kicking off week 3 
Meant to do the second fit test tonight - can someone remind me how long it is? I get home at 5.20, and donate blood at 6.40... tryin' to work out whether I have time to have a shower and calm my heart rate down before donating
I never have any problems, I'm one of those people who dont have any reaction to donating luckily so that's not worrying me. Might leave tomorrow's Plyometric Cardio Circuit til the evening though, rather than 6am

Well done Katie! I did mine this morning and whilst I did worse on suicide jumps, I got dizzy jumping a lot, I think from donating blood last night so I slowed it right down. getting so much stronger on the low plank obliques though. We rock!

Globe Jumps 7 7

Oh and randomly - some measurements gone down, some gone up! Right thigh and calf increased by 2cm and 1cm, and the others lost by about 1cm. Also gone up 3lb, so we'll see how it goes by the end of the month 0

Nice work everyone! I have my fit test tomorrow, and taking measurements tomorrow morning as well! Is it normal to not see any results in measurements in the first 15 days?0

OW I've done something painful to my right inner leg sort of area...not pulled a muscle, it feels like a joint or tendon is in the wrong place. Can't lift my left leg up at all or take big steps. Looked light a right muppet getting into the car!
Plyo this morning couldn't do knee lifts, mountain climbers, or plank runs, so I just did tiny movements for the first two and lunge skis for the last...there're stairs at work so I'm climbing like a baby, one step at a time!
On other forums I've seen it mentioned that there isn't much of a difference in the first month :-/ maybe if you were doing similar activites before, you'd stay similar?0 -
Did you know? Doing intense interval workouts that involve raising the heart rate (above threshold) and then recovering can increase metabolism.
So this week, focus on getting your heart rate up during the intervals and push yourself a little harder!0 -

Hey we are on the same day!!! Sweet!!! I have fit test today too! My personal goal for fit test is to see if i can do some of the exercises better. I know for a fact that my switch kicks were not very high at all so i'm going to use this fit test today and my true start for some of the exercises like switch kicks. I'm so happy to find someone that's on the same day!!! This is so awesome!!!
Jess0 -
I'm only one day ahead of you Jess! same here too - the switch kicks I counted were no where near as high as they were doing so improvement is the focus
Good luck for your fit test!0 -
Thanks! I just finished fit test and I am so impressed! I got a new more accurate count on my switch kicks which were way more powerful and higher and everything else improved. I also found that i didn't feel like i was going to die for 10 minutes after lol, i really enjoyed the stretching this time rather that trying to still just be able to breathe so i'm definitely stronger.
my pushup jacks are way stronger too as i can get down almost to the floor.
So happy with my fit test! Onward and upward!0 -
Pure cardio this morning and I wish I had a mute button for when Sean T is saying how 'scared he is for what's coming' but ignoring him works :P I altered the press jacks for just presses and switch kicks for just alternate leg raises, to accommodate my groin/leg weirdness but it'll be back to normal soon!0

Some weekly MOTIVATION for you guys: Its Day 4 of Week 3 for most of us.
Have fun with your INSANITY Wall Calendar and check off each day as you go along. It's a fun way to chart your progress and keep you motivated. (OR try to photo copy it if you want the original to stay new).0 -
I am disappointed. I had to skip last nights workout. I am so exhausted. When I did Plyo on Tuesday I was a sloppy mess. I figured it was better to take a break than to do things incorrectly and injure myself. Anyone else feeling super exhausted? I have to workout late at night. I think that is what is happening, I am tired when I start because its 9:30 at night. Then I get hyped up from the workout and can't fall asleep until 11:30 or midnight. I am not getting enough sleep. 6 hours is not enough while doing this intense workout. My hubby and I are trying to figure out how to fit it in earlier in the evening. It may mean we don't do it together. I love the motivation of someone doing it with me though. Hmmm....0

It actually sounds like that is the issue. you need a min. 7 hrs but its recommended to get 8hrs of sleep per night. I know when I don't get enough I feel exhausted and I usually bonk out and have to take a nap....which never makes me feel good. Try to see what you can do because sleep is also very important!0 -
I'm getting up earlier in the morning to do each session and if I'm not in bed, almost asleep by 10pm I really struggle in the morning. I struggled through Cardio recovery this morning, I just didnt have the strength to hold the squatted bounces let alone the tiptoe version, and I had about 6 hours sleep so I think it's related too
Good idea skipping one sesh, get yourself refreshed and nap-ready for the next one!0 -
I hope everyone is doing alright! I totally nailed my Cardio Core and Balance session! I think after tomorrow I'm going to look after my nutrition some more. I really need to find better choices! Also I think my favorite move so far are the push up jacks! I can't believe I can even pull them off, and especially after so many other moves in the routine! I'm kinda fired up about tomorrow really. After sunday I get to see what month two is all about!
TTYL!0 -
Hi everyone, I'm a bit behind you all. Week 2 day 2 today. I did my fitness test yesterday and I was mega surprised. The killer is the push up jacks!!! They are sooooo hard, I don't know how I can improve on those numbers, but I am sure to possible.
Swich kicks - 64-67
Power jacks - 52-66
Power knees -107-115
Power jumps -33-63
Globe jumps-10-12
Suicide jumps12-14
Push up jacks -2-5
Low plank oblique -45 -70
Can I ask what heart rate monitor /watch everyone is using? I just bought Garmin 110 forerunner. I think it may be a little off for calorie counting. As after 40 minutes of nearly killing myself doing cardio circuit, it said I had burnt 266 calls. Perhaps I need to invest in a different watch...
How does everyone count the calories for the InsNity workout if you don't have a watch?0 -
Just did Cardio power and resistance and it was awesome, think it's my favourite session! Makes SUCH a difference doing it at 11am rather than 6am too. Having rest tomorrow then plyo on monday to continue into week 4, as I wont be at home at all tomorrow.
BRING ON WEEK 4!
and Hi Chicken! I'm using TDEE-20% for my cals, into 40/30/30 carbs fat and protein so I don't log Insanity burned cals,sorry I cant help 0 -
You've conquered Week 3! (or you will after todays workout is complete). Hopefully by now you are starting to feel stronger and getting through the workouts more easily. This may be a time when you are looking to the scale to see those results. Many people who are not seeing the scale move fast enough resort to eating less to accelerate weight loss. That is not the best decision. Continue to follow the Nutrition Guide; because you are working out so hard, you need more calories than you did previously to fuel your workouts!
Rememberer that the scale is NOT to best way to track progress its measurements and achieving MORE in the workout that you should be looking to for success. Enjoy the weekend and your rest day tomorrow. You EARNED it!
I am SO proud of you guys for getting this far. You have a no quit attitude and its amazing and inspiring.0 -
Just did Plyo and another workout (CLX Burn 3/Lifting). I dont know which I like better Plyo or Power/Resistance. Either way I am spent and it feels so great. I can not believe we only have 1 more week of this then recovery week. WOW! We are so DOING THIS!0
-
took my rest day yesterday, then starting this with the last sesh of week 4 to carry on through week 4. It just worked better that way!
What do we do during recovery week then?0 -
Just did Plyo, last session of Week3, and carry on tomorrow with Week4. I had rest on Sunday and Monday because I was shattered so I wont rest tomorrow!
WHOOP Ready for Week 4 folks!0
