    I'm on week 2 of Insanity...I'm already a little concerned about Recovery Week in the sense of getting in my calorie burn..can anyone give me a heads up on what those workouts (I think it's core/balance?) are like?

    Oh you will burn calories for sure. Recovery sounds easy but with Insanity it is not so easy. It is still hard and still a workout. You don't have to worry about it. Worst case you can go for a jog or something to add on some extra cardio. I don't think you will have to worry about it. Remember that they made the workout this way for a reason. Month 2 is a killer, the workout times double and they are very hard so you need this "recovery". If you have any questions just let me know.

    I've done Insanity and P90x... now combined the both for a hybrid. I love that I'm actually lifting weights this time. I'm on day 11 of the hybrid. The downfall was that not lifting for those 63 days made me real sore the first week of lifting again. Insanity is truly a calorie burner.

    Day 3 of Insanity. This is my second go-round as the first time I didn't make it all the way through. I hope this group can help me to complete the 60 days and that I can help others!
    Cheers,
