Hi Ladies!

If you're doing Insanity or Asylum, let me just start off by saying congrats! These are both amazing, yet ridiculously challenging programs, without a doubt! If you're looking for a little extra support and motivation to get you through to the end, I have a private Facebook group of other ladies on my team who have tackled or are in the process of tackling Insanity and the Asylum, we call ourselves the FEMALE INSANIACS! haha... So feel free to shoot me a buddy invite or reply on here if you'd like to join us!

COME ON Y'ALL, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :)

    It's definitely a love-hate relationship, isn't it?! Shaun T is an evil, evil man yet a genius at the same time! :)

    How are you liking it so far?! Have you tackled Speed & Agility yet? Asylum is definitely a different kind of beast than Insanity, with the incorporation of the speed rope, agility ladder, and weights! I'm starting Asylum Volume 2 on November 12th and CAN NOT WAIT!!! :)

    On Day 2 of Insanity.... phew.... Fit Test itself killed me yesterday.

    Today, I could not even keep up with the cardio circuit 1/2 the time, just tried to maintain my form and do as many as I could without collapsing.

    Let's hope Insanity will be kinder to me in a week's time! =)

    btw, since the fit test, i feel that my back muscles on either side are extremely tight, is this normal?

    The Fit Test is definitely killer, don't worry... you're not the only one that thinks that! And it's totally normal to not be able to keep up with the crazies in the video right from the get-go. It's going to take time, but form is definitely king... so just keep doing what you're doing, next week will definitely be better! :)

    Having *any* muscles be sore during Week 1 of Insanity is *normal*, in my opinion. I can't even tell you how ridiculously sore I was when I first started Insanity. Just make sure you're doing lots of stretching and drinking a ton of water to stay hydrated. Take things day by day and just do your best!! :)
