    I am starting today! I am a little scared about what I am getting myself into but after a little indulgence over my vacation I need something to get me back into the swing of things. I'll let you know how it goes!
  • Hey if you cant indulge on holiday when can you :)

    This workout is intimidating to all i think, but we are all after the same results so stick at it and GOOD LUCK!

    One thing i would say is to start it on the Monday so you dont get lost on the calender, its just easier!

    I wanted to start last week so i did the fit test last friday recorded results, then come monday i did the fit test again without recording results.

    Let me no how you get on......

    Hehe my whole body hurt the first week and after stop smoking my heart and lung hurt too, now in my second week, huge difference with day 1 ><
  • Well spose they dont call it insanity for nothing..

    Good 2know others are on the same day and hurting 2 lol.

    How did you both find the recovery disc 2day? It was nice for a break from intense cardio but those deep squats i couldnt hold for longer than a few seconds, absolute killer!
  • Its good to hear week 2 gets better RotterdamNL

    Nice one for stopping smoking ive jus done the same :) !!!

    You're right, those squats/lunges are killer. Pure cardio tonight.
  • I have 10 days left to Insanity and believe me, it's always hard.
    About the hurting, I have used Glutamine in my postworkout shake to help with muscle repair since the beginning and it helps cause I skip it 3 days ago and i was hurting the day after so I finally had the confirmation that I wasn't using it for nothing

    I started 8-14-12. So Tuesdays are actually my Monday workouts, and Mondays are my day "off". Every part of my body hurts! I've gained two pounds, which I'm trying not to pay attention to. I'm going to try weighing only on fitness test days.

    Yesterday I completed the warmup and fit test -- All I can say is OMG...I gave every it everything I had but (TMI) I ended up throwing up my previous meal and my quads are really sore today :sick:

    If this was just the warm up and fit test I am terrified of what's to come in the "real" workout but I will try again today and stop as many times as I need to until I build up to it...baby steps. Goodluck everyone!!

    hahaha i am sorry but that made me laugh :laugh: but dont worry, i've read many reports from people throwing up the first time, i am glad no1 saw me on the first day, was the same day i quitted smoking after 16 yrs, i had to stop every 10 seconds, my heartrate went skyhigh, my lungs hurted, it was a mess.

    Now i am 1 day away of my second week, totally not happy with tomorrow, pure cardio AND cardio abs ugh but it goes alot better then last week lol although i really wasnt happy doing it.

    I kinda did the same i started the friday before with the fit test, recorded my results and did the fit test again on the monday just so i wouldnt get confused,

    Yh sounds like i good idea to way in on fit test days. Your body might of gone into shock survival mode and is trying to hold onto energy stores but keep it up and im sure you will see results.

    Keep posting and let me no, GOOD LUCK :)

    LOL.... yh fit test and warm up are no piece of cake, and dont worry ive thrown up once as well, its just a sign of how unfit we are and will get better :)

    Hows your results body wise now your near the end???
  • I started on the same date, and my calves are killing me haha, but I'm loving the feeling of getting healthier. I feel like I'm already making progress as I'm not taking as many breaks during the workout.

    I would recommend to not anything 2 hours prior to doing insanity so you don't throw up. Don't give up though we are here to help!

    Week 1 for me was horrible!!! Especialy cause i quitted smoking, havent workouted for many months and just sat on the couch playing games.
    My whole body hurt the first week, in and outside.

    Now i am half way week 3, i still hate insanity but my stamina has improved greatly.
  • Hi, I'm new. I just started Insanity 08/13/2012 also. Day one and two were BRUTAL for me but by 3 I at least felt I was keeping up a little better and now in week 2 I'm feeling much better although I do need to take quite a few tiny breaks to catch my breath. To be honest I thought I was going to see at least some weight loss immediately and unfortunately have gained two lbs much to my horror. I'm getting discouraged but am going to keep going and hope that at least by end of round one I have seen some change for the better and not actually gaining more weight.

    Glad to see everyone is sticking with it. I was well into the second week before I could even make it through the warm up without stopping. I'm now about to finish up Week 1 of Month 2 and OMG. It will push you, but it is worth it.. Good luck to everyone...
