Okay... let's be clear. I HAVE been working out since June. I promise. I just haven't been blogging about it. I was trying to do the whole alternating P90X2 and Insanity each week, which was awful. I didn't like taking a week off of weight training. I didn't feel like I was making progress in either work out.
So, after trying that for the Phase 2 of P90X2, I gave it up and focused on P90X2 Phase 3. I felt good. I'm definitely still working on my tone. My weight and body fat percentage are still up from where I'd like them to be, but I really am more at peace with it. I'm strong, fit, and buff. ;)
I started Insanity a week ago, right as Leadership Academy started. I managed to work out two days during Academy, which was awesome because I usually just run three miles. This time, I did Plyo Cardio and Pure Cardio (the second with my friend, Angel). I felt great!
Here are my fit test results, which I did on July 30 and will be repeating every two weeks:
Switch Kicks: 48
Power Jacks: 58
Power Knees: 80 (left)
Power Jumps: 25
Globe Jumps: 9
Suicide Jumps: 13
Push-Up Jacks: 13
Low Plank Obliques: 48
Already, I have noticed that my knees are sore. I squat down to get something from a lower cabinet and it's an effort to get back up. I'll need to return to regular knee icing.
Awesome fit test results! I'm glad you're not cheating like that girl on the DVD by counting her Switch Kicks wrong. I'm on my second week of a P90X/Insanity hybrid, and the first week I felt steamrolled again since I never used to strength train that much. So my admiration of your workouts has grown even more!
ReplyDeleteAlex is finishing Insanity today, and I think his results were noticeable than mine.... but no matter what, those fit test numbers WILL continue to climb. Take care of those knees! Shoes or a softer landing surface might help.
