    Doug - i had to double up one day as I missed an insanity workout due to holiday and no time. It's not as bad as you think. Just drink plenty of water, don't do both on an empty stomach and just get it done. You'll feel amazing after!!!

    I did my last ever pure cardio and cardio abs workout today. I feel so determined to finish this month on a high, and was pretty determined also to power through! Which I did! No breaks for me today, not even a breather! I feel so proud of my progress as I hated this workout at the beginning of the month but now I can see how far I've come!

    Wow!! Great job! I've thought about doubling up before, but I'm always worried it'll affect my sleep since I get home with only 2-3hrs before bedtime.
    Today was Cardio Recovery. I should have done it yesterday, but I talked myself out of it(beer!!) and had to come in to work. I really should have just done it, it was so low key. But I'm counting yesterday as a rest day and moving forward.

    In Week 2 and I'm doing my first Pure Cardio with Ab's after, I haven't done the ab's portion yet. I'm trying to amp myself up so that I get off the couch and just get it done. Went on a 10 mile hiking trip Saturday and I'm still feeling the effects. Tired tired tired, just trying to get in plenty of water, protein, and sleep.

    I did Insanity for the first time, I did the fit test. I didn't track my numbers cause I was just learning the moves plus I find it hard to count and focus on form. I'm going to try and do Insanity on days when I am not running.
    I just found the first day on youtube.
    How long are most workouts?
    The fittest I did was just 25 minutes, and had alot of breaks, which I liked!

    Welcome to the craziness that is Insanity! :flowerforyou:

    My workouts typically last about 45-60 mins, depending on which workout video I'm working with, and is including all the breaks I have to take.



    On another note, I'm thinking about starting to do my Insanity in the morning, before I start my day, go to work, etc. I would think I'd be going around sore all day thou :grumble: Anyone here do theirs in the morning??

    Month 1 completed!! I finished on my favourite workout today - Plyo Cardio Circuit :) those drills still beat me but it is partly because i'm sweating all over my floor and keep sliding around during ski abs and in and out!!

    So looking forward to my rest day tomorrow and recovery week. I definitely need it!!

    Doug - well done on doubling up!! That **** is bananas yo!! You did great :)

    Welcome to everybody else new here - welcome to the craziness that is Insanity! Just take it a day at a time, break when you need to (don't pause the dvd) focus on form and don't try to keep up with the class!

    Torismith001 - that's awesome! Don't worry about switch kicks, maybe your count wasn't right one of the times? I know I got confused with my counting the first time! Your results are looking great!

    I just started my first day of Insanity (Plyo Cardio) & it's not as bad as I thought. That being said, i didn't go in being out of shape either, so I am positive that helped. But I definitely NEEDED those breaks! :)

    I made sure that I didn't look at my last results before doing this weeks because I knew that once I beat my last goal I would stop. So I was very surprised to see some of my results. My brother walked in after the switch kicks and was telling me to go go go lol so that may be why the others were high compared to the switch kicks

    Just finished Plyo Cardio Circuit. I think its the hardest one so far! I can't help but laugh when doing the jumping jacks the 2nd or 3rd time around. Shaun says "Ready? Jack it out! We start to jack a little faster now!" That whole workout is bananas! And sooo long!

    Closed out Week 1, Day 3 this morning. After finishing up a P90X/Insanity hybrid this feels easy in some ways. I decided to add in the Upper Body Weight Training. It made for a rather long workout. Recovery day tomorrow.
