    I did like 2 or so weeks of it and went on vacation for a week and i just don't care for it....plus when you have 2 toddlers its hard to workout for that long.

    Same here. Made it through 6 weeks and then went back to work (after maternity leave) and also it killed my knees. And I was getting bored with them. I loved it while doing it but then just ran out of time. It definitely increased my speed when running and got me in great shape.

    I dropped out 2 times before I eventually finished. Then repeated it two more times! Just push play everyday and do your best.

    I made it about half way through and had great results--I could really see where I had gotten stronger when playing roller derby (all of those squats did some good after all!). I quit because I got a terrible cold and couldn't breathe well enough....then had a bunch of things come up that kept me from getting back into it. I've tried re-starting a few times since....but would much rather do something outdoors since the weather is nice. I'll admit I hated every minute of it, but the workouts go by really fast and you really do get results.

    I didn't quit, my wrists were injured during one of the routines and had to stop working out for a couple weeks and since that I just haven't have to urge to start back. I do P90X and Crossfit instead plus other nicknacks to fill in when I want something extra

    I'm a quitter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! although I do sometimes still pop the DVD in for a work out but I didn't do the program straight. I found I got bored. I need a lot more variety and I have found out that I like lifting so I have been doing that 3 days a week and then my other days can be varied...gym cardio, running, swimming, hiking, a workout video etc...I have to mix it up or I won't finish...and I didn't!
    Yup, right there with ya!

    I quit after two weeks. I loved the progam but it killed my wrists, ankles and knees. I replaced it with Les Mills combat and Turbo Fire. Both I love!!!

    I finished the Insanity program, but I had to spread it out a little more. Also, modified some of the steps adn took frequent breaks. Even with that, I dreaded doing eash session until the end. I had to push myself to do it.

    However, it did help me a lot. It boosted my fitness to the next level.

    I rejoined gym after finishing the program. The classes at gym seemed so much easier after Insanity. I was actually able to do two classes, Body Combat and Zumba back to back.

    The better question is who is willing to give it another go and really try to stick to it

    First go round I hit recovery week about the time I started a summer class and got distracted from hitting play.

    Since then, I've started and stopped so often...I'll break that cycle with my next start ;)

    I'm a quiter... or at least I choose to fit the program in around my life instead of my life around the program. If the weather is too crappy to get out for a run, I do it. If I want a challenge for a week, I do it. If I want to spend time with Shaun T's sweaty self, I do it. If I want to annoy my downstairs neighbors, I do it...

    I don't feel the need to force myself to stick with one program... I like making my workouts personal.

    I quit because for some reason I thought 3 weeks before Christmas was a good week to start....needless to say after the first half i got distracted. Now its summer and I prefer working out outdoors. I'll probably give it another go next December...

    I quit after two weeks. it was too much for my ankles. and honesty I cudnt bother anymore. What I started to do instead was to mix in some of the videos with my monthly routines. So I would do mayb the plyo or the cardio video twice a month along with my other workout videos and cardio and gym

    Started in April, skipping about 1-2x a week until about the week before Recovery Week. Then just quit altogether.

    Was doing the programs in the evenings. But we were house hunting, which turned into buying a house, so just did not have the evening time to commit an hour (the 45 min workout + all extra breaks i had to take) to wearing myself out.

    Now that we're moved into our new house :happy: and settled in, started with 30 Day Shred. I'm on day 8, and can tell it's totally more my level of fitness. Insanity was just too much for me to stick with.

    I tried Insanity 2 years ago...quit after 6 weeks....the increase of difficulty in the second month was too much...extra 20 min and tougher exercises killed me....
