    Aletadiana, if you want a really great article about steady state/interval training, look here:

    http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/stead-state-versus-intervals-finally-a-conclusion.html

    There are at least 4 more articles on that side, addressing this topic. They are well worth reading. Oh well - EVERYTHING on that site is worth reading. Enjoy!

    Oh boy, let the PMs come for askin' where I've been. First off, Aletadiana, I remember seeing and email you sent me about macros. I can't remember the details since my inbox has no email in it.....Wonder if MyFitnessPal erases mail after a set day limit? I'm curious to see the results of those I started with. I can't remember if y'all are done or about to be within a week. The reason I had lost activity in the Insanity was due to multiple things (yes, I know. NO excuse.):
    1. I had started working in Construction around....week 4 I think we were on, had waterlogged feet since I didn't have proper workboots. Believe me though, I tried working out with that condition, hurt like heck y'all. At the time, I didn't realize my feet were waterlogged.
    2. My Insanity discs went missing for awhile, yet I managed to borrow a neighbors until I finally found mine again.
    3. Then, by the time my feet healed up enough to manage the workouts, I was already a week and a half behind, I just felt down about bein' left behind so far and I kind of....hung it on the shelves. As for not being online, since it obviously doesn't require my feet, just got busy with work and summer, and without the exercise regimen screamin' at me, I wasn't reminded to hop on here.

    With my nonexcuses out of the way, I''m wondering for those of you who started in the group I was in, how is the Program treating y'all so far? Good Results? Also, SleeplessinBerlin, I was wonderin' if you were gonna make a Thread where people can post their final Results alongside their Day 1?

    Currently, I'm curious for y'alls input on me and working out. Right now, Summer is coming to a close in about a month. I want to pick back up the exercise regimen. Should I restart Insanity alone Is there another support group like this one? I really liked this group, maybe do a Hybrid with P90X currently, I can't find a hybrid support group? or Join the P90X group that I think Sleepless may have hinted on. My School schedule will be a Tuesday/Thursday Schedule from 8AM-9PM, I do have about a 4 hour break in between my classes, so exercising on those days isn't a problem.

    Edit: After reading the actual forumns, it seems y'all have indeed finished. For those of you who still frequent this group. Congrats to y'all! Glad y'all stuck with it!

    Hi Chasero, how good to know that you are okay. I wondered what happened. Yes, MPF does remove old PMs, that's why you are not seeing them anymore.

    Most people here who were reporting daily completed Insanity. I still have 6 workouts to to, because I was in Finland in the meantime, but I will be finished by the end of the coming week.
    I might start a final thread with final results so that everyone who wants to can post the final results. But most people reported "on the way" and I feel that our experiences were similar. We all got stronger. We all felt that our bodies changed. We didn't lose much weight but we did lose inches. Some changes were subtle and not measurable.

    As for you, there are a few large groups with people doing Insanity, P90X or both (one of them is called P90X/Insanity - The Game Changers), there is a large beachbody support group as well. I started this group because I wanted a smaller group of dedicated people starting the program at approximately the same time. But if you look around the forums you will see that many folks either just started out or plan to start soon. There are a few threads. You can do the same thing I did in May which was creating my own group and inviting all those scattered people to one place like this.

    3 of us plan to start or started Chalean Extreme, which is much like P90X but with shorter workouts. If I had more time, I would think about a Insanity/P90X Hybrid now.
