    My fit test wasn't great but it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. But after today's first real workout, I think my abs are on fire and I'm waddling around the office looking like and old woman who lost her cane. Oddly though, looking forward to tomorrow!

    Hahah I feel the SAME way! I am always so sore but its weird-I keep looking forward to the next workout! And I always feel really good after a workout. All those endorphins pay off!

    Hi everyone, I'm on Day 15 now but yesterday I did the two week fit test and I can't believe my progress, take a look.

    Switch Kicks, 69, now 90
    Power Jacks, 42, now 50
    Power Knees, 65, now 80
    Power Jumps, 33, now 36
    Globe Rotations, 8, now 8 (no progress here)
    Suicide Jumps, 12, now 16
    Push Up Jacks, 5 now 16
    Side Obliques, 41, now 54

    I was specifically amazed at the progress I made with the push up jacks (I suck at push ups)

    NICE JOB! The globe rotations are hard to ever go up in, you have to be speeding through and by that time my legs are usually mush. And for real-36 power jumps is GREAT. Those are the hardest for me. I can do more if I forget form (I feel like Tanya looks worse than the guy since she is doing them fast...but thats just me) but if I am doing them 100% correctly I can't do a lot.

    Good results. I can't wait to see what mine will be like!

    Fantastic results! You may have given me the inspiration I needed to keep pushing. Thanks...

    Thanks for asking. I'm on Day 17- Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. My performance could have been a little better, but I'm glad checked-in because I'm encouraged to work harder tomorrow. Day 63, here we come...

    Day 11 for me--just did Cardio Recovery. Have to say it's not my favorite; I feel the same way about it as I do about yoga--slow motion torture! Give me Pure Cardio over this any day!

    Just got done with day 10. I still hate those ski abs. I just feel dead by the time I get to them. But I felt great today. I'm ready for cardio recovery but not those squats. Hope everyone is doing great. can't wait to see our results.

    I like to think I'm skiing down a huge hill whenever I do them, and if I stop skiing, I'll fall? It helps me a little. haha I LOVE those squats. It's such a good burn. I'm excited for our results too..! (but whoever doesn't want to post them, that's perfectly fine too)

    Hahah I have to agree- I HATE cardio recovery! I get all shaky while I am holding those poses, especially when he says to "squeeze your inner thighs together," man it works but I sometimes yell at the screen! Hahah yeah I am a little insane. And Happy-if you LIKE cardio recovery just wait till you do the MAX Recovery-JAKSDGFJADB! It is ridiculous. I am glad that I am still in month one because month two totally gets crazy. I seriously am trying to enjoy every day of month one because when I did Insanity before, I got to month two and it just felt like starting over.

    I think Month one is just to get you fit enough to DO month two. That is where I saw the most results- I mean every day of MAX workouts I could see progress and man it feels good!!!

    Alzina- my thighs def hate ski abs as well. And I lol'd at you, happy, because I also tell myself little tricks to get me to complete the exercises! Maybe I will have to think of falling while skiing to get me to get through those next time! :)



    I just finished day 13, my first time (on this round) of doing Pure Cardio + Cardio Abs. I had to buy a yoga mat for the C-sit position, for some reason my tail bone was really hurting while doing it on the floor but the mat helps. I love the ab workouts, I sometimes want to throw them in to other days just to work more on my abs.

    And I cannot wait to see our results! Keep on digging deeper everyone! :)

    Hi everyone, Day 17 here. Okay I hate to be the one to ask the dreaded weight loss question but here goes..... Have any of you lost anything since you started? I continue to dance around my 2 pound variance day to day. I know I shouldn't care about the scale and I promise as soon as I break that damn plateau I will not get on the scale till Day 63. But until then I'm getting frustrated and annoyed. I'm due to take my measurements on the 22nd and if those numbers don't change then I'm so making an appt with the doctor because this is not normal. And I don't just mean the 17 days on Insanity, I mean the 3 months before that busting my butt at the gym and still dancing around the same 2 DAMN pounds. I will be getting my body fat tested next week so lets just wait and see what it is.

    You guys are all doing great and it makes sticking to this easier now that we are all in this together.
