Official Women's Insanity Group. "Time to Change"

Day 45 tomorrow! Bring it, Max Interval Plyo.

So I started Insanity on July 18 and while it's been really HARD I must admit it's getting easier and I'm enjoying the workouts...I still have a LOONNGG way to go and I've been strugglng with my eating which is why I felt when I first saw my "progress" pics...that I was seeing no progress at all and was feeling a bit discouraged...but on closer look I think I'm seeing small changes in my upper back and it's given me motivation to keep going...not just with the workouts but to seriously improve my eating so that the next two weeks will be even more successful...was kinda ashamed to post these but I've learnt here to celebrate even super-duper-tiny steps...not giving up!!! What do you guys think?

P.S. Please excuse the "less than attractive" outfits :ohwell: and extreme sweatiness in the "after" pics...that was just after a workout...

way to go nikig7, to have visible changes in 2 weeks is fantastic. I see it in upper back and obliques. Looks like you have a very strong core. I didn't take pics but I lost 2 pounds in the first week and 2 pounds in the second week. I am happy with that. Having said that, time to press play!

Week 5 day 4. Lets goooo!! :drinker:

Thanks...it's what's keeping me motivated...really gonna do better with my eating these next two weeks and push through to see what happens...my plan is to take new shots every two weeks as part of my progress tracking...week 3 starts today!

Day 21 in a few hours! A third of the way through yaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy! No more movement on the scales but i feel more compact! Think I'm going to try and hold out til Day 28 to weigh in again!

I did Sport Training from the deluxe pack to shake things up a bit, Shaun T is sooo flipping hilarious in this video - he's practically dancing! Hard video but a lot of fun too I look forward to doing it again soon!

week 3 day 5 cardio power and resistance. I felt stronger in this workout today, the time went by very quickly. It still kicked my butt but I feel really good. Hope everyone is enjoying it as much as I am.

Almost done with week 7! Core cardio and balance tomorrow.

Ok so I did insanity for a week and then I havent done it at all this week... but I need to start doing it again but I feel tired all the time...

How much are you eating? Maybe you need to eat a bit more for extra energy.

Try sticking to the morning workouts for at least 2-3 weeks at least every other day. Make the committment and you may realize that after the first 5 min. warm-up you feel great...amazingly. I get up at 4:30 so I can get my workout and shower in before having to wake the kids up at 6:00 to get them on the bus. Then I eat breakfast and head out the door to work by 7:30 a.m. There is noooo way I'd have the energy after work and after picking the kids up from childcare after work, there is dinner to make and homework to do...plus their sports activities and as a teacher there are always conferences and meetings at the end of the day. My husband and I switch off every other morning working out but since he leaves for work by 6:30, I really am the go to person for getting the kids ready and off to school. By 8 p.m. I am drifting off and never have trouble sleeping. I am NOT a morning person and it is REALLY hard to roll out of bed to go do Insanity workouts or a hard run at the gym so early but I know it is my only option so I just do it. When I get to the gym there are always people who are leaving when I'm arriving so that fixes my feeling pity for myself : ) I also try to get my hardest, longest workouts in on the weekends when I have more time but still get up early. I prefer working out when my kids are sleeping so I don't feel guilty about the time it takes me away from family. I only do the Insanity workouts 1-2 days a week. The other 3-4 days I do intense running (either treadmill or outside), and a day of 40 mile road-biking. I am backing off the weight training as I have a lot of muscle mass I just don't need or want. Once you do about 3 minutes of the warm-up on Insanity it is easy to continue...not sure why but it is true.

Hi there
Im new to this but I thought I would join as I have just ordered my Insanity workout set and will start it Monday. A bit nervous as I have heard its one of the hardest workouts to follow. So do people have any tips with how to stay motivated and does it really work.
Anyways thanks for listening.

I did the same thing.

Today is Week2, Day 4 for me. I'm not losing as much weight as I would like to. I only lost a pound last week, but I can see improvements in my body. 'm going to skip my cardio recovery days (like today) and replace them with REAL workouts like Zumba

Going to start this again. After long days at work was too tired so going to try starting in the morning

Um....i'm starting Insanity for the first time tomorrow. o.o kind of scared but excited. any advice?

hold up... there is an official women's insanity group?! i want in!
