I started Insanity this last monday. I have done a little bit of it before but am recommitting myself to the whole program. I was wondering if anyone started around the same time and would like to keep eachother accountable.

Stats:
5'7

insanity goals:
SW:178

hoping to be 158 by the end.

I use a HRM and have been kicking butt the last 2 days. Hope some of you will join me on this Butt kickin journey

    I'm starting round 2 on Insanity next Monday, the 17th. I was going to start on the 10th but a nasty case of the stomach flu put a stop to that! Loved doing it the first time so hoping it's even more fun this time!

    FYI...it's not easy to get that shirt! Make sure to keep all your shipping info, your credit card statements, etc because they ask for all that before they'll send you the shirt! And having a beachbody coach to give you advice along the way is really helpful!

    Good luck to all of us!!!

    Hi! I started again on Monday also! Last time I tried it, I only got through 5ish weeks of it and felt amazing. I did it while my husband was deployed and then stopped working out because I went to visit family. I've decided I'm not going to stop this time! I want to get through the entire 60 days!

    Insanity goals-- I just want to be fit! I don't really know how many pounds it's going to take to get me there. :/

    Excited that there are others that started the same day and we can motivate each other! Add me.:)

    Hey! I also started on Monday! Just finished day 3 and I LOVE the workouts! I'm sweating like crazy! I totally need to buy a HR monitor so I know what I'm burning because I have no clue! I just google search it and guesstimate!

    I'm 5'8" and my SW is 169. My goal weight is 150. Good luck everyone! If you don't mind, I'm going to add some of you for accountablity! :)

    I want to start Insanity but I don't have any hand weights smaller than 20lbs. :/ I will be trying to get them by this weekend.

    I'm doing day 3 today! Well, technically I guess it's day 4 because I skipped the fit test.. Anyway, I did power and resistance yesterday and burned about 375 calories (I forgot to log it :/)...I have a HR monitor so you could just go off of mine if you want. It wont be completely accurate but probably pretty similar to what it would be. I'm 6 feet tall and 178.

    The Insanity workout doesn't require weights.

    I started round two on 9/3. Round one I lost 13 lbs, 12 inches and 3 pants sizes. I just had my little girl in May, and I'm 5 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight (it took me 18 months to get back down with my son). Is anyone doing shakeology, too?

    I love doing insanity and turbofire! My question is how many calories do these programs burn? Do you not put your calories burned into MFP and just stick with your calorie intake for the day?

    I am on day 3 as well. i am 5.6" tall and weigh 170. i need to lose 30 lbs totally. My calorie intake as per Insanity should be 1700 cal. Is this normal because my earlier dietician told me to maintain 1200cal when I was walking 60 min on treadmill. Are you all taking this much calories? Just for assurance. I started with 1200, today i did 1500 cals.

    I just started as well, but i'm beginning to feel this is beyond me for now. I stopped my cardio power and resistance first set through, [yes, that quickly!] as i felt like my form was all over the place, and I probably wasn't doing it right?
    I can't believe i stopped!!! And I don't know whether it's just me, I couldn't even do the stretches correctly!


    I've dislocated my kneecap a couple of times while playing competitive sports, and i tend to be... abit over cautious whenever it comes to knee exercises. Furthermore, with all the squats and jumps!

    I might take this week to watch the videos and try the exercises individually to get the form right. I feel like i should just persevere and do insanity instead of switching workouts despite my terrible fitness level now, cause if there are SO many people who could do it, why cant I!

    PS: I can't even keep up with the warmups after the first set!
    p.ps: I apologise for my weakness, haha.

    I HOPE ALL YOU GUYS ARE DOING YOURS WELL, WITH INCHES WAITING TO BE LOST!

    Do any of you actually like the cardio recovery video??? I hate it, it feels like a waste of my time... Instead on recovery days i will be running. I am somewhat training for a half marathon on dec. 1st so running would probably be a good idea lol

    I haven't done the cardio recovery yet. I was supposed to yesterday but I mixed up my days...so it's today. I'll check it out and see what i think. Maybe on these days I'll add in a set of stairs or a run :)

    I actually liked the recovery one...At first I thought it was a waste of time though. Did you get all the way through it? It gets rough after a few minutes! Lol My legs were BURNING!
