    kattungen - New to myfitnesspal and I'm starting Insanity today too. Been my 3rd or 4th time starting it, so it'll be great to use this thread to help stay accountable.

    ash15nicole - We're coming for you! We'll keep up to date on this thread and we'll only be a week behind. Lead the way!

    Congrats Stooooo. That is a great accomplishment. I'm sure there were days when you didn't want to do the workout but you just have to push through.

    If you miss a workout it's not the end of the world, just come back and start again the next day.

    There were plenty of days that I didn't want to push play. However I have to say with Insanity there were more days that I did want to push play, then not. Which is surprising for me. With Insanity I actually looked forward to my work out.

    I did the first fitness test yesterday, with some depressing results :p

    Switchkicks: 54
    Power jacks: 26
    Power knees: 60
    Power jumps: 10
    Globe jumps: 6
    Suicide jumps: 6
    Push-up jacks: 4
    Low plank oblique: 41

    My arms are so weak, I can't even do one real push-up, so the push-up jacks killed me! :p

    Cardio power and resistance done this morning. Burned 326 calories. With the workout tomorrow it marks the end of week 3.

    I am going out of town for the weekend then will be gone a couple of days for work so I am treating next week as a flex week (I'm calling it my week 3b). Hoping to get 2 insanity workouts in and then do some running.

    Modify when you have to.

    Plyometric Cardio done, and OMG I am dead.

    Sone 2: 10:13
    Sone 3: 28:23

    I am seriously starting to doubt if I'll ever be able to complete a whole week of Insanity :p

    Good job. The first full workout is the toughest. I was impressed by your heart rate as my max is supposed to be 164 - then I realized your in your early 20's. Oh to have a young heart again. :wink:

    Hey Gang,

    Here are my Fit Test Results

    Day 1 Day 60
    Switch Kick: 50 55
    Power Jacks: 30 50
    Power Knees: 60 95
    Power Jumps: 17 40
    Globe Jumps: 3 7
    Suicide Jumps: 8 13
    Push-Up Jacks: 16 26

    Pretty good overall improvement. Not where I want to be, so after I finish with the 5k training I may come back and do another round of Insanity. Good luck everyone, and I am here if you have any questions.

    Pylo cardio circuit completed this morning. End of week 3. 326 calories burned. What's even better is the scale went down 1.5 lbs this past week. :drinker:

    I don't know if I can really answer your question as I have never had back problems. Insanity involves jumping, squats and twisting so if these moves would normally hurt your husband's back then I would say that insanity is not right for him. He can always try and then just modify the moves if he feels pain.

    Cardio Recovery tomorrow, looking forward to that! :) I know it's more static strength-exercises, but I find that I'm pushing soooo hard on the intervals in the cardio work outs that I'm queesy and dizzy at the end :p

    Pure Cardio completed this morning. Did not have time for cardio abs. Hope to do that tonight (or maybe AB Ripper X). Burned only 318 calories. Feeling like I'm getting a cold so I was not 100% this morning but I pushed myself through it.

    Doing some traveling starting tomorrow so I won't be able to check in with all of you till mid next week.

    Keep at it everyone.
