INSANITY WORKOUT starting feb. 17 , 2013!!

Good luck Megan, I am currently in month 2.

My advice, get some cross trainers or basketball shoes. Running shoes won't cut it as they don't offer lateral support. I suffered a lot of pain before my purchase.

Don't be to concerned at keeping up with the pace they set on the screen, go at your own pace. It is much more important that you follow correct form, and that you keep going. And that you enjoy it enough to keep coming back!

Invest in a heart rate monitor to be able to accurately track calories burnt

If you sweat a lot, some head sweat bands will save you time stopping and wiping

Make sure you have a towel and plenty of water to hand

Getting fresh air into your workout area is a godsend, esp. In month 2

Good luck, don't give up, KEEP PRESSING PLAY!

I just finished week 5. You'll feel/notice results after the first two weeks - just don't give up!
Does anyone have any advice on whether I should restart the month1 cycle or jump into month2?
I don't think I'll be able to keep up at all.

Hi Megan, I am also starting Insanity for the first time this morning 2-17-13. I have completed 3 rounds of P90X, 2 rounds of BBL and 1 round of Rev Abs so I am excited to try something new. Good Luck to you my friend.

I'm starting Insanity on March 11th. I would do it now but I'm in the middle for 30DS. Good luck! You can add me as a friend if you want since I will be soon doing the same crazy workout. GOOD LUCK!

Hi! I started insanity yesterday with my fit test. Today was the firat workout...plyo cardio and it was TOUGH I def sidnt make it to the end of each workout but I made it to the end of the session. Go at your own pace I surely didnt try to keep up with them after a while lol. I would love to kepp this chat going to support one another on this 60 day journey!

I just started yesterday! I love it... I love the variety and the time ticker at the bottom of the screen. I do have a couple questions though:

1) Does anyone else do other exercise routines while doing Insanity? I am specifically thinking about weight training and boxing. I have a personal trainer that I go to at work and was wondering how to mix that in.

2) Anyone else experience skipping on the DVDs? I noticed that my DVD player started skipping and then stopped about halfway though disk 2. I'm hoping its just my DVD player (its older) so I am going to try tomorrow's workout in my computer. I've just heard about people getting fakes when buying from a reseller (got mine through Newegg.com).

Hey logicman69 - I wouldn't see an issue with continuing your personal training along with the Insanity program. However, be aware of what your body is telling you and listen to it! Overtraining peaks its ugly head around faster than you think. Also, let your trainer know what you are doing. That way he/she can adjust your workouts accordingly.

Hi I did my insanity fitness test today (HARD but i was happy with what i could do) Day1, I'll be starting the 'real' workout tomorrow, please add if your in a familiar position to me, it'll be good to help each other keep track Ive also just ordered a HRM to log my calories correctly, excited to see how much I burn!!
