Started Insanity, Didn't Finish Fitness Test

Alright, so I am a 16 year old student, 6" 3 and 184 lbs. I have a high fat percentage, and I am in absolutely terrible shape. With all of this in mind, I decided to jump right into insanity (I did a lot of research before hand) and I am sad to say that I was unable to finish the Fit Test. I got 4 exercises in but despite my yelling and cursing, I was unable to continue. I decided to just put down Zero's for the other exercises, and I will continue to the next exercise tomorrow.

I just want confirmation that this is, in fact, a good way of dealing with this. After all, if they are zero's now, it will be easier to improve them when I reach the next Fit Test.

Thank you in advance, for what I hope will be good advice, and kind words :D

    Keep it up! Insanity is hard! The fact that you did four exercise is better than ZERO's all the way around.

    I am a beachbody coach and can help you keep this motivation going.... YOU WILL DO THIS!!! WHY because you WANT IT!

    Keep going! I'm on my second round of Insanity and am still finding it hard but you will get better.

    Even Shaun T will say to take breaks when you need to. Rest a short while, take some deep breaths then get back into it and you will see improvements soon.

    Learn to "Keep Pressing Play" everyday, but remember you should also probably hit Pause and catch your breath when you need a break. The surest way to finish is to keep going, but you can stop and rest at any point.

    And just in case, you might talk to a doctor.

    Also, silly poster. You are 18 but accidentally typed 16. I'm pretty sure you must be 18 or you couldn't be here.
