I am starting the insanity workout on Monday. Is there anyone out there that is doing it now? Or starting it? It would be super cool to find someone to do it together. Then we can stay motivated together.

    I am going to start Monday ideally. A coworker is loaning me his DVDs... so it just depends on if he remembers.

    Oh heavens no. I'm so out of shape. This is going to be super hard I think. I've never done I, but I've heard enough stories to know its going to kick my butt. I can't wait! :)

    I'm totally down to have an Insanity buddy. It will be nice to have someone out there hurting as much as I am. Lol.

    How about you? Have you ever done it before? In shape?

    I just started it last week. Make sure you do the fitness test first. It teaches you lots of the moves.

    LOL, I just finished last week. Month 2 makes the first month look like the kiddie table. BTW Recovery week is not RECOVERY, the man doesn't know the meaning lol! It is so worth it in the end, good luck ladies....Kick some SHAUN T'S *kitten*!

    OH YEA...when you do the fit tests in Month 2...do them on the Sunday, don't do them on the Monday...you will know why when you start the 2nd month and you will be happy you did it the day before...TRUST ME on that one!

    I've done some of the workouts, does anyone know the average calories burned in one? I can't find any stats on the beachbody website.

    The calorie burn varies quite a bit, with size, height, how long you can stand doing the workouts.... My first week I kept taking breaks because I was dying haha so I would only burn about 300-400 cal. The rest of the first month as my endurance progressed I would burn upper 600s. I have friends on here who have different stats (weight/height) than me who can burn almost 1000!!! Now that month 2 has started it's even crazier...there really isn't an avg because of all the different factors. I would suggest an HRM or manually taking your HR after each circuit and write it down some where so you stay safe for one, and can estimate a calorie burn.

    (edited i forgot a word lol)

    I'm on week 3 of insanity! It's great. I love how the workouts are only 40 min but so rewarding afterwards! I die when I have to do ski abs/in and outs for the plyometric cardio circuit but other than that i am lovin it. Cant wait to see some results!

    I just finished my first month and I'm on my second day of Recovery Week (and glad for it, because, man, was I getting tired!). Good luck! Semi-terrified for Month 2, but determined to get through it!

    Hi Swimcam, I'm on day 54! Congratulations in choosing Insanity it will give you a whole new perspective about fitness and guess what? you deserve it so give it your all and the rewards will be phenomenal. Insanity has become a part of my lifestyle somewhat addictive in a good way I can't imagine life without it to be honest I plan on starting it back up again once I finish we'll see. Goodluck and dig deeper!
