Monday was Insanity fit-test day. The first retake of the test since day 1…much to my surprise, I improved!!
I don’t know why I was surprised, this program promises great things..and seems to deliver them ๐
On second thoughts…when I think about it…I do know why I am surprised…It is because this program is hard work…and 2 weeks in it doesn’t seem any less hard work than it did on day 2! I feel just as wiped out at the end.
However…It has been said before, the reward for hard work is more hard work ๐
what I mean is, that the nature of this program is that it never gets easy…the more you can do, the more you do…so I suppose I must be doing more than I was at the start ๐
Just like Mr Shaun T said I would… ๐
Things you need to know about this test…

Globe jumps are actually 4 jumps in one test so an increase of 3 is actually an increase of 12 ๐
Suicide jumps are also known by the familiar name of burpees…
Push up jacks makeย ย plank jacks look like a short amble around the park!ย Iย remember when I was I was pleased to be able to do plank jacks…
As I have said before…woohoo progress ๐

Shaun T says the a lot..
I might even be starting to believe him!
Yes..this whole post was just an excuse to tell you (again) how much I love Insanity…
I might be becoming an Insanity bore!
but that is because it is awesome…and hard work…did I mention that?

Congrats! Nothing better than seeing the results of hard work!
