Well - I'm going to say it but that was a....'nice'....workout, I must be mad thinking any work out is nice, but after all the cardio jumping about its nice to something a little more controlled. I must say I'm looking forewaard to the ab workout, I'm probably going to try do them back to back and get them out the way.
I think we're al doing amazing, well done guys.
And the weather is cold and raining here in the UK!!!

Ok Shalla I wont rub this awesome weather in your face any more lol
Glad you guys enjoyed it I prefer cardio than stretching, this feels like rest day "I did it" but for me I find it boring. :sad:
:drinker: yay full speed ahead. Fit Test in 4 days!!0 -
good morning everyone! It is rainy and much cooler here today. I am glad that week 2 is just about over two work outs to go. I have to admit i am a little discouraged that I have not lost any weight:sad: :sad: I have been working my tail off in these workouts and still have not seen any results but sore knees. I have to admit my left knee has been giving me trouble but I am working through it. (not because of Insanity) I did lose inches from thighs and hips I guess I can be happy about that. Maybe I need to decrease calorie intake. What do you all think??
I also got my Wednesday and Thursday mixed up this week. but still got the work outs done. I did my recovery on Wednesday vs on Thursday anywho Im sure that is not the reason I am not losing. Are you all losing weight yet? Are you following the eating plan? I am doing clean eating but I am only eating about 3-4 times a day.
Oh just though yall should know my sister inlaw is on Beachbody.com flash ad for Ten Minute trainer! How cool is that! When I first saw her in the infomercial I was like "whoa that looks like sis" and it was. lol her results are real! She and her husband are now coaches for Beach Body.0 -
Well I personally think losing inches is way better than losing weight, the weight will go later. Get of that scale, the scale only calculate weight loss not muscle gain and inch loss. I am not weighting till Mon. I am horrible with diet so all i'll say is burn more than you take in. Ps My right knee gives me trouble at times so I too have to watch my movements.I have to admit i am a little discouraged that I have not lost any weight:sad: :sad: I have been working my tail off in these workouts and still have not seen any results but sore knees.

I need you to stop focusing on losing and focus more on getting fit. If you follow the workout and eat clean you will see changes and the weight will eventually start falling off. Most people have said they started seeing results in the 2nd month and close to the end. I need to work on my eating, I don't follow the plan, food is always my downfall so I have to work on than.I also got my Wednesday and Thursday mixed up this week. but still got the work outs done.

That's pretty cool and i'm happy to know those coaches are regular everyday people who got fit with the workout! Just keep working hard and stay off the scale. It's "get fit" not "get light"Oh just though yall should know my sister inlaw is on Beachbody.com flash ad for Ten Minute trainer! How cool is that! her results are real!

I totally agree. You shouldn't be scale dependent. Don't get discouraged because your not losing lbs. Many things could be going on in the body that we have no idea about. Fat turning into muscle, inches lost, BMI going down, Fat % going down. All of these things are much more important than the number on the scale. Remember muscle weighs more than fat.
I'm also not following the eating plan. I'm just trying to eat the best I can. I haven't weighed myself in weeks. Even before I started Insanity. I'm not worried about anything. Just give you best in all areas and you will see results. Just have to be patient with your body. The body is going to do what it wants. We just have to be good to it and in return it'll be good to us.
I also, have knee problems. A few years ago I tore a legiment and it hasn't been the same since. That's not what's bothering me though it's my Hip Flexor on my left side that won't stop hurting. So I can't do all the jumping like I want to.
CHEERS TO DAY 12!0 -
thanks for that pep talk! lol Lets get it!0

WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!0

Day 12 Cardio Power and Resistance COMPLETE! I feel really good because even though my hip flexor is hurting I did so many of the Power Jumps. It was refreshing for me. Feel like I became a live again. Ahhh, such a great feeling! Still a bit confused on the foot movement for the moving push-ups. I say in-and-out to try to remind myself. Almost 2 weeks done!0
-
I did day 10 Plyometric Cardio Circuit but I was not happy about it. I really lacked the energy to keep up with the circuit today. I did it but not with as much excitement as the other days. Hopefully having a recovery day tomorrow will help recharge me.0

Just finished Day 12 Cardio Power & Resistance. Had to take a little break in between the warm up and stretching...my stomach was cramping and I was having trouble properly breathing while exercising with the cramps. BUT once that settled it was a great workout. Really loving the improvements....more power & endurance which equals less resting
Last chance workout tomorrow before the fit test Monday! Excited to try out Cardio Abs for the first time. Keep up the good work everybody!!! 0 -
Well Friday workout is complete, I did it at 11pm but I got it complete, I must admit I'm finding the workouts harder as I go along, not what I was expecting and working out on a Friday it just insane. Usually I would stuff my face on a Friday, instead I'm doing insanity - oh the joys of the weekend
If your not losing weight but you're losing inches, remember a lb of muscle takes up less room the a lb of fat, therefore the scale may stay the same but you lose inches.
I've gotten into the mindset of I'm not bothered about what I way as long as I'm happy with the way I look. If I wasw to stay at the weight I am now but more toned and defined it wouldn't bother me!
Well done all week 2 nearly over. Bring on week 3!!!0 -
:blushing: Good job ladies :flowerforyou:
I just completed day 12
1 more workout and then it's Rest Day :happy:0 -
Sat April 13 (((PURE CARDIO & CARDIO ABS)))
Are you ladies ready to work those abdominal muscles?
When I was much younger and my mother would accidentally burn me with the hot comb she would say "through pain comes beauty" :grumble: lol
So dig deep and push through! :glasses:0 -
Just finished Day 13 Pure Cardio + Cardio Abs.
:noway: Is it just me or did Pure Cardio seem harder today than the other days we did it? :huh:
Cardio Abs- Tuck jumps gah! WTF Shaun T then Wide Tuck Jumps? I was doing good until we got into the C position. That's when the pain in my Hip Flexor kicked in. I couldn't raise my left leg at all. I even tried putting my hand under it. It's so frustrating. I did the best I could though. Hopefully next time it'll be better.
I'm tired. Glad our rest day is tomorrow. Going to try do to some yoga or something to help with my hip flexor. What are you guys going to do for your rest day?0 -

Just got done, hope your hip feels better next time. I like the cardio and the ab workout, i'm just not too fund of having both feet off the ground at the same time
Rest day? hmm Idk now that it's warm I want to get back into jogging, I might have to start off walking so I may walk or maybe i'll go to the basement and play with weights.0 -
@Shalla I have to agree I really wasn't feeling it today. For me I just really didn't want to be working out (more mentally I guess). Hope you're feeling better soon! I'm sure the rest from Insanity will do you some good tomorrow!
Just finished the two workouts and it really wasn't that bad back to back. People I spoke to made it sound like it was going to be near impossible. That C-sit is definitely a workout on the abs though. I could barely do the one where you have to take both feet off the floor and bend in-out-up-down.
So so so glad for a rest day from Insanity tomorrow. I can't wait to see how much I've improvement on the fit test next week!
Enjoy your weekend everybody!0 -
:flowerforyou: Happy Sunday!!:flowerforyou: It's the last day of week 2 ladies, it's (((REST DAY))):drinker:
Enjoy it while it last just remember you step on the scale and break out the tape measure in the morning.

Since this group is supposed to be accountability, I'll go ahead and just put it out there....my husband and I missed/skipped the Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs day (gasp!). We aren't skipping over it, we are just going to do it tonight instead of having done it on Saturday as scheduled...so I will be a day behind everyone else.
I hate missing a workout, but I am not going to let it drag me down. Back on the wagon tonight with Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs! Wish me luck! 0 -
