    I'm super excited! I've had Insanity now for 6 months, and I've only done the fit test and maybe one other dvd from the pack. I'm carving out 9pm everynight from my schedule to do it!

    i am SOOOOO in! I do the insanity dvds here and there but haven't stuck to the schedule. so now i have a reason to! YAY! do any of you have facebook? or is there a way we can comment on each others pages to help motivate each other? i try not to get on the computer too much because then i'm sitting to long because i get sucked in. lol. so i know that when someone posts on my profile, i get an alert on my phone but not when someone posts on a thread.

    current weight: 182.2lbs :-)

    as for my costume...i'm thinking maybe rainbow brite. :-)

    YAY! This is coming together. I've never done insanity for a week straight, this will be interesting!
  • I have a question for you guys that have done Insanity before. . . how do i input it in my exercise diary? I've been logging it as circuit training but i'm not sure if i'm giving myself enough credit or too much credit. I do know that I have never sweated this much in my life. Diggin Deep!

    The only real way to know is by wearing a heart rate monitor. If you don't have one then you just got to ball park it! I always wrote 600 in for mine. But everyone is different when it comes to calories burned.
  • Awesome! Thanks big bunches!
  • I'm starting tomorrow as well! Come on y'all letssss GOOOOOOO!!!

    I am excited and nervous. My sister told me that these DVD's are mad crazy! I am looking forward to it hopefully I can keep up with it.

    I have a Bodybugg and everytime I have done Insanity it has told me different calories burnt. The dvd"s vary and apparently so does my intensity. Even on the same DVD's, it has never been the same number of calories burnt twice. I guess you would have to have a monitor for ANY exercise to truly know what you burn in a day.
  • I just started Insanity on Monday... so I'll be a few days ahead but I'd love to join you guys!

    I just started my second round of Insanity on Sunday, so almost a week in. I took off 6 weeks of exercise because of surgery and am trying to get back to where I was. I'm also combining Insanity with Running and have at least 3 half marathons planned over the next several months. My goal is to maintain a 10 mile long run through winter.

    I'm supposed to do Pure Cardio today but will be running 8 miles tomorrow, so am planning a second day of cardio recovery. I need to skip Saturday's work out too because I'll be traveling. My calves are tender, so backing it down a day of cardio is probably good for me.
