    Did that today and I remembered it being harder! I def think yesterday was harder not sure if that's becuase it was the 1st workout or because it's a harder workout! I am looking forward to Pure Cardio Thursday I LOVE that workout even though I fall down on the floor when it's done!

    Just finished Cardio Power & Resistance. Always glad to have this one done. I used to hate it but now that I can actualy do power jumps pretty good it doesn't seem as bad. I hear you Mary, Pure Cardio is my favorite. It is flat out nuts but I think because there is less repitition it just seems to fly by.

    i actually didn't mind this one. i thought it would be worse and there were a lot more water breaks than i anticipated. i could keep up with it for the most part. i think the plyo one was worse. tomorrow is cardio recovery, i hope it's awesome

    I did this today. It was hard and I felt fatigued (I think it's just a lot of bigger muscles workking) but I felt like it was a great workout overall. 564 cals burnt (hrm).

    Bring on day 4!

    Did this one again today! it was not as hard as I rembered but still hard! I think this is the easiest one of the 3 month 1 workouts.

    Good job! Have fun with month 2 and let us know how it's going for you! That is where i failed at my first go around at insanity.

    I did Cardio Power and Resistance for the first time yesterday and thought it was a little easier and a lot more fun than Plyometrics. I can tell already that Plyo days are going to be my least favorite by far. I'm so excited for Cardio Recovery tonight, my body could use a little break!

    the only one i don't look forward to is pure cardio... that is intense stuff!

    i wouldn't say you failed if you made it through month 1! that is awesome right there. i think sometimes we are not ready but want to try something different. i am going to do my best to get the whole way through but if i dont' make it, i want to at least do month 1. i really really want to do all of it and i think i can, however.
  • It seems to me that the one I hate the most is the one I am doing that day!!! ; )

    It was late but I got it done!! Just finished Cardio Power & Resistance :happy:
  • Don't let the Recovery Fool you. Yes it is a little less intense however some of those things are just horrible ;) The Low plank to high plank push ups are fun. The planks while balancing on one side is even more fun too!

    haha yeah it was pretty serious. Those squats and lunges are no joke! I definitely couldn't hold them as long as I was supposed to, and the stretching was tough too. But I liked that it was slower and a little more relaxing, even if my legs did feel like jello afterwards! Pure Cardio tonight. I'm hoping it's not as awful as it sounds!

    I would rate the workouts 1. Cardio Power and Resistance 2. Plyo 3. Pure Cardio

    as far as difficulty i still think pure cardio is the worst. i actually don't mind the power and resistance workout and plyo is ok, just a little bit more jumping than i like. but pure cardio is so non stop and exhausting. i don't think anything compares to it in my mind. but i also think depending on my energy level that particular day, any of them can seem bad.

    Pure cardio is my favorite cause you only do each exercise once!! I would rank from worst to easiest: 1. Plyo 2. Power Cardio & Resistance 3. Pure cardio.

    Thank god that's over with. My triceps are burning from those dips and push-ups! Went extra hard knowing this was the last time I'd do it but I bet the month 2 alternative is going to even worse.
