Hey!

So Im just wondering whether or not people add other exercises to the insanity plan. I started ripped in 30 the same day I started insanity so I've been working out quite a bit for the past three/four days.
Does anyone else do this?
IS this a good/bad idea?

    With Insanity I also did some free weight exercises with 10-12 lbs weights for my arms!
    I have never done the 30 day shred so I dont know how intense of a workout it is.
    Just make sure you are taking in enough food for energy.

    Yeah, my plan is to do two exercises a day if I'm not too exhausted from Insanity. I'm supplementing Insanity with Turbo Fire, Zumba classes at the gym or any dvd I have at home (low impact like walk away the pounds and bellydance)! So far, I've done three days with insanity + another exercise and two days with just insanity. I think as long as we're moving (and doing insanity as scheduled), we'll be good to go :)

    What are yall classifying Insanity as on here when filling out your exercise records for the day? I don't know what to put it under to get an accurate count of calories burned.

    I use a Heart rate monitor and name all my Insanity workouts and put amount of time and calories burned from my HRM!! Its definitely worth getting one!!! What day are you on Keshia??

    I made it to day 7 but then I stopped. :( Its so hard! lol. I plan on starting back Monday from day 1, and including the meal plan with it!
    Thanks for the idea! I really need to get a HRM!

    Yes do it! It gets easier everyday (or you get stronger, whichever way works for you).
