Today is Sunday, and Sunday’s are supposed to be my rest day. However, as mentioned in my previous post, I looked at the schedule for Monday and it has me slated to do both the Fit Test and the first ONE HOUR workout of Month 2 (Max Interval Circuit). I decided instead to do my fit test today and skip the rest day so I wouldn’t have to be carted off to the hospital on Monday!

Here are my results for the 3rd Fit Test. I have compared my increase in percentage from the last fit test and also show my overall increase since my first fit test. I am very happy with the results!

I am getting stronger at absolutely every exercise which is amazing and a testament to the Insanity workout program. My biggest increase is with push-up jacks where I have doubled my output.  This one particularly makes me happy as one of my goals is to build upper body strength.

After the fit test today I went and did a bunch of yard work with the family since the weather was sooo nice.  It’s funny though, as I am raking leaves, I can feel how much stronger my body is.  I find myself tightening my core and holding form during my raking!  Perhaps I will develop an outdoor yard work exercise program that uses shoveling, raking, weed pulling, and lawn mowing as the exercises. ;-)

Alright Month 2, let’s GO!
