Hello everyone. I am starting Insanity next week. I am planning on doing the fit test on Sunday. If there is anyone else starting around that time, I would love to share our progress. I think that would be a motivating thing for me. I am a 5'11" male that weighs around 245 lbs: I have a wedding in November and I would love to be down near 200 at that time if it is possible.
I am looking forward to hearing from everyone

Hello, I started the Insanity Workout in the last Monday, Jan 21.
I'll love follow your progress, and share my results with you.
Stay strong. Good luck for us!0 -
I just started (or rather, recommited myself) today All of my results will be on my blog, including my horrible before pictures and measurements :sad: And, once I have them, my after pictures. If you want to add me as a friend, we can motivate each other 0

I to started on Monday 21st, feel free to add me and we can help motivate each other. 2 sessions in, it's hard but going to be oh so worth it in the end.
Good luck.0 -
I just started week2 of Insanity but am taking a couple of days off due to a small calf muscle strain. Planning to restart on Monday, so feel free to add me if you want. I'm 258lbs right now so we're roughly in the same place
Word of warning from someone a week in front of you: Pure Cardio.....wow!0 -
I am just finishing week #1. You can definetly reach your goal, but remember that Nutrition is 80% Insanity can only deliver 20% of your goal...0

Good news! You're starting off early enough to hit your goal in November. Alot of people expect to lose tons of weight in a very short time. While it can be done it usually takes a longer period and when you work at it for long periods you are much more able to keep it off. I've been through a Insanity 2x, a P90x/Insanity hybrid 1x, and now I'm onto Insanity Asylum. I have been at it 6-7 days a week since June 2012 and I am extremely happy with the results so far. Fact is I have been keeping it off and still slowly moving down.0

I am re-starting today! I have started several times before, make it through the first 3 weeks, then quickly lose motivation and gain back my laziness
Extra support would be greatly appreciated! 0 -

Hi I did the fit test today and was better than I thought. Looked at the pylometric cardio tomorrow and that scares me. I'm quite fit for my age - 53, but need to lose at least 20 pounds. I weigh 164 pounds and I'm 5 foot 5 inches. I'm trying to do alternate day fasting as well but on my fasting days going to increase from 500 to 800 calories whilst doing Insanity and have 2000 calories on my non fasting days.
Fit test results
switch kick 110 counting them individualy
power jacks 45
power kneeds 66
power jumps 24
globe jumps 28 (7)
suicide jumps 9 - these were the worse thing for me!!
push up jacks 17
low plank obliques 50
I just completed Jillian Micheals 30 day shred, do body attack once a week, spinning class once a week and circuits once a week. I will just be doing the circuits and body attack in place of 2 days of insanity as can't give these up, so will take me nearly 3 months to complete insanity!! We can do it!!!!!!0 -
I will be doing the fit test today! I have a lot to lose but I am not in a tight schedule either so we shall see!0

Hello I just finished day 3 of month one, it's a very tough workout but after you make it you feel SOOO good. I've just gotten back into working out and this is the most intense exercise I've EVER done but only because I've never been very athletic since I was in my early teens, so that's why I feel I'm finding it tough.... I'd give the advice that try not compare your ability to do the exercises with the people on the DVD but do what you can, take breaks when you need but always come back to it and modify exercises if needed!! I struggle with feeling I'm not doing well compared to the others on the DVD so I really need to work on that myself... Good luck and keep in touch with your progress, you can do it !!!! 0
