Hello!

So technically this is my 2nd round of Insanity... I just did the Plyo Cardio Circuit. (week 1 day 2). I've had a few set backs the past 3 months including injury, job transitions, school, wedding planning and family illness. I am determined, though these things still exist, to get refocused for the new year. I have made some amazing and beautiful friends here on MFP and could always use a few more. If anyone is beginning Insanity for the 1st... 2nd .. 3rd.. 4th or 5th time.. I welcome your friendship as well. I love the motivation and just knowing that there are others are doing the same workout I am is such a HUGE help!

Looking forward to shedding some lbs and gaining lots of strength - physically, mentally and emotionally.

DIg Deep, folks!

Christina

    I'm glad I stumbled among your post. I started Insanity over about 4 times and never made it past day 2! I always had an excuse from being stressing with my internship, having a doctors appointment, transitioning from intern to a full time position, not being prepared, not eating right etc.

    But today I plan on starting insanity over for the last time! Enough is enough and I have to get myself back in order.

    Today is week 2 day 2 for me. This is my 3rd attempt at Insanity in the last 2 1/2 years...with a couple of pregnancies stopping me.
    I picked my end date first so that I would be done the week of my 35th birthday. I am DETERMINED to get the weight off this time! 10 days in and I am 6 lbs down!!
    Please add me to keep each other encouraged and on track!!

    Woops - I accidentally started Insanity. I was finishing up the 30 Day Shred and I was determined to get to the end before starting Insanity. But curiosity got the best of me and I watched the fit test and then one thing led to another and a couple days later I just finished Day 2. :)

    So...Plyo Cardio Circuit: I didn't do all the reps or keep up with Shaun, but I don't think I hurt myself either (I guess tomorrow morning I'll know for sure). I did what I could and just kept a positive mindset - and I burned 460 calories according to my HRM. I'm feeling good! Looking forward to the next one.

    My goal with Insanity is mainly to lose weight. I have about 30-40 lbs to lose and I like to track my measurements. Will try to post my results as I go.

    Good luck to all! Feel free to add me if you need a buddy.

    I tried insanity a few months ago and made it two weeks after losing 85 lbs on my own over an almost 2yr period of going to the gym. I thought it would help me through my plateau. I shouldn't have tried it through vacation and holiday months though, I ended up stopping after two weeks and decided to take a "working out break" and start fresh in the new year. Unfortunately a gained a few pound over the holidays but I'm back at it, just finished day 4 and I'm soooo sore. Wish I had stuck with it, it was a lot easier when I was in better shape. Taking a few months made me lose a lot of the muscle I had gained. I'd love to be friends with anyone who is also in about the same place in the program. It would be fun to share in our success.

    Did Day 3 yesterday. My calves were alright after Day 2 but when I started this workout they were so stiff and sore - it was hard to do the workout. Will have to stretch them out more. Also, after I'm done my workout I watch the next day to see what's in store while stretching - I really think all the extra stretching helps.

    I'm not really pushing myself as hard as possible this week - I am learning the moves and getting my body used to doing them right - next week I'll speed it up. Don't want to hurt myself too soon and have to drop out. I am still burning close to 500 in the workouts according to my heart rate monitor...

    I'm starting Insanity for the first time on Monday. I've checked out the Fit Test and that tired me out just by watching! I'm very excited but very scared, too. I've done JM 30 Day Shred, 30 Day Slimdown and Ripped in 30. I hope I make it through this! Would love all the support I can get!

    I have recently completed 60 days of Insanity and loved it. The key is to only do what you can handle so you don't injure yourself. Is is better to modify the difficult moves when you are staring out so you can sustain the workouts for the entire program. It is real easy to hurt your knee if you push too hard too fast. If you take it at a comfortable pace you will have great rewards..

    Feel free to add me. I would love some Insanity buddies.

    I started Insanity again yesterday, and am excited for what the results will hold. I tried to do it once before, trying to get in shape for my wedding and I was really happy with what I was seeing. I got into about the 1st week of the second month and just stopped making in a priority. This time I'm going to finish!!

    I just ordered Insanity yesterday, and plan on hopefully starting it next Wednesday. I've never done it before, and all of the other fitness programs I've started I have ended up stopping after about two weeks. I'm really motivated to see some results though, so I plan on staying committed to Insanity the whole 2 months! Any support and/or motivation would be greatly appreciated!

    Have a great 2013!

    I started January 7th. This is the third time I've attempted it, and this is the farthest I've made it.

    I'm feeling good, I'd be lying if I said there are days I don't want to do it but I always feel better once it's done.
