I am going to give it one more week before restarting Insanity. I still have some slight pain and swelling in my shoulder. This week I will be doing my physical therapy and adding some lower body workouts into the mix and some spinning. Keep up the great work everyone.

Did you try foam rolling as part of your PT?
The Tai Cheng sequences have been disappointing so far in week 10. I thought they were going to be combined not separate like weeks 3, 6, & 9.0 -
I hope your shoulder heals quickly. I know how frustrating it is when you're injured, and want to work out.
Today I did the Day 1 Fit Test for Insanity, after I did my workouts for the day. It wasn't as bad as I imagined it, and I'm actually pretty happy with myself. I'm sure they do they deliberately, so people don't get discouraged right away. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's Plyometric Cardio circuit!0 -
oops..."do THAT deliberately", I meant.0

7/8/13 Power 90 workout done this morning. I took a day off from work because I felt too good. It was a nice day not too hot and not too cold...a perfect 68 degrees with a slight breeze and sunny. After my workout I treated myself to an ice cream sundae after I biked 14 miles round trip for it. I finished the afternoon off fishing and catching my walleye dinner which I just ate. Keep up the great job everyone.0

Yes I have and it has helped. I did not do it while camping and sleeping on the air mattress for over a week set me back. My shoulder is feeling good today. I think I get back in the grove with Insanity in a week. I cannot wait.0 -

Great job and keep Digging Deep. Did you take measurements and Before photos so you can compare at 30 days and Day 63? My Facebook Group has many helpful videos and postings that you might find useful too. I have an active group working out to Insanity now along with a few doing P90X, Power 90, Turbo Fire, and Tai Cheng. If you are interested the link is below. Everyone is welcome to join my Facebook Group.

Those mattresses are enough to make anyone sore!0 -

7/10/13: Did Insanity Cardio Power & Resistance today. What a great workout!! I had to take quite a few breaks today; I felt like I was struggling through some of those moves! I felt fantastic afterwards. I can feel my body changing as I write this. LOL0

7/10/2013 Tony Horton ten minute trainers Total Body, Lower Body and Cardio. Snacks and meals are packed and prepared for the week. I had a BBQ for lunch at work. I was on the food committee so I made sure there were some healthy choices. Have a great day everyone.0

How do you guys input insanity on the exercise diary?0

Hello everyone I just finished pure cardio. I swapped recovery for cardio and ill do recovery tomorrow. When I woke this morning I wasnt feeling very sore so I was a bit concerned that I hadnt pushed enough in yesterdays training and my clean eating went slightly dirty after making cupcakes with the kiddies. I am on day 4 and absolutely love insanity. I have never been a fitness lover. I did play hockey up until I had my daughter 6 years ago but from then on I havent been very active. I am 6 foot tall and 90kg and I can get away with carrying a couple extra kgs but for me now its not about being thin or looking ok, its about being fit and healthy and a good role model for my kids especially my daughter. So I sweated it out like crazy in todays training and am still a bit shakey. I have just eaten weetbix for lunch which I know is not enough but I dont think I can stand in the kitchen to prepare anything let along keep it down. I will make up for it with a lovely chickem salad tonight. Hope my muscles are burning tomorrow that tells me I have worked my body. Sorry for the long life story.0

I create my own exercise for each workout. I use a heart rate monitor and enter the calories.0 -

Great job on completing Day 4. Keep it up. I am motivated to be back on Insanity next week. My rotator cuff injury from work is feeling better daily. Do you use a heart rate monitor when doing Insanity? That will help out telling you if you are pushing yourself hard enough. Have a great day.0 -
7/11 Power 90 workout done. Another 3 pounds lost. I have lost 34 pounds thanks to teamryan90 for introducing me to Power90. This sure has changed my life around for the better. Thanks everyone for the support and motivation and making me believe that I can do this. Results this last month are awesome. You all rock.0

I was feeling low energy today when I woke up. I did Cardio Recovery and Max Recovery, and now I feel SO good! I am loving Insanity!! I was a fitness instructor, back in the 80's, and I just love the way this program is designed! I took a couple of "before" photos the day after I did the Fit Test. How often do the rest of you take photos? Weekly? Monthly?0
-
I also wanted to say how awesome everyone in this group is doing! Great effort brings great results...every time.0

Photos are done monthly along with measurements. Are you in my facebook group too? I have a few videos on photos and how to take accurate measurements. Insanity is an awesome program. If you are feeling low energy you should try to eat a small snack about 1 to 2 hours before your workout. It makes a great difference to me.0 -
Yes, I'm in your FB group. I'll check out the info....thanks.0

The videos on measurement and photos were posted awhile ago. If you cant find them scrolling down a bit let me know and I will re post again for you on facebook. I wish we could post videos here on mfp.0 -
7/12/ Power 90. Morning workout done again, I am loving the 4:30 a.m. workouts. A great way to start out each day. So much more energy and its keeps me energized for many hours. It is like having a cup of coffee without having to drink it. Great job everyone. You all are doing awesome.0

Just checking in. I completed last nights Cardio Recovery and man is that still a workout. The legs were burning and the sweat was pooling underneath me.0
-
I did look for the videos, but didn't find them. I'd really appreciate if you'd post them on FB. Thanks!
I'm on Day 5 of Insanity, and I did the Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs today. Every time I do a workout, I think, "This is my favorite"...This really is an awesome program!0 -

I have reposted both videos. I love the Pure Cardio workout too. I am getting anxious to start Insanity again next week.0 -
I did not do the fit test day 1 this time, I jumped right in to the program (INSANITY) so today is Day 7: cardio power and resistance for me! I will do it when I'm off work (around 7pm)0

7/12 Tony Horton 10 Minute Trainer workouts. It has been a few days since I posted but I have been working out. Been busy with life and the workouts sure relieve the stress. I want to thank you again for having this group. It helps keep me going on days that pushing play is hard. Keep up the great work everyone and have a great weekend.0
