I just finished this one for the second time and I feel like really improved over the first time I did it! When my heart rate started to creep up to the low 170's, I dialed it back a bit. I'm not sore anymore either so that definitely helps. What did everyone else think for the second time around?

I thought it was a bit easier as well! I just hope the boredom doesn't set in too quickly from the repetitive routines.0

I liked the fact that I had to take fewer breaks!!! That totally pumped me up. Then today I did the Cardio Plyometrics one...and same thing.. less breaks = more calories burned! I was so excited! I hit an all time high for calorie burn tonight!!! My endurance is building because I can go longer before my HRM alarm starts to sound off... I can take a lesser break too... so again.. more calories burned! This Insanity just keeps getting me more and more excited and looking forward to it more and more.
I didn't take the "rest day" on Sunday because I am trying to move it out to Fridays - so no break for me yet. I do know that the body needs a break and that's why the rest days are there. But I only sleep roughly 4ish hours a night on weekdays and by Friday I am exhausted. I have been working out with other things for over a year and have learned that when you are tired, that is when injuries happen. So hoping to have my schedule adjusted for my schedule this week. Important to get that down before we start the brutal month 2

I took yesterday off. I know I took two rest days but those double days of spin and Insanity KILLED ME! I enjoyed this today. My heart rate was up and I burned more calories than the last time! I also was able to do a few of the tricep dips...before NO WAY. I also got faster and had more endurance. I stopped more but for less time :-) Excited to see the fit test results in a week! WOOHOO!0
