My INSANITY Workout Fit Test Results
I started Insanity the other day. The first step was to take the Insanity Fit Test. This was my first time taking a fit test with a Beachbody program. I did not take the P90X Fit Test when I bought it and instead went right into the workouts. After reading through the Insanity workout program and the calendar I noticed how you keep track of your results. It's a little different than P90X as you are not using weights or a pull up bar with Insanity. With it being a intense cardio workout you track your progress by taking the fit test 5 times during the 60 days. Seems simple enough.
How the Fit Test works is you do 8 different exercises for a minute each doing as many reps as you can. Here are my first results with the Insanity Fit Test:
Switch Kicks 125
Power Jacks 45
Power Knees 84
Globe Jumps 8
Suicide Jumps 13
Push Up Jacks 25
Low Plank Oblique 50
Here is the video I took of myself doing the Insanity Fit Test. I was jumping so hard at one time that a pan fell in the kitchen. You can probably hear it along with how squeaky my wood floors are.
This was a lot tougher than what I expected. I was dripping sweat after doing the warm ups. I had to stop a couple times with each workout. After taking a look at my results I have decided that I want to increase each number by 20%. This is what I am pushing for.
My Insanity Workout Goals Are:
Switch Kicks 150
Power Jacks 54
Power Knees 100
Power Jumps 37
Globe Jumps 10
Suicide Jumps 16
Push Up Jacks 30
Low Plank Oblique 60
The Insanity workout is looking like it is going to be a very challenging workout for the next 60 days. Hopefully all the P90X I have been doing over the past year will help me power through it.

My name is Brad Gibala. In 2007 I was introduced to P90X by a friend training for the Marines. I didn't know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time

Do your best. Follow the meal plan too. It makes a difference. Get some of the P90X Recovery Drink.

Try doing Insanity by itself and then mixing P90X in. I did it that way. Keeps it fresh and this way you can get the most out of the programs.

Hi to all Insane people
Wow, I just finished my 2nd workout on month 2 of Insanity. Oh My God !! It is really a workout and more. It is like breaking your body down in month one and then in month 2- you really get to build. These workouts have been really intense and I am looking forward in what month 2 will do. I know it will kill me. Love it though !!

Month 2 is crazy. The first time I did it I was like “wait a second, there’s 10 more minutes of this…you’ve got to be kidding me.”

I was wondering since I am on the 2nd week of month 2- what comes next. Do people do the whole Insanity Program again, or do Month 2 again. I really Love month 2 even though it is a KILLER. I was thinking of doing month 2 again to maintain what I have achieved but I am hearing about P90X?
Any suggestions?

You can add in the Insanity Deluxe workouts along with month 2 of Insanity to get a little more out of it. Then go onto P90X.

Thats awesome. Congrats on the weight loss. I know you’ll like P90X. Its time for you to be a Beachbody Coach now and show people that anybody can do this.

Hi All,
I have finished 60 days of Insanity- Boy was it HARD !!. However, I am addicted to it, so I started Month 2 again this week.
Question- I want to try P90X, how do I incorporate p90X with Insanity simultaneously? or not a good idea.
would you suggest doing P90X for the entire program and then go back to Insanity?
Thanks

Congrats on finishing Insanity. I would suggest doing P90X on its own first. This way you get the entire benefits from the program. When you are done with P90X then go and mix Insanity. I replaced the cardio days of P90X with Insanity workouts. A basic schedule would be P90X on M,W, F and Insanity on T, Thurs, Sat with Sundays off.

Started 2nd phase of p90x yesterday. So far i have lost 25lbs between this and insanity. We are doing a combo of p90x and insanity. It has been tough but it feels good to in shape again.

I just finished P90X….did my Fit Test for Insanity yesterday, and my first real workout with Insanity today….OMG what a butt-kicker! I still have a lot of belly fat to lose so I am hoping Insanity will help me. I had to stop and start the workout many times to complete it as I was gasping for air LOL, but I completed it! I will not quit until I get the body I want! I am thinking about becoming a Coach because I really believe in the product…for anyone that is doing any of these workouts…good luck, and don’t quit…you can do it!

Hi There,
I now have all of my equipment for p90x, wondering if I should do the classic or the lean program?
Any advise?

Do the classic version. You’ll get much more from it.

That’s the right attitude to have. I still can’t finish Insanity without taking breaks. I highly recommend becoming a Beachbody Coach because it makes you commit to the workouts a little bit more.
