Anyone starting Insanity this week?

Pure Cardio takes about 40 minutes I believe. It was my first week so I only had Pure Cardio scheduled. I think I am scheduled to do Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs this week. My workouts are going well, it's the food I'm struggling with. I gained 2 lbs over the weekend and I'm feeling absolutely horrible about it. I'm trying not to pay too much attention to the scale and concentrate on the changes in my body. I tend to bulk up easily so I don't want to get discouraged. Maybe I'll weigh myself at the halfway mark.

I did Pure Cardio this morning, asI said, I am unable to follow the calendar, just the order. It was pretty tough. I look forward to the time whenI feel like I am really giving it all I can. As I go on, I feel more confident that I am doing things right. I think that learning the moves is part of the struggle, then pushing yourself to do more and more. I too, gained over the weekend, its constant with me! Two steps forwar each week, then one step back. This weekend we actually had out of state company and I gained 7 pounds from Sat to Monday!I know I really didnt gain that! It was all the poor eating and too much drinking! By this morning I was back down to only having 4.5 extra pounds, worked out hard yesterday, ate well, and dranka TON of water! I hope it will fal off quick. During the week, I plan doing the elliptical Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, Insanity Monday, Wed, and Friday evenings, Insanity Tues and Thurs mornings and walk during my daughters softball practice Tues and Thurs evenings. I have been trying to work out at least an hour or more a day for the last 3 months and it feels great! I may not be able to stick to Insanity 6 days a week, but plan to push myself to get at least 5 in. The weekends are always so hectic, that there will be times I am unale to exercise at all. Well, that was just a lot of thinking out loud! Anyway, good luck to all with Insnity, lets try to keep each other motivated!
BTW- I will try to get a picture soon, Im lazy about stuff like that!

Did my first fit test last night! So excited to get started! Just completed P90X and ready to get these last 10 lbs off!

I did pure cardio twice yesterday, in the morning before work and again in the evening. I was not planning to be home in the evening, but it ended up that I was. I recieved my Polar FT4 yesterday and wanted to try it out. I ended up burning 60 more calories than MFP estimated using circuit training. This morning, I tried it while on the elliptical and MFP overestimated my calories burned by 13. I am so glad that I got that, so now I can be more accurate in the calories I eat back. I look forwar to being able to have Insanity sessions where I can really max out and burn a lot more. Im still taking a lot of breaks, although not for long at all and I try to always stay moving, even when I have to stop to catch my breath. Tonight, its back to plyo cardio circuit, ugh! But it feels so good once its done. I am already starting to feel my body getting stronger.

Hi everyone,

I had a horrible snacking day yesterday, so really pushed myself when I was doing Pure Cardio yesterday. I was so pumped and so mad at the 400 snack calories I ate that I also did Cardio Abs. I ended up burning close to 1000 calories!!! And, this morning I feel I have so much energy, it's awesome! So far today's snacks haven't been bad, but it's not 3pm yet so we'll see how I do. I'm going to try and drink more water while at work so I don't have the cravings for bad snacks. I also packed my lunch today so I'm hoping that will help too. I think I have plyo cardio circuit today, so I'm going to try and give it my best today too. I did weigh myself this morning, although I told myself I shouldn't. The scale shows I gained 4 lbs in the last few days. That can't be right, right? I can't let it discourage me. That's what happened to me back in January and that's why I didn't complete the full 60 days of Insanity. I am determined to keep going.

On a good note, my size 8 pants fit me a tad bit loose around the waist today so that's a good sign. I need my Mommy Tummy to go away and never return!!!!

Have a great day everyone, stay on track!!!

I just started Insanity after doing P90X for months and months. I needed to bump it up a little bit. Does anyone else feel like they hate Insanity more than anything else in the world? Because I'm pretty sure I do. I'm really trying to convince myself that I can do 60 days. P90x was SO much easier!

It's one of those things that I hate and never look forward to doing, but feel so good after its done. I tell myself, YES, I DID IT! I am trying to push myself now in the second week, but it's still HARD! Good luck!

Started round two of Insanity 4/20. Feeling great so far. Can anyone tell me anything about asylum? I've been hearing a bunch about the program but has anyone tried it? More intense? Is it going to kill me? I was thinking about doing that after I'm done with this round.

Starting round 2 of Insanity on May 2nd, so that I can move on to Asylum when I complete it. I have heard only good things about Asylum. Imagine doing Insanity with some weight training thrown in for good measure. CRAZY!!!

Ask your Beachbody coach if they can send you any information on Insanity.

I've felt the same way :blushing: I got done with P90X on April 2. Then completed 2 weeks of insanity. My knees started hurting and then I got sick so I have not been back yet. I think about it every day but I am scared. I'm on my first week of Chalean Extrem combined with a half marathon training program. My goal is to complete the 60days but I am going to wait until October to do it.

I didn't get the chance to work out yesterday so I doubled up today. Not sure if I should do that, but I did. Had a great workout and looking forward to tomorrow.
