Insanity Fit Test - Week 8
Made it through the first seven weeks of Insanity. I think that means I will make it through the last two!
Here are the results of today's fit test.

I almost didn't bother with the fit test this time, because I was disappointed by the lack of progress in some areas last time over the time before (we do a fit test every two weeks). But as I look at the progress from the start of the program, I cannot help but be pleased.
The results speak for themselves. Insanity works, if you are trying to improve your lower body and ab strength, as well as your cardio fitness.
During the fitness test DVD, Chris and Tania compare their results, using their start-of-program and end-of-program numbers. Mine are better than theirs as far as percentage improvement, so I'm okay with my results. They're pretty fit people. (Yeah, I know they could be fudging their numbers to make me feel better about mine, but emotion is a huge part of any fitness program, so I'll take it ;=)
The toughest part of Month Two of Insanity is doing a second workout on Fit Test day. That'll be later. I need to recover a bit.
