felt SO much stronger this time! I'm going to start Max tomorrow morning but this fit test has me very keen for the next 4 weeks! whoop!

Max Int was mad but I was stunned at how much I could do even at a lesser energy level. Problem - I dont have Max Recovery, the DVD is scratched and wont play apparently. So do I replace with Cardio recovery....going to ask around and see if anyone can lend it!

Awesome job you guys on your fit tests, your results gave me strength mentally to do mine, i was so worried with it being a two hard workout day.

But here are my results....i only actually counted my 2nd fit test switch kicks as my first real one for that exercise because I was not doing them properly they were half butted (not high at all, kinda like the mummy kicks) so i focused on them on the second one instead:

Switch kicks NA/31/40
Power Jacks 36/43/48
Power Knees 61/83/90
Power Jumps 19/20/27
Globe jumps 5/9/9 - this one i am not impressed with because i was being slow not impressed with myself on this one
Suicide jumps 12/13/16
Push-up jacks 11/12/14
Low plank oblique 28/31/36

Woot woot!!! So very proud....except the globe jumps, but i promise myself to do so much better next time on them.

I'm still confused on the whole eating thing. I use bodymedia so sometimes get confused but i've been having a 5-800 deficit which i think is what i'm supposed to have.

I am looking forward to plyo but man oh man my butt hurts today lol.

My switch kicks aren't as high either but they are definitely higher than before a little slower but higher, all about form right?

This month brings so much more strength to us, i can't wait!

I'm definitely stronger, i never used to be able to do pushups, ever! I used to have a hard time with suicide jumps (burpees) anything. I just noticed last night that my arms are bigger....i had a night shirt that i hadn't worn in a while and i tried to wear it last night and i had to take off bc it was way too tight on the arms so my arms are bigger from muscle. My butt doesn't bounce as much and i have definition in my tricep and bicep, not to mention i can see it starting my my legs too.

My butt and shoulders kill today which is awesome bc it means my muscles are working and getting stronger. I generally go by how i feel too and am trying to eat more protein rather than carbs, try to even them out but talk about hard. I'm definitely a carby person, which could explain a few things on my body. But i'm determined to get there and get better.

I'm so glad that i found insanity because i do think it is my soulmate workout, i absolutely love it! It is the one workout i have found that i can stick with through the whole thing.

I'm the other way - I found Plyo easier than Core, I think just because I can even the harder stuff out on my legs but I cant on with my arms, and there's A LOT of arms in Core!

I just snooped your diaries to see your averages Im often around 170-210 carbs, because I eat so many vegetables and fruit, and if I get into the 70s for protein I'm happy, I have fromage frais pretty much every day as a snack because it's naturally low fat/high protein. You guys definitely all do far better with your protein...

Do you follow MFPs 55/20/15 (I think it is) macros on carb/fat/pro or did you set yours up? Mine follows .35g fat per lb, .8g per lb protein and the rest of the carbs making it up to my 1800, which is my TDEE-15 or 20%. I followed SaraUK/SideSteels Eat/Train/Progress suggestions as they seem quite well respected on here, but I'm meant to have about 120g protein. Not ever going to happen!

Okay so I'm a buffoon I did Max recovery last month instead of cardio recovery. I just found Cardio, but since he introduces Max recovery 'as this is your Cardio Recovery' I never noticed!

I actually felt awesome tonight, I wasnt looking forward to it knowing the plie pulses were there but knowing I've done Max recovery already I felt ready to attack! On 30 day shred, I did the low to high planks on my knees but since I still cant do a press up I thought sod it, I'll just keep trying. I went slowly, with a break in between each and did 4 to his 16 but DAMNIT I'm determined to build some arm and chest strength up. Have you any tips for doing a pressup? Where to focus, where to squeeze, that sort of thing?

Okay totally had your angry frustration this morning in Plyo - the balance press ups....I just cannot do it. I was so frustrated to not be able to do the last move, I dont deserve a break if I'm not doing the bit beforehand!

I still cant do a pressup

We will, definitely! I kinda want to get a skipping rope and get jumping with it, I'm pretty sure that'd be a great way to building up muscle for doing those power jumps!
