starting INSANITY

ShaeDetermined

HI!

I am looking to start the insanity workout this Sunday, May 1st, and I am looking to join/start an "insanity support group"

The workout is intense, and I figure I'd be able to stick to it better if other people were doing it at the same time and sharing their experiences.

Anyone? Anyone?

:happy: I know I already messaged you but I figured that I'd let other's know that I'm IN and I CAN'T WAIT!!! :happy: I hope to see more of you getting into the challenge because together we can beat "Insanity"!! :happy:

I'm thinking about doing this as well. The days in May work out perfectly with the program. Count me in.

I am starting week 3 this week coming up. I LOVE it! I got a watch with a heart rate monitor & calorie counter at Walmart for $30 and the LEAST amount of calories i burned was 456 and I think that was due to me trying to figure out the watch rather than focusing on the workout! I LOVE it and I'm usually dripping by the time I stretch. My calves were REALLY sore 2 days after I did my first workout but I worked through it and became lose once I got warmed up. I seriously look forward to it pretty much every day! On the days that I don't really feel like it, I get into it right after I start working out, I like to compete with myself and try to see how many calories I can burn haha.

I want to start it too. I did 4 days but stopped. Are you guys doing the Fitness test today and tomorrow doing the second cd?

Stooooo

The wife and I will be taking our Day 1 pictures and measurements tonight. Start with the fit test tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

Just did my Plyo/Cardio circuit, 621 calories later! LOVE it! Stoooo I should probably take before pictures even though i'm starting week 3, I'm going to get a tape measure as well to take measurements.

How often do you take measurements?? I am one of those people that isn't very good at being patient but I know I'll just get discouraged if I do it every day!

Good Luck everyone!!!

I just started on 5-2-11. I'm ther with you.

the warmup was the hardest thing for me to get use to... i figured a warmup would be easy... not with insanity!!! i'm finally able to make it through the whole warmup! GOOD LUCK!

Stooooo

Day 2 done!!!! WOW!!!!

ShaeDetermined

U guys are amazing! Great job everyone!
(still unsure where tigger has disappeared to though)

I'm only on day 4 of insanity and so far so good (i've kinda learned to deal with the fire raging in my quads)...
the only problem i seem to have is the stretching.
anyone out there get confused with the stretch moves? I follow the entire workout just fine but the stretching, I just cant seem to get it.
That odd???
Any tips?

My internet has been down the last few days at home, it should be fixed by the time I get home tonight. I'm doing to workouts I'll post everything when I get home. (I didnt forget and I'm sorry I havnt been able to post my stats yet) I hope everyone is doing well!! I also just added the MFP APP to my phone so this wont happen again! Once again, soo sorry for disappearing for the last few days!!

Hi,
I just started Insanity on 5/2/11 and I'm glad to see other people have started around the same time. Within the first 10 minutes of starting the workouts I get the "OMG I CAN'T DO THIS" feeling, but I just push through and get it done. I can already tell my leg muscles are starting to become more defined again and it's only day 3. It hurts, but it's worth it. WE CAN DO THIS!! :happy:
