Omg all of the topics on the subject about month two of insanity scared the crap out of me well I went into it thinking oh I hope I don't have to give up on this well I'm on my second day of my second week of month two and I still love the workouts of corse they are harder but if u got through the first month u will be okay in month two I had to post a topic on it because teeing the other ones I thought to myself there was no positive responses on month two and that scared me even more so for those of u thinking u need some positive advise here it is keep on going and don't give up I can't believe I only have two weeks left after this one good luck!!!

    Thank you for posting this! Is the 14lbs you lost from doing Insanity this time?

    I'm nearly finished with the first week of month 2 and it's more of a love hate. My big problem is all of the pushups, my arms are SO sore and there isn't a break. Plus an 4 yr old wrist injury is giving me a bad time, I've had to go to my knees just to save my wrist a bit. I may have to take off the Recovery day to give my muscles & wrist a break

    I've never been able to do pushups in my life, no matter how in shape I was. I can do maybe 2. Right now I do what I can & just try to hold myself up.

    Try doing some at a 45 degree angle (on the side of a coffee table or another table less than 2 ft tall), it is easier. I always start on my feet and when I get too tired or my form really goes I go to my knees.

    I start with full push-ups and go to my knees when I can do another one on my toes. I can probably do 30 push-ups now. Five months ago I could barely do 2 or three before dropping to my knees. As your core muscles gain strength so does the ease of doing push ups. I love the plank running and ski abs.

    ^ I used to have a 4 pack & still was never able to do more than 1 or 2 push-ups lol

    Great topic, i remember posting about month 2 in my first round of insanity and i felt like i almost died on day 1 of month 2. suffice to say i was not in the best of shape and i sturggled with month2 .

    Glad to say im now on second round of month2 and its going much better.

    As for push ups - i struggle with them too. Bad wrists. so i do a mixture of doing them on my knuckles and using push up bars.
