    I love you guys! LOL! I get a big 'ole INCOMPLETE when it comes to Insanity. I have started it maybe a half dozen times, but never seem to get past week 2 or 3 with any consistency. I've been lifting weights and trying to swim, bike, and/or "run" (more like a walk/jog) but of course I've been in "vacation mode" since Christmas! I welcome supportive friends if anyone wants to send a request. I will be honest though, I don't spend a LOT of time on here any more because it had become a HUGE time drain for me. I will comment and encourage, but spending too much time on the message boards is something I'm avoiding for 2013. Just want you to know! :happy:

    Today will round out week one for me. It has been tough, but not that bad. Pure Cardio is crazy!!!!! I also cannot be on here for large amounts of time, but will check in a couple times a week! Hope everyone's week has been INSANE!

    I just started Insanity for the first time... I completed the fit test yesterday and day 1 today. Boy, is it difficult! I really enjoyed it though and am looking forward to seeing some fitness improvements and watching my body get more defined. I would love support to keep motivated to continue with the program.

    This morning was cardio power and resistance. It was rough since I have been on vacation for two weeks, so doing it at 5am will take some getting used to. But, I am pumped up for week two!!!!!!!

    Started Insanity today and whew! Was SO much more difficult than anticipated. Working out with a few coworkers daily after work though, so hopefully it has some staying power. Definitely can feel the benefits of it already, so I'm excited to see what changes it'll bring!

    Hi from another new year Insanity starter :)

    I've done the occasional workout here and there but have never managed to do the entire program. I'm determined that 2013 will be my year.

    Good luck to everyone on the journey and keep pushing play!

    Completed my fit test yesterday and starting day one today. Very frustrated with how out of shape I've allowed myself to get but it sounds like this will be the real kick in the butt that I need to get back on track. Preparing myself for some serious sore muscles!

    Insanity is named accordingly, in my opinion. It is rough and tough. I have no idea how I did 63 days of it last spring now that I am back in it! From last week to this week, though, I have felt better about the routines. (And I already knew what to expect :wink: ) I did Pure Cardio today and felt like I did WAY better than last week. The level 2 drills kill me, but I stuck with it. The last two exercises (suicide jumps and push up jacks) were pathetic though! Next time it will be better. I think there are two days of pure cardio this week :noway:

    Hope everyone is pushing through and no one is giving up!!!!!!!

    I did the pure cardio and cardio ab workouts... tough. tough, tough! I hated every minute of it until I was finished. And then I felt great!

    You ladies are insane! Done just a few days of insanity. Been sick and zero energy...and headaches galore. Finally subsiding.... Getting back into swing. Did pure cardio last night! That is s*it bananas, yo! Lol... I'm 4 pounds away from my next goal... Hoping to get there... If I just tighten up more.... That would make me happy too!

    I HATE Pure Cardio!!! I dread doing it all day long and usually end up doing it around midnight. I hope I will learn to love it one day. The only thing that motivated me is inviting someone to do it with me and watching them suffer lol I know it is cruel. But it motivates me to show them how I can stick it through longer. hehehe

    Accountability Day #1: FIT TEST. I am happy with my fit test results. From the first time doing Insanity in the spring, all my numbers were better. But they were not as good as my last fit test from last time. That just means I have to work harder to get where I want to be. I will try to come on and check in each day with the workout of the day. Sometimes I cannot get online due to work and children and life stuff. (but I will try to get on everyday)

    Here it is:
    Switch kicks 62
    Power Jacks 59
    Power Knees 104
    Power Jumps 52
    Globe Jumps 9 (I hate these...lol)
    Suicide Jumps 19
    Push-up jacks 30
    Low plank oblique 55

    Please post your numbers, if you feel comfortable! Motivation and support here!!!!

    Here are my fit test #2 results:
    Switch Kicks 70
    Power Jacks 64
    Power Knees 112
    Power Jumps 58
    Globe Jumps 10
    Suicide Jumps 23
    Push-up Jacks 37
    Low Plank Oblique 66

    Gonna keep pushing through. With all my measurements, chest, biceps, waist, hips, thighs, calves, I am down overall an inch and a half. (not great, not bad) I am also down one pound (was hoping for more but not expecting it...my weight stays steady as ever...even though my body does change a bit)

    Hope everyone else is doing well!

    Those numbers look good to me. I am not sure about it. I just know that the first fit test and the last fit test should show improvement!
