Week 7 Day 7 REST DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TOM finally came and I refuse to get on the scale because I know the number is going to be up. Why ruin a perfectly good Sunday when I know the gain is temporary?!?!?!?!!!0 -
Nope no point making yourself feel down for no reason, i know it did me just before i came on and it said +2lbs!
Max cardio conditioning done! Really wasnt looking forward to it, felt so tired all this morning. Playing with my cals and upped slightly as since starting month 2 ive felt the tiredness! Fingers crossed i wont put on weight!
Do people work to a set amount of cals or to the net amount?0 -
Max recovery done today, felt i spent half the time watching what we was meant to be doing instead of doing it! Hopefully will do better next time. I did however get some nice grazes/ burns on my arms from high - low planks, carpet is not good for that! I did them before when doing Jillian stuff but not that many lol Can really feel it on my abs today!
Hope everyone has a great day!0 -
Week 8 Day 1 Max Interval Circuit
Holy smokes only 2 weeks left until I complete my 1st round of Insanity!!!! I am so proud of myself for making it this far. I can almost see me wearing my "I Earned It" tee shirt!
Puckers I try to eat around the same amount of calories each day 1750 - 1850 per the Insanity nutrition guide. Some days it nets closer to 1200 and other days I see I'm around 1300. Great job on Max CC...that one is TOUGH, although I still say Max Recovery is the worst.0 -
This is the problem i have, the guide says 2208 cals for me, i just cant believe i can eat that much and lose! I choose the 1.7 for very active like it says. I was eating about 1700-1800 but with feeling tired upped to 1900 and feel much better already. Ill see what happens.0

Gutted today, had to stop 10 mins early and fast forward to the stretch as my downstairs neighbours came back! I was doing max interval circuit.
My boys are back to school tomorrow :-( Guess its extra cals burned walking them to and from lol0 -
Started Insanity on Sat!! I love it of course after doing the first few minutes and then Shaun T says " Ok now that we have warmed up" I was like seriously thats a warm up hahaha. I love cardio and circuit training type stuff so this is something ive been wanting to do. Since I just had a baby 7 weeks ago I needed something to challenge me to get back to where I need to be and this appears to be it. Its crazy that my abbs just started hurting out of nowhere, who knew you would use your core so much go figure and I thought sit ups where the only way to my abbs.0

I remember that feeling about the warm up!

Week 8 Day 3 Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs

Week 8 Day 3 Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs
I'm thoroughly exhausted after this workout. I can't believe I'm going to complete round 1 of Insanity in 11 days! It's unbelievable.

So far I've lost 6.3 lbs and a bunch of inches all over. I feel smaller and my stomach has definitely shrunk. I do plan to do another round once I finish this one because I've heard you really see results from doing a 2nd round.0 -
My coworkers and I are half way through Month 2 and plan on going a second round after this month. There's about 7 of us and we have all lost inches. We are hoping that on the second round, we start to lose weight. None of us are really following the meal plan, but we make sure we eat all of our protein and eat back our calories (or most of them) according to MFP. We all LOVE Insanity.

That is awesome! Are you all going right into the next round or do you plan to do a recovery week first? I'm going to do a recovery week and plan to kick off round 2 on Sept 24.0 -
I completed day 45 today and still going. My last day looks to be 9/22.0

I don't know yet. I like the recovery program, but might just do 2-3 days of the recovery before starting all over again. I know we will be done on Sept 28th, so October 1 (a Monday), will be when we start Insanity all over again. I can't wait as we are all Insanity enthusiasts at my work.0 -
I am on week one of month 2. I find support in my facebook group called "team pure insanity" every time i go on facebook i see others who are kicking butt or people looking for encouragement, motivational items, meal advice its really good to talk to people who have been there.0

Please add me to this group. I just finished week 3 yesterday, and am enjoying my day off. I've lost 7 pounds (through doing the workouts, and logging all my calories on MFP), and have had three people come up to me and say, "You look like you're losing weight." Yea! It's been a while since I've heard that. I LOVE this program! I'm with the folks who want to start round 2 after they finish this round. It's become just another part of my daily schedule, and I DO NOT want to give it up. When I did the fit test on Day 1, I thought....Seriously? I can't even do a third of these exercises. When I completed my second fit test, I noticed a HUGE improvement. This workout is definitely my cup of tea. I can see why it wouldn't be for everyone, but I am just enjoying the heck out of it. Anyway...my two cents. :-)0

Welcome to the Insanity chuckels!!! Glad to meet you. I'm planning to start round 2 on Sept. 24 so I'll definitely be looking for people to join me for another 9 weeks of Shaun T!0 -

That is awesome that you've found an outlet for support and motivation. It's so important to find others going through the same things you are. I find that whenever I come to MFP.0 -
Week 8 Day 4 Max Recovery
Still HATE this workout and I always look forward to getting it over with. Today was no different plus I stayed up later than usual last night to watch my beloved NY Giants lose so I'm extra tired. Sigh....
Looking forward to seeing puddles of sweat tomorrow from Max Interval Circuit!!!!!0 -
Max cardio conditioning for me today. Washed, lunched now off to give blood for the first time since the start of the year, hopefully if my iron levels are good now!
Keep pushing everyone!0 -
Week 8 Day 5 Max Interval Circuit
This week has certainly flown. I can't believe I'm going to complete Round 1 in another week! MIC was pretty challenging today...those side suicides absolutely KILL me! I did more regular suicides that side ones just to get through the 3 rounds.0 -
I will be finishing my 6th week tomorrow! My whole core is so sore. Haha. But that is a good thing. The Max Interval Circuit is by far the hardest workout in my opinion. Just trying to push through and do as much as I can!0

Week 8 Day 6 Core Cardio & Balance
Wow I love this workout!!! Can't believe I only have one more week to go to finish round 1 of Insanity. It seems like yesterday that I was just starting out. My tee shirt is so close I can taste it!!!
I agree ciannaggi, Max Interval Circuit is by far the hardest (although I think Max Recovery is equally tough)!0 -
Can't wait to you all post results, I'm nearly the end of Insanity Round 1 too, i really regret not taking pictures this round but so far I've had some awesome results! Will check back here in a week.
Anyone thinking of doing another round or a hybrid albeit after a well deserved break of course!0 -
I just finished week one. Feel fantastic! Good luck you will do brilliantly 0

I'm going to do a week of recovery...Core Cardio & Balance alternated with the Sports Training workout from the advanced series. I plan to kick off round 2 on Sept. 24. My plan after round 2 is to do a hybrid of Insanity and Chalean Extreme.0 -
