A friend and I are planning to kick off the new year with our first round of insanity. I'm pretty curious about it. We are mostly worried about the everyday committment. How long are the workouts each day? Do you love it?

I can only say for the first round they are all less then 1 hour. Depending on the DVD you are doing that particular day. If you go online to the insanity website it says how long each disc is.

Redneckwm....when did you do your first round? You will have to keep me up to date on your new fit test:)

Goobegone-good for you, that is a lot to do in 5 months....where are you running your marathon?

alyz.....it goes by real fast...once you are through the warm up, before you know it, you are doing the ending stretch!

wilblnd7...I thought the same, not a lot for the weight loss but it changed my body for the better I am sure, and my endurance during running improved a lot!

I started it end of September and got through about 2 or 3 weeks and then stopped. Going to pick back up again.

is this a good work out if you have lower back problems?

To what extent?

I am starting my recovery week on Thursday! Then on to month 2!!! I am excited for new workouts and yet scared at the same time, I hear the month 2 videos are brutal....Not sure what to expect.

Aww Thanks! To tell you the truth, I was kinda looking forward to the recovery week....but now you are the second person to tell me it is still a great butt kick LOL

Oh well, I have had great results so far and really looking forward to seeing how much my body will transform even more :happy:

I have degen. disc disease, arthritis, bone spurs

Then no, you don't need to do Insanity. You need to consult your physician.

edorice said it well above.....

I did cardio power and resistance this am. It has only been a couple of months since my first round ended, but I almost forgot how much you feel your abs working through the whole workout! I was dripping sweat after 9 mins warming up

redhotsmacker-did you do the recovery today-or is that tomorrow?

stoooo-are you going again for round 2?

Not yet, the one problem I had with Insanity is I feel I lost a little muscle mass. My arms shrunk 2 inches each. Plus I want to start running some 5 and 10k's next year, so I am currently doing a hybrid that I came up with of Couch to 5k and P90X. Once I complete the 5k program I may do another round of Insanity, or just wait for P90X MC2 or Insanity's The Asylum.

Are you a coach?

Today is the start of my cardio core and balance! To tell you the truth though, I think I am kinda looking forward to the MAX workouts, I think this week is going to make me bored doing the same workout 6 days in a row.... I also googled results from month 2 and found some people quoting that they found the most change in the way they looked after the 7th week....so I am really hoping that these next 2 weeks go by super fast, I want to test this theory! LOL :happy:

Great job on the cardio power and resistance! I really like that one!

We have a P90X and Insanity thread going on if anybody wants to stop by.

Stoooo....I would actually like to go and get certified to be a personal trainer. I don't know if Beachbody is where I would start or to hit a school!?!?!

Today-Pure Cardio.....I love it when he says.......*This *kitten* is bannanas!*

Yeah I always laugh when he says that. "Yo!" As far as becoming a PT ( I did some research), you can get certified through on-line courses. A growing trend is a lot of PT's are becoming coaches, because they are not limited to the direct area they live in. They can coach people all over the country. I plan on getting certified in the near future, but may start with nutrition.
