Hello! Good timing - I'm about to start Insanity tomorrow. I borrowed it from a friend so I don't think I can claim any t-shirt or even log onto their system.
Plan to do it before work, and take measurements at the same time because right now I have a full tummy from supper
When does everyone else start in this group?

I am starting tomorrow. I have already done the fit test and took my measurements. I am going to try to do it in the am because when I get home I am too hungry and then I am too full. But getting up and doing it at 6am is going to be tough.0

I am starting tomorrow with the fit test. I will take weight and measure in the morning.0

I am going to start tomorrow as well. Fit test in the morning when I get home - then weigh an measure when I wake up in the afternoon (I work nights). I'm hoping I can get in the routine of doing the insanity workout when I get home each morning, rather than putting it off until I get up. Whenever I do that I usually don't get aroud to doing anything! Lol. I am also going to continue to go to the gym each morning, I worked hard to get into that habit, so I don't want to break it. I am going to start over with my C25K program, so I should finish both together!!! Excited to work with you all! If I start slacking I give everyone of you permission to let me have it!!! Have a great day!!0

Hi everyone, hope it's okay to join this group as I've aready started insanity and am on week 2 day 1????
Just nice to find a group who are doing the same thing really
I loved the first week but found that my calf muscles were really sore after the first 3 days so I done some foam rolling which helped loads and they feel okay now
Really looking forward to seeing how everybody else gets on with the program and hope to feel motivated by hearing how others are getting along!0 -

Awesome every one! I am loving the active conversations and YES today is FIT TEST and Measurement day!
If you are a little ahead or a little behind that is fine. We are all here together for one reason, INSANITY. We are going to be a group on insane whack jobs...lol...in a good way.

I started Insanity today too. Took the fit test and will take my measurements soon. We can do this!0
-
Yes WE can. Hey if anyone wants to friend me on Facebook my page is www.facebook.com/turbomoma
I am so excited to have so many of you all doing this Challenge with me. It really is so much better to workout with others then to do it on our own. Enjoy Day 1, this will be the cake of the first week....hehe. :laugh:0 -
Hi everyone! I am so excited to join an Insanity Group. I have some history with Insanity and hope that we can all support and motivate each other to get through this. I have started/stopped Insanity a number of times. The farthest I have ever got has been Day 12 and that was November 2012. So Day 13 is a HUGE milestone for me. I was actually on Day 10 last week but had to take the past 5 days off because of school and work, so I am starting over (again...and also again, didn't get past Day 12 haha).
I want to and am determined to finish the full 60 days. I have started/stopped so many times in the past, I need to do this. I want to tone up, lose weight and increase my endurance.
So, in the words of Shaun T....let's goooooo 0 -

Oooh and we're the same size, laura666666recurring - I'm also in baggy UK 16s You've got the advantage of a couple of inches though, jealous, I'm only 5"9 0 -
Y'all:
I'm starting INSANITY all over again (I got lazy and fell off the horse a while back), so today was the Fit Test. I'm looking forward to DIGGING DEEPER with all of you!0 -
@mz
NO MORE starting and stopping. I did that too for like 2 yrs and I ended up having a bunch of programs. We are going to do this and you are Committed therefore you will be comming here when you feel discouraged or unmotivated to work, and we will help to light that fire!
I totally DISLIKE that we can not post pictures up on MFP groups. :frown:0 -
Starting today with Fit Test! Can't wait to see how everyone does!0
-
Turbomoma, do you reckon those of us which started today should just keep updating throughout on this thread, rather than start a new one for each day?
The people that started the thread for Week 2 keep updating on that thread, so it's sort of kept together? Just would be nice to keep it neat..0 -
Hi everyone!! Just finished the first workout! Was sweating like a pig, but feeling great now!! Excited to continue on with you all!!0

Just finished day 1 and it was tough!0 -
@ghs,
Yes, that would be great! If you all want to use this Thread to post on your daily workout that is fine. And those that are in the 2weeks ahead can stay on that one.
I will be posting daily little tid bits, motivational quotes, sometimes videos (like I already did), etc. Things I find to help keep us motivated and focused on the task at hand. For those I will post on a new thread.0 -
Morning!
just did the first routine, Plyometric training. Loads of fun though there was no way I could keep up! I like how one does the routine a few times, faster and faster. I couldnt do the jump squats, I just did the squat and reached up fully without the jump at all.
Now, I've noticed my lower back and shoulders are aching a little, and not my tummy at all. Can anyone pinpoint which exercises I'm not doing properly with form, which could be causing the ache? I should be using my core muscles and I know I tend to use my back which is not good but I cant think what I can do to change!
Enjoy your first plyo folks!0 -

Good Morning folks,
Time to DIG DEEP! Today is going to be a long one for me. And I am starting early to crush the day! :happy: Plyo Circuit today just incase you did not see before I posted Week #1 schedule on the main board in our group here.
Have FUN.0 -
DAY 2:
It's DAY 2 and I wanted to remind you about Hydration, hydration, hydration! Water helps curb hunger. Shaun suggests drinking half of your body weight in ounces of water each day. Not only will water keep you hydrated and quench thirst, it will ease your hunger.
Have you read your nutrition guide yet? If not get all over that TODAY! You can not expect to obtain great results if you are only doing part of the program (sure you'll still get results but you may not be happy with them in the end).0 -
Starting tomorrow! Can't wait! Super nervous, anxious and really excited. I haven't been able to loose weight or inches at all in the past 4 months of working out, so I am hoping that Insanity will give me the push I need!!
Keep me accountable!0 -
Day 2 was horrible for me. I made it, but it was hard!0
-
The fit test was interesting. I couldn't even do one push up jack properly so I didn't count any of them.0
-
I know today was CRAZY....those push up jacks are hard....the one I disliked the most was the Globe ones. UGH!
Keep going you all are doing GREAT! YOU made it with Fit test and/or Day 1. Before you know it you'll be at the end. WooooWhoooo.0 -
Yay, first proper session over. I couldnt do the bringing the knees to chest while kind of in a push up position- instead i just did normal sit up so at least i was doing something.0

@turbomoma
Thank you soooo much for the support. And you are right, we will stay committed this time. No more stopping and starting. This time will be the time we complete the whole 60 Days. I am doing Day 2 tonight :bigsmile:0
