Hi! My name is Jeannie. I am going to start Insanity April 1 or 2, depending when I get to Texas. I will definitely need encouragement. That workout has definitely earned it name. Any advice for me?

    Hey Jeannie. This is m second round of insanity and it feels like the first. My advice to you would be take it slow. Don't over do it. Go at your own pace and keep your form. Don't try to go as fast as them you'll eventually be able to speed up once you get the moves down and your mind is focused. Take it day by day. You'll see great results. Good luck!

    I started Insanity yesterday for the second time. I did it for a couple of weeks last spring, but I wasn't able to finish due to my summer job. I found some links to the videos online, so I decided to start again. I'm soooo sore. I literally cannot walk downstairs.

    Jeannie, my only advice to you is to keep going. Don't let being sore or tired stop you. It's actually really fun. I love Insanity. It is really intense, but you just do it at your own pace. Right now, I'm having to sit out a lot more than I'd like, but I'm definitely making progress since my muscles hurt. So yeah, just keep going. You won't like Shaun T at first, but he's a cool dude.

    If anyone who is further into Insanity has some advice or wants to support/motivate, I'd love to hear it!

    I am starting Insanity the 2nd round today, scheduled to do my fittest.
    I attempted to do a 2nd round a couple months ago but school got in the way and I had a hard time juggling. I am determined to get it done this time because it is my favorite go to program. I love how it makes me feel, and although I didn't see huge changes on the scale I seen it in measurements and just endurance. My goal is to complete the 2nd round finally and lose some bodyfat in the process. I've done it before and I can do it again, I just can't let my mind beat me.

    Goodluck to all.

    Hi everyone - I am starting week 3 of my first round of Insanity today. I haven't done it before, but for those who are sore are you drinking/eating anything for recovery after you workout (they say it should ideally be within 30 minutes, but no later than 60 minutes after you workout to have a benefit)? I drink a small glass of chocolate milk (1%) after I workout and it seems to help me.

    I really love this program - it is fun and challenging, but makes you feel great once you complete each workout

    Good luck everyone!

    Deb
