    Asylum is kicking my butt LoL. But I'm persevering through it - I really enjoyed the strength workout and back to core.
    I was wondering why the first of only 2 rest days was so soon in the program - I am now convinced it is so you don't cry after doing vertical plyo the first time... 1 week down 3 more to go!

    I just crawled out of the shower after doing Plyometric Cardio Circuit... Omg... I did take tons of breaks, I am hardly counting the last circuit as 'done' as I seriously couldn't keep up, but gosh I feel amazing right now. Had a lovely dinner and now I feel like pure bliss. Still shaking a little :D

    I'm the same... I can't keep up towards the end of the workout and I take breaks, and I can't do tricep dips at all. But that doesn't matter, because I'm improving and I commit all my effort to the workout.

    If Insanity was only for folks who are as fit as the ripped guys & girls on the DVD it wouldn't sell much.

    Work. Sweat. Take breaks. Work & sweat some more. As long as you're taking breaks when you need to rather than wussing out then you're going to get benefit.

    I am still here despite getting a flu and my hay fever kicking off, I have improved a lot and can now almost go through the whole warm up without breaking. Any 1 here can go through it without stopping but had problems before like to catch your breath and a bit of pain relief. Be honest.

    100% boss. When I first did it, the warm up kicked me senseless, I still think it's the hardest part of the workout, because it's 11 minutes none stop, continuously increasing in pace.
    Firs time I did it without stopping, got to the end of the rd round of high knees and thought I was Batman!

    Vertical plyo is so tough, but it & strength are my 2 favourites.

    Hi y'all. I just started Insanity last week. I've taken a few more rest days than the program calls for - especially over the holiday last weekend.

    All in all, I LOVE Insanity!! I've been working out at the gym for the last couple of years (with minimal results) and oftentimes, I'd leave wondering if I'd done enough, worked hard enough, pushed myself enough. With Insanity, these questions NEVER cross my mind, lol! I feel like I accomplish more in 40 min of Insanity than I used to in 1.5 - 2 hours at the gym. It's like I have a personal trainer!

    Those first few sessions - phew! I thought I was dying! Surprisingly, the last couple of workouts have been much easier, I'm taking less breaks, pushing myself just a tiny bit harder, digging deeper.

    I'd love to get some friends that are also doing Insanity so we can all talk about how great it is! :D

    Last night was Plyo Cardio Circuit and Cardio Power and Resistance this morning.
    Not the best idea to do one at 8pm and the other at 6pm, not enough time for recovery.

    I started may 18 2014 just about one and half weeks left.. It has been awesome.. Yes it is hard and I am completely drained exp after douibles day.. But I push play every day.. Before this I did T25 alpha, beta and gamma, p90x3 and 21day fix. None of them gave me results like this. I gained a lot of muscle on the others but this one I have lost pounds and inches.. I plan to repeat month two when I am done to get it in before vacation in August.. I will take t25 with me while I do vacation because I acan always find 25 minutes in my day. Feel free to add me if yor are still wanting partners for accountiblility.

    I just started week 3. I have a long way to go to get the inch loss and weight loss I'm looking for, but I have to say that of all the other workout programs that I have done before, this one is leaving me feeling good with a sense of accomplishment at the end of each workout session. I cannot keep up and do as fast as they can in the videos, but this week so far I can do without stopping before water breaks, and my body feels different....I feel like I sit and stand straighter and always trying to keep my core tight throughout the day...I actually look forward to my workouts each day! :) Anyone can feel free to add me. Thanks

    I'm still here, getting towards the end of month 1.
    I'm more than half a stone down and have lost a couple of inches round my waist.
