Hello everyone! So I've decided to quit my gym membership and start doing Insanity at home. Sometimes I didn't have the time to go, or made excuses, and this way I know I'll stick to it. Still have a couple weeks left at the gym though, so will do a few more classes and use the swimming pool until it's over - as long as I have any muscles left after Insanity!

Who's out there getting your DVD covered in dust? No one? I'd love some company. I have the 'before' photos ready and will post them, together with the first comparison, in two weeks time. I think it will be good measure as that's the interval you have to do the fit test, so it all comes together.

Any takers to do this journey with me? I'm starting tomorrow... Eeeek!

    Hello Bluecrayonz,

    I was going to start tomorrow until I realised their calendar is set for you to start on a monday... I guess I'll just do a normal class tomorrow and start monday then... Wanna do it? It's just easier to follow their plan :)

    I'm already doing Insanity, almost halfway through. I don't do it everyday, but that's because I play tennis for a gym class at my University on Mondays and Wednesdays. I've gone the last 7 days without taking a rest day, but if you feel too tired then definitely take a rest day.

    I also don't do the fitness test days anymore, but I'm not strictly following the plan, just using the videos to burn calories. Feel free to add me, I need more Insanity friends!

    Also, don't be intimidated by the program. Take it at your pace, it's okay if you have to do the moves slowly, or stop often, you will gain endurance and strength and be able to go a lot longer every time. Drink a lot of water!

    I have one week left in month one. I'll do a second round after that because I know I'll still have weight to lose. Any of you can feel free to add me, I post my workout results daily. If you do add me, just mention 'Insanity' in a note when you send the request :-) Good look everyone!

    I ordered it on Friday night so am waiting for it to arrive. I ordered next day delivery so am hopeful it will arrive on Monday so I can start Tuesday morning.

    Am nervous about how tough it is. Want to give it my all as I want to results to show for it. Am hoping it will give my fitness a boost as I am booked in for a 20 mile, 200 obstacle race in May so need to get my *kitten* in gear if i am to have any hope of getting round the course.

    Are any of you in the UK?

    I'm on my third round. Week 4 tomorrow.

    I log that I've done the exercise but put 1 calorie burns... I've changed my calorie goal to the one I got from the equation in the insanity nutrition guide so I don't have to worry about 'eating back' calories and just stick to my goal.

    I know, but my gym membership only finishes on the end of the month. I went for a Total Body Workout this morning. I will now use it for sauna and swimming, and try and give my little muscles a rest ;)

    That's the thing... I've been on forums and found nothing too useful :(

    I'll track it as 'aerobics high impact', as I don't have a hrm. This is what I've been using for some workouts I do at the gym somehow similar to Insanity and I've been losing weight, getting fitter, and I feel healthy, so it probably works :)

    I'm in London! The calendar says you're supposed to start on a Monday, but the first day is only a (very hard) fitness test, so maybe you can cheat a bit and do it 100% with us ;) Let's al do it! My housemate is going for it too, she's just not on MPF :)

    i started yesterday with the fit test. Today was day 2 and it went really well. I didnt need to take any extra breaks

    I need my rest days to be Friday which is why I started on a Saturday. I do have a heart rate monitor so maybe I can post my burn and that will help give everyone an idea of the burn, even though I know every one is different. My soccer season starts in 2 weeks though so I'll have games on Sunday so whatever workout falls on Sunday i'll have to skip.

    Thanks Tammilk, obviously everyone is different, but your burn could be a good reference. Well done on not needing breaks. I'm a bit scared about what's to come, but hey, LETS GO! :drinker:

    I started today with the fit test!!! Trying to break up my running routine with some strength training/core work and this was suggested to me. From what I saw, moral support to get through the next 60 days is going to be essential!!!! What a workout!!!
