    i would love to start. i have the videos, and i plan on starting soon, so yes ill try it, does anyone know about how many calories u burn while doing the videos? or how i can track it on this site?

    Get a heart rate monitor. It'd be way better than using a calculator. Otherwise, I have no idea. But glad you can do it!

    I did insanity twice as weel as asylum once. I lost 25 pounds with insanity the second time because I ate better than the first time I did it :-)
    I LOVED them both! I'm thinking about doing asylum again on the first and incorporating it with weight lifting. :-) good luck!

    I'm starting August 1st as well. I did the first month last November, then let work interfere with completing the second month, so I'd really like to finish the whole program. I think I'll start with the second week of the program, though, because I don't enjoy doing the fit test; I get a lot of anxiety about too much evaluation and since I'm already tracking food, exercise, weight, and measurements here, I really don't want to add any more. I'll be doing Insanity in addition to biking to work (which I've been doing since March), so I'm going to need all the motivation I can get!

    I have been trying to do the whole 60 days of insanity but end up stopping cuz I don't have time some days cuz of my 1.5 year old baby girl. But I am so ready to actually do it this time. I need some motivation too. This shall be fun. :)

    Since I want Saturday to be my rest day, I got started on Insanity today. I subbed Pure Cardio for the Fit Test but will follow the rest of week 1's schedule. The workout felt really great; this was the first time I've done it with a heart monitor and I got a solid calorie burn out of it. Good luck to all those starting tomorrow!

    Nope, not girls only. You won't give up.. we have a support group! Feel free to join the challenge. Before and after pics aren't necessary, so if you don't want to post them by the time Insanity is over, it's no problem. Glad to have you on the challenge!

    I started today too!! Did the fit test a few hours ago. I have "started" Insanity and few times and have never really gotten past the first week. So I am hoping I can finally do it this time! Bring on the Plyo! Good luck everyone!

    I just completed day 37 of Insanity and it is no joke, but I actually love it. The max training very tough! Way more intense than month 1, but I'm in if it's Ok that I'm a little further!! You for sure want to get a heart rate monitor because you will burn waaaaaay more calories than MFP says! :bigsmile:
