The Beginning

I'm starting this blog in hopes of not only keeping myself accountable as I embark on P90X but also so I can track my progress and make notes on things I need to do as the process evolves. This is the beginning of something new, and I am so excited. So here we are, in our last week as we know it: the week before Insanity.

This evening I took the Insanity Fit Test... next Wednesday, we (barring any mishaps) start P90X Classic. Here are my results, so I can refer back to them later and see how much I've improved (a ton, I hope!)

82 high kicks/min
35 power jacks/min
62 power knees/min
23 power jumps/min
3 slow jumps/min
5 suicide jumps/min
13 push up jacks/min (arms only slightly bending)
37 oblique planks/min

It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Except for the first exercise, the high kicks, which I kind of rushed and did more sloppily than I should have, I tried not to rush it and to stick to the exercise as it was supposed to be performed. I could have rushed and done more on some of the exercises, but what would be the point in that? I was definitely out of breath by the end, and wish I hadn't chugged water throughout-- that definitely made me feel bleh. Other than that, it was a good half hour workout and I was pleased that I saw it through.
