Starting insanity!

Try have a bath stretch out and rub your legs and try for day 6 and if you feel you cant do it drop out. because at the end of the day you don't want to hurt your self

Day 5 today and my leg muscles are killing! Like hard to walk killing should I push through it and go for day 6 tomorrow or rest?

I say try and push through it! I am on my last 2 days of Insanity (woo hoo!) and I had sooo many days where something (a foot, a knee, my butt) was killing me, but I found that as long as I started my workout, the pain pretty much went away. (During the workout, anyway). Hang in there, and keep pushing play!

And I think I am going to start the P90x/Insanity hybrid next, I miss my free weights! Best of luck to everyone! Feel free to add me!

well day 8 done today and a 10k run done as well. I'm feeling ace and burnt about 2000 calories in total

Last day for week 4.. can't wait for recovery week and start of month 2... already debating about asylum... I lost 2lbs and about 3 inches definitely have oblique definition.

i;m on day 10 now how is everyone's progress going

Hi All.
I want to start Insanity .... but I'm a little nervous!! Is it really hardcore?
I love Jillian Micheal's Ripped and 30 day shred and do 30DS L3 daily and Ripped 3 days a week plus I swim 100 lengths 3 days a week plus lots of dog walks.
Do you think I can hack it? LOL

Hi!

I am also a Jillian fan and have been doing 30DS, Ripped in 30 plus No More Trouble zones & Boost metabolism, burn fat since Xmas. I was finding they were becoming a little less challenging and I wasn't pushing myself as I knew what was coming up etc... so I bought Insanity. Today is Day 4 and so far, I am doing OK. I can't get through without stopping or slowing down in a few places as it is certainly a lot tougher than Jillian but it is achievale if you are willing to push yourself. I'd really recommend it and am hopeful that it'll bring results. Do it!!!

I started this today and wondered what people are putting it down as in their exercise diary? I can't find insanity as an option.

There's no way I could add my calorie burn without my heart rate monitor. It's so hard to judge how many calories are burned during this workout. While I burn 250-350 calories each workout some others I know are burning 500-1100 calories. I know it depends on your height, weight, age, etc. but it's just such a big difference I only go by my HRM.

Good Luck! I'm starting week two and am so sore but feel awesome - mentally!

Day 5 today and my leg muscles are killing! Like hard to walk killing should I push through it and go for day 6 tomorrow or rest?

I would highly suggest a foam roller. The thing is a life saver. I would push through, your legs will loosen up as you do Day 6. It will help break up the lactic acid build up.

I just started week 2 of month 2 today! it's so tough and you're definitely going to feel like you ache so much you can't possibly carry on, but I always feel better after I've warmed up and stretched out. Can't believe I'm 3/4 of the way through nearly, this is the first time I've actually stuck at something and I feel and look so much better for it

get ready to burn a ton of fat

I'm starting on week 3 today, feel free to add me!

I just started Insanity this morning! I did 30 days of workouts over a 45 day time span last summer. I really liked it and it got my energy level up so I'm hoping to stick with it for the full 60 days this time. I decided to do it first thing in the morning since that's the one time of day I can control. Good luck to all of you!

Is it because your body has held back water from all your drinking and not yet let it go.

Okay, I *think* I'm struggling with my caloric intake. I've followed the formula from this... http://www.teamunify.com/cast/__doc__/Insanity Nutrition Guide.pdf starting on page 10.

I'm a female, 5'2, currently 134.4 and 33 years old. My goal is to lose and my final caloric intake (with moderate activity) shows 1633. Keep in mind, that's with the 500 calorie deficit intended to lose.

My two questions are this....

1. Why does that seem like so many calories? I adjusted my calorie intake to 1390 because I seem satisfied at the end of the day with that. I just don't want to do any harm to my body or have my body store fat because it thinks I'm in starvation mode.

2. When using this formula, it's calculating your activity level. Do you think it's because it A - assists with the metabolic burn each day or B - it's assuming how many calories you will more thank likely burn during a workout.

I'm asking because on MFP, I have 1390 listed as my goal. When I do exercise though, I add those calories burned. So, some days I'm under my goal of 1390 by 250 (because of exercise) and other days I'm right at my goal of 1390 because I'll eat that 250 I burned.

I know, this is so confusing! I just want to be sure that it's okay to eat those calories back some days without ruining my goal of weight loss.

I hope this makes sense!!

I'm on day 13 tomorrow and i was wondering do i do cardio abs and pure cardio together or do i split them up through out the day. any ideas would be great or people that have already done this what did you do?
