Hi Foxy, Me too!!

I did Insanity 2 years ago and I felt great and looked great! And then with lots of unhealthy eating and laziness, I've gotten pretty squishy since then and have had a hard time staying motivated to do any kind of exercise.

Interestingly enough, the other day I came across my Insanity DVD's while digging for a shoe in my closet. Then for some reason I decided to join MFP today and happened to notice this challenge starting tomorrow. It seems like it's a sign for me to get off my butt... I'm hoping with a little accountability it will be harder for me to give up so easily this time.

Happy Insanity to you as well!

Hi Everyone!

I've just started Insanity today. I really hope I can stick it out to the end with everyone's support here. I tried the 30 day shred, and was unsuccessful at finishing.
But I feel like I've gained the motivation to stick with this one.

Here's my Day 1 fit test results:
Switch Kicks: 60
Power Jacks: 31
Power Knees: 69
Power Jumps: 21
Globe Jumps: 5
Suicide Jumps: 8
Push-up Jacks: 5
Plank Obliques: 18

Pretty dismal in my opinion, but hopefully I will see some improvement in a fortnight.

And I think the main thing I'm going to battle with is eating healthily. I have a bit of a problem with binge eating at night after I've had dinner. If I put a lot of effort into these workouts though, I hopefully will not want to eat any late night snacks in fear of ruining all the hard work.

Happy Insanity!

Hello everyone! I, too, am excited to have found this group. I am starting insanity today as soon as I finish posting this reply. I have been on this site off an on but I have never stuck to it. I am one of those people who need encouragement and motivation to work out. I get bored and sometimes just want to talk to other people going through what I am going through, My husband keeps saying that he will be my workout partner but sports take over.

I am doing this for myself and know that I need to be a self motivator but it is great to have a support group. :happy:

I will post my results of the fit test.

Soooo glad I found this group! I will be doing the fit test tonight and will post my initial results! eeek!

Hey everyone! I started yesterday with the fit test, but I'd like to join y'all here I don't have my first fit test reults on me to post though..

Day 1 down...ready for tomorrow!

I'm very disappointed to write this post, but I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to do this. I just attempted video 2: Plyometric Cardio Circuit, and I could no longer go on after 25 minutes. I felt physically sick and extremely exhausted.

I think I have underestimated this workout and I can't see myself turning on this video every day that I can't even complete.

I do still have a drive to get fit, so I am going to try and complete the 30 day shred first, and then maybe come back to try this workout.

I wish you guys all the best though and I'm sorry to have bailed so early.

Hope you guys don't mind me joining; I actually started the middle of last week but thought it would be good for motivation for me also!
Lisa please don't give up; you'll see the people on the DVDs get so tired out also, and they are trained to do the beachbody workouts! You have to always remember to GO AT YOUR OWN PACE and not that on the DVDs.
What time of the day are you doing your workouts? Ive been doing mine at 7am before work, however yesterdays one was done after work at 6pm, and I was hardly able to do nearly as much in the evening as I just didn't have the energy. Are you eating enough food to fuel your workouts? That makes a huge difference too.

I completed the Pure Cardio workout yesterday and was a little scared beforehand as I had researched it so I knew what to expect; it was hard, but not as hard at the Plyometric Cardio from day 2 (even though I didn't have as much energy); whether that is because I am feeling fitter from doing a few days of this I don't know??

All I can say is try to keep going if you can; I don't even pretend to be able to do the whole workout from start to finish perfectly (I have to stop during quite a few of the exercises) but I got on the scales this morning and found I had lost 3.75lbs this week just from doing it, so I think its worth it!

Good luck everyone xx

I started on Sunday, I made it through the work out last night BUT there were moves that my body just CAN'T do yet (those side things with the feet in push up position? Yea right!) I hope to be able to work up to them, so I won't give up! I'll post my fit test when I get home tonight, so glad to have found this group!

Okay. Joining late but hoping the peer pressure will drive me. I made it through 2 weeks solid last summer. Aiming for the whole shabang this time!! Friend me, harass me. .I could use the push!!

You can do it!!
