INSANITY Completed

It is hard to believe but we have completed INSANITY and loved every minute of it. Our last day was Saturday, November 25th, but we chose not to blog about it until after the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale had ended.

It was a good thing we waited as we had a bit of a set back over Thanksgiving. It appears that even though we were choosy about what we ate, and controlled our portion sizes, we still managed to gain a couple of pounds. We also felt bloated and a bit uncomfortable in our skin, so we decided to do a 3-day Shakeology cleanse prior to doing our final weight in, measurements and FIT Test.

This cleanse has helped us lose the pounds we put on over the short holiday (we can't even imagine what will happen to us during Christmas). So come tomorrow we will be shooting our after photos, completing our final FIT Test, weighting in and taking our final measurements. We hope to have the results posted in the next day or two.

Now, if we could just decided on which program to do next. Decisions, decisions...

Well, we are glad to report that we have survived two full weeks of INSANITY and have really been staying motivated to push through the routines and dig deeper each day.

Today, we had our second FIT Test. Below is a comparison of our first FIT Test Scores to our second FIT Test Scores. The results are pretty exciting since we have only been at it for 14 days.

INSANITY here we come!

Yes, it has been long over due, but the time is now right to begin Shaun T's INSANITY. We've been talking about doing this for awhile now, and now is here.

For those of you who may not know what INSANITY is, it is an intense 60 day workout program with trainer Shaun T. No weights or gym equipment is needed - just determination and motivation. This program is not for beginners. If you are just starting out we would recommend Power 90 by trainer Tony Horton, before beginning an exercise regiment of this nature.

Day1: The very first thing we did today, after taking our measurements and pictures, was the FIT Test. The FIT Test consisted of eight different exercises. Each exercise was a minute in length and we had to count how many reps we completed in that round.

Eight exercises later we were tired, sweaty and exhausted. We can't even begin to imagine how we are going to feel tomorrow after we do the first workout: Plyometrics and Cardio (yikes)!

So until then....
