Warning: Insanity is not for people with health problems.... Day 1 - Fit Test

Incase you ever want to try the Insanity Workout, take heed of my warning. I would consider i'm in pretty decent health, no major problems of the sort. I started Day 1 of Insanity with the Fit Test. It's supposed to do a lot of cardio/strength related workouts to show your progress through-out Insanity every other Monday. I would say I did pretty well considering I've never worked out intensely pretty much my entire life. I wasn't at par with what they were doing on the video itself, but i assumed I wouldn't be, they've all done this before. For the first week, here are my results:

Switch Kicks : 41
-------------------- Yeah this wasn't so bad, I can do this....
Power Jacks : 32
-------------------- Im starting to feel pain here....
Power Knees: 50
-------------------- Here's where i started to feel like I was about to die.
Power Jumps: 20
-------------------- Jumps suck
Globe Jumps: 7
-------------------- Okay so Globe jumps are actually 4 jumps in one sooo if that makes it sound anybetter
Suicide Jumps: 8
-------------------- Push up position, "jump" your feet up to your hands, then jump up in the air, rinse repeat
Push-up Jacks: 15
-------------------- At this point it was even hard to write down my results
Low Plank Oblique: 20
-------------------- Finally... it's over... "And now it's time to do our cooldown exercises..." .....crap.

So overall, i'd say pretty decent. Not gonna lie, I felt like quiting by the end of the 3rd exercise. Each additional exponentially increased my want to quit, but I didn't. I'm pretty proud that even though it's the first day. I did it, didn't give up and literally gave it my all. I felt like I was going to pass out at points, felt like getting sick almost, yet I didn't. This is tough, real tough, it's only going to get more difficult, but I'm up for the challenge. If you think you can do it, see if you can beat my results, but again take my warning to heart. This is not easy at all.

Here's my daily food intake (crappy for day 1, but it's better than usual)
- Breakfast: Meal replacement shake - 2 peices of wheat toast - little bit of butter - overall pretty healthy
- After Breakfast Snack - 2 strawberrys and some grapes
- Lunch 2 slices of medium sized pizza -- Honestly just trying to eat it cause i didn't want to waste it.
- After lunch snack - Banana
- Dinner - Turkey /Provolone sandwich with mustard (spicy good mustard nom nom)

Oh and also what seems to be excessive amounts of water all day.

Well, i'm exhausted now and probably smell like a dairy farm, so I guess i'm done here. Time to go study for a Java & History test I have Tuesday and Wednesday. If your keeping track, i'll post late tomorrow (school till 10:00pm)
