I have to admit, this last week has been kind of confusing. Confusing for the fact that I got the schedule all kinds of messed up (somehow) and couldn’t figure out what the heck went wrong.
The week started out with Max Interval Plyo…well, and this is my fault completely, I only read the first two words and assumed it was Max Interval Circuit. So, even though I strongly dislike MIC, I did it. After that workout, I looked ahead and the schedule to brace myself for what Tuesday had in store. I didn’t catch this mistake until I saw that Wednesday was MIC. (Crap!) To myself, I though, “Surely they wouldn’t have the same workouts just a day apart from each other.” So, I looked back at Monday and found my error!
I found that Friday was Max Interval Plyo. In my head, I decide that I would do MIP in Wednesday’s place and that should fix it.
Tuesday was Max Conditioning and Cardio Abs. I did that with no problem. Looked at the schedule and SAW that the next workout was Core Cardio and Balance. So, on Wednesday I did CCB. (If you read properly, I was supposed to do MIC and was going to sub that with MIP, but did CCB instead.) On Thursday, I caught my error and decided to do MIP. Friday came and I was actually supposed to do MIP that day. (Man!!) So, I did MC&CA…which, if you guessed right, was actually supposed to be for Saturday. Saturday morning, I was at a loss and I pondered for a while how in the heck I got so messed up and confused. I did CCB that day and once that was over, I thoroughly checked the schedule that I had completely screwed up and found my major error!!
The major error is the way the schedule is created. At a glance, the middle of the chart makes me “That must be Wednesday.” So, I did that workout in that middle box that I saw. On the schedule, the days of the week are so far up the page and so tiny that it’s hard to tell which day is actually which (unless you squint real hard…lol). So, that is how I got all messed up.
On a completely different subject, I blew my first Fit Test scores out of the water!! I’m very happy with those results, not so happy with the Weigh Day results. I’m so ready for P90X to knock some pounds off of this body!! Anyway, the results. (Mind you, these exercises last a minute each and you have to do as many reps as possible.)
1.) Switch Kicks [2 kicks = 1 rep]
Started With: 21 (and dropped out early because I couldn’t catch my breath!!)
Ended With: 50 (did it the entire way through!!)
2.) Power Jacks
Started With: 28
Ended With: 54
3.) Power Knees
Started With: 42
Ended With: 98
4.) Power Jumps
Started With: 18
Ended With: 30
5.) Globe Jumps [4 jumps = 1 rep]
Started With: 4
Ended With: 9
6.) Suicide Jumps
Started With: 8
Ended With: 12
7.) Push-Up Jacks
Started With: 1 (can’t do a full Push-Up though)
Ended With: 12 (still can’t do a full Push-Up though) <<probably going to be a goal of mine by the end of P90X
8.) Low Plank Oblique
Started With: 24
Ended With: 44
If you recall, that first day, I was drenched in sweat and “I was huffing and puffing like no one’s business!” << actual quote from Day 1. Even on Day 63 though, the same thing applies. I was very sweaty and huffing and puffing even MORE than the first day (maybe, can’t remember too well.) But, I was able to keep going!! That’s the point. I’d definitely say that insanity was a success as far as building my cardio…but not so much of the weight part.
Speaking of which, I weighed in today and Simon said : 174 <<blach!! I started out at 176. So, a WHOPPING 2 pound weigh loss, (woohoo!! <sarcasm, much?) As far as I am concerned, I’d only go to Insanity to increase my cardio. I’ll save P90X for weight loss…which exactly what I’m going to do…tomorrow. Wish me luck!!
