Insanity- Fit test #2

Well, last nights tennis fiasco was great. I think I spent more time chasing down the ball then I actually did playing. Hahaha, but it was fun.
Today marks the beginning of my third week in the Insanity program, which means re-testing to see where I stand. Here are my results:

Exercise names Test 1 Test 2
switch kicks 77 94
power jacks 33 50
power knees 67 88
power jumps 19 40
globe jumps 6 9
suicide jumps 12 16
push jacks 10 16
planks 14 20

As you can see I have made some great improvements. If you haven't done this program don't freak out about the names, the exercises aren't that bad. I am also glad to say that I have lost 2 pounds. I began this program at 160 and I am now at 158. My husband started at 299 lbs and is down to 283 lbs. After comparing our results I have decided to explain a few points on our (my husband and I) extreme differences.
I have always been at a steady weight. Ever since high school I have always been in the 150's. This is nothing new to me. My husband, believe it or not, was at a slim 210 lbs. After we got married he slowly expanded. His immobility or lack of exercise built a lot of fat cells, while I maintained. As he began working out, he burned off a lot of those fat cells quickly. Your body has a mechanism, when working properly, will burn fat. This is what is referred to as your metabolism. Since he is bigger in fat cells then I am, he will lose a lot more weight faster than I will. As where I, have reached my plateau, where now I will tone up before I lose weight. This is difficult for people to understand. Your body needs a specific amount of fat percentage to function properly. Its like your own insulation. So instead of losing that last fat percent, your body shapes your muscle. This is where your energy than is used, in your muscles. I only lost 2 lbs, but I can see my legs and biceps are more defined. Plus, my calfs are a little bigger. So even if my weight isn't dropping, I am getting some nice results.
Tomorrow I continue with the work outs and I will see how much easier they will get. I have commited myself to this program and I intend to finish. I have 7 weeks left and I hope to get down to 152 lbs. I will keep your posted.
