Did Better on every exercise except the Suicide Jumps, which I'm now convinced I mis-counted on the original test. I did this one at the park, the weather was beautiful, I brought my laptop out and my dogs watched me going insane! There must be a time limit on 'edit' post function, lame.

I just did my second fit test and improved on each of the exercises - how exciting!

You could have done both and burned even MORE calories :P

I have my fit test tomorrow, might do some more cardio abs afterwards depending on how I feel.

:happy: Yay!!! I improved!

Welcome to the "newbies" glad you are starting with us! My last week was filled with carpentry and NO insanity whatsoever --- well, my husband probaly thought I was insane for the list I made, thinking we'd get it all done in one week, lol.

I'm on "week 2" should be "week 3" so I'm somewhere in between the newbies and the original starters on 4/1.

Can't wait to see how much everyone improves - the improvements you all posted already have me SO inspired! WTG everyone!

Joined the group late, but here's my Fit Test from my first day (April 9th)

Switch Kicks : 78
Power Jacks : 29

There's a lot of room for improvement! Interested to see what Monday's Fit Test will reveal!!

Just completed my second Fit Test, there was definite improvement:

So even though there hasn't been any weight loss, I'm still happy about my endurance improving and fit test progress.

Great improvements!

Don't fret about no weight loss. Chalene (Johnson) explains it on her blog, but I think the gist is this:

"...The motivation to start a new exercise program is almost always to lose weight. However, what most personal trainers know--and most at-home exercisers do not--is that a new exercise program often can cause an immediate (and temporary) increase on the scale. (Notice I didn't say weight gain! I'll explain.)..."

It's an interesting read and you can see the rest here: http://www.dailyspark.com/blog.asp?post=why_the_scale_goes_up_when_you_start_a_new_workout_plan

But she's basically saying to be patient. You'll get there.
