    I do Couch to 5k training 3 days a week! I start Week 3 of 9 tomorrow! It's roughly a 20 minute run/walk workout now but should be able to run 3 miles by the end of week 9! Plus, I just finished Day 2 of Insanity! :)

    Thats great! I've never been a good runner. I ran using the same app as urs today right after Insanity :) But being too tired from Insanity only got through the first half of first day. you are way ahead of me. I will be running on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for the next two months to (hopefully) see some results!
    Thanks for reply and will keep you update. You can add me if you like to motivate each other :) how was your INSANE workout today ?

    I guess doing a squat challenge on the same day as doing this was a bad idea...lol. Well its been 2 months since having baby, so it will be interesting to see how this changes over the next few weeks, hopefully my energy levels and stamina will improve :).

    switch kicks: 120
    power jacks: 32
    power knees: 65
    power jumps: 20
    globe jumps: 4
    suicide jumps: 6
    push-up jacks: 10
    low plank oblique: 30


    Wow, starting after only 2 months of having a baby, go girl, braver than me, I was a crawling zombie at that stage.

    Finished 3rd day of Insanity and I feel like I was going to die! I can't quite figure out how to properly do the moving pushups. I did my couch to 5k this morning also. I am on Week 3 so I do a 5 minute brisk walk as a warmup, then I jog 90 seconds, walk 90 seconds, jog 3 minutes, walk 3 minutes, and repeat once! Plus I did 130 squats. I am looking at tomorrow for Insanity and it looks so much easier! lol

    How are you logging insanity? I log it as circuit training, general, would that be about right?

    You can create your own exercise, that's how I do it.

    I have a body media link and I just create my own exercise and put in the calories burned per my link.

    Finished Cardio Recovery today. I am not sure how to log it since I didn't sweat like I normally do! lol

    I just finished it too, and I did still sweat buckets! Also not sure how to log it, I'm thinking about 180 calories (my weight is around 133)? I need to get a a heart rate monitor or body media link, any recommendations?

    I just logged mine in at 30 minutes of yoga. I have no idea how many calories I really burned, but even with that low number, I still had a good day and was under my calorie intake because I did some other exercises.

    I found another thread about the burn on Insanity. Most people say they burn over 400, and some a lot more on most of the days! I know it depends on body mass and exercise intensity, but I think the general circuit training may underestimate it a bit.

    Finished "Pure Cardio" today and I get so frustrated with myself. I pushed through it and finished, but I had to take a lot of short breaks. Today really hurt and I literally almost threw up a couple times. I'm so glad it's over with, but I need to stay motivated so I can do it tomorrow.

    I took a lot of short breaks during pure cardio as well! Missed yesterday though, got a bit of a cold and cough but I'm planning to get it done today! I'm going to get my 11-yo son to have a go at some of it, he'll probably find it easy!

    Insanity is still kicking my butt. I cannot go near as fast as the people on the video. I am basically just trying to do what I can! I ran this morning and then did Insanity, so I really worked hard today!
