Asylum, Day 30, Fit test numbers

Same drill, people. I didn't see a huge spike in numbers, but what i DID see was a huge increase in strength and proper form.

Exercise : Day 1 : Day 30
Agility heisman : 11 : 13
In & out ab prog. : 44 : 65
lat push ups : 18 : 20
Mtn climber switch kicks : 67 : 72
agility shoulder taps : 5 : 4.5
x jumps : 29 : 28
moving push ups : 3.5 : 3.5
agility lateral shuffle : 17 : 20
agility bear crawl : 13.5 : 15

I'm pleased with these results. Like my husband said, I'd see bigger results if I wouldn't have just come off of months and months of Insanity. I agree. I'm really pleased with my lat strength though--there's a definite deeper dive in pushups.

Next up: Asylum/P90X hybrid! But first...rest week!

Asylum, Day 30--measurements

So, today was my last day of Asylum. Tomorrow, I have the fit test, then next week is rest week, then I start my hybrid.

According to my measurements, not much has changed--my arms have gotten bigger, but that may just be because i'm a badass (i'm sure the millions of pushups had nothing to do with it). I can definitely see more muscle tone though, so i'm cool with it. So, without further ado, here are my measurements:

Bodypart: Day 1 : Day 30
chest: 35.25 : 34.75
rt arm: 10.75 : 11.5
lt arm: 10.5 : 11.25
waist: 26 : 26
hips: 36.5 : 36
rt thigh: 21.75 : 21.5
lt thigh: 21.5 : 21.25
weight: 127 : 129

Which hybrid am i doing, you ask? Asylum/P90X. Watch for fit test results tomorrow!

Asylum, Day...something-or-the-other

Just did Speed and Agility--I LOVE that workout. That and Back to Core are my favorites of the set. Two things I noticed today:
1. The ONLY reason I ever had to take a break is because my legs were starting to give out, NOT because i was out of breath or tired.
2. I was MUCH faster.

I can't wait for Day 30 so I can retake my fit test. I feel so much stronger than I was when I started this. Don't get me wrong--Shaun T still makes me work so hard I want to puke--but that's a good thing! I am really digging this program, and am looking forward to doing the Asylum/P90X hybrid.

In other news: Today is the last day of school for the girls. Wish me luck, as I work fulltime from home and am used to extreme peace and quiet! Actually, just pray that they can behave and not kill each other this summer. Yeah, that'll work.
