My boyfriend and I have completed Day 3, and since we forgot on Day 1 to take our "before" pictures, we did it today. I- being the sensitive girl I am- had my mom retake my "before" picture because Jordan's picture taking skills made me look chubby. (Or so I thought it was his fault). Unfortunately the picture looked exactly the same when my mom took it.
My main area that I want to see improvement in is my stomach. I would like to trim the extra "chub" from my love handles and from the front of my stomach. A little definition would make me VERY happy! With the way the first 3 days went for INSANITY, I do believe I will get results in my stomach area. I'm very anxious!
Day 1 is the Fit Test. My results were:
Switch Kicks: 90
Power Jacks: 43
Power Knees: 55
Power Jumps: 25
Globe Jumps: 5
Suicide Jumps: 12
Push-up Jacks: 16
Low Plank Obliques: 34
The Fit Test alone was enough to make me sore. I was most definitely feeling it, especially when I woke up yesterday morning. But Jordan and I were excited to continue on and get to the Day 2 workout: Plyometric Cardio Circuit.
Day 2 was intense! Jordan and I each had our seperate pool of sweat by the time we were finished. I was breathing so hard and could feel my heart rate going through the roof. But I love that I am already finding that extra "Umph" when I do these exercises. I want to really push myself because I'm not okay with half-assing things! The exercises we did for Day 2 were challenging. I had to take brief breaks all throughout so my legs would stop burning. I guarantee I am going to see a huge difference in my quads, hammies, and calves by day 60 because the work load on my legs has been tremendous (and it's only been 3 days!).
Day 3 was today and it was not easier by any means! Today was Cardio Power and Resistance and Jordan and I felt like it involved a lot more upper body than yesterdays. There was more push-up incorporated exercises in today's workout. Of course there were plenty of squatting, jumping, and so forth involved. I can't explain how bad my calves burn! My groin and hamstrings are extremely sore, too. I'm happy because I can feel my lower abdominal muscles and shoulder muscles sore as well. When I walk I try not to bend my knees so that my calf muscles are not engaged... haha, it's pretty cute. I love this feeling!
I am very excited for Day 4. From my understanding it's a lot of squatting and stretching exercises since it is Cardio Recovery. But "Recovery" should not indicate "easy!" Let that be a warning!
With that being said... BRING IT ON! I'm very happy to have changed up my normal workout routine to something more challenging to my body, and I'm even more happy I have my biggest supporter, Jordan, doing this right along with me. I can't wait to see his improvements, too!
