If you are playing along with my Insanity challenge, you already know that I had to take a week (really 9 days) off to recover from a pretty substantial calf injury. As of Saturday, I was walking around with no pain and felt pretty much back to normal. In order to keep the integrity of the challenge, I decided to rewind back a week to account for the week away. It also works out that I start with a test to see where I fell back during the siesta. So, I am going to pretend that the last 2 weeks didn't exist from the challenge standpoint (except that you will see the "real" day 15 results in parentheses below).
Day 15 of the Insanity challenge is a "Fit Test" session to determine if you have made any progress in the last 2 weeks. Here are the results from today's Fit Test workout along with the results from Day 1 (and real Day 15) for comparison:
| Exercise | Day 1 Reps | Day 15 Reps |
| Switch Kicks | 35 | 38 (38) |
| Power Jacks | 26 | 45 (40) |
| Power Knees | 53 | 75 (73) |
| Power Jumps | 22 | 27 (25) |
| Globe Jumps | 6 | 7 (8) |
| Suicide Jumps | 8 | 13 (13) |
| Push-Up Jacks | 11 | 18 (17) |
| Low Plank Oblique | 22 | 32 (30) |
So, based on these results, the rewind plan looks legit. Once again, the numbers in the table give me some sense of accomplishment and fortifies my resolve to keep going. Tomorrow (Day 16) is a "Plyometric Cardio Circuit" session.
