    Cardio Core & Balance is still a nice light workout.

    My average HR is not as high but still getting a decent workout, I know its the calm before the storm though.

    5more workouts till month 2

    Don't get discouraged even if the scale does not move. I have lost a bunch of inches but only a few pounds. Keep at it and the weight will eventually come off.

    I'm on day 18 and loving it! I've lost 5 pounds, which is unbelievable for me, because I've been stuck at the same weight for months. Starting this has made a huge difference! My only complaint is that my knees ache quite a bit. Today's a recovery day, so I'm looking forward to it! :)

    Only on day 2 but my good, love it thank you for all your pictures really helps seeing other success stories !!! Gives me incentive to do it and stick to it, any help, my calfs are killing, to the point where I had to stop 3 times walking up the sand dune ( never stopped before) do I continue through the pain or rest?? This is the most extreme exercise I've done in over a year!!

    I know but it is quite rewarding to see the numbers dropping on the scale also:sad:
    Since I started month two, the workouts are getting more intense and I know I am building muscles! given that they are heavier than the fat, hopefully sooner than later I will see them drop on the scale as well...:smile:

    The calf pain will be gone within the week, most likely. Some extra stretches in the evening helped me.

    So bad: Haven't done my Insanity for a week now, which is terrible because it's Recovery Week. I love Recovery Week!!! I was looking forward to it, did the first day then left town for the long weekend and haven't gotten back in the swing. I did ride my bike to work twice last week, so that's something. I'm also doing a few things with dumbbells, so there's activity, just not my fave Recovery Week. Hopefully I can get a few workouts in this week. I don't plan on working out every day in the summer, but getting 2 or 3 Insanity work outs in every week will make me feel good. Gotta get back to it!

    Well, well , well it's day 1 for me today and i'm super excited. Done my weight, measurements and pictures just gotta work out my body fat.
    Watched the first couple of workout and glad I did as I decided being a larger chested lady that for my own safety I needed a sports bra otherwise I would have knocked myself out lol

    Will report back later once iv done my fit test.

    p.s not looking forward to pushup jacks :)

    Completed my first round of Insanity. Today was the final fit test. I'm very happy with my results - I worked my a** off, getting up at 4 a.m. daily for the workouts. Lost more inches than weight but I feel amazing - stronger, leaner, and tighter.

    I purchased Asylum 1 & 2 - the DVDs should arrive this week and I can't wait to get started! In the meantime, I'm going to do some of the month one workouts and hopefully make it through without taking any breaks.

    I finally got around to doing Core Cardio & Balance, after two weeks! I was so excited because I just got a HRM and I wanted to see the burn. But I'm also doing weights on M, W and F. So I did Core Cardio & Balance. Then I put in a Hip Hop Abs dvd for music while I did weights. I like to have it on, also, because in between sets, I do the moves in the video to keep my heart rate going. Well, so I didn't check my heart rate after Insanity and by the time I did, it had come down and so it only showed a 216 cal burn. I don't believe that that is all I burned. But my heart rate had come down so much that the reading was off. So I'm going to check it between workouts from now on. But glad I got the workouts in. Then tonight is Relay for Life and I plan on walking 3-4hrs. Good thing since I just finished a slice of zucchini fudge cake. :)
