    Did the insanity upper body workout for the first time last night! Could barely lift my coffee cup this morning.

    Now after working 7am till 5pm I've got pure cardio and cardio abs. Might switch with tomorrow tbh...

    I'm on week 6 of P90x after several years of not having a regular exercise routine. This is just the first step in a long road to getting healthy again. I've seen results too and made milestones like being able to do the Wheel Pose (a back arch) during Yoga. Keep up the good work!

    Yeah, look on YouTube! I enjoyed it simply cos it's something new. I think it was about 45 mins.

    It's one of the "bonus" DVD's in the deluxe workout.

    I just started Insanity yesterday! I thought I was in fairly good shape, but I was completely winded and sore after the fit test. I'm hoping to improve a lot though. :o)

    I did Insanity back in October for a month straight...and strayed from the path as Thanksgiving came around. I am now starting Insanity all over again today. Wish me luck! Looking to lose 30-40 pounds by July for my wedding.

    You're almost half way there. Keep up the good work!

    You feel sore because it worked! Drink plenty of water, don't skip the stretching, and press play everyday, you'll feel much better after a week!

    Do you think someone should start Insanity if they are out of shape?? Im 43 years old and havent been working out but I figured I would do what I could and leave it at that. What do you all think??

    I was waaaaayyyy out of shape when I started P90X this past October. If you haven't been working out or have much cardio exercise, I would recommend P90X :) You work out 6 days a week. 3 out of the 6 days you do resistance training like weight lifting and stuff and the other 3 days are cardio. It's one of the best fitness programs ever invented. Ping me if you have any questions, I can help you get started :)

    Yesterday was Cardio Recovery. Instead of doing that, I did Chest Shoulders and Triceps plus biceps. Gotta work those muscles!

    i made the banana blue berry pancakes with egg beaters. I think it was a little tastier with a real egg, but still good, so an egg white would probably be a little better. you can also put cinnamon in it.

    @paxfaux - that sounds delicious!

    Tonight is Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs for me. Pure Cardio alone is intense enough. I'm not sure if how well I would handle the cardio abs right after the main workout. Has anyone done that before?

    think thats how most people do it to be honest with you.

    its not as bad as you might think. and its worth just getting it over with. i just hate how you do a little jumping around warm up before the ab work

    the asylum/insanity hybrid will sometimes have you do a full insanity workout and a full asylum workout same day. those i didn't do back to back lol.

    saw a teenage chick on here is doing insanity and p90x at the same time, not a hybrid, both programs. well she said she was doing pure cardio and back and bis today anyway, maybe it was just a one day thing.

    some guy has a p90x/insanity group that i joined. he asked me to leave because i wouldn't sign him up as a coach lol. thats by far the worst thing about BB if you ask me.
