I'm on day 14, rest day today. !!

Feel free to add me we can encourage each other through it.

Think i'm addicted to the workouts already )

I'm sure you can get onto Round 2, and 3 and 4 and more! Its not easy, the Max workouts in month 2 are really tough but month 1 will set you up for it. Just focus and go, as Shaun likes to say!

Aside from the health benefits, another positive side-effect I've found is massive boost in motivation. I remember during Round 1 feeling completely in the zone, super-motivated and just eating all the right food and never having anything unhealthy. It was like "well I'm doing Insanity so whats the point of wasting it with a slice of cake or a packet of crisps?" Then when I finished Round 1, the motivation slipped back quite noticeably. I would have the odd chocholate biscuit, bottle of lager etc. Now being back on it again, I've found that motivation has come back again and I'm totally in the zone. I guess the effort needed to complete a workout is so much that you dont want to have wasted it all with bad food. Shaun T really is a great motivator. My kids think he's hilarious - "That man just shouts at you all the time daddy!" but then "Daddy, you look so thin!" makes it all worth while.

Hi,

I am on week No 3 now. So far i like it the program. Did my second test yesterday and there is some improvement however since starting Insanity i gained 2 pounds and inches i gained stead loosing inches i gain little bit in my legs ( which i very annoying as my jeans don't feel very comfortable now).

I have changed my macros to 40/40/20 bit i am struggling with protein intake. I don't mind eating meat - but there is so much my body can take in.

No sore muscles so far, felt my legs only once - after my Fit Test. I think I was expecting more after reading reviews.

The thing with insanity and other home exercise plans is you get out what you put in, the challenge is to push yourself as hard as you can, first work on form making sure you do every exercise completely correctly those little shortcuts that let you do more faster stop the correct muscles being worked properly. Once you have the form down speed up as much as you can if you're not relived when the exercise changes and you move on to punish a different group of muscles then you need to really hammer the exercises in. remember it's designed so people at all levels of fitness can benefit from it, work at 100% especially at the point when told to go as fast as you can and you'll know you've had a good work out at the end and feel the benefits. When your hurting with 15 seconds of an exercise remaining keep going full pelt, remember pain is weakness leaving the body, push it out hard! )
