Insanity

heresashlee

I am starting Insanity on Wednesday (I need Tuesdays to be my rest day since I am busy from 6:30AM - 10:30PM).

Is anyone else starting out soon? I would love some friends that are doing Insanity as well!
Does anyone have any tips?

I did a month of P90x before, but then went on a holiday and never started it when I got back.

(This is a new MFP account, just needed a fresh start).

I just started Insanity this morning! Not gonna lie, I'm not happy with the results of my Fit Test, but I did it. I've gotten considerably out of shape and over weight, but the only way to get back to where I was is to take it one day at a time and keep at it!

That's great!
Can I add you?

I'm worried about my fit test too. I can't even do one push up!

Just wanted to wish you all success!! I did Insanity before, but after the first month, I had to stop. The second half of the program is more time consuming and by that time, my knees didn't want to cooperate anymore. The program is really fun though!

Insanity is great! One of my favorite workout programs, and I've done multiple rounds of it! The best advice I can tell you is to just stick with it, but don't push yourself to injury. Yes, it's hard. Yes, it's tiring. But it's a great way to get in great shape! And believe me, the warm-up does get easier. Don't be afraid to take breaks if you need it.

Feel free to add me as a friend and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the program.

I thought the first month was fairly easy, but yes, in the second month the workouts are longer and my knees are not faring too well, I've kind of had to modify some of the jumping. Fortunately I'm on my last days of the program. Overall its a really good program and will be doing a T25/Insanity hybrid when I return from vacation in a couple of weeks. Good luck and protect your knees.

Thanks for the tips I tried to plan so that the second month is a month where I will have more time.

Thanks for the advice, it is very tiring. The warm-ups feel like a workout already!
I already have modified some of the moves (even some of the push-ups) as I currently cannot do a full push-up . I take breaks when I need too!

I can't wait to see the results!

The first month is fairly difficult for me, so the 2nd month will probably be very difficult; thanks for the heads up. I will protect my knees

I just started today. I did the fit test and the first workout. It was tough, and I consider myself to be in pretty good shape, exercise-wise. Looking forward to continuing.

i just use the same insanity Polymetric Cardio Circuit each time, it saves changing it up and i just pick the days when i feel i need to get a bit of sweat going.

Finished the program yesterday, pretty happy with the results and am already planning the next round! Along with the advice given above, make sure you pay attention to what you are eating... I didn't this time and I know my results could have been even better!

Most importantly, have fun!

I'll be doing day 2 tonight. I did the first month during the summer and had good results in measurements, hardly any weight. Had to stop as life kidnapped me pretty badly, but now I'm trying to get back into it.

Add me!

Thanks for all the advice and tips!
