Insanity anyone starting

I'm finishing up week 6 tomorrow. Feel free to friend request me. In month one, I started out burning between 400 and 500 per workout according to my hrm. My numbers went down a bit though after a while because I got more efficient at the workouts, not because I was slacking. In month 2, it's been around 600 to 700 per workout. Hope this helps.

Are you all following the nutrition plan?

I LOVE INSANITY!!! When i first started out with Month 1, I burned about 500 - 600 calories doing the regular workouts, and about 400 calories doing the recovery workout on Thursday's. I have just started doing the Max Interval workouts for month two, the workouts are intense and longer than the 1st month workouts :sad: I have noticed that I dont burn as many calories as I did in the beginning, but Im still learning some of the new moves.

Just finished workout #2 this morning. My HRM said I burned 490 calories.

I'm on day 4 of Insanity. All my muscles are sore and cannot keep up with the dvd, only do about half of the reps they do, but I'm 42 and they look 22!!!! Hopefully this soreness will go away so I can walk and sit down without pain! Also curious about how many calories are being burned during the workouts, I don't have a HRM yet. But am guessing around 100 per 10 min, so 400 or so. I don't have the nutrition guide, but just finished doing the Shred Diet and am eating based on that. I hit a plateau after losing 7 lbs, so hope to get my weight down with insanity, but more important is to shrink my body and see some muscle definition. Learning how to "dig deeper".

Looking to start insanity tonight. Wondering if anyone has any tips. I finished c25k a few weeks ago and looking for a new challenge. Looking for some friends that are in the process of doing it. Send me a message. This looks like its going to be fun .

I'm finishing up on the 28th of this month. It will make an amazing change to your body (not weight so much) if you go hard. I do have a few tips.

1 - DO NOT try to keep up with the people on the videos, you will hurt yourself and likely get discouraged.
2 - If you miss a day DO NOT double up. At least not back to back videos. If you did one early am and the other in the later pm you would be fine but definitely not back to back.
3 - Throw your scale away! You are going to have to go by inches with this program. It is not uncommon for people to gain "weight" in the first week or two.
4 - Make sure you are eating enough to fuel these workouts. They are intense and will require more fuel than most people think.
5 - This program IS addictive!!!

I have lost 11 pounds but several inches. Not exactly sure how many, haven't done the math yet. Shirts have gone from XXL to L. Pants have gone from size 18 to a comfy 14, snug 12. I have had a tendency to wear men's jeans because being fat I just found the more comfortable. Basically in men's jeans I went from a 40 to a 34.
