Review of Insanity – The Fit Test Week 4

Posted Oct 19 2009 10:00pm

In this on-going review of Insanity blog series, the truth behind the Insanity 60-day weight loss program is revealed with a play-by-play description of what the program is really like – and more importantly – if Insanity really works!

The 30-day mark is the official half-way point for Insanity, and it is also the third of five Fit Tests that you take during the 60-day weight loss program. Click on through to check out the Initial Fit Test and also the 2-Week Fit Tes t to learn more about the test itself, and the great results that I have gotten from Insanity so far.

The 30-Day Difference

There are two HUGE differences when you take the  Insanity Fit Test at the 30-day mark, although thankfully those differences don’t come into play until after you have taken the actual test.

  1. The 30-day Fit Test is taken directly before a full workout. Yep, that’s right – first you give an all-out 110% effort for almost 25 minutes during the test, then you still have to do that day’s workout afterward!
  2. The 30-day Fit Test is also the transition from Month 1 of the program into Month 2, and the second month is quite a bit more difficult than the first – as impossible as that seems!

As challenging as all of the Insanity workouts are, once you transition into Month 2, the intensity and the duration of the program both increase immediately.  The workouts are longer, and since you have been working out intensely for a solid month at this point, the intensity gets cranked up as well.

The 30-Day Insanity Results

Insanity delivers on its promises of both weight loss and a high level of fitness, and the Fit Tests combined with the visual details are proof-positive of that. Both in the mirror and on paper, the Insanity results are beyond dispute.

Here are my Fit Test Results from Day 1 up through Day 30:

MOVEDAY 1DAY 15DAY 30DAY 45Day 60
Switch Kicks110124132
Squat Jacks315056
Power Knees496878
Power Jumps253233
Globe Jumps61010
Suicide Jumps111516
Push Up Jacks223234
Low Plank Obliques285458

As you can see, there has been improvement – drastic improvement – in every single exercise. Refer back to the Day 1 Fit Test Review for the details on how hard these exercises are, and how there is not much time during the Fit Test to catch your breath, and you’ll see that these kind of results can only come from a massively increased level of physical fitness.

Insanity Before and After Pictures

I am holding off on posting the Insanity before and after pictures until I get to the end of the program simply because I haven’t had a chance to take any intermediate pictures yet.

I will, however, post front, side, and back pictures from Day 1 and Day 60 so that you can see side-by-side the physical results, and I will also post the Day 45 and Day 60 Fit Test results.

Stay tuned!
