Second Fit Test

One of the perks of Insanity is that the Fit Test is done every 2 weeks. Really helps track progress. So, today was the second fit test. All numbers increased significantly. Last time I felt like my legs were what held back numbers, having just completed a half marathon the day before. Today I felt like my endurance/cardio abilities were what determined my numbers. I went as fast and as hard as I could, stopping when I needed to catch my breath.

I love that the Insanity fit test is a DVD. It ensures that you are doing each move for the correct amount of time (1 minute) and forces you to take the correct (varying) breaks between the moves. Love not having to time anything myself.

The hubby and I thought that it sounded like a good idea to do the Fast and Furious DVD after the fit test, so we'd get a "real" workout in. Twenty minutes of crazy may not have been the best idea after pushing super hard on 10 moves. The workout has a brief warm-up and stretch, then 15 minutes of going all out with no breaks. My favorite part of the workout was when, in the middle of the move, all three people on the TV are bent over trying to catch their breath. Glad I wasn't the only one!
