Insanity Before and After Pictures and Fit Test Results
In this on-going review of Insanity blog series, the truth behind the Insanity 60-day weight loss program is revealed with a play-by-play description of what the program is really like – and more importantly – if Insanity really works!
Back when I first started the Insanity 60-day weight loss program, I did a review of the initial Fit Test that you take at the beginning of the program, and I just finished the 2nd of those Fit Tests. There was a lot of improvement, to be sure, and in a nutshell, I couldn’t be more happy about the results that I’ve achieved in just 15 short days.
Cardiovascular Improvement
My cardiovascular endurance has increased so exponentially that I am now wishing that I had found some way to scientifically measure it before I started the program. It is hard to accurately describe an increase in cardiovascular endurance other than to say that I can exercise harder, I can exercise longer, and I can get more out of every single exercise session as a result.
Getting more out of every exercise session means faster weight loss, as well as more rapid results in every other area of health and physical fitness.
Muscular Improvement
Although Insanity definitely hits the cardiovascular training hard and heavy during most of the workouts, that is not to say that there isn’t plenty of muscular work as well. Push ups, lunges, squats, and dips are all mainstays in the Insanity program, and there is an on-going pile of abdominal and core work that is done almost daily as well.
In addition, rather than more “standard” types of resistance training, Insanity makes you push your muscles up to their limits and beyond AFTER you are already very fatigued. That system equates to not only visible results and strength improvements, but to increased muscular endurance as well.
I have made improvements in every single muscular/resistance exercise that I have seen so far in the Insanity workouts, and you can check out the impressive numbers below.
Weight Loss
Being an ex-personal trainer, I don’t focus on some random number on a scale, because I know that what is in the MIRROR is more important than what the scale says. In that regard, my mirror is showing me visible improvements after only 2 weeks with Insanity.
I have visibly lost body fat from my legs, stomach, and chest, and even though my arms are by no means in need of trimming up, I can even see some additional body fat loss there as well.
I am looking forward to the 30-day point in the program because it is the exact mid-way point when the 3rd Fit Test is taken, and it is also when Insanity switches to the Month 2 format, which – if it’s even possible – is said to be even more challenging than Month 1!
The Numbers
Each of the exercises in the Fit Test is a serious challenge, and you are given 1 minute to do each movement, then 1 minute to rest before doing the next one. If you want a detailed description of what each movement is, check out my Week 1 review of the Fit Test. Here are my week 1 and week 2 numbers:
| MOVE | DAY 1 | DAY 15 | DAY 30 | DAY 45 | Day 60 |
| Switch Kicks | 110 | 124 | 132 | 140 | 145 |
| Squat Jacks | 31 | 50 | 56 | 63 | 69 |
| Power Knees | 49 | 68 | 78 | 88 | 94 |
| Power Jumps | 25 | 32 | 33 | 37 | 41 |
| Globe Jumps | 6 | 10 | 10 | 12 | 13 |
| Suicide Jumps | 11 | 15 | 16 | 18 | 19 |
| Push Up Jacks | 22 | 32 | 34 | 37 | 42 |
| Low Plank Obliques | 28 | 51 | 58 | 60 | 67 |
As you can see, the improvements are definitely there! Also, there is one other improvement that is not measurable, but is nonetheless still very valuable – self confidence!
When you do a program as intense as Insanity is, and you consistently push it to the max during every single workout, other challenges in your life suddenly don’t seem as tough anymore.
If you can take your body to its absolute limit – despite how intensely difficult it is – that type of confidence stays with you long after the workout!
