Fit Test Results...
From the beginning to the end....
Here are my results from my very first fit test back in May of 2013...
Switch Kicks: 60
Power Jacks: 34
Power Knees: 73
Power Jumps: 37 (I don't think they were that good the 1st time)
Globe Jumps: 10
Suicide Jumps: 12
Push-up Jacks: 0 (I had put 10, but then realized I had been doing them all wrong and poorly...so I changed it to 0... this was the hardest move for me.... since I had struggled with push-ups in the first place.. moving your legs out the same time you move your arms down takes a bit of coordination.... but I got it.. and now it's one of my favorite moves)
Low Plank Oblique: 34
End results from Tuesday... (after 3 rounds of this Insanity!!)
Switch Kicks: 156
Power Jacks: 68
Power Knees: 103
Power Jumps: 64
Globe Jumps: 14
Suicide Jumps: 22
Push-up Jacks: 29
Low Plank Oblique: 75
Switch Kicks difference: 96 more
Power Jacks difference: 34 more
Power Knees difference: 30 more (this seemed like it NEVER got easier for me.... I could never go consistently for the entire minute)
Power Jumps difference: 27 more
Globe Jumps difference: 4 more
Suicide Jumps difference: 10 more
Push-up Jacks difference: 29 more
Low Plank Oblique difference: 41 more
I feel pretty good about my results and you can tell how much stronger I have gotten with these 3 rounds... I seriously love Insanity, and I may even take it up again after a long break from it....

3rd round of Insanity is DONE!!!
I finished it!! Yay!! 3 rounds of Insanity are under my belt.. and I couldn't be happier!! Although I am done, my results are not that great like I have mentioned before... No big losses like the other 2 rounds... but I am proud of completing it... and ready to move on to my next adventure... 13.1 miles baby!!
But... first, I would like to share my results of the 3rd round...
I did start my 3rd round in November and then I got sick half way through it and had to quit cause I couldn't breath... so I started it up again in January... so my measurements from November is what I have as my "before" here they are:
Beginning 3rd round:
Weight: 175
L Arm: 11.5"
R Arm: 11"
L Leg: 22"
R Leg: 22"
Waist: 41.5"
Hips: 41"
Chest: 40"
End of 3rd round:
Weight: 177
L Arm: 12"
R Arm: 12"
L Leg: 21.5"
R Leg: 21.5"
Waist: 41"
Hips: 41"
Chest: 38.5"
So that is a total of 4" lost and no weight loss.. many people are saying I have gained muscle... which I know I have I feel thinner... and so I am going to say the weight gain is okay for now... until I can lean up a little more...
Some small victories I have had this round is that I almost have to go and buy new jeans, as my pants are all getting too big for me... luckily I do have a few smaller pairs that still fit... I have been able to buy some Large size shirts... and previously I had to buy a 2XL... and just recently my work got some new uniform shirts...and I am appalled at what size I fit into..... a MEDIUM!!! Honestly I never ever remember fitting into a medium shirt!!! I am taking it and running with it!! LOL It actually is very slimming on me... so I feel great!!
Whats next for me you ask... well I have said it a bunch of times already but I am going to be running my first half marathon in July.... July 19th to be exact!! I couldn't be more excited... I have this amazing trainer helping me out with my training... and yesterday I ran for the first time in 4 months and was able to push out 3 miles... I really was aiming for 4 miles, but it got mental... and mental won!! I need to push past that mental block... So I am going to keep up on here throughout my training... I am going to pull from everywhere I can to keep my motivation... I know I can do this!!
**My ultimate goal for this half marathon is to run the entire time.... I really want to focus on getting enough endurance to be able to do that...***
For those of you that have done Insanity, I am going to be posting my fit test results from the 1st round to the fit test I just did on Tuesday!!
