Day #1 - Fit Test

And so it begins. The insane journey. Thank God I have hubby to do it with, and Syeela has the boys to do it with.

Well, it's the first day. So we will start with the measurements. Despite my dying humiliation, here are my current measurements and pictures before the Insanity Beach Body...

Space is an issue here. Our apartment is only 900 square feet. The living room isn't spacious enough, so I did the fit test in hubby's study. It barely accommodated one person's workout. Since we don't have a laptop, it is hard to bring the videos elsewhere. In the meantime, we will just make do.

Looking at the fit test's score, it looked great to me at first. Then when I heard how many kicks they did in the video, I knew I was out of shape. My scores dwindled from that point as I was really struggling to even breathe through my nostrils. But hearing Shawn T's voice kept me going. It was hard, but I tried my best. 

First Fit Test (18.3.2013)

The hardest part were the power jumps and the push-up jacks. Those nearly killed me. I hurt my ankle landing on one of the power jumps. Hubby told me it was because I was not wearing shoes. I will be getting an exercise mat so I can wear shoes inside my home. I do not want any injuries. 

When it was finally over, I was so relieved, and was already sweating a river and had to sit down because I was about to throw up. My face was so flushed that hubby said he has never seen my face that red. The great thing was, I didn't even need my inhaler at all afterwards! It means I must be doing it right even though my score was low. I will try my best to improve on my next fit test. 

Despite feeling relieved, I was sad that I was done. I couldn't wait for my next workout, and see how I can push myself further.

One thing left to do... plan a healthy diet properly.
