INSANITY - Support Group

anyone can do insanity it's all about the form- speed can come later
you can do it

and i started at 233lbs and didn't die doing it so you'll all be fine honest

i would say if its really bad you should use a recovery formula or chocolate milkshake and it should ease a bit and do the workout if you think you can if not rest

Thanks all - I'm kinda bummed that I didn't get to start yesterday, but really want to, so lookslike I'll be doing it tonight - does it matter that I start on a Tuesday?

Hey everyone! Just finished day 2 this morning and am I sore! I hurt so good! LOL! I'm on the beachbody web site and message board as well, but all the motivation I can get would be appreciative! Keep up the good work and DONT GIVE UP!!!!

Okay ya'll, I completed 4 days of insanity but I've decided that I want a Heart rate monitor so I can accurately add back my exercise calories into my diet. So I am taking a break and completely starting the program over again on Thursday (My HRM comes in the mail tomorrow afternoon). Anyone else still haven't started yet? I thought maybe I could start with someone on the same day and we can hold each other accountable that way! Let me know!!

I'm at work at the moment but I wanted to make sure that this group saves on "my topics" so I can come back to it later.

I started today.....my ankles were burning like crazy. Anyone else starting today or this week?

Hi! Just wanted to comment! I finished Insanity!!! Still cannot believe I completed it! Wanted to share with you some of the things I went through! #1. The first week was the WORST! Not because of the workouts, but the soreness was almost unbearable! The second week was rough too, but not as bad as the first. I was so sore..it was unbelievable. I am a full time college student and it was rough for me to even walk... especially to class and sit down. It was bad. I remember almost crying at night. My coach told me to soak in a bath tub in Epson salt. I found some at my local CVS for $2. It helped. It WILL go away just give it time. After the second week I would still get sore, but nothing compared to that first week! My coach also told me to buy glutamine...it is in the vitamin section at Walmart. Glutamine is also in spinach...it helps soreness. Just stick with it!! Also!!! I read some comments about not eating even 1200 calories. I did this also. And let me tell you... it hurts you in the end! I wish someone would have explained to me how IMPORTANT It is to eat the amount of calories you should be eating!!! I lost 5 pounds with insanity and 3 inches around my waist and an inch around my hips. I'm disappointed with the results, but I did drop a size. I talked to many fitness members and they told me the number one reason I did not get the results I wanted is because I ate WAY UNDER MY CALORIE GOAL. In your insanity book it shows you how to calculate how many calories you should be eating!!! DO IT!! I should have been eating 1700 and instead ate around 1250 to 1300 because I thought I would get fast results...but Wrong. It made it harder for me to loose weight. Someone explained to me are bodies need fuel to burn off the fat...without it will lead to starvation mode and you won't be able to burn off the calories anymore. I am redoing insanity now and this time following my calorie goal and hoping for better results!!! Hope this helps!!!

Hi, I am in week 4 and I definitely know what you mean about swollen. At first, it felt like my whole body was swollen

I am a 29yo stay at home mom. I left my sedentary career after the birth of my child 7 months ago. I have been pretty sedentary at home too. I broke my back several years ago, and I just thought I would never be able to workout the same again. The mentality and pain I was left with kept me in a rut. Now at 5'2" and 179lbs, I am DONE with excuses. I ordered Insanity (through Amazon, so I won't be able to get the shirt). I should get it on Friday. I will be starting my journey then. Do you all find it best to work out in the AM or PM? I've been doing Hip Hop Abs this last week. I hear it's a walk in the park compared to Insanity, but I wanted to get my heart rate used to it before I get started. I'm glad I can get support on here.

I am on day 8 of Insanity. I love it and I hate it. I lost 2 lbs and 4.375 inches after my first week (2 whole inches around my waist in 1 week!!!). I was hoping to lose more weight but am thrilled with the inches loss (plus I am on my period so I bet I really lost more than 2lbs and will see it next week). If anyone wants some support feel free to add me. I am following the meal plan as close as I can and log my food religiously.
