I'm not sure why the calendar didn't go all the way through to 60 days, but I'm not going to complain too much. I finished a week ago today with the last fitness test. I would say that I have peaked on those exercises. This time through I did not have the paper that I have recorded all of the previous tests as I wanted to not have a number that I was trying to beat.
Previous experience has shown that if I did 65 reps of something last time, I shoot for 64 this time. I wanted to go in with a blank slate and just do the most that I could. I went up in a couple of exercises, down in a few others, and tied on one.
Overall I am impressed with the results over the course of two months. The day that I started I weighed 190 which was a very light day for me. I normally went between 192-195 the week leading up to starting. For the last two days I was 185 and 185.6. So I dropped 7-10 pounds depending on the day. The pictures don't seem to show that, but I know for a fact that I am stronger than when I started. My plan now is to go back to the first month's videos and do them 2-3 times a week trying to get some time on the bowflex in there as well. The last two weeks of this program really wore me down with the 6 days a week of workouts.
Fitness test results:
Switch Kicks - 63 0% 53.66%
Power Jacks - 45 -4.26% 73.08%
Power Knees - 95 3.26% 50.79%
Power Jumps - 25 -7.41% 25%
Globe Jumps - 7.5 -16.67% 87.5%
Suicide Jumps - 15 25% 87.5%
Push Up Jacks - 28 -3.45% 47.37%
Low Plank Oblique - 55 -6.78 83.33%
The first percentage is the change since the fourth fitness test. As you can see from those numbers I have plateaued on the exercises. The second percentages are the change since day 1. Pretty impressive considering I thought I was going to pass out on day 1. Consistent exercise does pay off, and that was without any kind of diet change.
