Hey! Just finished Pure Cardio as well. I must agree Shalla, I liked it way better than Plyo and Cardio Power. It's intense and insane but it's fun. It was also nice to see the trainers struggling with it...and Shaun T being scared of it lol! Those Level 2 drills are killers though!
One more day to complete week 1!!

I can't believe you both thought that was easier! Well done both. I think at one point I thought I may throw up! The drills are so difficult wth no rest period. Looking forward to completing week 1 - when are people weighing in/measuring up?0

Don't get me wrong...it wasn't easy, I just enjoyed it more than the other two workouts. I was dying doing 15 minutes with no breaks but I stopped a few times just like the trainers did to catch my breath/drink/stretch out my muscles. As for weighing in, I'm in a challenge where we weigh in on Mondays so I'll do it then. Measurements will be done every two weeks on the same day I do the fit test.0

LOL it wasn't real easy just easier than the other ones we've done so far. I'm also looking forward to our official 1 week of Insanity! As far as weighing in.. I would like to weigh in every two weeks but I can't always count on that because of course we all have our TOM so I guess we'll see. Measurements about the same I suppose.0

Just completed Day 4 - Cardio Recovery. I did a spinning class first so I really enjoyed the stretching afterwards.0

Day 6 of Insanity COMPLETE! I'm so proud of myself for how hard I worked today on Plyometric Cardio Circuit. I did way better than the first time. I sweated more. Took less breaks. I did more of the ins and outs, the oblique work where you bring your legs in and out then in on the other side. Did more of the circuit where we do the pushups and runs. I'm all around satisfied! I'm starting to really like how my arms are getting stronger already. I was on my arms way more this time around. I'm excited for our rest day tomorrow. I'm still going to workout just so I stay active.
I have a question for you guys. Are you eating 5 times a day? Do you feel like you are constantly hungry? LOL, because let me tell you ever since Day 2 I'm always hungry. Since I don't have much of anything that I usually like to eat like eggs which I do multiple things with; with Tuna, chicken breasts in a can etc. I have found myself just throwing stuff together like last night I couldn't find anything to really eat so I thawed out a chicken breast and a few pieces of shrimp. Took out some spaghetti sauce and shredded colby jack cheese. Pan fried the chicken in a little water, threw the shrimp in then the sauce and cheese. It was so good! I was like why didn't I do this sooner? LOL, It probably would be good with Pasta too but I don't like eating Pasta like ever... Okay I need to go shower now I'm sweating over my keyboard.0 -
Just finished Day 6! My body is definitely getting stronger and more used to these workouts. Plyo was much easier the second time around. Like Shalla, I found myself resting waaayyy less and being able to do more of the moves. The push-ups still go way too fast but I was able to push harder with the in-and-outs and the side to side oblique work. It's great to see such improvement in so little time Looking forward to a day off from Insanity tomorrow!
@Shalla I do feel I am more hungry sometimes which sucks because it means I'm eating a bit more than before. But it's week one so I'm justifying it as my body getting used to being pushed hard. I'm still under my cal goal everyday so it's all good.
I was wondering if anyone else is noticing water retention (at least I hope that's what it is). Especially the first day or two, I felt so swollen in my belly, arms, legs. I feel less swollen now but still a bit bloated in the belly. I think there will be a gain on the scale which I guess is normal considering I just started a new program. What do you guys think/what has your experience been?
Enjoy your weekend guys!! WE ARE DONE WEEK 1 0 -
Insanity on a Saturday night we must be mad!! Well done all for completing week 1 - it feels so good knowing the first week is over! I agree with you both I felt like I could push harder this time round and took less rest periods. Looking forward to a day off, thinking of doing yoga tomorrow to keep myself active but still enjoy the rest from insanity.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend all and feel good that week 1 insanity is complete, see you all for week 2!
Lets bring it!!0 -
Hmm, yeah I think that's normal. I have a few friends on here that does insanity and said that they gained weight but it should melt off in the second month. I'm bloated but I'm not sure if it's because of Insanity or TOM maybe a little of both? LOL. Cheers to the freaking weekend! Haha0

How are you all posting your exercise?0

I have been kind of bad with my eating this week.....meaning I am not eating as often as I would like. Once Spring Break is over I think I can get back to a normal schedule. I do try to eat 6 small meals a day. I am not a big eater so tonight I had 1c collards and a turkey burger! good enough for me. Later!0

Completed Day 5 (Pure Cardio) today and woke up to a 2 lb loss on the scale. This week I upped my calories about 300 more than I was eating before. I think it really helped to add the extra calories and start doing Insanity. I've felt sore every day but I'm ok with that. I haven't been sore from my other gym workouts so this just shows that my muscles are working.0
-
Is anyone following the insanity meal plan? I'm wondering whether I need to start??0
-
I'm not following it. I'm just trying to eat as best as I can.0

Day 6 - plyometric cardio circuit done. The last circuit with the ski abs and in and outs was still really hard for me. Looking forward to my day off tomorrow.
In regards to the diet I'm eating about 1600-1700 calories a day of healthy lean meats, fruit and veg (usually about 300-400 calories per meal x 4)0 -
Hiya guys.. I had to start Insanity a week later :frown: So today had been my first day and finished the fit test around an hour ago.
