Insanity Buddies!

I am starting Insanity on Monday too! I usually run for my workouts and maybe through a Zumba workout in there sometimes. Lately I have felt like I've been in a funk so I decided to change it up and challenge myself.

I'm just completing week three, day 21. I have found it very tough, but if you really grit ur teeth you can come through it. You get an amazing sense of achievement and definitely start seeing results after about week two. I started by taking an extra 30 seconds rest a couple of times, but now I'm getting brought them much more easily. I started by trying to keep up with he guy in grey, but now I feel I'm not far off the girl at the front. This tells me I'm getting fitter. I'm not really bothered too much about losing weight as this is misleading anyway, just want to become more toned and fitter. It seems to be working. I've only just started drinking a recovery drink afterwards and a protein whey shake, so can't really say if that's made a difference. Trying to only have a couple of glasses of wine on a Saturday night. I think it's just as much about your mindset as anything else, good luck!

I am looking for Insanity buddies. I am looking to start tomorrow or Monday for a second time. I was half way through it when I fell last fall on a simple walk and banged myself up. I took the necessary time to heal (plus extra) and am now ready to restart. If you are starting in the next day or so, feel free to add me and we can do this together! The more the better

I have started insanity and I can't get past week 1!! I really need insanity buddies! I hear that it does work...we just need to stick to it! Feel free to add me! I am going to be re-starting tomorrow!

was anyone else so sore after the first day they could barely walk. I can't believe how sore my calves are they hurt like never before. I have been working out with jullian and Jackie warner for a year and running for 5months . But this insanity was killer.

My calves were definitely sore during the first week, after about day 3 I really noticed it when getting up in the morning and trying to walk around, but it doesn't last. I had anticipated the soreness after reading about others experiences prior to starting, but just as they said, the soreness is obvious the first week, but after that it goes away. I'm in week three and I never feel sore anymore.

I am starting Insanity! on Monday. It will be our 3rd 9 week session in the past year.
I would say one tip that I haven't seen on here yet is to get at least 1 friend that is motivated to workout with you daily. Someone who will show up everyday and motivate you. The DVD is only so encouraging, but Shaun T can't see you standing there while he's working and sweating. However, if your buddy is laying it all out and you're taking a siesta it "should" motivate you to get back in quicker and stay stronger.

Best of Luck!!

I'm down to my last couple of weeks of Insanity!!! My biggest word of advice is to just stick with it. Some days I'm pumped and energized, some days I dread pressing play because my energy level is so low. I was in the worse shape of my life when I began, and I'm not going to say that Im going blow for blow with the cast on the DVD but I can at least say I'm getting in on a piece of every set now. I went nearly three weeks without results, but then it seemed like one day I woke up and things just changed overnight. In my 8th week now I'm down 20lbs and 4 inches off my waist. Press PLAY!

I'm always looking forward to meeting positive people. Anyone looking to give/receive support please feel free to add me! Good day.

I also have insanity, thinking to start it after I finish my Lesmill Cambat workouts Its ruff but I felt so great when I did it a while back.

I started Insanity today! I'm so excited to see what kind of results it gives me. I've been falling off the wagon a lot lately and I feel like having such a structured, consistent plan will help me a lot. Plus, I get so pumped up by the Intensity of it all - nothing better than that beast feeling!

I started last week and got two days in before I injured myself (my life is pathetic - I wrecked my knee running into a bed and couldn't even use the stairs for a day!) but I'm all recuperated and ready to go.

If anyone else wants to add me, we can do this together! The more the merrier!

And thanks to everyone who has posted their advice/personal experience with Insanity. All great tips

That is awesome. The combo of MFP and Insanity will give you amazing results if you stick to it. I made it through my 1st week and I love it. It is tough but just do what you can. Good luck. Friend me if you like so we can support each other
