Just completed the max plyo (day 2 of month 2) and HOLY COW!! These moves are insane! There is just no other word to describe it! I got through it, but there were a few moves that I was only able to do a few reps of..... It's a very weird feeling, because I don't know if I am completely excited for the rest of this month and how hard it will be, or just scared sh*tless! Anyways, it took me by surprise and I HAD to tell someone! 
Anyone else have a similar reaction when starting month two?

no because i didn't end up doing the month 2 videos the first time! Going to do them this time!! But now you got me nervous... LOL0

Month twos a killer! I do vividly recall laying on the ground after the first workout of month two and not wanting to move hahahahahaha ooooh can't wait to do it again!! W1D4 Round 3 Yay!0

Yes, it will work you hard!! But, the results you want to see will also come during Month 2.. I've heard it said before, Month 1 routines are getting you ready so you don't die during Month 2. Good luck with it and don't be scared!! Face it everyday and in 29 more days, you'll be more 10 times awesome than you are today!! 0

Lol aw man, this makes me nervous for month 2. I'm getting through month 1 without a problem, so hopefully month 2 won't be bad. I previewed the month 2 videos and they look pretty similar to month 1, just longer in duration.0

Well serious kudos to anyone who has finished the program or in the process I've heard people say they see the most results in month 2 and now I understand why. You definitely shouldn't let me scare you, I just wasn't ready for some of the really different moves (squat push-ups, and side push ups come to mind). But don't get me wrong I'm totally excited for this month!! Thanks for sharing all your thoughts 0

LOL I had the same reactions on Monday. I thought about giving up (seriously would never though).
Hang in there our results are going to be great!0 -
Hi !!
As a new member I was wondering how much result you saw during month 1? How much result will you expect during month 2?0 -
The results are going to be up to you.. How hard you push during each work out... For month 1, you may some some inches lost, but you may not see very much weight loss during that month.. Some folks did, but most saw more NSV's (non-scale victories) than lbs/kg's gone.. Month 2 is where you'll see the pounds drop and the definition start.. Now, as for "as seen on TV" results.. For most of us, it ain't gonna happen. But, you will be better off at the end fo those two months than you are right now.. Go for those small victories in Month 1.. My first was making it through the warm-up without taking a break (middle of 2nd week before that happened).. Then it was getting through most of the routines with only the breaks they took (Never got 100% of that) But, month 2, that's when it all happens.. It's almost like starting over, but you will see and feel results quicker if you seriously push through it and give it 100%.. For this to work, you have to work, HARD.. But, it's worth it..Hi !!

My husband and I completed the program last month and let me say I HATED everything about month two, we got through it but it was murder, both mentally and physically at that point. We just kept pushing play. I personally got more results with month one because I think I could eventually do all of month one pretty effectively, not so much with month two. Overall great program, but month two is a killer. Good Luck and keep pushing play!!!0

Month two is where all the hard work pays off and esp those ABS been looking for !!! The great thing about Insanity, and Shaun T actually says this in the Plyo video I think too, is that you do what you can, you don't have to keep up...just keep going.
before you know it, you'll have those sets of 32 pushups DOWN! I called like 3 people the first time I got through that circuit the first time LOL...
ROCK ON BUDDY and just don't give up!0 -
Just went through month 1 two times and I can say I got a lot stronger, but no pounds came off. My buddies and I went through month 1 two times as we simply needed more preparation for month 2 as we were still struggling with month 1 after the first round. I am getting stricter with my meal plan to keep an eye on my eating a lot closer. I am hoping for the month 2 success that I read about and my two buddies who work out with me are also hoping for month 2 success. They too have had a lot of gain in strength, but no weight loss. We will see what happens.
I love the insanity workouts and at age 40+ it means a lot to be able to make it through them. My goal is climbing Long's Peak this summer without struggling. LOL So, Insanity and anything else I add to my daily agenda is a necessity.
Month 2 begins on Monday and if we need to go through it 2 times, we will and probably will do so if we are having weight loss success. Otherwise, we may go back to TurboFire. 0 -
Starting month 2 tomorrow .. Intimidated because I have no idea how to eat right, just trying to keep around 1900 calories and 40% protein/40% carbs/20% fat. I haven't been able to make the lifestyle change to cooking so unable to follow the nutrition guide really as I'm in this alone. I find ways to do lots of veggies & mixed berries at home then grilled chicken anywhere I eat with side salads.
I'm 5'11" and have lost about 10lbs in month 1 with this ... as long as my knee holds up (LCL feels tweaked a bit) I will absolutely be finishing month 2.0 -

If you have knee issues, be VERY careful with Max Plyo.. I finally had to take it off the schedule and just do one of the others in it's place because of my knee..0 -
thanks i'll watch out for it0

Just finished M2 Day 2 and felt like I came into today's workout a couch potato. M2D1 wasn't so horrible bad, but oh my, M2D2 was awful, yet I have this uncanny want to defeat the video and take Shaun T down. Does anybody else just love to hate that man? I wish I had some TV bricks to throw at him at times, but when it is all over, I can't wait to push play again to have him push me to my limits all over again.0

OMG! You guys are making me nervous about the second month. I'm on day 22. Like many others I have not lost any weight during the first month but I've gotten stronger and have much more energy. I feel great!0
-
Just finished M2D2...brutality at its finest lol. The Max Circuit from yesterday was intense also, but it was easier than today's Max Plyo by a long shot. Although it just started, I'm really enjoying this month so far. The moves are alot of fun, I think my favorite at this point would be the floor hops, squat push ups, and the jump hooks. Least favorite: side pushups...whose idea was it to incorporate these? lol. All in all, loving the challenge and looking forward to the results at the end of the month0
-
I remember how nervous I was about month 2. It def takes it up a notch, but by now ur body should be conditioned for it. I had great results during both months, but I developed my abs more in month 2. Hang in there, IT"S WORTH IT!!!!0

Thanks, I needed to hear this. I can see and feel my body changing, but that stubborn scale won't acknowledge it! I am not giving up!!!0 -
Only 4 more days to go in M2 of all this insanity. Honestly, it has been worth every bit of sweat put into it. Some weight has come off during M2, but what I haven't dropped in weight I have gained in my strength. The fit test shows amazing results. On the flip side, I am ready for a change. Any good ideas of what to do next? I am mostly familiar with the beach body routines, but know something else has got to be out there for a good tough cardio workout.0

My favorite month. Max Plyo beats anything else for a workout. Gotta love it.0

I'm on day 3 of Month two and it's definitely a killer. I was doing fine with month one and towards the end I was pretty much keeping up with the people in the video but once I did that first day of Max Interval Circuit it really broke me to the point where I was only able to do the warmup of the following day's workout due to extreme soreness and muscle failure and ended up needing to take a day's rest before re-attempting it. I lost 15lbs and about 2 belt notches on month #1 by the way. 10 lbs to go!.0

Monumental day for me. Joined myfitnesspal, joined this fine group and started day 1 of month 2. I feel like I did day 1 month 1 lol. I am like most posts I have read. Have lost inches but little weight. 3 lbs total loss through month one. It is refreshing to know the majority of results comes in month 2. Gigantic wheeeeew. I have been modifying due to a bad back as I have gone through the various workouts. Instead of jumping I do squats, and basically have turned my insanity into a fairly low impact workout. It hurts like hell to jump (more like land) so I limit that as much as possible. Month two sounds like it will behell. A hell I am looking forward to in a twisted sort of way lol. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you and learning from your experiences as I go.0

Nice job so far. Max Plyo is my favorite Insanity workout. After I got through a couple times I started counting total pushups. You will be shock what you accomplish in a 55 minute workout. Keep up the hard work. You won't be sorry.0
-
Super discouraged, started month 2 yesterday and loved max interval circuit. Today was max plyo and I just watched it, didn't even do 10%.
Hoping it's just a bad day, not a sign it's too hard.0 -
Month 2 is def a killer. I am doing a P90x/Insanity hybrid, but when I was doing the regular 60 days it was the worst ...lol. I was sore all the time.The results def come more in month 2. I think I lost approximately 2-3 lbs in month 1. Its very hard to measure because of the water weight gain you will experience makes it difficult to get an accurate read. However, you will start to look more lean and defined in month 2. Push through..I still get killed doing the workouts even though i have completed Insanity, Asylum 1 and 2, and the Insanity/Asylum hybrid. Max interval is my favorite. Max plyo is cool, but I hate all the pushups. Good luck everyone!0
-
Whoa! I feel awesome, attempt 2 at max plyo and while I needed to modify some of the moves I DID IT! Can't wait to be able to crank out ALL those pushups!0
-
Be careful with all the push-ups especially if shoulder problems run in the family. I had to start reducing my push-up load because of unhealthy pain in my shoulder, but simply did some one my knees to modify. My favorite for month 2 is pure cardio. I love that one the most. I love that feeling at the end of not wanting to do anything more and looked forward to the next day. Shaun T is a beast in Insanity.
Keep working hard at it and just do what you can do and each time you will do more. If you are doing it with friends, it will make it much harder to not do the workouts as everyone keeps each other in check and someone will push "play". (At least that is how it works with my workout buddies.)
Have Fun!0 -

Good luck! I'm in Week 2 of Month 2...ouch. But, what do you mean you have no idea how to eat right?0 -
I do the max interval plyo workout today after work. I made the mistake of watching it first so I know it's going to be a killer! The workout yesterday left me in a pile of sweat, so I know this one is going to be bad! Oh, it hurts so good!! :happy:0
