    I've had Insanity for a couple months now and always did it whenever I felt like it, never in a pattern. However, I just started it again on Monday. Day 4 already! I figured if I own it I might as well try out the 2 months program. It's not easy, you really have to be self motivating. Totally a good workout though.

    I've had Insanity for a long time, I've done month 1 workouts before but never completed the program. I am on Day 6!

    I'm nearly done with the first month. It's a challenge every day, but the results are definitely worth it. I recommend taking progress pictures and body measurements before you start and then again on your rest day each week. The scale may not register any loss, particularly in the first week or two (when you are most likely to give up without motivation), but the tape and the pictures will show the truth. The pictures I took, and have been posting on my profile pictures, have been a huge boost to me. Any time I don't feel like doing the workout that day, I can look back at Week 0 and see how far I've come, and it helps convince me to keep going.

    Make sure you maintain good form during the workouts. If you let your knees drift, keep your knees rigid during jumps or twist when you're not supposed to, you dramatically increase the risk of injury. There is no shame in needing to stop for a second in mid-workout, so if you feel yourself losing form, take a break. Even the people in the videos have to stop occassionally, and these are fitness professionals. You're not competing against them, you're competing against you. Push as hard as you safely can, and make sure you eat all of the calories (you'll need them), and you'll see results. Good luck.

    I started mine this past Monday. I love it but I am constantly cursing shaun T out. I have noticed an increase in my appetite so I have been trying to eat as clean as possible. I will also be adding running this weekend so hope it helps.
