FML - DAY 1 OF INSANITY..... Fitness Test

Have I mentioned before that when I decide to do something, like exercise, I can't just work into it slowly and do something moderate working up to a normal exercise routine.  Nope.  I decide to start Insanity Workout!

WEIGHT is currently 175-172 depending on the morning and the previous evenings bad food choices.

If you are not familiar with the Insanity program - it is the 60 day version of P90X but with more cardio and jumping around. It is meant for people who are already in shape ( does round count? ) to push them into a ripped, stronger, hard body.  Not meant for a somewhat active ( if you consider an occasional jog or walk active ) individuals who still have a few extra pounds they are carrying around.

DAY 1 - FIT TEST.  Monday September, 17, 2012

If the fit test is any indication of how the rest of the program will be, I am in for a world of hurt. 
We began with a warm up of jumping jacks, heisman moves, knee lift things.  This had me winded.  Then we begin the Fit test - this is to be completed every two weeks so you can judge where you started and how far you have improved.  Each move is completed as many times as you can in a 60 second increment with a minute rest time in between each move.

This is how I faired:

Switch kicks                   32

Power jacks                   28

Power knees                 45

Power jumps                 12

Globe jumps                  6

Suicide jumps                7

Push up jacks                 5 girl p/u

Low plank oblique        28

Morning, Tuesday September 18th.

OMG I am so sore. My legs - my abs - my chest/shoulders - everything that could possibly hurt does.  And I am supposed to do my first "real" workout tonight.  Im very scared to say the least. 
Im wondering if it would be ok if I maybe take this first week of the program and spread it out over two weeks just so my body doesn't break or go into shock from being over worked?  I could always go for a little run or bike ride tonight instead.  Is that cheating?  Am I wussing out already after barely ONE workout? 

Ok, so after further discussion with D - We are doing this in its entirety.  No quitting after only doing the Fit Test!  I have read some blogs and other online posts about the program.  And, what everyone keeps saying is just do as much as you can and rest as often as you need to.  Sounds simple right?  So when I get home from work tonight we do the "REAL Day 1 workout"

Wish me luck!  I hope to be able to type tomorrow so I can update you on my progress. :)
