    Insanity is what got me from 175 to 120 in 4 months. Like others have said, go your own pace...there is no workout like it. You think you have endurance from running but this literally blows up your lungs...You'll be able to run forever after completing this. Once my doc gives me the green light to train again, this will be added back in to my workouts. Never had obliques until I turned 50, thanks to Shaun T. Great vids. I've been using them off and on since 2010.

    I got back from the gym so now i rest a bit then its Plyometric circuit :sad: , lvl 1 drills down, ski abs, IN !!!!!!!, OUT!!!!, IN!!!! :sad: .
    Come up come up into jabs :smokin: its done, 40 mins of pain and then pleasure :flowerforyou:

    plyometric is just mean!! in.. out... in... *collapse in pool of sweat*

    I agree, that plyometrics (2nd month version) is the hardest one. I've completed all other vids exercises to a T. This one, not so much. It's still a goal, though.

    Has anyone done the Asylum.
    Vertical Plyo - absolute Hell, but awesome.
    There's one called Game Day as well which is just ridiculous.

    Hey Matt - That's awesome you're starting round 2. There's another fit test at the beginning right? Let me know how it goes. I got your friend request so if you want to move to a PM, let me know.

    Everybody - I'll post my fit test results (coming this afternoon) here. If you want to play along (certainly got more responses than I thought I would) I can start a group. Let me know.

    I just started doing Insanity last week. I'm doing Insanity schedule with P90X3 Mass. I'm definitely up for some accountability if you're looking for the same.

    My first fit-test...
    Switch Kicks - 43
    Power Jacks - 33
    Power Knees - 43
    Power Jumps - 13
    Globes - 13
    Suicide Jumps - 1
    Push up Jacks - 17
    Low Plank Obliques - 13

    I just had to rest during the suicide jumps section, and overall this test made me puke.
    On day 3 of my first go-round and it's OK so far - quite a lot of muscle soreness but no joint pain so it's good.

    I found globe jumps are the hardest to improve.
    I have a theory that because you're fitter, you jump higher and further, spend more of the minute in the air and thus have less time for actual reps.

    I have not done a fit test yet, i rotate between plyo circuit, power resistance, and pure cardio, in between those i go for long jogs and walks 10-12 miles, and I also do lifting, Today was my pure cardio day but i may change to fit test and post results. Also you guys have awesome Results when i compare it to Chris and Tanya's WELL DONE!!!!

    I couldnt walk for the first 4 days, but someone on facebook suggested I buy some Magnesium Oil.. It has worked wonders :) Im now on Week 3 of Month 1.

    I have bought some magnesium oil spray to absorb directly in to the problem areas (Calfs mainly) and Magnesium Flakes from Holland and Barrett to add to the bath and soak in.

    Dont let the initial pain put you off, once your body gets used to it, it is a great workout and Im already feeling toning where I have never toned before.

    Good Luck

    MLM - Got your FR. For sure if you're looking for accountability.

    How was your fit test? And how are you feeling after week 1?

    Ahhh, yesterday started doing Insanity for the first time. You know, I'm not a beginner in fitness, working out and all that stuff. When I was reading about how terrible, hard, insane, crazy Insanity is, I had no idea. I just finished Plyometric cardio circuit and I have no idea how hard will be next exercises, but I've to say - Plyo circuit is hard as hell. I couldn't get in pace. And I'm sore, like, EVERYWHERE! But I'm sooooo excited to continue. So everyone who's doing it- good luck and DIG DEEPER :D
