    I did the fit test today as well. Basically I went hard as possible without compromising form. I'm not very fit but I'm working to change that.

    Switch kicks: 28
    Power jacks: 29
    Power knees: 42
    Power jumps: 19
    Globe jumps: 4
    Suicide jumps: 6
    Push-up jacks: 0 lol.. I cannot do a proper push-up so I did as many modified as possible but didn't keep track
    Low plank oblique: 14.



    that looks to me not bad :) will see how well i will do , im really out of shape dont have any strenght in me :(((

    I'm in! Did fit test on Monday (yesterday):

    Switch Kicks: 45
    Power Jacks: 42
    Power Jumps: 20
    Globe Jumps: 7
    Suicide Jumps: 15
    Push-Up Jacks: 11
    Low Plank Obliques: 60

    My legs are stronger than my core by a longshot. Can't wait to see the improvement over the coming fit tests.

    I'm 46 years old, and am on a mission to keep up with my 10 year old daughter. She's got a rock hard 6-pack from gymnastics and martial arts. I've never had a 6-pack, so here's something to work towards - and I need to shred all this squishy on my body, too!

    Looking forward to watching us all progress over the next 60 days!

    I just finished the plyometric cardio circuit. Wow, it was tough compared to the fit test. But the end of it I was moving at twice the pace compared to the trainers. And when the drills moved from the floor to jumping up to the floor again? Forget about it! Lol. But I stuck with it and did my best so at least I can be proud of that.

    I'm sorry, I just saw this now. How did you make out? The last 10 minutes is the hardest and I was by no means keeping up with the instructors. I just kept moving to the best of my ability. (while looking like a limp noodle)

    If you didn't finish I think you should try it now. You had some time to rest so pop that DVD back in and finish strong. You can do it!

    Thats the spirt. Just hit pause if you need it, catch your breath, and keep going. I was sore sore yesterday evening but started feeling better this morning.

    Day 3 is a lot easier than day 2, so I hope that makes you feel better. :wink:
