Insanity Fit Test Day 36 Results and Max Interval Circuit

My recovery week is over and it's time to start pushing again. My Fit Test was not as strong as I thought it would be. But, I was also surprised at what a week "off" can do. I forgot how hard you really have to push yourself in this workout! I also did Max Interval Circuit immediately following the Fit Test. As I had already "warmed up" from the Fit Test I skipped the warm-up for Max Interval Circuit.

Insanity Day 1 Dig Deeper and Fit Test

This morning I started Insanity. I weighed in at 182.8. I have not worked out for the past 5 days due to pulling a muscle in my shoulder (lifting computer equipment at work), so weight is up by 2.8 pounds. Today was the first day my shoulder did not hurt. It feels a little sore as I write this.

The fit test does not burn a lot of calories in its 30 minute block. However, it’s not meant to, it’s designed to test your fitness level. But, you still burn a comparable amount for that 30 minutes.

According to my HRM, in 26 minutes I burned 547 calories.

• Min Heart Rate: 71
• Average Heart Rate: 161
• Maximum Heart Rate: 189

When you begin day one watch or fast forward through the fit test before you begin. This will give you an idea of what the exercises are. You’ll have one minute per exercise with a minute break. You’ll need it too.

Meals

I stuck with the nutrition plan and had approximately 2470 calories. I now know I was not eating enough during P90x. I was full all day today eating this much. This is also with a 500 deficit in order to lose weight. I'll be eating the same meals all week, but will probably pick different meals for next week.
