Day LAST!: Final Fit Test (#5)

Hello readers... meaning maybe 3 people (lol). 

Final Fit Test.  I think it might be a little bit of a cheat... since it's been a week since I've completed a workout.  Pretty busy the past week... but finally did it.  They say the last mile is the toughest right?  I know mentally I wasn't there... or here... just not motivated.  But today finally finished!  O_O  My results were pretty awesome too.  Here they are with comparisons.

Exercise ==> Fit Test 1 ~ 2 ~ 3 ~ 4 ~ 5 (Final)


1.  Switch Kicks => 150 ~ 120 ~ 150 ~ 150 ~ 156


2.  Power Jacks => 61 ~ 71 ~ 65 ~ 64 ~ 72


3.  Power Knees => 113 ~ 118 ~ 122 ~ 121 ~ 137


4.  Power Jumps => 51 ~ 57 ~ 55 ~ 66 ~ 58

5.  Globe Jumps => 10 ~ 14 ~ 13 ~ 13 ~ 14


6.  Suicides => 23 ~ 22 ~ 22 ~ 23 ~ 28


7.  Push-up Jacks => 25 ~ 22 ~ 22 ~ 23 ~ 20


8.  Low Plank Oblique Knees => 70 ~ 92 ~ 90 ~ 106 ~ 108
 
Overall improvement!  Not the best scores out of all my scores... example:  I did 8 more power jumps 2 weeks ago compared to this week... but still improvement.  I did remember resting a long time during that one.  I pushed 45 consecutive jumps... then rested until the last 10 seconds to do 13 more jumps.  @_@

I do think I have an improved cardio... but in general, I know I am not built to be an endurance aerobic athlete.  Last year we did a test in my Strength and Conditioning class... (can't find the results now), but I was the girl with the highest percentage of fast twitch in the class of athletes *proud moment* (... and the shortest).  Not enough to be an ultra athlete... but I know what type of training is best for me... and need adequate "rest intervals" to give 100%.  Need that phosphocreatine to replenish!

That's my little bit of exercise science for you there...

But I really enjoyed Insanity.  I will continue to do the workouts at my own leisure... whenever I feel the need to kick my own butt.  For now though... I will focus more on running... a goal of mine is to complete a half-marathon, start lifting weights again (my back is really weak)... and (lol) get back up on the pole!  It's hard to train for other things when you're beating your body with Insanity.

Here's a random pole pic of me from a year ago.  T_T 


So!!!  Try it out for yourself!  Go at your own pace.  It's a fun workout. 

Just be warned... it's pretty insane!
