Insanity Workout Day 1- Fit Test

By Jeff Ochoa February 1, 2010 Shaun T Insanity 1 Comment

So after 90 days of the P90X workout and then continuing my workouts with some weight training and some P90X, I have decided to go ahead and do Shaun T’s Insanity. They believe it is the most intense workouts ever put on DVD. Sounds good to me. Let’s do this. I am going to try and fit in some sets of weight training while I go through these rigorous workouts but I’m not sure how that is going to go. I have heard a few comments that when some people have done this after P90X they felt they have lost a little strength in some of the muscles they were not using as much. Namely those darn pull-ups with P90X have been pretty much eliminated. All you need to do Insanity is a strong will to complete the workouts, a DVD player or laptop and some good cross trainer shoes. You also might want to have a towel handy to wipe up all of your sweat.

My goals here are pretty simple. I just want to challenge myself. I do not want to lose any more weight so I am going to have to eat a ton. If I can lose a little more fat around my belly area I would be happy but overall I am really happy with my P90X results and just looking to get in so more cardio. After I finish this 60 days, the goal is to put together an Insanity/P90X hybrid workout.

So was day one with Insanity hard? Yes, it was, and it’s the shortest video of the bunch. Insanity definitely is not for the beginner so be sure you have some sort of fitness base before trying to tackle Insanity. Lucky for me I was doing 2 days of P90X plyometrics or P90X core synergistics and the rest of the week was weight training. So this kind of prepared me for the adventure ahead. I had my workouts down to 5 days and I rest on Sat and Sun. Now with Insanity I will be back to 6 days again. That’s OK, I’m looking forward to the challenge. The goal when I come up with the hybrid workout is to keep it to 5 days. I hope I can do it but that won’t be for 59 days down the road.

Here are my results from my Insanity Fit Test Day 1:

Switch Kicks: 59

Power Knees: 100

Power Jumps: 40

Globe Jumps: 12

It is always recommended to take before pictures so you can track your progress. So here are my Insanity before pictures. If you are not sure of the best way to take your pictures you should check out how to take your before and after pictures prior to starting your new workout.
