Insanity Challenge

I am back in the land of the living. So after having a respiratory tract infection I've had 2 rounds of antibiotics and 2 rounds of steroids for my asthma. Docs told me I wasn't under any circumstances allowed to work out!
I got through to day 3 of week 2 but I should be starting week 4 today which is really upsetting. I feel like a total doughball for doing no exercise and just resting and eating!
So what do you think I should do? Should I start over from week one or start back at beginning of week 2 or just crack on into week 3?
I'm totally gutted knowing I should be starting the end of the first month today, feel like I've achieved nothing.0 -
i stumbled into the program last weekend and i just started (am on day 5 now). yesterday i did the cardio recovery. and i thought i, gonna get a breather but it still kicked my butt haha..
i did my pure cardio today, and when shaun T said he gonna be scared for the workout (after the warmup) my heart just skipped a beat....
but all in all i gave my best shot and i did it!
this is my first week, so far out of every 3 rounds of each set . i only managed to do half . so that makes me 1/3 complete.
hopefully my strength increases.0 -
I had to stop last week due to illness. I'm going to restart week 3 today. Hopefully I can snap back into it.0

It's that time of year where everyone gets sick. I can never escape it.
Aren't you on PX90 right now? Are you considering doing both programs at the same time?0 -
I am on Day # 51 - so the countdown is on until I'm finished this round. I will be continuting on with a round of P90X just for the hell of it

Nice! You're end is so close! Did you notice any changes to your body? Is month 2 *really* that much harder than month 1?
I'm thinking of starting p90X afterwards. Assuming I surive Insanity of course.:ohwell:0 -
Insanity is awesome, but wreaks havoc on my knees if I try to do the whole program in 60 days. But I wish you luck and an awesome transformation story!0

How do you guys log your excercise to match the intensity of insanity?0

How do you guys log your excercise to match the intensity of insanity?
The best thing to do is invest in a heart rate monitor. If that is not an option I use aerobics high impact, low impact, callisthenics, stretching, etc. I will try to break it down as close as possible but it will not be 100% accurate.0 -
I do use HRM to track my cal burnHow do you guys log your excercise to match the intensity of insanity?0 -
In second week, feeling it. Im gonna do P90X or Asylum after, I just dont know how much i want to invest in all the equipment. I guess thats what craigslist is for.
But first... a HRM with Cal counter!
Success to all!0 -
My two post Insanity workouts are Asylum or PX90 as well. Hope2Faith mentioned up thread that there is little cardio in PX90 so I might do that for a break. Be sure to share your next fitness test results on this thread for shared motivation.0

You may want to invest in some knee braces. Insanity is killer on the knees. Once I got those, I did a lot better. The problem I had is it stopped my weight loss. I toned up, but I didn't lose but three or four times the entire time I did it (six weeks). I am going to start up again after I have lost ten more pounds. I am running until then.0

hey guys
just finished my 1st week of insanity
it is truly kicking my *kitten* but i am loving it..
however,
it keeps going on about "recovery formula" - which has a carb/protein ratio of 4:1
now i dnt have this. but i drink a protein shake after i do each workout. (i used to do the gym alot but wanted to try something new)
its called "total protein" from myprotein.com: its nutritional info is below. (its a 60g serving per 325ml water)
Per 60g:
Energy: 207.9Kcal
Protein (as-is): 46.5g
Carbohydrates: 2.4g
Fat: 2.1g
as you can see its copletely diffferent to the ratio of the recovery formula
im no nutritional expert so what effect will drinking this shake have on me after a workout? will i not burn fat etc etc?
help please
cheers
