    Would love to join this group! I'm on day 4, did Pure Cardio today and thought I was going to collapse, it was just so much more difficult than days 1 & 2. I just did as much as I could to keep up (but had to rest lots of times) and just about got to the end. Here's looking at the pleasure of getting through tomorrow's routine. Good luck ladies!!!!!!

    Starting my second round on Monday!!! (Which is the 1st, wooo! Perfect!)
    This round I am going to be doing some resistance training in addition to the Insanity videos...especially in month 1! They are great workouts, but I just didn't get what I needed and I don't feel right not doing any strength training. I am hoping to get the deluxe workouts, too, which includes 3 more exercises that you can use to replace some of them so it doesn't get too boring.

    Day 3 is a lot easier than day 2, so I hope that makes you feel better. :wink:

    An interesting fact for those who do not know

    Its about 3500, it is actually a little less than that in fact but for easy calculations on diet 3500 is used. Or... since there are 9 Calories in a gram of fat, and 453.6 grams in a pound, it's probably closer to 4082 Calories in a pound. (453.6 grams in a pound x 9 Calories in each of those grams = 4082 Calories in 1 pound). There may be reasons why 3500 is the commonly accepted answer, but it seems to me the rounded off answer should be 4000, not 3500. 3500 is the common answer because it is in fact very close to the real amount. The actual amount of Calories in a pound of human body fat is around 3400. The reason why it is not around 4000 is because human body fat retains much water. Not all of the actual mass is pure fat.

    I know a few people mentioned they were going to start Insanity, please share you fit test results and let us know how you feel. I find it is a great way to stay motivated and it keeps me inspired to dig deeper.

    I am on my recovery week ....And I am wondering whether to start again round 1 or to try month 2. I heard it was much more difficult than month 1 and I still can't finish all the routines from month 1 ....

    Anyone has tried it (doing 2 times month 1 before doing month 2 ?)

    xxx everyone, we can do it !

    It's not tha bad. I'm overweight with a poor fitness level and I can do it with a couple small modifications. Good luck on your 5k, are you aiming for a specific time?

    I'm just into my first week so I can't offer advice based on personal experience. I say push thru to month 2.
    Do you find yourself progressing on the fit test?

    I feel like Pure CRAP. Pure Cardio is no joke. I couldn't do have the moves and i was still tired. Maybe by next go around i will be able to do them. Good luck for those who haven't gotten to it yet!

    Pure cardio is my favorite but I hate Plyo with all my heart :bigsmile:

    To thisCanadian , I haven't been taking the fit test ....I'll measure at the end of the week though to see if I have dropped inches

    Nest Monday : month 2 , wish me luck :laugh:
