    I SO want to do Insanity with my wife but she thinks she can't do it due to her being a bit uncoordinated...would she have issues you think?

    I'm sooooo not graceful or coordinated lol. I cant even do Zumba, that's just a hot mess. But today is my last day of week 6!!! It's very doable!!!

    I'm not a graceful person either, but you do get to know the moves and it can be done. Just make sure you have plenty of room and go slow at first until you get the moves down.

    I have been putting aerobics (high impact) because I didn't know what else to put it as either! I figure it is just a ball park figure, but I get the general idea.

    Hope everyone has had an awesome week!

    When you go to log your exercise put INSANITY in caps and it should come up for you to log!

    Hi everyone,

    I finished my first round of Insanity in June and am currently on month 2 of a P90X/Insanity hybrid. Love it!! I didn't see much movement on the scale, but lost a ton of inches!

    The new video you guys are talking about is Asylum. I haven't done it, but I've heard it's really good too!

    As far as logging, I created each category for each of the videos. If you don't have a heart rate monitor I recommend you invest in one. I got mine at walmart for about $30. I've seen burns ranging from a few hundred to over 1000, and I wouldn't have been able to guess it myself.

    Feel free to add me!!

    For Cardio Recovery I use calisthenics.

    For the rest - I try to take my heart rate during the breaks and then I use the average of that to calculate the calories burned using a formula I found on the the internet.

    Calories Burned = (0.4472 x Height in Inches - 0.05741 x Weight in kg + 0.074 x Age - 20.4022) x Time / 4.184.

    Weight in kg = weight in lbs 8 0.45359237

    I am hoping to invest in a heart rate monitor soon but for now this works for me. I actually created a spreadsheet so all I have to do is plug in the numbers.

    It didn't come up in the logs as INSANITY, I'll just keep doing what I'm going until I get a hrm.

    I just made my own exercise and kind of guessed. i don't own a heart rate monitor either. but in the nutrition guide for insanity it tells you how to calculate your daily calorie intake so even though I do log and put about 500 calories an exercise I try to keep it in the range of the total I calculated from the book.. i'll look up the equation and post it :)

    high fives on the first round of insanity and on to the P90X kick!! :) I was a fan of P90X.. didn't get through the entire thing.. think i might do the 30 day shred after i'm done with this round just to switch it up and try something new, then hop onto P90X after that..

    i noticed taking pictures for a reference is better than tracking the scale!

    calorie calculation:

    655+(4.35 x weight in lbs)+(4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)

    take this total and subtract by 500.. use that number daily to lose weight while doing insanity:)

    I got my workout in but I'm doing Turbo Fire this time around...I found that right now my body can't handle the two intense workouts. Not yet and I was in the mood for something a bit different. :) And it's different, a lot more twisting cause of punches and kicks have to be really careful of my knee, but I'm still getting a good burn and I have to say my back is killing me from all the ab work that gets done. :)
