Starting Insanity on Monday June 3rd

Options
I am currently on day 83 of P90X and I will be starting Insanity on Monday June 3rd.

I am looking for others who are currently doing Insanity or will be starting Insanity soon or who may be interested in Insanity. I host several motivation and support groups. I have one on MFP and several on Facebook. We log our daily workouts in support and motivate one another.

If you are interested let me know. Send me a message, Friend me, Respond here, or do all of the above. I always welcome new friends who are working out to any Team Beachbody Fitness program. I have had awesome results with P90X and I have several friends who have had great results with Insanity. It is always great to share our stories and see how everyone has done.

The link to MFP Team Beachbody motivation and support group is below. If interested joining one of my facebook groups let me know. Have a great day.

    I am definitely interested. I need all the motivation I can get. I have been doing the ten minute trainers by Tony Horton. I ordered Insanity last week and should have it this week.

    I will join all your groups if I can.

    Thanks,
    Becka

    I just got Insanity as a gift. No idea where it was ordered from. I am starting June 4 (I want my off day to be Monday not Sunday).

    1. I usually workout at home barefoot. That okay or should I be wearing sneakers for these workouts?

    2. Does the program include a warm-up or just launch right in assuming you have warmed up on your own? If on your own any suggested warm-ups?

    Would like to join the group on MFP if there is room.

    Awesome!

    I always wear shoes during the workouts. But, if you are able to jump (high) and land without sliding, then you are probably ok.

    There is a warm up with three rounds followed by stretching, then the workout, then stretching again. It is a great warm up.

    Hey All!
    I have completed P90x and went from 250lb to a solid 235. I am 6 ft with a wide chest so I hold my weight really well.
    However after college I have jumped to 290 and ready to shed some goo! If anyone wants to do insanity with me and help each other keep motivated then I think it will make the process easier!

    I want to get down back to my high school wrestling weight at a solid 240. I am going to start my fit test in 2 hours!

    Only thing I am confused about is that taking 3800 calories seems like a lot. I know I'm a big guy but it still seems a lot. Any advice on this would be great!

    Thanks,
    Drew

    Thanks for joining the group. I noticed you asked the above questions in my group. I answered both questions there for you.

    Glad I found this group. I also plan to start Insanity on June 3rd. I've completed it before, took a long break from it & I think it's time to start again. I will definitely need the motivation.

    Hi!

    I think this is exactly what I need to successfully complete the Insanity program. I have started and failed Insanity 3 times now. THe farthest I have been able to get to was 2 and a half weeks. I would come with all sorts of excuses as to why I couldn't do a video one day, and that one day turned into a week and so on. I think I really need the support and motivation from others going through the same thing. Shaun T has been sitting in a box in my closet for far too long now. I'm way too young to be feeling this old! I need to bring up my fitness level so I can keep up with my 5 year old son and hopefully inspire my husband to jump (or globe jump :wink: ) onto the bandwagon with me.
    I am planning on starting Monday June 3rd.
    Thanks for starting this group! I am looking forward to what the next few weeks have in store for me.

    -K

    P.S. Does anyone know of any other Insanity resources? The more the merrier!

    I use a heart rate monitor and create my own exercise when doing P90X. I will be doing the same with Insanity when I start that on Monday.

    Do you have a heart rate monitor that shows calories burned?

    You will need shoes for sure. The warm up is long and feels like a workout. Insanity is the hardest! So amazing though. I have never done the full 60 days but do the videos in combo with other workouts. They are crazy fun and challenging. Good luck.
