    I just did my first workout on Thursday. I hope I am able to stay motivated and can use all the help in this department that I can. Feel free to add me. I have just joined MFP today and hope that I will be diligent in recording what I eat. I am wondering how to determine the calories spent on completing these workouts. Any idea?
    I found a exercise calculator on Everydayhealth.com that a MFP friend recommend to me. It has an Insanity option.

    Insanity's amazing. You'll have a blast. 63 days of pure cardio hell but it's worth it.

    I finished it on Nov 11th.

    Good luck.

    Insanity is crazayyyy! But it is a great workout if you're ready for it! Do you have a coach? Be sure to work with your coach to make sure everything is going well! I'm here for you! :)

    Started yesterday for the first time. I am a runner, but I wanted to try something different. I did the Plyometric Cardio Circuit today. Man it was tough, but I expect to see great results if I stick with it!! I also have been bad about recording my food, so I started up on here to try to keep track.

    Hi All, I am in the same boat (not been recording my food for a while!) but want to do Insanity. I did the fitness test last night and I'm hoping I can carry on as the reviews have been so good. I will try and post my progress on here (I will also be keeping a manual diary of each workout).

    Good luck to everyone doing it!

    Hey everyone! Saw lots of people wanted to start Insanity or just started. I just started a group today called Insanity- dont just push play, push each other. The goal of the group is to have rookies and Insanity graduates motivate each other to get through the whole 60 days together. We want a 100% completion rate! If you want to join the group that would be awesome, its a public group.

    Just don't push play, push each other!

    Can Insanity be considered as High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)? because some of the exercises seem to be keeping the heart rate up but easier than the next one which is a killer and so on - they seem to alternate.
    Example - "running on the spot, set and then sprint!" - back to running on the spot.

    Yes, I believe it is. I think they actually advertise it as a HIIT workout.

    I'm on my 3rd week of my second round (took about 3 weeks off in between rounds). It's hard...it's STILL hard even after completing it and tackling month 2. Make sure and make Insanity friends. It helped and is helping SOOOO much!

    Wow! I thought I was reading my own post for a second! Had to look at the name. I am in the same boat as you. This is my 3rd of 4th go at it. I will finish this time. I joined a NYE challenge on here so I have 6 weeks to lose some pounds and inches and I WILL do it this time! Good luck!

    Hi All, did the first workout last night, had to take a few rests near the end and struggled with the push ups.

    Does anyone know if you can move your rest days around?? Basically I have limited space and the workouts are making the whole house shake! So I don't really want to get up at 5am and wake everyone up...but if I have plans in the week can I just have my rest day when I do something?

    Anyone else have this problem? I'm worried I'm not giving it my all because I'm working out in a small space!

    I've just started my recovery week before starting on month two and I'm STILL loving it! Not gonna lie, but it doesn't feel any easier the longer you do it! *LOL* I'm hoping it's not because I continue to suck, but because with every workout you get stronger and better and are able to push yourself more. It's AWESOME to be able to do a push-up jack and compare it to the first time I did it during the fit test where I kind of just faked your way through it. Still HATE globe jumps with a passion. I find that concentrating on not dying is the best way to get through each workout.

    I have been blogging my experience consistently after EVERY Insanity workout so that I can look back on it later once I've finished. I've read back on a bunch of entries I've done - especially when I don't feel like doing it or I feel discourage and it's nice to remind myself that there's been improvement when sometimes, the mind spiral will have me convinced I'm not getting anywhere. My second last post has all my starting stats and fit test results as well as my halfway through results.

    Feel free to add me if you like :) Good luck, stick to it, push yourself, forgive yourself and have an insaaaanely awesome journey!

    I'm almost done with round 2 of Insanity and I love it! If you have a heart rate monitor you can record your results on MFP by creating a custom exercise entry. Then all you need to do is update the calorie burn each time you do that workout.

    Feel free to add me if you're looking for Insanity friends! Good luck!
