INSANITY DAY #1- FIT TEST

I officially started the workout program Insanity today!  The first workout is the fit test.  You do 8 different exercises for one minute each to see how many you can do.

Here are the exercises:

1. SWITCH KICKS

2. POWER JACKS

3. POWER KNEES

4. POWER JUMPS
 
5. GLOBE JUMPS

6. SUICIDE JUMPS

7. PUSH-UP JACKS

8. LOW PLANK OBLIQUE
 
The whole thing takes 25 minutes, including a warm up and cool down.  While it sounds easy enough, I was sweating and breathing hard by the time each minute was done.  I pushed myself as hard as I could go and for most of the exercises, I had to take a break & then jump back in.  By the time the fit test was over, I definitely felt like I had had a good workout.  I'm actually feeling sore tonight, so I can only imagine what I will feel like by Sunday. :)
 
Tomorrow's workout is plyometric cardio circuit.  It is approximately 40 minutes long & as the names states all plyometric cardio.  I will definitely be needing my P90X recovery drink after that one.  I guess I'm a glutton for punishment because I can't wait to try it! 
 
Stay tuned...
