Are You Insane???

road2peachtree

So tomorrow morning I start my 60 day Insanity journey. Anyone want to join me?

MaysMom

Wow! Good luck to you... I looked into it briefly. No way I am able to do that , YET. After about 50 lbs more, then I think I'll give it a go. When you earn your shirt, post some pics for us!

I'll do it with ya! I just finished Week 1 and start Week 2 tomorrow. It is INTENSE but I love that. It can max out your heart rate just during the warm-up (at least mine). Good luck and I look forward to seeing your posts.

I start mine soon too, whenever the dvd comes!

I am officially starting the program tomorrow too!
I took my before photos tonight and am ready to power it up for the next 60 days!
My goal is to see some definition in my abs and drop about 5-8% bodyfat.

Bring it on! I keep you posted!

road2peachtree

Wow...a lot of us are insane eh? LOL How's everyone doing so far?

So far so good for me. I have to say that I absolutely love the intensity. I mean, yes, it sucks when I can't breath or when sweat is like pouring in my eyes but when it's over I'm like "wow! where'd the time go?" I haven't been super duper soar, but some moves I have to modify because my *kitten* is just too big to be doing some of that stuff (hopefully not for long). hahahahaha

Idon37, I know what you mean about the warm up...it's murder! lol Even my 10 yr old needs to take a break and he plays sports like they are going out of style. hahahahaha

How do you earn a shirt?

To earn a shirt you send beachbody your before and after pics with your proof of purchase or a pic with the Insanity set in the pic. I can't wait to get mine!
Did Plyometric Cardio Circuit today. Great workout but Ughh! The push-up sets are killer!!! How's everyone else doing?

road2peachtree

Day 4 down. Gotta be honest...not a huge fan of the Cardio Recovery. All that stretching and what not...not my idea of fun. But hey--I'm down 4 days...2 days left this week. Ready to sweat it out!

Question: Do you guys weigh in or re-measure at the end of the week? My weigh in day is Saturday anyway so I'll be hopping on the scale regardless.

No one joined in on my thread, so if you don't mind, I'll jump in with yours. Day 4 down also. Cardio Recovery was interesting. Lots of stretches and yoga...interesting!!! I still burned 329 calories (according to the HRM). Looking forward to Day 5 and beating myself up again....wait...did I just say that??????

And to answer your question...I weigh myself everyday (I know...I know...) But I plan on remeasuring myself on Day 15 before my next Fit Test. I would like to see a difference by then.

I started filling out the form for my t-shirt. Taking my "before" pictures tonight. I figure whats 4 days as opposed to my starting date. I haven't lost anything yet!!! When I get them loaded up, I'll post them up so you all can laugh at me :laugh:

Hope the rest of you are doing good. Keep up the good work!!!

Skolls081102

Oh dear lord, I can't believe I'm posting these...but here ya go. Now remember, these were taken tonight, after I have already lost 56 pounds...so I used to be alot fatter!!!

But these are going to be my before INSANITY pictures. Hopefully I make it through all 63 days...I want my shirt!!!




Well, there they are. Definitley still have a belly, but it's alot smaller than it used to be!!! :happy:

Im in the middle of week three and love it. Doing insanity has helped my cardio so much. Three weeks ago I had a hard time running 3 miles and now I can run 3 without feeling like I'm dieing.

road2peachtree

So Day 5 down! I didn't sleep all that well last night (pollen and such) so I think I did the workout at about 75% today. That sucks because I was so ready to get it in last night. I think I'll do it again this afternoon when I can shake off the ickyness. I tried doing the Insane Abs after the Pure Cardio, but when he went into the 6 inches I rolled up my mat and sat down. LOL Abs are so friggin hard for me and I don't know why :grumble: . Hopefully it will get easier.

skolls081102: dude that's awesome! Congrats on your 56lb loss. You'll be like those people on the commercials in no time Your after pic will be ripped and stuff. I too took my before pics but uh....I'm not crazy enough to post them here----just yet. LOL I'm anxious to see what my loss will be, if any. I'm hoping to bust through the 260's.

Linsey4u2: So Insanity has made it easier for you to run longer? That's awesome to hear because I'm running (well...running and walking lol) a 10k in July and I want to be able to run 3+ miles without feeling like my lung is collapsing.

skolls... you look good!! Even if you do still have a belly! Be proud of that weight you've already lost!! :-D

Skolls081102

Thanks!!! I still think I look bad- that belly is still rather large!!!! But it's better than it was. So thanks again!!!

Day 5- Pure Cardio in the bag!!! That was rough. It's bad when Shaun T is taking breaks!!! But I made it through. One more day then a rest day....woo hoo!!!!! Can't believe I made it a week!!! Keep up the great work everyone!!!

road2peachtree

Just finished up day 6. Gotta be honest and say that I totally felt different doing Plyo this morning. I was able to do stuff today that I wasn't able to do on the first day. That kicks *kitten*! I still have to modify some stuff (belly and boobs getting in the way) but I'm still getting it in.

How's everyone else hanging on?

OH! Measured this am and I went from 267 to 264lbs and 48in waist to 47, hips 51 to 49.5, and I can't remember my thigh measurements, but it's dropping so that's fabulous!

Skolls081102

Day 6 down. A little easier than the first time. And I was able to finish more of the exercises...although I didn;t come anywhere close to finishing all. But still amazing the difference from 5 days ago. It's crazy what you can make your body do!!!

Kinda glad tomorrow is an off day. I could definitley use it. But it will feel weird not doing Insanity. I'm sure I'll be more thankful come Monday!!!

Keep up the great work. Week 1 down, 8 more to go!!!

cangel81603

I just finished week 1 day 6 today. I've done some of the workouts here and there before but I promised myself to start and finish the whole thing this time and so far I have stuck to it. I sooo want the t-shirt too..lol. Can't wait to post before and after pics and I look forward to seeing yours too:)

linsey4u2

Keep up the good work everyone! Starting week four and feel great just getting to the point that I can do the whole workout without being dead meat, month 2 im sure is going to be hard. I will keep you guys posted on how bad.

road2peachtree

Yup...I'm insane. LOL I'm crazy as hell because I actually did Day 7. I was able to do more than before, however, the Cardio Power is a bit tough on me due to excess boobage and belly. All that jumping and push-upping is just a big much for me and my knees. But hey, pulled through it and made sure to take breaks when they were needed. It helps to see the people in the video get tired too LOL

Hope ya'll are doing great! Day 8 tomorrow. Game face on--grrrrrrrrrrrr.

road2peachtree

Well, well, well...day 8 is a wrap. Ooooohhhh yeeeeeeaaaaahhhh! Pure Cardio--felt good but wow. Lol

Skolls081102

Day 1 & 2 of week 2 in the bag. Day 3 today (in about an hour). I tried to do it yesterday early morning, and that was a mistake. Suffered bad through the whole thing. Won't make that mistake again!!!

road2peachtree

LOL @ Skolls--early mornings can be brutal. I did it early a.m. today and I swear I need a do over. hahahahaha

Aiight, so Day 9 down. 3 more days and week 2 is in the bag. whew! Aside from this morning, I felt like I could do it and was ready to jump in and getter done. This morning though, I just...I had to stop and literally yell at myself for not pushing hard enough. I may go home and do it again.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!! Seriously????? I'm sitting on the couch today, staring at the Insanity box, saying to myself "Good lord, I do not feel like getting off the couch...screw this!!!! I'm not doing it today!!!" Then I said to myself "Get up jack *kitten*!!!! You started this- you're finishing it!!!" I felt beat through the workout till the end, and all of a sudden felt energized! Not my best performance by far but Day 3 of Week 2 down!!! 3 more to go!!! I still had a good calorie burn. I may try to do tomorrow in the early am again. It's the Cardio Recovery so at least i won't be killing myself at 7 am. Awesome job everyone!!! Keep it up!!!

cangel81603

I wasn't in the mood to work out today either but I put that dvd in anyway.(week 2 day3) I didn't give it my all but I did pretty damn good..lol. Glad tomorrow is recovery but im sure ill find alil something extra to do:)

Skolls081102

Day 4 Week 2 down. It was nice to have the recovery day today. My lower back is bothering me quite a bit. Actually, I'm sitting on the couch typing this with an ice pack on my back. Didn't burn as many calories this time, but still a nice start to my day. I decided since it was the recovery day, that I would get up early and start my day with it. It was nice. Nice stretching, and yoga...felt pretty good. So off to the rest of my day....work....YAY!!! Catch up with you all later.

Oh yeah....2 more days this week (although I'm scared as hell of Cardio Abs!!!!) But I'm really looking forward to Mondays Fit Test (and then I'm remeasuring myself- I hope there is at least a little change!!!)

road2peachtree

Yea...sooooo....I hate the Cardio Recovery. The last time I did it I spent the day heat padding my friggin back. So this morning I took a little detour and worked out with Jackie Warner and some weights. I have to say, I was able to do waaaaaaaaay more a lot easier than this morning than I EVER was prior to starting Insanity. I was barely out of breath. Even the abs portion was not too bad. Not saying I didn't work it, but it was a lot easier.

Ok so tomorrow is back on the Insanity train. Ugh. I don't think I'm ready. LOL I can't wait to see what my 30 day pictures are going to look like. Hopefully I'll see a difference....
