Anybody starting INSANITY on 15th july?

Options
Hi,
I am starting Insanity program on or around 15th July. I had started it in January but quit is 3 weeks as my knees kept getting painful with each workout. I had to stop doing this completely when I reached a point of not being able to walk.

This time I plan to do it with different shoes as suggested in some of the blogs here, as to be one of the causes for bad knee during insanity

    I started on Monday so I'm not ahead of you by much. This is my second (third) time trying it so hopefully I can finish the 60 days!

    Im starting on the 15th. This will be my 3rd attempt, my last time i made it to the 5th week and took ill. My goal this time round is to conquer the full 60 days... If you want to help support each other let me know! Nothing better than a support team :)

    I tried two workouts of Insanity. I have refused to workout even with the Cardio Recovery. MAJOR DOMS my legs and calves are crazy sore :grumble: I am going to try "starting again" in a couple days even I can't finish the whole workout. I don't have any NSAIDS to help with the doms or money to buy any :cry:

    I'll be starting the last month tomorrow! I started on a saturday initially because I didn't know how my crohns would handle all the exercise - it seems okay so far though!

    The recovery week didn't feel too much like a recovery period but it's all good haha! This is my first attempt and I haven't missed a workout in the first 5 weeks so it's going okay...I am scared of the last month though! :)

    Hun... everyone is sore in some way when starting Insanity or any other workout for that matter if they are not use to it. You are moving and using parts that don't normal move that way. Advil will help and it's pretty cheap! Try drinking chocolate milk after your workout, it can help replenish exhausted muscles and significantly aid exercise recovery. As for not finishing the entire workout... don't worry about that as long as you keep trying, eventually you will complete it!

    I just started yesterday. It's my first time but I'm pretty excited. It would be cool to discuss our progress throughout the next 2 months.

    I am starting on the 15th, although I did do two of the workouts already just to see what I am in for. I am sore but I love it!

    I completed Insanity and The asylum (just got my committed T-shirt today) I could help motivate you and others. Feel free to add.

    currently I've been doing insanity and asylum on and off. As of last monday I hurt my knee as well and from then I've been slowly recovering. I'll try a Insanity workout tomorrow morning.

    Started with Fit Test Yesterday Evening 15th and Completed workout 1 this morning.
    I am 10 a day smoker and way around 16st.

    I have nearly thrown up this morning but managed to keep it down.
    I need to push to get through the lot and I already don't want to smoke any more.

    Any any inspiration welcome and I will post here most mornings to provide moral support if needed.
