Insanity Workout 30 Day Results! (Before and After)

I honestly don’t even know where to begin with this post. The first thing that I want to say, is that when you truly put your mind to something, anything can happen. Anything is possible! Even when it seems like all of your effort is for nothing, just keep pushing and fighting for what you want and believe, and your dreams will come true!

I am not saying that I am exactly where I want to be yet, but I am saying that I am getting closer! In a minute I will share my exact results from month 1 of the INSANITY program, but I just want to talk a little about what has been going on with me, and what I have been doing so you get a better idea oh why I have these results.

My starting weight going into INSANITY om May 1 2012 was 143lbs. I had been sitting at that weight since October 2011. The two months leading up to October, I did a meal replacement where I drank 2 protein (vegan) shakes a day, and ate mostly vegan for my other meals. I had started at around 150lbs. 150lbs and only 5’3…not good I wasn’t feeling confident and I realized I stopped taking pictures of myself when I started putting on the weight. In high school I was about 115lbs, and in college about 125lbs (I gained more muscle). I am getting married in May 2013 to the love of my life, and I wanted to feel confident and beautiful! I am not doing this for anyone else but for myself. When I look back on my wedding pictures, I want to be able to say I was in the best shape of my life! I also want to start out my new married life knowing how to prepare healthy foods, and having fitness be a part of the every day routine!

Okay so onto the good stuff. I wanted to share my Fit Test 1 and 3 results, and my measurements from Day 1 and Day 36 🙂 

Fit Test Day 1 / 36

Switch Kicks 57 / 53
Power Jacks 42 / 55
Power Knees 80 / 98
Power Jumps 25 / 30
Globe Jumps 10 / 13
Suicide Jumps 15 / 15
Push-up Jacks 15 / 20
Low Plank Obliques 55 / 65

Overall I am SUPER happy with my results. A few things stayed the same or went down, but the moves I improved on, I improved A LOT! To me this is proof that my cardiovascular strength is improving tremendously…this is just in about a month! Wow. Now, onto my weight loss and measurements.

Weight Day 1 : 143lbs
Weight Day 36 : 139lbs 🙂

Measurements Day 1 / 36
Chest 34.5 / 33
Left Bicep 12.5 / 12
Right Bicep 12.25 / 12
Waist 34 / 32
Hips 41 / 40
Left Thigh 24 / 23
Right Thigh 25 / 23
Left Calf 14.5 / 14.25
Right Calf 14.5 / 14.25

Total Weight lost is 4 lbs and 8.75 inches! That is incredible. When I look at my body I notice changes, but I didn’t expect that much. I am going to commit to myself not to pay attention to the scale until it’s weigh in and measurement day. Even though I haven’t lost an extreme amount of weight, my body is shrinking! I know that muscle weighs more than fat, and so I feel like my body is gaining muscle, and eventually the fat will start to melt off. I set a weight goal for myself of 120lbs, and at the rate I am going, I am confident that I will reach that goal by the time I walk down the isle! 🙂

I hope this is inspiring to you, and that you stick with your workout programs. Insanity is not the only solution, but from the results I have been getting, I would definitely recommend that you check it out! (You know you have seen the infomercials!) Here are two of my before and afters. The first is my 3 week, and the next is my 30 day. You can even see a difference from week 3 to day 30!
