Looking for Insanity partners

cardertaxidermy

Does anyone replace the recovery day videos on Thursday with something else? I get very bored with those. I was thinking about doing pure cardio instead tomorrow.

I'm on W2D3 tomorrow! Pure cardio is pure hell, but we're lapping all the people sat on the sofa. I haven't seen any weight loss...is his normal?

I started Insanity in Monday. Anyone else start recently. We can make this a support system and accountability

I created a group called Insanity work-out buddies to support all Insanity do-ers lol.

I've done insanity a few times. Every time I stuck to the program. The first few days I started it is was very sore. But I just battled through. Or dug dipper as they say. The results I had were amazing

Finished week2, day 4. Tomorrow is Cardio Power and Resistance. I'm a little scared of Sat because it will be my first Cardio Abs and almost an hour work out. Guess I better start getting prepared for what's ahead

During my first round, I only lost a about 4 lbs in 30 days. By the end of month two, I was down 15, had tons of definition and was two dress sizes smaller. You'll see.

I don't enjoy the Cardio Recovery days either @cardertaxidermy. It just doesn't hold my attention and I don't like 'body balance' stuff, although I keep telling myself it's good for my core.

I actually did a Jillian Michaels DVD after it this morning! I suppose i'm missing the point of the recovery element. Once you move on to the 2nd month work outs your legs do need the rest. I found mine did last time anyway.

Yayyyy finally found an insanity group on here! I started March 14 and haven't missed a day yet Today is day 39 - max recovery for me. Told myself I wouldn't miss a day and I'm trying to keep to that! Good luck everyone

I am on day 5 and I am loving how sore my body is lol I had been working out for 2 months before this and never felt this insanely tired/sore. Hoping for awesome results!!!

cardertaxidermy

Cardio Power and Resistance today. I didn't feel like I had much energy this morning. I pushed thru and got sweaty but didn't feel u was up to my full potential. Tomorrow is my first Pure Cardio doing Cardio Abs with it. I believe that is a 55 minute work out. Hopefully I have my energy back by then cause I will probably need it. pure Cardio kicks my butt alone. Hope everyone has a great day. Push Play!!!!!!!

I know what you mean. I tried insanity before and only made it thru the first week. This time around I had been working and and weight training for 3 months before. I thought it would be easier. Boy was I wrong. I could barely walk the first week.

cardertaxidermy

Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs done. What a sweat!!!!! So Glad tomorrow is a rest day. My body needs it. It will be interesting see my fit test results on Monday. How is everyone else doing?????

Lorraine128

Hi @cardertaxidermy, looking forward to week 2 here. Hoping for some signs of improvement this week to boost my confidence. Good luck with the fit test tomorrow! ☺️

I've started insanity several times and also skip the recovery day videos because I get bored. This time my plan is to replace it with yoga.

cardertaxidermy

I think I am going to start replacing it as well. With one of the other videos as long as I'm not sore.

I alternate Insanity with T25.
But I am thinking of doing Insanity for the next 63 days straight.
What're you guys' First Week Fitness Test Result?

smotheredincheese

How do you all log your insanity workouts?
I alternate between logging it as Aerobics, and as circuit training, but I don't know which one is more accurate.

I log as Arabic also. I don't know if it's accurate hopefully it's under not over!!!!

Finished my fit Test for the beginning of week 3. Here are my results. I will just post how many more reps I got for each exercise

Switch Kicks - 10 more
Power Jacks - 6 more
Power Knees - 4 more
Power Jumps - 4 more
Globe Jumps - 4 more
Suicide Jumps - 3 more
Push up Jacks - 9 more
Low Plank Obliques - 10 more

So glad to see improvement in just 2 weeks.

Hi Everyone!! I just started my fit test today as well, can I join? I really want to stick to the 60 days. I did the 30 day shred a few years ago and had good results, but I've tried to start it several times since and quit as I get bored. It's my first time starting insanity and I REALLY want to stick to the 60 days! I have a holiday in 2 Weeks and am planning to take the DVD's with me and keep going... Also try and eat as well as I can. I don't have a weight loss goal for the program as I don't know what my body will do, but I have an overall weight loss goal of around 30-35lbs. I've been eating clean since last week and already lost 3lbs so I'm feeling good!

I'm Not gonna lie I'm scared about keeping up with Insanity, but I really want to prove to myself I CAN do this, and I CAN be leaner and fitter.

Here's my fit test results... they are probably rubbish haha!

Switch kicks - 30 -

Power jacks - 29 -

Power knees - 71 -

Power jumps - 6 -

Globe jumps - 8 -

Suicide jumps - 7

Push up jacks - 4

Lower plank oblique - 14

Today was my Day 3. So we are in the same page. Lets keep each other motivated. Yay!

jordanamrussell

I just did the fit test yesterday. I've done some insanity before but this time I'm committing to doing the full program. Feel free to add me

cardertaxidermy

So glad to see people joining us!!!! I would love for this group to get really active and support each other.

Finished Week 3 day 2 today. I did Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. What a sweat that worked up. I still have to take a lot of breaks, not sure if that will ever change. Some of those exercises I just can't do for a minute straight. I haven't seen any weight loss yet. Actually I have gained 3 lbs HA. But I did increase calories because I figured I would need the extra energy. I honestly am not really looking to lose weight just tone up but I know I have to get rid of the layer of fat to appear tone.

mrs_kurz

Just finished day 2 and maaaaaan I can feel it in my legs. I had to take a lot of breaks but I kept jumping in at the beginning of each set and doing as much as I could. Is it normal that the first week is awful and I potentially can't do everything because of sore muscles? Does it get easier after week 1? I'm so excited to be on this journey though. Even though it was SO hard, I just kept feeling all my fat flying around and thinking how I was getting rid of it hahahaha!

I felt the same as you! lol My calves hurt so much when I started and I couldn't keep up with the workouts but it does get better! I notice my legs aren't as sore and I can almost keep up with them. I'm on week 2.

I also feel like my fat is flying around all the time especially on my legs when im jumping around hahaha

Morning All! Having missed a workout, tweeting my neck and not giving 100% last week, I've decided to restart Week 1. So Day 2 is in the books (again).

Haha that's good to know!! I will just keep pressing on with week 1 and do what I can... I am actually so excited to start feeling stronger though

Tomorrow's my Cardio Recovery. I am really looking forward to this active rest day. Also, clean eating is a must. I have been pigging out since insanity. Must control mouth. LoL.
