Day 13: Cardio power & resistance. Genuinely enjoyed it. Even managed more press ups than usual.
Day 14: Pure cardio. Felt alright. However, I was meant to add a 16 minute abs session on the end of this workout, and I just couldn't as I was running out of time. We had a dinner party this night and had a shedload of cleaning, shopping, and cooking to do, so I gave it a miss in order to get the flat in order.
Day 15: Rest day - yaldi! And much needed after said dinner party.
Day 16: The Fit Test. I was really rather worried about this. When I looked at some of my scores from my initial test, I didn't think I'd be able to beat them, but I was pleasantly surprised. Having a number in mind to beat did make it easier to keep pushing, and having done all the exercises in the various workouts meant there was no real fear - I know it sounds silly to be scared of a workout, but if you've done Insanity, you'll understand!
My scores this time were:
Switch kicks: 110 individual (55 pairs) - up from 90/45 in the first test
Power jacks: 56 - up from 50 in the first test
Power knees: 104 - up from 85 in the first test
Power jumps: 26 - up from 0 in the first test
Globe jumps: 8 (sets of 4) - up from 5 in the first test
Suicide jumps: 12 - up from 8 in the first test
Push up jacks: 12 - up from 0 in the first test
Low plank oblique: 42 - up from 33 in the first test
So scores were up on all counts. But more so, I was really aware that my form had improved. Not only was I doing more of each exercise, I was doing them better, and essentially working harder, getting more out of each exercise.
So this gets a happy face :)
