    I got Insanity yesterday, gonna start it today. Very excited to see what the next 60 days bring.

    I know I should do the fit test but should I do a workout, too today?

    The fit test wipes you out, that's for sure! It's a workout in itself, so I wouldn't do another Insanity workout in the same day. Maybe if you REALLY feel up to it, do something a little different at a separate time of day, like going for a run or something. That's just me though :)

    9-2-11: Day 5 - Pure Cardio & Cardio Ab

    I am super excited to get home today and rock out day 5. Has anyone done this one yet? ...just noticed it is 55 minutes! YIKES! I may need to keep a mop handy!! I went out last night and bought a really great mat since I am doing this in the garage. Yes, a garage in August/September in FLORIDA!!!! LOL but I put in a high velocity fan too :)

    Happy to see so far that even though I am getting sore....I am not in pain. It has not irritated my bad knee at all. Which I can only guess is because I am watching my form. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!

    Will post before pictures if I can figure out how???

    Wow! You guys are awesome. . . see some sweating phenoms out there. . . can't thank ya'll enough this extra support helps keep us working hard just knowing other people are doing the same exact thing. I wouldn't say it's starting to get easier but it is definately starting to wear on me . . . in a good way. I was starting to get discouraged haven't seen the scale move in a few days and this morning BAM! <1.3lbs> Woo Hoo! I'll take it. . . Well about it hit day 6 and loving it! :happy: Have an awesome day guys n dig deep!

    Hi all! I do insanity late at night after my crazy work days, so I totally didn't write my fit test numbers.... Should I do the fit test over? lol I'm proud of everyone, does everyone else feel stronger and have more energy throughout the day because of the workout?

    Writing your test results aren't a must type thing. But it is fun to look back on when you finish the program. Or later in the year to see how much you improved. So as far as do it over, that is completely your call.Depends how bad you want to compare.

    I just finished my first week on Insanity and I'm already starting to see some results. Ran a 5k this morning and beat my personal best time, which I think is due to all the intense cardio I've been doing over the past week.

    Yes be careful with the power jumps! I have some back problems myself. And the one night I was doing power jumps, felt a pain. Well I decided to tough it out and keep going instead of just stopping my workoiut.Well I had some seriously back pain for like 2 weeks.
