Awesome job girl!!! And remember that your fit test this time was all about form so yeah your numbers may be smaller however they are proper and most accurate

You are gonna rock Insanity this time girl! I'm so very proud of you for going into Round 2. I am so excited to live through you until I do my Round 2.

Me myself, I started Level 2 of 30DS and am happy about that. I woke up this morning with stiff muscles (muscles I hadn't felt before) from yesterdays workout so todays will definitely be all about form because I am not sure I will be able to whip through it. I am going to do 2 more days of 3 lb weights and then work with 5 lb weights the remainder.

I am also trying to decide which program I want to do next.....I think I want to do Tapout XT or RushFit.....Tapout seems more towards my goal. However I was also looking at Zuzka's Zcut Power strength but its hard to find. I have the Power Cardio and was looking at maybe that but I don't think cardio is the one for me, I think I need to step up the more muscle building and less cardio....but I really miss Insanity too.

I am thinking about lowering my cals because I don't burn as much but the higher cals kinda give me incentive to be more active. I am battling a cold right now that has been brewing for about 3 days and is dragging and each day gets a little worse however I am just going to try to drink lots of water and tea and cough drops and so on to get rid of.

Onward and upward peeps right?!

Yay for the NSV!!! Woot woot!

Interwebs I see them all. Insanity I got from a friend. I am definitely more of a visual person so I think having a routine from a book would be hard for me to stick with until I actually did it fully and could remember it. I have a whole weight set downstairs but there isn't a set routine so I find it hard to get into that, I also have 2 lb, 3 lb, 5 lb, 10 lb and 25 lb dumbells, but need to get 8 for those in between routines. I also have exercise cables too. I have a treaddy and an elliptical and a gazelle....I have so many machines that its hard to stick to one. I love the treaddy because I love running but running outside is way different then inside because you have your weight as resistance outside so you definitely work harder.

After doing Insanity and not losing any weight but still am flubby but fit, I have been reading and reading and the more I read the more it all agrees with needing a weighted routine to build muscle to burn that last fat off. I am starting to notice some changes tho with Jillian, my love handles aren't as giant and my arm muscles are getting bigger (even when i'm not flexed). Insanity helped me with cardio conditioning and I don't struggle as much running at all. I really love running, I've missed it so much, for me it was a true addiction and I went through such a depression when I thought I had to give it up for good. But with the core work I have been doing my running is so much stronger and I have no pain so i'm hopeful.

However I am definitely a visual person it helps keep me focused plus to have it set in stone for me is so much easier and makes me more accountable bc then its in my face whereas my own built program I would always say to myself there is always tomorrow, I can do it tomorrow and then I never do it, i'm afraid of falling into that trap again, so structure is key, kwim?

So I am not doing Insanity any longer. But as of July 1st I have been making my own schedule to keep up with and it is a demanding schedule. Consisting on mostly TurboFire since I am so motivated by that program. I am currently in week 3 and I am feeling it for sure....lol. I am doing 3 hiits a week and adding in Insanity cardio abs and a little P90X too. I so can not wait to bee my results. My program I created is only 8weeks, since I know myself good enough to realize that the shorter length program is better for me mentally to complete.
So far I have stuck to the scheduled programs and doing GREAT with it. I am not seeing weight shed yet but I am seeing inches. I adapted Insanity's (Shaun T's) 2week check in's. I think those are more helpful for me to see progress then waiting every 30days.

Enjoy your Thursday and keep Digging Deeper guys!

GHS did you find that the cardio conditioning wasn't as challenging because you had already done the Max Interval Cardio? What did you find was the biggest difference in the two?
I have been thinking about doing Jillian's body revolution and Insanity at the same time but I don't think I would be able to continue running too and I really really love running. I have missed it so much!

Turbomama hope you enjoyed your rest day and got some good stretches in. I need a foam roller. I have one of the peroneous muscles on my right leg that just will not stretch out or work the kinks out. I think a foam roller would help especially for my butt! lol

Well done to you too ghs keeping active too and rocking round 2 of Insanity!

Peroneous muscle is the muscle on the side of the shin....its not the shin itself but beside it. I actually wonder if its just to big to fit if that makes any sense?

I did like the basic squats because they were slow and controlled and by golly you felt them!
I am still up in the air what I am going to do after this week of jillian is done. I was talking to my husband yesterday and was trying to explain my feelings but he doesn't share the same. He doesn't want to do insanity again and is set on jillian, however he will be having surgery soon and will not be exercising to that intensity, so either way I will be doing the program myself.

I want to continue running as I have a goal of doing a triathlon next summer (just a small one) but want to continue running. If I do insanity, with school coming I am afraid I won't be able to keep up with running, insanity and school. If I do jillian I would be able to keep up the running so its kinda 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other. I really miss insanity and am kinda set on if I can get running in then great but its not going to be a huge focus for me so insanity is winning so far.
