Just looked at a video of the fitness test. Wow, if the rest of it is anything like that, respect!

Thanks @dolorsit it is pretty intense, a well named program 😂👍

Day 50 😱: Max Interval Sports Training. Done 💪
I only realised this morning as I'm staring at my calendar looking forward to doing my favourite insanity workout (max interval circuit), I did the wrong workout on day 48 🙈 It should of been max interval sports training, not interval circuit! So today I had to switch workouts (oops!).
It was really good to have a new workout though and this one is so different, I really enjoyed it! New moves like the knee pulls (omg the one hand touching the floor knee pull had my glutes on fire 🔥). I think I did so many power jumps yesterday that my body was like, nope not today, because I did not have much power on the jumps today and let's just say, I'm not going to be a gymnast any time soon 🤣 this set was the toughest for me 😬 I loved the boxing set, made me feel bad a#s and the core section was good to do the same exercises as in the max abs. All in all, a great workout to change things up and I was wrecked by the end 👍👍 Have a great day!

@katylockett WOW! I just read your entire thread today and you are knocking it out of the park.

I'm glad you aren't using the scale as a measure of success. Measurements and pics too are the best.

Although Insanity is a bit too much for me (I used to do the plyo stuff 10 years ago but now I can't)..knees suck.

I am inspired to start a similar daily program, just lower impact.

I can't wait to see your 60 day results.

Congratulations on your hard work and thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks @bebeisfit ☺️👍👍 I sure am glad the scale was not the only measurement I was going by, the inches lost have been amazing!

I believe the max 30 has a low impact modifier - I've been having a nosy for the next challenge, although I can't help wanting to go through this one again 🙈 I really enjoyed a lot of the workouts!

Thanks again, your comment, it inspires me to get to the finish line, digging deeper of course 😊

Day 52: Max Cardio Conditioning and Insane Abs. Done 💪
I almost did it again today 🙈 My fitness may have got better my my ability to read my calendar has deteriated 😂 I was convinced it was a Max recovery day 🙄 Thankfully I caught it this time before doing the routine! I had to do today's workouts mid shift as I didn't have enough time before work this morning - a mid shift workout really takes a lot from me, as my mind is on major sabotage mode 🤔 ' how can I get out of this' 😬, but I pressed play and got on with it 👍
I started with the Abs workout today to see if my form would be better that way round and yes, I wasn't hurting my back as much and my form was better. I was totally wrecked after the Cardio Circuit - I couldn't see at one point for sweat in my eyes (eew 😰🤣👀🙈) but really glad I gave both workouts my all and I still have the gizillion push ups to look forward to tomorrow 😵😂 I hope every one is having a good day 😊

I was doing Insanity like 5 years ago.. omg for a weeks couldn't get thru full workout! but finally did it, and the joy was incredible not mention results!

I agree @daychallenger The progress and seeing the results of all the hard work is an amazing motivater! Can you remember what your end results were?

They're there, never fear!
But also- think about all you've achieved rather than what's still to be done. That'll put it in perspective!

Totally! Thanks @skinnyrev2b I need to use this thinking, I'll remember it 👍
Oh gosh, it's an after work workout today 😬 it's going to take some 'not thinking, just get moving' to get going.
I've got this! 'I love push ups, I love push ups' arghhhh 😂

Don't think. Just do. Don't open your mind to excuses. Assume it's a given and do the thing.

You saved me tonight @skinnyrev2b 🙏 thank you! The whole drive home I'm quoting you 'don't think, just do' and guess what.... I did 👍👍 Total mind games I was playing with myself today, dreading the after work workout, but it was no different than getting going on the morning workout. Thanks again, really appreciate the encouragement!

Day 54: Max Interval Circuit. Done 💪
I smashed this today 💥 I love this circuit! I even managed all the floor work 😱🎉🎊 Absolutely wrecked again 😰 and definitely need to look into buying sweat bands - my eyes (eew 🙈). Very pleased to get this done early today and hoping to have time to get out a run later today - I can't believe how much fitter I've got, so chuffed! Have a great Saturday everyone 😊
