Day 15: Fitness Test

Today was an absolute feel good kind of day! I’ve been doing this workout and nutrition plan for 2 weeks now. I don’t really “see” a difference in my body shape. What I do see is a change in how I feel. I am not as stressed, I have more energy, I just feel… good. The most rewarding part of the process is how much my body has actually changed. Here are the results from the fitness test, compared to day 1:

Task Day 1 Day 15 (+/-)
1) Switch Kicks: 37 62 +25
2) Power Jacks: 45 54 +9
3) Power Knees: 61 81 +20
4) Power Jumps: 16 26 +10
5) Globe Jumps: 5 6 +1
6) Suicide Jumps: 12 15 +3
7) Push-Up Jacks: 17 29 +12
8) Low Plank Oblique: 33 50 +17


(plus means I improved by that amount)

So if you’re ever doubting that anything is actually happening or if this was even worth it, here is your proof. It is, and this makes me feel REALLY good!

Day 1: Fitness Test

MY ASS!!! This is not a fitness test, this is bootcamp!

After the warm up, you do 8 different "tests" for 1 minute each, and a cool down. Even the cool down wore me out.

8 different "tests," 1 minute each, as many as you can do.

Day 1 Results:
1) Switch Kicks: 37
2) Power Jacks: 45
3) Power Knees: 61
4) Power Jumps: 16
5) Globe Jumps: 5
6) Suicide Jumps: 12
7) Push-Up Jacks: 17
8) Low Plank Oblique: 33

The sweat POURS from your body. It comes from places you didn't know could sweat. Wearing a shirt is completely pointless.
My friend Ana walked into my living room in the middle of day 1, to find me like this...



This image pretty much sums up how I did on the fitness test... fail. epic fail. My legs eventually just gave out and couldn't support my own body weight. What am I getting myself into...
