    I survived Pure Cardio! I'll be switching around the next workout and my rest day because I'm running a 5K in the morning and swing dancing that night.

    I've switched days around when necessary myself. Good luck with the 5K tomorrow!!!

    I started Insanity on Monday. I started it a few weeks ago but picked up an injury while running. So vie had a couple of weeks of rest and I am pumped to complete it this time.

    Pure Cardio today kicked my *kitten* but I managed it. Looking forward to Plyo card tomorrow as it means its the end of the week!!

    I do the exercise in the evening. I spend all day giving myself an excuse not to do it, so as soon as I get in from work I put my workout clothes on. As soon as the kids are in bed I put the dvd on. I feel so good about myself when I've finished. I never thought I would be able to do such a demanding workout so I'm really proud of myself and I'm determined to get to the end.

    Pure Cardio is one tough mofo workout...that is until you meet Max Cardio Conditioning in month 2! :sad:

    I'm looking forward to Plyo tomorrow for the same reason. I wish I could say the workouts get easier as you do them more and more but it's totally not true. However, I know my endurance has increased and I'm able to hang in for a lot longer then when I started. Keep at it. I love your determination!

    BTW if you bought your program from Beachbody you can send in your results and before/after pictures to earn a free tee shirt. I just got mine in the mail today and I can't wait to take pictures wearing it. I'm so proud of myself for actually finishing the entire program!

    I start Round 2 today. I should say Fit Test today and then the round 2 with the max workouts - I love this program. I gained 2 pounds today but thats because I ate stuff I don't normally eat. Cheat Day gone wild with too much licorice!!! Oh well back to it but then again having TOM at the same time certainly doesn't help the situation.
    Let do this!!!:laugh:

    I did the fit test today and start tomorrow, if that's allowed!

    Sure I have found muscles that didn't previously exist!

    Oh to be fit and on my second round!

    PJ anything is allowed! Keep going no matter what but go at your own pace. It doesn't get any easier but you do get stronger so just keep plugging away! Good luck!

    Thank you!

    Looks like it's been a good week for you!

    I finished Pure Cardio yesterday and was a mess! Loved it, though!

    Week 2 Day 1 Cardio Power & Resistance

    Stayed up too late and drank a bit too much wine last night (thanks to a sucky NYG game) so getting through today's workout was tough. Tomorrow will be a better effort.
  • Cardio Power and resistance done. I definitely feel I did better than I did last week.

    Going to fit Pure Cardio in before work tomorrow.

    I'm feeling better about Cardio Power and Resistance but the specialized push-ups really killed me.

    Week 2 Day 3 Plyo Cardio Circuit

    The sweat was dripping into my eyes by the time I got to the final cooldown. I worked hard today and feel great!

    DGrayaon - hope you feel better soon!
  • Thanks, feeling really sorry for myself. Going to give myself a kick up the backside and get cardio recovery done tonight and a hot shower to sweat this cold out!!

    Week 2 Day 4 Cardio Recovery

    I needed this after going hard yesterday! My legs and hip flexors are burning

    DGrayaon - don't push too hard if you're body is telling you it needs rest. Colds suck and sometimes working out doesn't do anything more than 1) tire you out and 2) make you feel worse. On the other hand if your body is telling you to get the h*ll up and move then you probably need to listen! Hope you're feeling better today!
  • Nope I wasn't able to complete it! Did some and took the dog out for a walk to get some fresh air which helped.

    Proud of you for listening to your body instead of fighting your way through it. Drink plenty of fluids and for pete's sake get some rest!!! :bigsmile:

    Week 3 Day 3 Pure Cardio

    Ugh didn't hear my alarm clock go off so I overslept by about 45 minutes this morning and had to convince myself to still head down to the basement to push play. I tricked my mind into doing so by picking a "shorter" workout than the scheduled 42 minutes of Plyo Cardio Circuit. and instead did the 38 minute Pure Cardio video. My right knee is bothering me today so I know I didn't go as hard as I could have but at least I got through it and burned off some goo.

    Welcome to round 2! Pure Cardio is not my favorite but I don't hate it!

    Obviously I've lost my mind. I'm in the second week of month one of my second round. Clear as mud? I did Cardio Abs today right after Pure Cardio. I figured that I had already made it through the second month workouts so why not do them back to back from the get go. I'm also skipping the fit tests since I'm not as concerned with the results the second time around. I ran 5k in lieu of the first fit test and will probably run on Monday too. LOVING doing this program again!!!
  • So I know I'm wayyyy late here, but I also do insanity... Anyone mind if I join in? This morning was Plyo Cardio for me!
  • I've been doing insanity for a while and it kicks my butt hardcore everytime!! Add me and we can suffer together :p
