Week 1 day 3 and I couldn't get out of bed this morning. I will be doing it right after work.
I am an aerobics instructor, I'm trying to find the right balance between my workouts and what I do teaching. I must say....2 days and it's kicking my butt. I'm definately outside of my confort zone which is a god thing.
Yikes! Now I am really scared:noway: I am also on day 3 and will be doing my workout after work. I was already sore yesterday from the fit test and then this morning I am even more sore. I am getting around just very slowly. I think tonights workout will be extremely tough since I am sore. Mostly my back which makes everything difficult.
My back is sore too! Working muscles I didn't realize I had.0 -
Just finished day 3 of week one...wasn't so bad once I warmed up.0

Did pretty good on my second fit test, I will post my numbers later. Some I even beat my fiance hahahahahahaahahah take that you boy.0

Aiight, just finished day...ummm...4 of Recovery Week. It seems that I keep burning more and more everyday--which is awesome, but man...I thought I was suppose to be recovering. LOL Can't wait to weigh in on Saturday for my official weight. On Wednesdays I check just to see where I am and I weighed in at 257! Hopefully on Saturday I will be 257 or lower. That would be awesome.
I am kinda confused about something though. My weight is at a crawl and my inches really don't seem to be melting off either....so why am I getting little? Like I bought a pair of pants a week ago and they fit perfectly, put them on today and I was pulling them up ALL day! Bought a dress about 2 weeks ago, put it on Tuesday and it's almost too big--when I bought it, it fit like a glove. Then you look at my before and afters and it's only an 8lb difference and like a 2inch difference....so why does it look like a big difference? Is anyone else dealing with this too?0 -
Finished Day 4 Cardio Recovery. This is by far the best one yet as there is no cardio!!! I still worked up a sweat but it was great. A little scared about Pure Cardio tomorrow. 55 Minutes YIKES:noway: Hope I can power through and still be able to function the rest of the day LOL.0

Um, your shrinkin butt should stop complaining! lol
Idk, I have the opposite problem. I have no idea if I've lost inches because I have yet to measure myself lol but I've lost 15lbs and my clothes seem to fit the same..sigh. I wish I had your issue! 0 -
Recovery Week my a#*!!!!!!! I am recovering cardio wise, but my legs are toast!!! I am really starting to be concerned about completing the next 4 weeks. My legs are completely burnt out. Jello to say it another way!!! BUt it's all good!!! Almost 5 WEEKS OF INSANITY DONE!!!!!!! I still can't believe I made it this far.
To all of the newbies to the thread...WELCOME!!!!! And congrats on your journey!!! Insanity is....well...INSANE!!! But awesome too!!!
I saw some pretty nice numbers on your fit tests. Wait till your second test- it's great to see the improvement.
Two more days left in Recovery Week (soon to be 1!!!) and then a day off before hell begins!!! Catch up with all of you later!!! Keep up the great work!!!0 -
Day 5 Done! All I can say is holy smokes. Insanity is kicking my butt.
One thing I must work on it my calorie intake. I'm not eatin nearly enough. I have to come up with a better plan.0 -

I had to increase my calories as well I was eating 1500 but after 3 weeks I could barely function. Now I'm at 1700 seemed to make a difference.0 -
BflSaberfan ~ Thanks for the tip.
I'm at 1400 and it's definately not working for me. I'm upping it today. I went shopping last night looking for ways to add healthy calories, so easy to add junk.

It really is, once you realize, I have an extra 300 calories to eat today its really hard to make that 300 really count because a snack sounds so much better lol0 -

Tomorrow is a different story, but today damn it I've been playing tag for 3 hrs with a bunch of elementary school children and that's enough exercise for anyone. That is all....good night. LOL0

hahahaha this is awesome. I think I will need more honesty moments from you in the future, it made me smile!0 -
My honesty moment for the day is DON'T TRY TO TALK WHILE DOING INSANITY. It doesn't work. At all.
I should have known-I mean damn, I can barely breathe while doing it as it is-but today I made the mistake of trying to talk. My dad is in town visiting me and was watching me do insanity before I took him to the Hoover Dam. In one way I was excited because he kept complimenting my dedication to working out. I mean it IS dedication, and like today-I was HUNGOVER and got up early to finish Insanity before we went to tour the dam and what not. But last night I drank about 5 beers and was wastey faced, and got up feeling horrible, and did insanity. So I felt good with the compliments, but then I am trying to tell him like "Oh this is only the warm up, just wait for the real part," and he starts asking questions. Within 20 more seconds I just was out of breathe and speaking one word at a time.
He started laughing and said "ok, no more talking for you, just more breathing...I'll leave you alone now."
And it was only the warm up yet I was dying. The warm up in power and resistance kicks my *kitten* every time! All the jumping, geeez.0 -
Jatie--wastey faced...hi-larious! I love your honesty moment too.
Ok, finished Insanity Recovery Week. Whew! Woulda lost 3lbs this wk but went to Mexican Restaurant last night. Dagblastit.
I'm 1lb away from losing 30lbs and I swear its not coming off fast enough! LOL
Anywho--hope everyone is having a great, insane week.0 -
So hard to stay focus and eat healthy at a Mexican Restaurant ....there is always a bowl of chips and salsa singing your name.
I finished my first week...Monday starts Week 2. I'm excited and nervous.0 -

This is exactly why I am attempting to have shirts printed up that say My Warm Up Is > Than Your Workout! with the Insanity logo underneath it. (Just waiting for compliance approval) Keep up the good work!! Impressive doing the work out while hungover!0 -

LOL! I would definitely buy that shirt!!! Let me know if you get it approved.
And thanks! I knew I would be mad if I didn't do it, and I knew I would feel 10 times better after I worked out. Thats the problem-if I am hungover, I know that if I sweat it out I feel a LOT better, but getting through a workout like Insanity when you are hungover = no fun.0 -
Here is what they would look like. It's a performance T, so they would be around $25.00, but I am also looking at just doing a regular T for around $12.95.

I'd definitely buy one! Especially since I can't get the regular insanity shirt since I bought mine used :-\
Soo, week 3 is done! One more week left in month 1 Although I'm not sure how happy I am about this seeing as it means I'm that much closer to month 2 which is gonna kill me lol. 0 -
Hey Everyone!!!
I have read through all the posts and sounds like you are all having such success!!! I have 1 more day until I finish week 3 of round 1 ....I am LOVING my results so far too....As of last monday I have lost 4 pounds (monday is next weigh in) and I haven`t done my inches yet at the end of 4 weeks I was going to, but I can tell you I have definitely lost some inches!

Ok, so for those of you not on my friends list, a little explanation....this upcoming week is going to be alittle messed up for me. My biggest problem: I am working Friday from 9 am till Saturday at 1 am (working both jobs back to back). So I needed to take Friday off. So I figured I would tweak the Insanity schedult to fit mine :grumble:
So instead of doing Day 6 of Recovery Week, I instead did my Fit Test tonight. I will do Mondays Workout tomorrow, and procede through Thursday. Friday will be a rest day, and I will finish Week 6 as normal on Saturday, putting me back on track to finish out like normal (providing nothing else meeses it up :laugh: ). So anyways....here are my Day 36 (actually Day 34) Fit Test results and new measurements- % increase is from day 1 to current day)

HI Everyone-
Had fun reading your posts and thought I would join in. I have just finished week 2 of Insanity and am ready for a day off! I am liking it, but man does it work me over. I am finally able to do the warm-up without dying.Gotta say that Shaum T is a nice change after 90 days of Tony Horton

Great Job Skolls! That's def kick *kitten*.
Jatie--I want a shirt that says "wastey faced" on it. :drinker: hahahahahahaha
Hi to all the newcomers. I'm glad you guys are jumping on board.
Ok so today is my rest day and I have got to tell you....I am so nervous about tomorrow it's giving me gas. :sick: TMI, I know, but why lie about it? Do you guys realize that the first day of week 6 is 90 minutes long???? The 30min FT and THEN the workout of 60min. WTF was I thinking when I decided to do this crap?! :grumble:
It's good. It's good. It'll be fine. It'll be harsh at first but by the end of the week it will be fine....right? :huh:0
