My Insanity Workout Fit Test

I have done the Insanity workout program a bit before so the fit test was nothing new to me. It has been a while since I have “Pushed play” on an Insanity DVD. Needless to say the trainer who leads the Insanity workouts, Shaun-T, didn’t waste any time getting me sweating.

The first test wasn’t too difficult. It is supposed to be used to track your improvements throughout the 60-day program. I will be doing the fit test every 15 days and tracking my progress with a chart provided for free from Beachbody. Below are the results from my first Insanity workout fit test.

P90X: Day three

Today was the P90X strength workout, shoulders and arms. As I begun the workout I quickly remembered that I threw away my 40 lb. stretch band the day before and would be forced to complete this P90X workout with the 30 lb and 50 lb bands. When I started doing the shoulder presses and deep swimmers presses with the 50 lb. band I didn’t think that I was gonna make it. I managed to complete each of the exercises with at least 8 reps each. I am quite sur that my shoulders are gonna be really sor tomoorw.

I was also forced to use the 30 lb. band for all of the tricep extension exercises. The only one that gave my trouble was the flip-grip twist kickback. That was a little tough with the 30. In my first round of P90X I always used the 20lb. band for this exercise. 

Afterwards I completed the entire Ab Ripper wordout. My abs were still feeling ripped from the previous workout but I managed to power through this wourkout ny doing at least 20 reps of each exercise. Tomorrow I am goona man up and do the Insanity Workout fit test. If it goes the same way the first time I did it, I should be really tired tomorrow night.

Running With P90X

Today was a cario workout for the P90X. I had the option of doing Kenpo X or running on the treadmill.  I opted to run 2.5 miles on the treadmill. I don’t mind Kenpo X but it is not easy to do with a toddler running around. Tonight was daddy daycare because mommy was working late. I managed to burn almost 300 calories in just over 20 minutes of jogging. My abs are not too sore from the ab workout yesterday. Tomorrow when I have my second strength workout of the week  I will shoot for getting between 20 and 25 reps in of each of the ab exercises.
