Insanity Friends

ax150

Hello! My Insanity DVDs just arrived this morning and I can't wait to get started! I'm really looking forward to the next 60 very challenging days. I'm looking for some friends that are doing Insanity to share the pain with! I'm a 29 yo female hoping to lose about 40 pounds total (eventually) Please add me !

Id love to be workout buddies and check in with each other to make sure that were "sticking to the schedule" i'm a 31 yr old mother of 2 girls hoping to lose 18 pounds (i've already dropped 17 pounds by using p90x and insanity). i dont know how to add people but if you want to partner up please feel free to add me. lisa

Hi all, 25 year old mother of two. Hoping to lose 22 pounds :bigsmile: I'm on week 1 day 6 and I'm a little confused about something... When I calculated my daily calorie intake using the Elite Nutrition Guide from Insanity it told me I'd need to have 2,248 calories a day divided into 5 meals so around 450 calories each meal to lose weight. I'm confused because when I signed up for this site MFP and put in my information it's telling me that I'm only supposed to eat 1,220 calories a day to lose weight! Which one should I follow to lose this weight??? PLEASE ANSWER

My Coach through beachbody told me that MFP is showing NET calories (or the calories after working out). If you take the amount that the nutrition guide figured and subtract what you burn by working out, you should get close to the same amount that MFP is showing. She told me that Insanity is going to take a TON of fuel to keep body from burning out. I hope this helps. The nutrition guide has be at 1830 calories and the MFP has me at 1440. She told me starting out at 1800 should be fine.

The 2248 calories includes the extra food you will need to make up for calories burned during your workouts. The 1220 caloreies is what you need if you do not exercise. Hope that helps

I have some pointers for you. Just wrapped up my 2nd month. Be prepared for intense cardio!

>If you are out of shape, go every other day for a spell, then add a day. etc. I could never get more than 5 days in a week due to traveling and such.
> DO NOT try to keep up with the 25 year old hard bodies in the DVD. Go at your own pace. I really enjoyed watching them recover in the fetal position ... which was the same position I was in. lol
>You might gain 2 or 3 pounds at first (muscle) but you do lose inches. I lost 6 pounds total - but did not have much to lose to begin with.
>Use the pause button and get your heart rate DOWN when Shaun tells you to recover.
>If you can't do a particular exercise very well - or at all - DO SOMETHING ELSE - but do something... and do it at your own pace.
>Hydrate hydrate hydrate!
>Use a chest-strap heart monitor.

Good luck! I love to hate Shaun T but hate being out of shape more. Message me if you need any future help.

I plan on starting a week on Monday, cannot wait even though it look super tough! I'd love to see other people suffering from my friends, haha. Best of luck!

I love Insanity!!!! After I finished, I wanted to get more strength training in but wasn't willing to give it up so I am now doing the Insanity/P90X hybrid program. Best of luck on your 60 days! I guarantee, you won't regret it!

Hi friends, started Day 1 of p90x/asylum hybrid with Chest & Back & ab ripper x. So excited to do these workouts!

sheli1971

I have the Insanity DVDs too!! Did them 4 2 wks then my DVD player when out!! Then my workout partner is no longer motivated to do it with me. So i would love to get back into it again and hear about your pain after a week you really start to feel good!!! I have been doing ellipictical and ab workouts given to me by a Beachbody instructor. There is a girl with long beautiful dark hair on the videos(one of them at least) She does NOT put her hair up during the workout!!!!! You know her butt is sweating!!!! DUMB woman!! She annoys me everytime i do that video! LOL!! However wish I was build like her!! I LOVE to HATE her!!!! LOL!! Now you will be looking for her!!LOL!!! Good luck I am going to have to get busy this weekend doing it as well. Friend me please!! Thanks Sheli

i finished an entire program and loved it...

to add to some of the advice:
just try your hardest and rest when you need to.
push yourself, but don't kill yourself.
it does get easier (not the program, you just get better), just keep pushing thru.
have lotsa water handy.
diet is a huge part of this.
focus... and go.


feel free to add me for motivation!

I'm Starting Monday :-)

Been through it, it's a bit rough at first if you're just starting back into exercising, just keep in mind you need to go at your own pace, not theirs, or you'll die trying lol. Very rewarding when you can start keeping up and finishing them a few weeks in. Best of luck!

Hey there!

I want to lose 40lbs as well! I started off doing Insanity but I never finished it....my brother asked to borrow the CD and i haven't seen it since.....anyway, hoping to get it back as soon as I can. But I would love to add you and hope to be motivated by your progress. Get ready for a tough workout and exciting workout!

~~~not your average cherry blossom~~~
