Day 49 : Insanity Fit Test & XStretch
Once again I decided to do the Fit Test today instead of attempting it tomorrow along with Max Interval Circuit. I stayed the same on Power Jacks & Globe Jumps, but improved on everything else! Not too shabby if I do say so myself!
I'm really behind on my day job stuff, so I will be working all day today and tomorrow. Oh well. At least with the holiday, no new work will be coming in.
Make it a great day everyone!0 -

Awesome job, feels good doesn't it?0 -
I decided to follow Sandy's lead and do the fit test today instead of Monday. Here are my results compared with day 1:
Day 1 Day 50
Switch Kicks - 50 93
Power Jacks - 42 53
Power Knees - 70 94
Power Jumps - 27 36
Globe Jumps - 8 10
Suicide Jumps - 13 18
Push up Jacks - 12 23
Plank Obliques - 38 63
I had to post my stats because I was super excited with my results...huge improvement. To be honest I was starting to think this wasn't really working for me. I was seeing improvements in my endurance, but I had no idea that I had improved so much until I went back and looked at day one. Thanks to Shaun T.
AND
Thanks to all of you on this board, I think I may have given up around week 3 without the support :drinker:0 -

You should be super excited -- look at how far you've come! And that's what Insanity is all about . . . doing your best. Did you realize that you've doubled the push-up jacks? Good job!! :drinker:0 -
Good Morning!
Max Interval Circuit & Yoga this morning. This is my favorite Insanity workout, and I had my best workout ever! I will definitely be keeping this in my next rotation (whatever it may be).
Lots of errands today. Make it a great day!0 -
I'm here!! Ran 5 miles this morning and feeling great! I'll be able to do the Fit Test later after we get home (on the road for the 3 hour drive home now!). Can't believe we only have 2 weeks of insanity left, Sandy!!
Happy Labor Day!0 -
Hey, I will be getting Insanity tomorrow. I plan on doing the fit test tomorrow night after my two girls go to bed. Then, I will get some time to do it. I'm in the Army so I'm looking forward to the challenge. I'll go insane with y'all.0

Day 51 : Max Interval Plyo & Yoga
Okay, here's something crazy. Had I had more time, I would have rewound the last circuit & repeated it! I'm a nut! :laugh: My body is definitely getting more efficient with these workouts -- calorie burns are down and I no longer feel the need to pause. I just keep going and going and going, like the Energizer bunny! :laugh:
Speaking of time, I need to step away from the computer and get the kids ready for the day. I'll be back later!0 -
Can't believe we only have 2 weeks of insanity left, Sandy!!

I started yesterday with the fit test! Yikes! Today I did my first workout it was great! I had trouble with the last circuit a bit but will work on improvements.
I am following the Elite nutrition plan I needed some different foods so hopefully that will pull me out of a rut!0 -

I hear ya!! I did the Fit Test for the 4th time and not only improved my numbers but also improved in my heart rate. My recovery rate is *much* faster and I finished the Fit Test feeling awesome! :bigsmile:0 -

It is a great feeling, isn't it? I can't wait to see what Steve Edwards comes up with for the Insanity/P90X hybrid!0 -
Day 51 Interval Plyo done. I love this workout!!!!
YAY!! I like that one too, not as much as I like Max Interval Circuit, but it's right up there! My favorite combo from Max Plyo are the Power Knees/Diamond Jumps during the last circuit. Love it!! :drinker:0 -
Day 52 : Max Cardio Conditioning, Insane Abs + Yoga
Done! I'm in desperate need of a shower now. I'll check back in later. I have to rush this morning to get both kids to school. See you soon!0 -
Hey everyone!
I was suppos eto have started Max this week but due to a all of the labor day events I had to attend. I couldnt fit it in! So i am finishing up this week with a mix of Insanity Phase 1 and Chalean Extreme then get into the Insanity Max level starting Monday! Today was my first day getting back into the swing of things. I took a 4 day break from pushing plan and instead had 4 days of non stop dancing! I feel great!

Day 52 : Max Cardio Conditioning, Insane Abs + Yoga
Done! I'm in desperate need of a shower now. I'll check back in later. I have to rush this morning to get both kids to school. See you soon!
Good job!!
I switched things around this week w/ the holiday on Monday. So today I did Max Plyo + Cardio Abs. Loved it, can't believe how much more *fit* that I feel.
Ok, and took measurements last night. Still have less than 2 weeks to go to finish this round.
So far...
Chest ~ Down 2"
Waist ~ Down 2"
Hips ~ Down 3"
Thighs ~ 1" off each thigh
Calves ~ 1/2" off each calf (which is amazing because my calves are really muscular and *never* seem to shrink*
Down 5.5 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Um, yeah, I'm happy about that!!!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -

Wow Jess! Way to go!!0 -
Okay, confession time. My body is not responding to Insanity the way it does with P90X. I've only taken my waist measurement lately, and it has gone up 1/2" & my weight is up 1-2 pounds depending on the day. I just don't feel as shredded as I did prior to Insanity.
It's not that I don't love Insanity, because I totally do. I just think that my body responds better to weight training. I know I am stronger & my endurance has increased dramatically, but I can't wait to hit the weights again. I'm on day 52, so it's not like I have that much longer to go! My next rotation will definitely be a P90X/One-on-One/Insanity hybrid.
Thanks to Insanity, I'm pretty sure I will crush Chest & Back the next time I give it a go.
Oh, and I also realize that adding a pound or two isn't the worst thing that could happen to me. I am pretty thin!

Hey girl!! You know what works for you! I'm more of a cardio girl, but I do miss the heavier weight training also. I've been adding in some P90X along the way though. :laugh: Insanity works for me because my body needs a higher intensity cardio since I am used to running. I still don't burn as many cals w/ Insanity as I do w/ a run, but the changes are telling me that my body needs it anyway!
Yeah, all of the pushups and full body work from Insanity will definitely help w/ Chest & Back!!
I think a One on One/ P90X/ P90X+/ Insanity hybrid would be fun. :drinker:0
