    Take one day at a time,do as much as YOU can do! Take as many breaks as you need to.It is tough but it is only 2 months....so keep going even when you think you can't!Take pics...they are so much better than the scale in seeing your progress.EAT,EAT,EAT!!!! You need to fule your body when doing this kind of program!If you don't eat you wont see the weight come off!!! Hope this helps you!!:smile:

    Woo! I just started Insanity too. Had my butt kicked today, haha... I really have to modify a lot of the moves right now, but as long as I keep moving and break when I need to, should be ok.
    Good Luck, I hope to hear about your progress!

    I started Insanity on Sunday of last week. Been kicking my butt lately but today went really well :)
    Let's keep it up !
  • Just keep with it. Ive only been doing it a week and seeing the improvements in what I can do already!! Flexibility wise the change is crazy...!! Ive also NEVER been able to do a proper push up in my life and can do 8 after a week!! Really pleased with the results...you just need to keep doing what you can!! :happy:
  • Just started today with the Fit Test!! Wish me luck!!! My husband and I both are going to try and do it. We both have been working really hard the past 4.5 months to lose weight. I felt like it was time for a change. I have been doing only cardio these past few months... but said when I hit a particular weight goal I would start some body weight type strength/cardio interval training. Hoping to start to tone up while I continue to lose! Plus I still play sports so I would love to see some improvements in that area too! Felt like Insanity was the best choice for me! We will see!! I am a little wary of the calorie recommendations though... it is significantly more than I have been eating. But I am going to go with it. We did our before pictures and measurements last night!! 1 Day Down- 59 to go!!
  • Good luck!!

    I just started Insanity today also, and my husband has decided to join me. I just finished ChaLean Extreme, but this is his first workout program. It would be a huge accomplishment if I can get him to complete the program with me.
  • How did you find your first insanity workout?

    I have done insanity before for about 3 weeks. You will be in pain for the first week. Guaranteed!!...lol... However, the pain goes away quickly as long as you workout everyday and push yourself. I had to stop due to having Shoulder Surgery, however I'm about to be released from light duty, so I will be starting insanity back soon. I will also tell you that from the first time I did my trial numbers to the second time I tried, my numbers greatly increased. Insanity does work. It will be a tough 63 days, but it is well worth it!!!

    I am on day 2. Wow! I looked through the videos before I started this program, but it is harder than I expected. I couldn't keep up with them the whole time. I slowed down a little but didn't stop. That is all I ask of myself... push as hard as you can, rest if you have to, but don't quit!

    Once you get past the first week, it starts to get a little easier. After the first 3 weeks, the pain starts or has already gone away...lol... Just keep pushing yourself. :laugh:

    I heard a quote the other day......

    You are only as tough as you push yourself.

    You will never get any better unless you try harder than the time before.

    I want to start insanity, but want to know the best place to sign up? Is going through a coach a good idea or can I just order it through the internet? Any advice?

    and then it quickly returns when you start month 2 :grumble:

    I just finished day 2! Yikes :sick: it was pretty rough LOL. I get up pretty early in order to complete it before work. The positive is that i'm buzzed for the better part of the workday; the negative is that i'm ready for bed as soon as said workday is over!!!
  • It is normal that you cant do all the moves yet, but in a couple of weeks you will be shocked at how much more you can do! That is what made me most proud... Just when you think you can kick insanity butt, they move you to the max training workouts! Good luck!
