Insanity Month 2, Day 1- Fit Test & Max Interval Circuit

Today was a big day on my Insanity journey, 85 minutes of Insanity. Do I feel insane yet? Uh, yeah!

I took the Fit Test, ate some breakfast then completed Max Interval Circuit. My Fit Test was a mixed bag, while I improved on most of the moves, I stayed the same on one and I did less reps on one of the moves. Overall I was happy because the improvements I made were improvements I didn't think were possible.

Here are the results:

Switch Kicks       1: 63/ 126   2: 64/ 128  3: 64/ 128
Power Jacks       1: 50           2: 56          3: 64
Power Knees      1: 86           2: 94          3: 96
Power Jumps      1: 50           2: 50         3: 56
Globe Jumps       1: 11           2: 11         3: 12 (Yea!!)
Suicide Jumps     1: 19           2: 21         3: 22
Push-Up Jacks    1: 24           2: 27         3: 32
Low Plank Oblique   1: 35/70    2: 52/ 104    3: 47/99 (Bummer!)

Oh, Max Interval Circuit! This is the longest workout of the Insanity program. This workout runs 60 minutes and it is a sweaty, tough 60 minutes! I enjoyed the workout as long as I ignored how much time I had left ;D

I will break this month's workouts down the same way I broke down Month 1. I will start by breaking down the warm-up of Max Interval Circuit. There are three repeating rounds in the warm-up. The first and second round run 4 minutes long while the third and final round is a little over 2 minutes. By the third time through I was glad that Shaun T. shortened up the time!

Here are the exercises in the warm-up:

Jog
Arms Up Jacks
1-2-3 Heisman
S Jump Rope
High Knees- Arms Out
Switch Kicks
Hit the Floor
S Floor Hops

After the third round you get a 30 second water break followed by a 5 minute stretch. The official body of the workout starts when the clock hits 44:00. To be honest, I was already tired by the time the body of the workout started. I think it was the 25-minute Fit Test I had already completed. By Round two of the main workout I hit my second wind and powered through. Tomorrow is Max Interval Plyo which is a bit shorter at 47-minutes in length. I am glad the rotation followed up this doozy of a workout with a nice "short" one! I'll let you know how it turns out.

As always, I would love to hear how you are doing with the program. Also, if you have any questions about the program or other fitness programs just e-mail me: thefitnessfreak@cox.net.

See you tomorrow,
