All I can say is, I am on Day 3, and I am addicted. I find myself getting up early to see what is coming up next! He keeps you guessing and motivated! I think you will love!0

Expect to be sore the first week. Don't get discouraged if you have to take frequent breaks initially. Don't freak out if the scale goes up a few lbs the first couple of weeks--there is a lot of swelling in the large muscles due to eccentric loading (which is what plyometric moves really do), and that extra fluid adds to the scale. Take photos--take start pictures, and then 30 and 60 day pics.
Make sure you have like minded people to support you, that's really helpful on the days when you don't want to push play. Is this your first beachbody program?
I'm excited for you, Insanity is AWESOME. I'm on day 40 tomorrow and lovin' it!
Feel free to PM if you have any questions. Can't wait to hear about your first fit test!0 -

Hi Amolina
I am also starting on Friday . Have done the fitness test and a bit of the first workout so I can get a taste of what to expect and its awesome. Sweaty, but awesome. I just need to find a bit of a bigger space and hope the neighbours downstairs dot mind my jumping around at 530am for a few days
Keep in touch, would be ace to hear how you get on too, so glad I found this group - as it definitely helps for extra motivation!
Good Luck x0 -
Hi - I started insanity today, round 2. I finished 2 weeks ago and my body was craving for the workouts, so I decided to do round 2.
My suggestion is that you push through the soreness and complete week 1 and day 1 of week 2 - no matter what. After that point, it gets easier and becomes somewhat of a routine, though you still have to push yourself to press 'play'. You will see results by week 3 and calorie burns are incredible, especially if you use a heart rate monitor.
Feel free to add me if you like. For me support and encouragement from MFP frieds was critical in completing.
Good Luck!!!0 -
