    How are you adding the exercises into your journal?

    There's really no good way to accurately add these workouts into your journal unless you use a HRM while you do them. My wife has a Polar FT4 that she uses when she does Insanity, and it gives her an accurate count of calories burned that she can enter into her diary post-workout. Otherwise, you'll just have to resort to a guess...

    Click 'Community' on the top menu... it'll take you to the Message Boards page. Right above the listing of the different message boards, there's a horixzontal menu... click on settings. Hope that makes sense...

    Awesome burn! I'm seriously considering a HRM so I can see how much I'm burning when I do the workouts!

    So we do fit test on the 26th
    or plyometrics?
    I like to start at the same time with everyone.

    I've been adding Insanity workout to my work out routine. I'm done with my weight lifting sched so I can
    start do insanity full time now.

    I think it's the fit test on Monday.
    I'm just praying my Christmas dinner stays down.

    Hey! I just found this group, but I actually started on 12/19... I am going to post my fit test results later (they are at home... I am currently at work, procrastinating..)

    So I'll be a week ahead, but I'm excited to see the results and have some people to go through it with! :)

    I got tired just from watching max interval plyo video. I think I'm going to either puke or pass out when I start to do that work out.

    I love doing this work out. I always feel like I'm going to die when this workout is over with... but it's an awesome feeling!

    Fit test done! Pretty testing to say the least and I can see why people say it's tough on the knees. Interested to see what awaits me tomorrow - think I'll take a sneaky peak at the plyo worker before I go to sleep.

    Good luck to anyone who's fit testing this evening,

    Yes, definitely tough on the knees! I actually felt a pain on the top of my right knee during my Power Jumps, something I didn;t experience last round. I was definitely favoring it during the rest of the minute. My wofe was counting for me, and she said that I was planting my feet too hard when I was landing... not giving myself much cusion, so I uess that's something I need to work on!
