I'm doing Insanity mainly for fitness, but yes, that does mean losing around 25 pounds. I'm about halfway there on the weight, and feeling great. MFP is the perfect companion for the workouts for me, that diet plan looked like way too much like hard work: you've already got me working out for an hour every day, I'm not spending another 3 hours preparing food!

I'm in month 1 of round two, just 4 more days to go. I've made minor tweaks to the plan this time - adding in a pure cardio on my 2nd fit test day, and doing max recovery on a Thursday because cardio recovery is BORING. I think skipping month 1 after the first round is a HUGE mistake - you miss out on the intensity that the shorter workout allows. I'm really feeling the benefits in my muscles. Having said that, I'm also looking forward to big gains in endurance when I go back onto month 2.

My fit test result have stalled since the end of round 1, but I'm running a 5k on Saturday mornings and it's amazing how fast my times are falling. I've shaved nearly 3 1/2 minutes off my PB in one month, doing no running at all during the week - just a friendly football game (soccer) for an hour or so and a game of squash. I'll probably keep going with Insanity until 3 conditions are met: 1) I have a six pack, 2) My fitness stops improving and 3) I'm bored of it or want to do something else more (like a marathon, maybe).

Started round 2 of Insanity yesterday after finishing Focus T25. Plan is to complete this for a 2nd time, and move on to The Asylum. Anybody have any input on Asylum?

I woke up late today so wasn't able to do my Insanity. But I did the Fit Test last week and I had improvements on every move, so that was exciting. I did Max Cardio on Monday and that wasn't too bad. Yesterday was Max Recovery and wow am I sore! I remember not liking it, lol. All that plank work tore my elbows up; I just do it on my rug cuz I slip too much on a yoga mat. But I don't remember them getting as tore up last time around. And I must not have pushed myself as hard last time cuz I don't remember my sides being so sore. Yay for feeling it this time, lol.

I'm on week 7 and yesterday I wasn't able to do my recovery as I simply run out of time. But as i did a good workout at the gym I'm not going to feel guilty about that. Today is a hard one as I do legs at the gym and then there is Max Interval Circuit as a follow up cardio. and then it's 6 more workouts for me. I must say I lost some inches and I feel fantastic. And my diet improved so much. But I'm really happy the end is so close. I think I'm going to incorporate the month 1 routines as my cardio workouts for my weight training. And I will try some on the month 2 from time to time to have some variations.
how is Focus T25? I know it's short comparing to Insanity but how intense is it?

Today I did Max Plyo. I didn't know how much I'd be able to do with that pain from yesterdays workout, but it seemed fine. I think the 123 Heisman in the warmup was the only time I really felt it. So I got a good workout in. Month two/Week one done.

Day 2 done yesterday and oh dear i thought i was going to die lol, going onto day 3 today with a little apprehension :S

Congrats! Way to stick with it. Make sure you do the Recovery Week! It is when I saw alot of my result set in

Dig Deep!

Well didn't manage to do day 3 yesterday as i was in too much pain from day 2 but i am going to try it today. Think I'm going to try a different approach and maybe do 2 days on and one day off until i can really get into the swing of doing it. Need to ease myself in haha

Wow I haven't worked out in five days! I'm away from home. I wasn't able to get in a workout on that last day. I did do a lot of walking over four days, but I also ate like crap, drank lots of beer, didn't drink enough water, ate right up until passing out...but today I was able to finally get in two workouts.Max Recovery and then a Rockin Body workout. Still feel sluggish inside; in serious need of some raw veggies. Went and picked up some fruit tonight, but I'm excited abut a huge salad tomorrow!!!

Whoops, I meant my dad was knocked out, not knocked off, lol. So he wasn't ready to work out today so I did the next workout, still saving Core Cardio & Balance. Today then started Week 7, with a Fit Test and then Max Interval Circuit. Wheew! That was trying, for sure. I had to take lots of breaks but I still got a good calorie burn. And I got that yummy salad!!
