Started Week 2 today with Cardio Power & Resistance it was so much easier this time around. Looking forward to those end results.0

Completed week 2 Cardio Recovery. My thighs are feeling the buuuuuuuuuuuuurnnnnnnn :laugh:0
-
Today I had week 3 - Cardio Recovery... always a welcome workout in the middle of the week. I find that I feel guilty and try not to eat as much on the days I am not working as hard.
After my night shift tonight I have to do tomorrows work out right away because we are leaving on a 4 hour drive back home to work on selling our house since we moved. We are staying at my parents house Friday night and they are big pushers of fattening foods and alcohol.. that and the fact that somehow we are going to have to do our workout (in the basement maybe?) make me a little nervous. We'll see how this goes.

Day 52 done this morning. Got it out of the way :laugh: I wore my Yamax digi-walker. It recorded 2.46miles, 3721 steps and 786 calories burnt. Don't know how accurate it is.0

Month 2 day 4 Max Recovery done last night. Was tougher in places than some of the Month 1 full workouts. Low plank->High plank->low plank x 32. Talk about BURN!!!0
-
Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs tonight, "this s* is bananas yo!"0
-
That's a tough workout!
I did my last Power cardio and resistance - got a pretty good burn which i'm proud of!
Definitely feeling like it's the last week of the month 1, as I'm feeling not so motivated to do the workouts these days. I'm just tired! But I'll push through and do them - i want those results more than i want to give up!0 -
Stay in there! Month 2 is where the real work begins, where the real results happen. You've come through Month 1, now its time to relax with the recovery week then you'll be physically ready for Month 2. Just as long as you are mentally ready, it wont be a problem0

Day 40 Max Interval Circuit done.0

Day 40 Max Interval Circuit done.
Great job!! Yeah I guess that's what recovery week is for - the mind as well as the body!
BTW, managed to get through the whole of Cardio Power without a break today, an Insanity first for me! So perhaps a sign it's time to move on

Week 3 is done! I'm sure glad they put pure cardio & cardio abs in there twice for the last week!!0

Well, after getting home, highly dehydrated and feeling like I might be coming down with a cold(3 days in freezing temps) and sore, I just couldn't get into the zone. It took me til Wednesday to get fully hydrated!! I had one week left of my hybrid, but opted for another round of Insanity, instead. This time I did the Fit Test, as I was wishing I had when I would see everyone's progress. Today was Plyo Cardio Circuit. I'm able to make it thru so much more of the workout before taking a break. Still hate Mt Climbers, though, lol.0
-
For some reason I don't mind mountain climbers - it's the drills that really get me! I have a surface floor not a carpet so by that time i'm super sweaty and my hands are sliding around all over the place!
Finished Pylo Cardio Circuit today, only got 1 more and then no more! I still quite like this workout - i respond well to time limits and knowing when i can have a water break i kept up better this time, barely any breaks at all and those were mainly for towelling myself down so i could actually do the ski jumps and in and out jumps. 3 more workouts of month 1 to go!!
BTW: Did anybody else find themselves really mentally exhausted by the end of month 1? Of course I'm not giving up, but I don't look forward to the workouts as much as I used to, despite the results I'm seeing. I think I really need the recovery week, can't believe people skip that sometimes!0 -
I think the first time around, I was feeling a bit let down because I didn't see much move on the scale. But that first month I didn't pay attention to what I ate. So it motivated me to do better in month two. Thats when I joined MFP and stopped all calorie consumption three hours before bed. Then everything seemed to happen at once. I'm excited to see what kinds of changes I can get with Round two.
Today was Cardio Power and Resistance. I love how short the month one workouts are! But that scares me because I'm gonna get all comfortable and used to them and then BAM it's gonna be month two, again, lol. I didn't mind the workouts, themselves. It was making sure I woke up with enough time. That's my biggest challenge....and I did it once, so hopefully I will not slack off so I can do it again.0 -
Did Insanity Cardio Recovery - still can't hold those lunges and squats full time! It burns soooooooo much! But I'm definitely getting better!
My friends said today how much they've noticed my body changing, which is really nice to hear
Really looking forward to finishing month 1 and seeing more results with the next month! 0 -
Did pure cardio & cardio abs. Only 5 workouts left in month 1 for me!!0
-
Did my Plyo Circuit today - making up for missing it yesterday because I spent all day doing housework and lawn work at my old house (because it goes on the market tomorrow). Feeling good I am back on track.... only 6 more workouts until month one is complete!!!0

Bad weekend :sad:
Didn't do Insanity on Saturday, although I did go for a 3k run in the morning
Sunday - did absolutely nothing. Sat on my sofa and played Xbox. Any calories in that?:laugh:
Getting back in it today - Day 43, Max Cardio Conditioning.0 -

You should add the one you missed at end of workout or do 1 in morning and 1 at night 1 day this week!
Sadly no calories in Xbox playing! Might get pretty toned fingers though!! Haha0 -

Hmmm. You know what? The old me would have said "No way" :noway: to double Insanity. But new me is saying "Why not?" Just wondering if there's a way I can squeeze them both in. Thanks for the motivation! 0 -
Doug - i had to double up one day as I missed an insanity workout due to holiday and no time. It's not as bad as you think. Just drink plenty of water, don't do both on an empty stomach and just get it done. You'll feel amazing after!!!
I did my last ever pure cardio and cardio abs workout today. I feel so determined to finish this month on a high, and was pretty determined also to power through! Which I did! No breaks for me today, not even a breather! I feel so proud of my progress as I hated this workout at the beginning of the month but now I can see how far I've come!0 -
I just did my first one of two for today, Max interval Plyo. Feel OK, should be ready for Max Cardio Conditioning later on0
-
Well, I did it. Max Cardio Conditioning done. That's a double Insane day :happy:0

Wow!! Great job! I've thought about doubling up before, but I'm always worried it'll affect my sleep since I get home with only 2-3hrs before bedtime.
Today was Cardio Recovery. I should have done it yesterday, but I talked myself out of it(beer!!) and had to come in to work. I really should have just done it, it was so low key. But I'm counting yesterday as a rest day and moving forward.0 -
In Week 2 and I'm doing my first Pure Cardio with Ab's after, I haven't done the ab's portion yet. I'm trying to amp myself up so that I get off the couch and just get it done. Went on a 10 mile hiking trip Saturday and I'm still feeling the effects. Tired tired tired, just trying to get in plenty of water, protein, and sleep.0

I did Insanity for the first time, I did the fit test. I didn't track my numbers cause I was just learning the moves plus I find it hard to count and focus on form. I'm going to try and do Insanity on days when I am not running.
I just found the first day on youtube.
How long are most workouts?
The fittest I did was just 25 minutes, and had alot of breaks, which I liked!0 -

Welcome to the craziness that is Insanity! :flowerforyou:
My workouts typically last about 45-60 mins, depending on which workout video I'm working with, and is including all the breaks I have to take.
On another note, I'm thinking about starting to do my Insanity in the morning, before I start my day, go to work, etc. I would think I'd be going around sore all day thou :grumble: Anyone here do theirs in the morning??0 -

Completed Cardio Power and Resistance with no EXTRA breaks.....second round of Insanity...so it only took 70 days to get through a routine!!!!!!
Great job to all on here....inspiring to hear what others are doing....keep the sharing coming!!!0 -
Month 1 completed!! I finished on my favourite workout today - Plyo Cardio Circuit those drills still beat me but it is partly because i'm sweating all over my floor and keep sliding around during ski abs and in and out!!
So looking forward to my rest day tomorrow and recovery week. I definitely need it!!
Doug - well done on doubling up!! That **** is bananas yo!! You did great
Welcome to everybody else new here - welcome to the craziness that is Insanity! Just take it a day at a time, break when you need to (don't pause the dvd) focus on form and don't try to keep up with the class!0
