I decided to tough it out and keep going instead of just stopping my workoiut.Well I had some seriously back pain for like 2 weeks.
