    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.

    What is is a bodybugg?

    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.

    O.k. so here's my fit test results from Day 1:

    Switch Kicks: 55
    PowerJacks: 20
    Power Knees: 40
    Power Jumps: 15
    Globe Jumps: 4
    Suicide Jumps: 8
    Push Up Jacks: 16
    Low Plank Oblique: 8

    I felt like such a weenie. Next fit test will definately be a ton better. This is my first round of Insanity and I was starting to think I just might be insane for doing it but I'm all in! My husband and I made a commitment to each other Gettin Insane for the next 60 days. I can honestly say I feel really great considering I hurt in places I've never hurt in before and never sweat so much in my entire life. . . craziest thing happened. . . I kinda liked it. : ) The more I sweat the harder I wanna push myself. We completed day 4 this morning and I was so relieved it was a slow day was an awesome surprise . . . kinda lilke hitting the reset button mid-week so we can Bring it tommorrow. Woo Hoo! Can't wait! Let's see some fit test results! :wink:

    Make sure you take your before and after photos. And record all your measurements. You will need those for your free T-shirt! Plus it's a great way to track your weight lose other then the scale.

    And you will definitely see a huge difference over time. Just keep digging deep!

    Here are my starting numbers, which is funny the first round of Insanity before my surgery were about the same. I had ran 7 miles the day before I did my fit test last Sunday.

    Switch kicks 53
    Power jacks 49
    Power knees 88
    Power jumps 26
    Globe jumps 10
    Suicide jumps 15
    Push up jacks 24
    Low obliques 48

    Decided instead of a second recovery day - I'm going to go home and do Insanity Upper Body Strength from the Deluxe Version. I'm so glad I added the Deluxe, they are three of my favorite DVD's.

    I thought about starting Insanity (have it in there on the table). How long with warmup and cooldown is the program? I started day 1 of Ripped in 30 today. Wonder if it'd be too crazy to do them both.. one in a.m, one in p.m. I'd love the shirt from Insanity lol

    Just did my Fit test! Woo! I feel great! I pushed myself HARD! Here are my results:

    Switch Kicks: 128 (or 64 if you do it by set)
    Power Jacks: 63
    Power Knees: 112
    Power Jumps: 53
    Globe Jumps: 13
    Suicide Jumps: 21
    Pushup Jacks: 23
    Low Plank Oblique: 49

    To give you an idea...here are my fit test results from July 2010 and July 2011:

    Switch Kicks: 122 (61) and 123 (61.5)
    Power Jacks: 45 and 57
    Power Knees: 100 and 103
    Power Jumps: 30 and 40
    Globe Jumps: 7 and 10
    Suicide Jumps: 17 and 19
    Pushup Jacks: 12 and 20
    Low Plank Oblique: 28 and 36

    In 2010 I couldn't do even 1 real pushup. By 2011 I could do 10 "real" pushups. I can now do 25 to 30 in a row. :-) It's AMAZING!!!! I am so impressed with how drastically all these workouts have changed my body. Thank you BeachBody.com!! lol. I love turbo fire and I love insanity!

    I agree! At least I know you're checking up though so I have motivation to actually do my workouts.
