What day are you on? I am restarting today with the Plyo cardio circuit (I did the fit test a few weeks ago and will use those results). I did 3.5 weeks of it before July 4, but then life got in the way
. I could use some motivation to get through all two months this time! 0 -
Hi! So I had started Insanity on August 27th and made it halfway through month 2 before I had to quit due to some family problems.. anyhow. I just restarted insanity yesterday so I'm with you! (:0

I'm starting doing Insanity for the second time and just finished week 1. Would love to be friends with others doing this workout = )0

I started Round 2 of Insanity today!0

I started last week, but ended up getting sick so I am starting over tonight. Good luck!0

Yay! how exciting, 0 -
I started with my Fit Test on Monday, October 15th. I did the Plyo Circuit last night and I think it just about killed me....onto the next one tonight. Feel free to add me so we can motivate each other!!!0

Hi, I just started a randomly started yesterday with my brother who has been doing it for some time now. What exercise topic do you guys put insanity under?0
-
I am going to start insanity on Monday the 22nd. I am looking for others who are also starting right around that time for support. I am also planning on using the nutrition guide. The food choices seem reasonable and the substitute foods are good for picky eaters like me.0

I just did Cardio Recovery today. That was challenging, wasn't it?! But it feels great! How will you track that workout for calories burned?0
-
I finished W2D5 today, finishing up week 2 tomorrow with Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs! I am loving it so far!0
-
I started this week as well and am doing it with a friend at the gym. Day 4 today and it was a cardio recovery which was harder than I expected but probably because I'm not very flexible!
Would be great to have some motivation along the way!0 -

I use a heart rate monitor. That way you have a much better indication of the number of calories you burn. In this whole journey it has by far been the best investment I have made.0 -

I use "circuit training". It might be slightly less, but I'd rather under report cals burned than over report.0 -
I did the fit test yesterday... plyo tonight after letting dinner settle!0

I just did day 5 of my first time doing insanity LOVE IT! add me if you would like id love other insane people to be buddies with

I've done two rounds (not back to back) of Insanity. I'm also a P90X enthusiast. Insanity is touch, but you can make great progress with the program. Just stay with it. MODIFY as you need to...I did initially....now not so much. Watch the people in the background or off to the side, there will typically be someone who is less fit that is modifying a move and you can mimic them. As you get more fit, try to follow strict form.
I strongly recommend a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM). Insanity is SO intense, that it is difficult to gauge your level of calories burned without an HRM. The investment in an HRM is WELL worth the money since you will be much more accurate when tracking your calories burned.
You are WISE to get friends on MFP that are following the same plan and can share tips and insight with you. If I can be of assistance or you'd like positive encouragement while doing doing Insanity, feel free to add me as a friend.
Best of luck to you!

I just joined here and did Day 4 of INSANITY this morning. I would love other MFP friends to help motivate me (and sympthasize with whatever sore muscles INSANITY gave me that particular day... like yesterday, my lower back was super sore, but today I'm feeling pretty good).0

I'm only two weeks from the end, and believe me, it goes by FAST!
As far as how to log it, if you don't have a HRM, this is what I used:
http://www.everydayhealth.com/food-fitness/exercise-activity/calories-burned-conditioning-exercises
Just put in your weight and minutes for each exercise and it calculates an approximate burn.
Something that I love is reading daily Insanity blogs from people here, I always found it super motivating; I have one at www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/1concretegirl
And a few others that I like are www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/danasings and www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/clur85
Good luck to you all!0 -
I'm starting Insanity on Monday!!
! Feel free to add me luvz. x 0 -
Hi there folks, just joined the site but I've always been curious about the INSANITY and P90X workouts. Are they something that you guys can reccomend? They seemed awful expensive to risk at, thanks!0
-
Ah, this is great!
I started insanity this week and today is my rest day. Even after the fit test I was ruined, and I swear profoundly at Shaun T every time he makes me do some form of squat exercise!
I'm really enjoying it so far, and feel a little lost without a workout today, although my body is delighted that I'm not throwing it around my living room...0 -
It's completely worth it! Although, I got mine for free
so that helped. I'm ending day 4 and already I've lost weight and can see my body changing. DO IT MAN! or regret it forever lol
P.S. I've done P90X and Insanity is by far given me the fastest results. Just stay on that diet dude.0 -
I've finished 1 round of Insanity and now just 2 weeks shy of finishing a P90x/Insanity 90 day Hybrid.
I am starting a challenge/accountability group to begin another round of Insanity or P90x on beginning November 4th if interested.
I've lost a total of 5" off my waist this past year, 3" as a direct result of Insanity. Message me if interested.0 -
I'm on day four of insanity, and I'm soooo,sore, what a workout! It's hard but I think will be great results.0

Where'd you get it for free?0
