Insanity Fit Test – Day 1<\/h3>\n
Well today was the official start of Day 1 of Insanity<\/a> with my husband. \u00a0 The Insanity Fit Test<\/strong> marked our first day. \u00a0 We haven’t worked out together in years, so its fun to start something new with him.<\/div>\n

I did Insanity last year and I’ll be honest, I wasn’t that crazy about it. \u00a0 I don’t know if it was because it was mid-summer and hot as hell, or if I just wasn’t mentally ready for it. So I did 4 weeks and quickly went running back to Tony Horton’s P90X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then I tried again in the fall, this time I thought I’d do a yoga\/Insanity<\/a> hybrid. \u00a0 Well about 2 weeks into it I hurt my shoulder. \u00a0 Too many chaturangas with my power yoga and too many push-ups with Insanity. But it did open up the door to trying Brazil Butt Lift, which was perfect around the holidays followed by more P90X.<\/p>\n

Well at about week 8 of round 3, I started getting the itch to try Insanity again. \u00a0 I surely thought I was crazy because why on earth would I want to try that again? But the thought kept needling its way in and sure enough I substituted one of the P90X<\/a> cardio workouts for an Insanity workout. \u00a0 Guess what! I made it through and actually felt great afterwards. So I tried it again on the next cardio day, and I was totally hooked. \u00a0 So I asked my husband if he’d do a round of Insanity with me. \u00a0 I was shocked when a week later he told me yes. Just to see if he was really on board, I tried a workout with him on Saturday and he loved it. \u00a0So much so that he wanted to do another on Sunday. So its official, we started Day 1 today. We trudged down to the basement at 5 am to start our insane journey.<\/p>\n

The Fit Test<\/strong> is a workout in itself. \u00a0 30 minutes of power exercises, combined with plyometrics, push ups and core exercises that make Pilates look like its for girlie’s.<\/p>\n

And for the record, I like the Insanity<\/a> Elite Nutrition Guide a lot better than the P90X<\/a> Nutrition Guide (which I still like a lot).<\/p>\n

Here are my results for today’s Fit Test<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Switch Kicks 100 (or 50 each leg)
\nPower Jacks 58
\nPower Knees 100
\nPower Jumps 44
\nGlobe Jumps 8 (I know I sucked at this one, but I had also \u00a0worked out \u00a012 days straight)
\nSuicide Jumps 14
\nPush-up Jacks 29
\nLow Plank Oblique 40 (not as easy as it sounds)<\/p>\n

So the next Fit Test<\/strong> is on Day 15. \u00a0 Let’s see if I can dig deeper and rock this!<\/p>\n
