so who's done the Insanity Fit Test?

[fit44]

Question on the switch kicks: Are you counting every kick or every pair of kicks. In other words does a right and then left kick count as 1 or 2?

I counted pairs. I started on right leg and counted the right kicks. Right kick one- left kick- right kick 2.

I hope that was right.

It really shouldn't matter as long as you count the same way next time. I would think it would be easier to count on just one leg without losing track... I was just curious so I can know how much I truly suck when I do my test. I'm kidding, of course. I'm in this to do MY best. I'm looking to compete with myself and not anyone else.

I counted my kicks the same way - there was no way that I could have counted one leg at a time. I think the counting part was almost as hard as the fit test - I think that was a mental test. I had a very hard time counting the global jumps - I know jump to rt side, then back , then jump to left side then front counted as one. I just got kind of confused as to which way I was jumping a few times!

FYI.. I just noticed the calender actually does tell you 2 kicks = 1 rep for the kicks. I didn't pay any attention at all to the diagrams. They show you all of the fit test moves.

BF is too funny!

Switch kicks: 125
Power jacks: 55
Power knees: 95
Power jumps: 53
Globe jumps: 8
Suicide jumps: 25
Push-up jacks: 8 (push-ups have always been my weak point )
Low Plank Oblique: 85

I am previewing Plyometric Cardio Drills right now and I can't wait! Here is the discussion I've been having with my boyfriend about it:

Me: This looks awesome.
BF: This is totally NOT awesome. It's crazy. They haven't had a break yet! What's up with that?
Me: It's still the warmup - they can't take a break in the middle of the warmup.
BF: No way. This is the workout.
Me: No - look at the little counter thingie. It's the warmup!
BF: I can tell you right now that I will not be doing this with you.

That conversation was somethng like the one my DH and I had, except, he says he will try it with me. We are starting STS on Monday and Insanity. We'll see how it goes!

Hi Jaye -
Insanity is definitely a headwrecker! I did it for about 2 weeks with 0 results and jumped back to Cathe, because I got quicker results with her. My hubby still uses it for his cardio days though.

 

[worseenemy]

Good question. I've done Cardio Plyo circuit several times and when I viewed Cardio Power & Resistance I thought they were very much the same. I didn't get that feeling when I did CP&R this morning.
Pure cardio scares the crap out of me! I don't see any breaks.
I'll be ready to take a cardio break tomorrow and hit the pure cardio after.

My jeans were fitting loser today. These 40 minute workouts pack such a big punch I think I'll stay motivated. At least for the summer months.

Hi fit44,
I was wondering how do you do the rotation, I'm on the 3rd week I've been skipping a day of it, because I'm doing sts in between, I did had knee surgery almost 4 years ago and I'm still afraid of getting hurt, so all that high impact workout I'm doing it but very careful, I'm doing good so far.
I don't see the necessary of doing the fit test. So i'm not worry about I did the first one and I was very close to the girl.
But I have to said,I'm feeling pretty good. I don't think my jeans are loose, but I feel my body different.

um i have really bad knees too and im worried about the impact but so far its been better than running. when i ran on ground or tredmill and right away my knees would ache ... arthritus.... and as long as i land right im pretty fine i guess.
