    Hey all. Took my fit test Monday...I survived plyometrics yesterday....this is a very mental challenge...I not only want to complete this for the physical benefits but I want to conquer my mind. I had to pause plyo yesterday and tell myself..it's all in my mind I CAN do this. We'll see how tonight goes.

    For those who are already doing Insanity, are you also following the recommended diet ??

    I just finished month one and did not follow the diet. I tried to eat according to MFP goals but did not hit them. The scale did not budge much for the first month but now that I am into month 2 and following the nutrition plan - I dropped 3 pounds this week! Feel free to add me as a friend!

    I'm on my third day of month 2. I'm really curious; what are you doing for your hybrid workouts? I'm going to pick up P90X once I finish insanity, but being able to do some insanity still would be nice, since it's kind of grown on me a little bit.

    Hi, I am on Week 2, Day 11. Today was Cardio Recovery which is good as I have a Crossfit class later. I found the first week tough but this week tougher as I have been murdered with heartburn. I know the exercise is doing it but I could also be pushing myself more. Some areas I am finding a bit easier like the level 1 drills. I have no upper body strength whatsoever. It would be great to get some support.

    Yesterday was my day 2. I thought my DVD was stuck on fast forward LOL!!!!!!
    Yeah it is INSANE. I was ok with most but the floor work I will admit, I couldn't do it. When he does the four push ups fast, then the run, then the in and outs, then just up and go down and do it again...um, could not.keep.up.

    Day 3 today. I am skeeeered.

    Don't worry, day 3 seemed to be a touch easier than day 2 for me. Although the moving pushups just about killed me..I have zero upper body strength.

    I'm on day 4 today, but I'm afraid to even get out of bed because of how sore I was yesterday!

    Hubby and I did Day 2 and yes ShaunT motivates me with encouraging work and eye candy...I love how he tells the others to take a break when they need too and the camera shows them really working to keep up and even their frustration when he keeps going and going. I'm so pumped and can't wait to get to the end of the week like you!

    I totally agree with you about Shaun T. But what I really like is the rest of the bots in the video are real people, working hard and sweating just like me. I don't find anything annoying - like mannerisms, quirky statements etc. - this entire dvd set is a keeper for sure! I love love love putting in the dvd each morning!

    You might want to try taking 1 omeprazole (prilosec) first thing in the morning. I take either 1/2 or 1 most days and it took care of the exercise induced heartburn.

    Just started Insanity this week. Today was day 4 and thank god for the recovery period seriously as I have been aching so badly at work, and especially getting out of bed in the morning haha.
    Time passes so fast though when you are doing it!!!!!!
    My 60 days finish just before my birthday and boyfriend said if I keep to it he will buy me a new dress (only if I get to my desired dress size) if thats not motivation I dont know what is haha.

    How is everyone else getting on with it?

    Thanks, I am not sure where to get that. Can you get that in Northern Ireland? I have just been taking indigestion tablets with milk which normally works when I do get heartburn but it is taking a while when doing the exercises.

    Does anyone do Insanity before work? I usually try to, but working as a cashier and being on my feet 8 hrs a day is a real killer! I also find I usually need an hour or so after the workout to recuperate lol.

    Just did Day 3 and I think it was a little bit easier than Day 2 except the last 10 minutes. I didn't get to finish it completely so now I'm feeling a little disappointed but I've just gotta work harder tomorrow!! :) Hope everyone is doing good with it!!
