I've watched enough INSANITY informericals, and I was able to actually meet Shaun T and workout with him on Saturday in Landover MD. It was fantastic. Wow, is all I can say! He is intense. I am a runner and I strength train, but that was not enough for the workout I had with Shaun T. I thought that I would at least be able to keep up some, and some is what I did. I must admit, I did a a pretty decent job of trying to keep up. But, I've decided to take the plunge. I just order the tapes today. They should be be here btw 7/27 - 7/31. Unfortunately, I go on vacation 8/2. So, if anyone wants to start with me and we keep each of encouraged, please feel free to sign on and befriend me. I encourage veteran INSANITY participants to sign on and keep me and others motivated.

    I'm doing insanity right now, and my last day is August 6th. I plan on taking a rest day and starting the program again on the eighth (so I don't fall out of routine). So, I will only be a few days ahead. :)

    In the beginning you will probably gain a few pounds. I did. This is just water weight from your muscles taking a beating. You should also get a heart rate monitor with a chest strap to accurately measure calories burned. And yes, try to eat back most of your workout calories. :) Just some beginner tips.
