Happy Monday!!!!

I am a person who loves seeing results, whatever it is! I love seeing $$$ in the bank, a clean room, empty laundry baskets, people loving on me (healthy relationships), and 'down 1 lb.' on the scale.

Love seeing pics of myself &
seeing that my hard work is paying off!!!

We did the Fit Test just 3 times, (didn't quite follow the directions.) Had the thought "I just want to get in & get out"...but, I'm guessing I would've pushed myself harder during my workouts & each Fit Test, if I had done them more often. This is why it's important to follow directions, right?

This week marked the end of the Insanity program for Dave & I. Below are my ending results compared to the previous 2 tests.
FIT TEST RESULTS & IMPROVEMENT:

Exercise/Move                         June 25th               July 18th_____Aug. 22nd
Switch Kicks                              80                           88                         94
Power Jacks                               50                           65                         39
Power Knees                             106                         103                       102
Power Jumps                             34                           40                         42
Globe Jumps                              12                           18                         12
Suicide Jumps                           17                           21                         19
Push-Up Jacks                          13 (knees)             20 (feet)               19 (feet)
Low Plank Obliques                 56                           82                         70


(Each move is all done w/in 1 minute. Similar to a drill. Some numbers are better, some the same.)

This program really strengthened my upper body. This is a great regimen if your goals are to:
  • Totally condition your entire body
  • Increase cardio ability
  • Tone your body (especially upper)
  • Get your core in shape
                                                                                                                                                                               
One thing that stands out as a difference with my body is my arms. I didn't do any lifting of weights, yet my biceps appear bigger, my shoulders are more defined.

I dropped 8 lbs....but kept off 5. :) My goal was to COMPLETE the program remember? Love the results I got w/ this for sure!!!!!

This week we start our TurboFire week. I really missed it.

It's so important to find a workout that you love,
that way you don't have to work extra hard
to talk yourself into working out!
You just want to!!!

Today is the last day!

Try this!
Are you tough enough?
So in the next few minutes, I will do my last Max Cardio Conditioning workout of the Insanity program. Can't believe I made it to the end!

I did miss about 3 workouts in the middle when my son was very sick w/ his asthma. However, I've stayed committed & will have this thing completed.

Tomorrow is the final fit test. The beauty of this program (and most) is there are fit tests along the way to show you where you start from and how much you improve toward the middle and at the end. Those are the numbers I've been looking at.

To be honest, I didn't start this with the desire to drop 10 lbs. I did this workout program for a variety of other reasons:
  1. To see if I could even handle it.
  2. To get in the best shape of my life.
  3. Get more definition.
  4. And to "complete" a program.
I've started P90X before...I've started the calendar on TurboFire, but for some reason I could not complete it. Probably because I was not setting myself up to succeed. With Insanity, (which was only 67 days) I did some things different to enhance my chances of finishing:
  1. Got a workout partner. (accountability)
  2. Woke up at dark:30 a.m. to work out. (scheduled workouts/plan to succeed)
  3. Posted up the calendar. (looked at GOAL daily to stay focused/on track)
  4. Logged in my workouts daily. (more accountability/track success)
  5. Shared with people that I was doing it. (more accountability)
My schedule, accountability, and the goals posted
together created a plan of attack to succeed at this!

The end result, my shoulders & biceps have really got more defined (all those push-ups, planks, and drills). And I've kept off 5 lbs. I will confess, I didn't follow the nutrition plan completely. I've eaten healthy, but maybe a bit more than the recommended number of calories. But I am super happy with my results!!!!

This week being the last week of the program, I already have a plan in place. I have 8 days of August left, which is going to be Turbo Fever around here. I'll be honest, I miss working out to Chalene Johnson, she is amazing!!!

Starting Sept. 1 tho' it's on like Donkey Kong. A P90X/TurboFire hybrid!!! If you have a couple of the Beachbody workouts, you can hybrid them together. The website has workout sheets for a schedule of when to do what workout!!! (See bottom of the page to check out TurboFire!!!)
