    Hi! I'm doing Insanity right now! I'm posting in another thread too, but hey - the more the merrier, right?

    Today I did Day 5/workout 4 - Pure Cardio. It was good! I feel amazing after these workouts, I don't know how I used to get through the day without them! I just hope I'll be able to keep it up when school starts getting more serious.

    I feel pretty good after the workout too....shame I don't feel so good the morning after!:laugh:

    Great to see new peeps on here!!:happy:

    Did my first Pure Cardio last night, kept expecting a break, everytime I heard him say "take a break" I thought he meant everyone, so I'd stopped only to realise he was talking to individuals :blushing:

    Hi guys,

    Loving this insanity forum....having my asse kicked left and centre....I started a bit late....only now on day 4

    I have to say, I am impressed by the fit test results in this forum......even ashamed to reveal mine.....and I thought I was doing so good. Anyhow here goes:

    switch kicks 66
    power jack 46
    Power knees 79
    Power jumps 34
    Globe jumps 11
    Suicide jumps 13
    Push up jacks 29
    Low plank oblique 35

    Really shocked that there are people out there that are reporting triple digit switch kicks.....I mean by the time I finish....I am completely wasted....kudus to you all, keep it up

    What are you chatting about, you got great results!!

    I'm only on my first week too.
  • Did Cardio Abs for the first time today... sooo much harder than I anticipated! So that completes week 2 for me, pretty excited to do my second fitness test on Monday and see how I have improved so far.

    Ran 12 miles yesterday so skipped Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. I'd planned 10 but ran with a friend that is just beginning running so ran a route she's comfortable with. I hoped for cardio abs today, but my abs are too sore from my run yesterday. Instead I opted for "Awaken the Body" Yoga with Tony Horton - and XStretch from P90X.

    Tomorrow is my 2 week fit test, will be excited to see the results. Will also do Cardio Abs since I missed it yesterday.

    Love reading all of the update, you all are very funny. I finished day 9! Feeling good, stronger and standing a bit straighter and taller.

    About a week before I started Insanity, I joined a gym. Do any of you also belong to a gym, if so, what do you typically do there? How ofter do you go?

    I get a free gym membership. So that is the only reason I have one. But the only time I ever go is to play basketball or something.

    My week 2 Fit Test Results:

    Switch kicks 53 77
    Power jacks 49 56
    Power knees 88 102
    Power jumps 26 40
    Globe jumps 10 13
    Suicide jumps 15 15
    Push up jacks 24 35
    Low obliques 48 62

    These results make me feel much better than my first ones, I basically am at where I ended Round 1 of Insanity in May. I was off all of July from any form of exercise because of major surgery and took it lighter in August. I'm pleased.

    How is everyone doing? I am planning another workout for Monday at noon EST. I am starting a 2 body cleanse tomorrow. So hoping I just crash during my workouts.

    Last night I did the workout I should have done on Saturday, which I took as a rest day as was so tired from a very late night. My hrm went a bit mad, wouldn't go back down on heartbeat, got me worried until I realised it was playing up lol!!

    Would love to join you on your workout but not a good time for me just getting back from the school run, doubt I'd be able to keep up with you anyway!!

    I'm curious what does your body cleanse entail?

    No worries! There is always next time. :glasses:

    And I am doing the beachbody 2 day fast cleanse. Basically I replace powder with food for two days. Here is a link (and hopefully I don't get in trouble for post this. Not sure on the rules here exactly)

    I rocked Plyo Cardio this AM. I track my heart rate each workout and keep track. It's getting lower each workout even though I'm working so much harder and can do each workout w/fewer breaks.

    I love reading everyone's week 2 fit test results. Keep up the hard worl. Way to go mama_monkey on the weight loss, 15 lbs in 2 weeks is amazing.

    I was out late at a concert today and so could only muster up Yoga this Am - will go home at lunch and do pure cardio and cardio abs. Tonight I'm hoping it's cooled down enough I can run a few intervals.

    My lower back is a little achy, it happened last time with Insanity too, hoping maybe to get into a massage this week. My massages really helped last time with the Insanity recovery.

    I did Pure Cardio on my lunch hour and am quite excited that I didn't have to ever take any breaks at all, I worked through everything, even those suicide jumps I hate. My HR average was 10 points higher than when I did this last week. Yeah!

    Wow! That's freaking awesome even Shawn T's minions take breaks. lol Always makes me feel better when I see someone else crawling on the floor tappin out. Can't even imagine making it all the way thru with no breaks. . . You my dear have earned the right to sing the rocky theme song today. :happy:
  • I'm pretty exited at seeing such a dramatic 2 week weight loss but I also know ya lose alot in the first week or two due to water weight n what not. . . but i'll take it! Can't wait to see what the next 2 weeks has in store. . . Those 30 day Pics are gonna be awesome! And if anyone tells you "Oh I can't do Insanity because I'm too big" . . . They're just kidding themselves. I'm a chunky monkey mama moving with the best of them. . . might not look pretty and i might modify ALOT but "the proof is in da puddin!"
