Starting P90X/Insanity in February

I just got my copy of P90X in the mail today, I wanted to start it Feb 1st but unfortunately I have come down with a nasty bug so I might have to put it off longer...
I ordered a set of resistance bands, other than that I have a few free weights, push up bars, a medicine ball, a stability ball & yoga mat. No chin-up bar or anything like that. I'm hoping that I can get by with what I have....
Currently I do 30DS & some other Jillian videos as well as some other HIIT routines i found online. I mix n match them & usually do about 45-60 mins total a day. (sometimes i do weight lifting but it's pretty light weights, more high rep full body compound moves.) With 30DS, level 1 is fairly easy for me now, level 2 is very doable but not "easy", I can hang in but still kind of huff & puff & grunt my way through level 3. I wonder if I should wait until i can say that i have "mastered" every level of 30DS & the other Jillian videos I have before i try P90x.....0 -

Nice what kind of Genre of music do you listening to when doing it ? 0 -
Today was my second day of Insanity, really pumped about these workouts. Anyone doing the videos on a second floor? I feel like Im going to annoy the heck out of my neighbors.0

I just finished week two
Going on to do my second fit test
I really enjoyed it so far and think its a great alternative to the gym0 -
Hopefully they'll be a bit understanding when they realize it's an adult doing all the jumping and stomping, etc. Could always offer them to join you....HA! I have a friend getting ready to get the disks as well, who lives on an upper floor appartment. Will be interesting to hear about. Keep it up!0

Tomorrow makes day 51 of my first round of Insanity for me. I gotta say....I made the mistake of eating a "light" meal before my first fit test and I almost threw up. It was horrendous. Needless to say, I kept with it, careful to do it on an EMPTY stomach (lol) and I have done much better. So far, I've lost only 7 pounds but I've lost 18 inches and a dress size. I am 5'9" and currently 206 lbs. I feel better than I have ever felt...and my before/after pics so far are AMAZING to say the least. :0)
No matter how hard it seems, just stick with it...I promise it gets a LITTLE easier. Take as many breaks as you need...and DIG DEEPER!0 -
I'm on my eighth month of P90X right now. I've slowly tweaked it over time, substituting some of the easier workouts with routines from elsewhere (replaced Kenpo X with Interval X Plus, for instance). It's a great series for me and I've been very happy with the results. I've lost 19 pounds, and put on a lot more muscle than I expected to.
I can actually keep up with that Dominic guy in Plyo now, which just blows me away. I used to curse that SOB every time I got to jump knee tucks and he does them double time for 30 seconds.0 -

This was an interesting read for me. I threw up after I did the fit test, but I did it first thing in the morning with no food or water in my system (which made throwing up much worse). I then had a read and thought it was due to dehydration and lack of any food. From that I gathered that I should eat before doing it, but you reckon empty stomach is better?0 -
KyahRose86/lyndabyh:
My wife and sister in-law are nervous too! But I told them that I'll be struggling with them every step of the way until it's DONE. Share with us your experience back here once you've started.
kadinlucas/Fallorhea:
I know how that feels. I puked the second day doing P90X Plyometrics Keep pushing yourself maybe modify some moves so that you don't hurt yourself to a point where you can't continue.
MissAnjy:
Awesome! Have you done any workout like that before? Reason I ask is because you seem to be pretty fit already. What are your goals for this round?
jbirdica:
Way to go! What's your result so far?
marvybells:
I got sick only the 3rd day into P90X and had to be in bed the whole day. I pushed myself to do Yoga X the next day and boy that really helped. Not sure how but that totally made my body and sickness go away
akb22/eperex:
Welcome! How are you guys liking it so far?
niswander91:
I too do my workout on the second floor of my own house but guess what even my wife complained about me being too loud LOL!
deansters:
Good job!
****ersondiva:
Congrats! You're almost there
catatomi99:
Amen! I told myself that maybe he's lighter and that's why he could do double time and jump farther

Way to go! What's your result so far?
Thanks! Well, I started out on January 7th weighing 196.8 and today I am 194.6. So not many pounds lost but lost 5 inches around my waist! Extremely excited about that! Also, my fit test results were a drastic improvement from the first round.
First Numbers are the fit test I took when I started Insanity and the second numbers are my 2nd fit test taken after two weeks of Insanity!
Switch Kicks 55 72
Power Jacks 50 65
Power Knees 74 100
Power Jumps 28 40
Globe Jumps 7 9
Suicide Jumps 12 15
Push-Up Jacks 12 26
Low Plank Oblique 40 50
Just wanted to add that I am 5'2" and have not been following the Insanity nutrition guide. Just been eating healthy on my own and tracking everything on MFP.0 -

That's great! You know you can't really look at the scale. Inches are more important!0 -

Well, your mileage may vary, but I have found that there is waaaaay too much jumping around and quick-changing from standing to plank for me to have a full stomach. Now that being said, I was HORRIBLY out of shape when I began, and that's probably the real reason why I had stomach issues on the first day. It could have been that even with an empty stomach on the first day, I would have felt just as bad. Tonight I did Max Cardio and Recovery after a chicken salad sandwich and I was just fine. Go figure. :0)0 -
Emma: That's awesome. What are your goals for this round?

To actually finish it this time lol. I've also got Turbo fire waiting in the wings for after i complete insanity.0 -
I'm starting today as well. I've done some rounds before so I know what to expect, but I plan on going through the full 60 days and then on to Asylum 2 afterwards. I do have Asylum 1 but would much rather do 2.0
-
I'm doing the same thing. I put together a 1000 pound weight-loss challenge and a P90X challenge because I'm really in need of accountability and support right now! What better way to get support, but recruit people to join me!
Both Start on Feb 25th 2013
