My husband is laid off, he has been spending a lot of time w/ my 22 month old...last night, my husband said to my son...
who is mommy's boyfriend....my son says....Shaun T:0

I hope he gets work soon. My husband has been out of work since February. However, at least your husband gets to spend time with the baby. Those are important years.

We did Insanity Cardio Power and Resistance this morning. Good workout.

I did that one last night. OMG!! I can't move that quickly yet! I was huffing!

Just go at your own pace and then try to pick it up from time to time.

We did Max Cardio Conditioning this morning as part of the hybrid. 747 calories burned. 7 lbs weight loss goal by October 31st.

Hi all,
I just started INSAINTY yesterday and I completed day 2 this morning...it is so tough! Wow! I have owned this dvd for about 6 months now but never started it cause it just looked so tough! I did most of P90x a few months back and was recently working out to Turbo Jam and Jillian Michaels Shred.
It is a pretty tough workout, I'm hoping I will see results after putting myself through all that pain!
I dont have a HRM yet, getting one in Nov. for my birthday so I have no idea how many cals I'm burning. I put it under high aerobics and its says 268? That just cant be right! I only put it in for 30mins. cause really for 10mins. its stretching, 5 in the beginning and 5 in the end...

Great thread, glad to see others doing the same workout cause I may need the motivation to push through!

rcrews - you should pick up an inexpensive heart rate monitor.

Hi Guys!
I'm also Insane. I'm starting week three tomorrow (taking a rest day today, which I never ever do.). i love that insanity has ruined other workouts for me because you stop before your half dead. i love to work till the point of failure! I do do alot of modifications for things like push ups (i can't do a pushup) but, I get better and stronger every day.
I just wanted to pop in and say hello to everyone!

I can't do push ups either? Do you just do the "girly" push ups instead?

Hey there Insane chicks! I am on day 3 of week 3 and I LOVE this program. 5 pounds are gone My blood pressure was measured at the Dr's office this morning and for the first time in 5 years I am 130/80!!! I was 156/95 last Jan. when I started on my Beachbody adventure. 1 round of P90x and now into a round of Insanity and I have reclaimed my health! I LOVE BEACHBODY!!!

Tonight I have my Karate class and I am going to follow it with a round of Cardio Abs. This *kitten* is bananas and I am craving more everyday. Anyone else an addict?

Make it a great day!

edorice

gaspegirl - Great news on your health update. I'm not addicted to Insanity, but I'm addicted to feeling better and looking better.

i was searching for a insanity thread, so glad i came across this one! i'm starting insanity on monday. i started it once before, but i never got past week 2. it got me in great shape though and i lost 4 lbs. the 2 weeks i did! hoping to make it all the way through this time. i was wondering if everyone in here is following the eating plan? or if you just eat your own healthy recipes?

edorice

We don't follow the Insanity diet. I am on a 1700 calorie intake right now.

jrsmithne

Edorice - pic is too funny!!

Emily - I am only doing Insanity 2 days a week right now, but do not really follow the diet that closely. Eat a lot of the food in the diet, though.

gaspegirl - I Love Insanity and do miss it on the days I don't do it, but I needed a break from it. I do it w my hubby 2 days a week. The other days I have been doing Turbofire and C25K 3 evenings a week.

Hi guys,

So today I completed my 5th day! This workout is so tough! I dont like it as much as I like Turbo Jam, but I am going to finish it! I am hoping that I can lose those last few pounds from my middle and that this will help tone me up! Time will tell!

I started insanity last week..made it through 2 days and got sick and stopped...re started on Monday. I'm already down 1.5 pounds...and that's after a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE weekend of eating and drinking. I don't stick to the meal plans. I'm at a base of 1400 calories and then eat some of my exercise calories. I try and listen to my body. If I'm hungry I eat, if I'm not, I don't. Drink a protein shake after, they REALLY REALLY help. I've had soreness but nothing unbearable to where it hurts to walk or workout more.

Hello, i just started insanity on monday, i have a few questions since i know some of uhave experince with this workout, MFP says to eat 1200 calories But for this insanity workout i have to eat more, but i am scared if i eat the calories tht insanity suggest i will gain weight , here is a little info about me, as of right now i am not working , so all i do is sit around the house all day and take walks some days, im 5' 1 and weigh 128lbs, any help is much appreciated thanks again

edorice

Most of us don't eat all the calories that MFP or Insanity says to eat. In the first month of Insanity I would recommend that you eat 1500 calories to start with. MFP allows you to do reports at the top. You don't want your net calories too low for each day. Use a heart rate monitor while you workout.

RedneckWmn

I eat a base calorie of 1400 and at least half my exercise calories. It seems to be working for me. If you have a HRM wear it, it's the best way to calculate your calorie burn.

hello all:

I am in the 2nd month of Insanity and actually still loving it. I've always preferred to be outdoors walking or jogging or working out at a gym rather than at home and was never able to stick to a workout dvd before but I have with this one. I don't know how I get through some of the workouts but Shaun T really seems to motivate me to keep pushing it and not give up. I am still having a hard time with the floor exercises but my upper body strength has gotten better. Don't think I will ever love or like push-ups but I do try to do some of it his way then I go to the girly push-ups. My body aches the next day but I definately see a positive change so for those struggling through don't give up cause YOU CAN DO IT!!!

edorice

Welcome mizfit, it was easier for me to transition from P90X to Insanity because you get an all out assault doing push-ups with P90X. I don't hate push-ups as much now. Keep at it, the changes do occur and you'll be so proud of yourself.

Hi edorice

Thanks for the encouraging words. I will definately continue to push through and am looking forward to doing this workout all over again.

edorice

We just finished Max Cardio Conditioning. I burned 725 calories. Got a super busy day today, I don't like busy busy weekends after a tough work week.

Juicey1401

bumped for later!

edorice

Today wasn't as busy as I thought it would be. I rescheduled an appointment for Tuesday. I was able to get a double workout in today, after our Insanity session this morning. I just got back from the gym. That's a total of 1200 calories burned today. I've started doing side hops on the treadmill. Great burn for the hips.

Hi Ladies

I'm on week 4 day 1, I was really addicted to it, loved it and looked forward to it, but I'm finding it hard to muster up the motivation now and just turn it on.

I'm having great results (9lbs lost in a month) and I feel great and I definately cheat a lot less than I used to with this workout but I just need a good kick in the *kitten* to get me motivated into doing it.

Right now, my sister in law texts me each night to ask if I've done it yet - and that worked for a while to get me going. I still do it everyday I just put it off until the last possible moment and usually just before bed.

Anyone have some tips to get me excited again? I've still got a lot of baby weight to loose!

Starting Week 4 Round 2! I can't believe how fast the weeks seem to be going now! Next month though I have to start looking into whether I want the Zumba or Turbo fire workout program.

For round two I'm not doing the fit test ever two weeks...so Friday will be the fit test for month 1. I need to start planning a Hip Hops LV1 &2/ BBL hybrid.


Oh and for motivation, I think about that free T-Shirt.

Now my motivation is my halloween costume. My arms and legs are looking good, it's this csection belly that is being stubborn lol But even though I may still have some belly flab I may still wear it. About 3 months ago I wouldn't be able too! So if people want to think oh she shouldn't be wearing that costume, than I guess they can talk away because they don't know how I looked like before!

Hey guys!! Just started round 2 :-D Did anyone else find it a little easier and secretly want to skip to the max intervals? Also I was thinking of a hip hop abs/insanity hybrid. What do you guys think about that? Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Hey!
I'm doing a P90X and Insanity hybrid after doing a round of each. We are only doing the Max workouts with the hybrid. So for 3 days we do P90X and the last three days of the week we do Insanity Max with Max Recovery.

Not sure about a hybrid of Insanity and Hip Hop abs. I can burn about 500 calories on HHA. If you enjoy the two then definitely do it.

nolachick

WOW, ya'll are doing great. i have been slacking on insanity but really need to get back on it.
thnx for the motivation

edorice

We did Insanity Cardio Recovery this morning instead of Max Recovery. My husband did 5 miles at the gym after our P90X workout yesterday, so he was kind of burnt.
