Insanity buddies?

I just started Insanity and did my 2nd workout today. My husband even joined me today for support and he was winded. He said the workout is harder than what they do for training in the military [he's active currently]. We both ended up flicking off Shaun T., LOL. Either way, though, to answer your question...when they're doing [for example] push-ups...I am not at the point of doing those on the floor yet, so I put my hands on a wall and do wall push-ups! It might not be as hardcore, but it's still moving and working out. If there is a part of the work out that doesn't work for you right now, replace it with another exercise that you do know until you're able to do what they're doing. Don't get discouraged...you can do it!

I have never heard of Insanity, but am definitely intrigued now!

Insanity works!!!! I like Insanity because it is a 60 day program rather than the P90X 90 day program. Short term goals to reach the long term!

Start and if you forget a day, just keep moving on and don't think about the missed day.

I am starting week 2 next week. Anyone feel free to add me if you would like. My pictures on my MFP profile has my before and after for my Insanity results. I am starting again because i enjoyed my Holiday too much! Not much weight to lose, but enough, that the new clothes I bought are starting to get snug!

Good luck to all of you!

Insanity is AWESOME! I thought it'd be "easy" because before I did it I also did Turbofire and P90X but nope… it was still brutal! But its fun and fast paced and I really enjoyed it.

I've been doing Turbo Fire on and off for a while, started the 5 day inferno today. Started tracking food today too, please message me if you're doing turbo fire and have seen any results. i'm 10 pounds down since i started to eat healthier, but more to go!

How can I estimate how many calories burned with sanity check?

I think as a general rule, calories don';t mean a huge amount with this thing - essentially if you are doing this and succeeding the excercises the lbs are going to fall off i think.

get measurements of your waist, bust, hell even do your neck. fat is falling off fast here, start waist size was 34' - my trousers feel loose - my waist is shrinking fast

Just finished day 4 - cardio recovery

Day 3 is a killer, that cardio resistance is very painful -

my calves are burning up! might be a good idea to do specifically some calf stretching before you begin the warmup! ive noticed there is no calf stretch in the warmup session and alot of these excercises are torturing theb ack of your legs - particularly when he does Basketballs, Jumping squats etc one after the other

if anyones about to attempt this one just do a stretchof this area to ward off the inevitable pain!

xo good luck Insanityers

Yay! We have a small little support group of happy sweaty determined people. happy days are here to stay!

Make sure before you do Day 3 you do a specific calf stretch! i was walking like a cripple all day on my 4th day and had to get someone to massage my muscles out - it was agonising.

your off to a good start -- Good luck newly found chum x We will all get there together x

Hey everyone! Tomorrow is fit test #2 for me. So day 15! It's definitely a rough workout, and i personally have to take a ton of breaks, but i know it will be worth it! I got through about 35 days last time (around a year ago) and saw great results.

I have a few friends who have done really well on insanity. I'm planning on purchasing within the next couple of weeks. Good luck

I completed day 2 yesterday and ended up lying on the floor afterwards shaking for 5 mins... I can't walk properly today and all of my collegues are too busy laughing at me to do any work. The only way I can get down the stairs today is backwards! I am struggling to do pushups... I actually managed to face plant myself, so not only am I walking like a 90 year old I also have a split lower lip.... Not the best look! haha

I am loving it though... just can't wait to be able to walk down the stairs forwards!

Was laughing - hopefully WITH you! - at your story... it sounds so familiar! Great to hear that you're not discouraged!

I'm getting back to Instanity today... I have picked it up many time but I always get side tracked with the millon other things I have going on in my life... but today is the start of a new me... I can't wait to do the fit test tonight..

Day 2 and 3 are hard .. the warmup doesnt include calf stretches so imho do these just before pressing play seperatelt, your legs will thank you for it the next day! good luck x

My thighs are fine today so can just about get down the stairs... however my calves are like lead my stride length is about 6 inches :S Despite that I'm not discouraged... yet!

Although I did have second thoughts first thing this morning, as the mile walk to work from the train station was quite embarrassing... I got over taken by 2 little old ladies with zimmer frames who stopped and asked if I was ok!

:-D

I am starting week 2 of Insanity today and am loving it. It is definitely very challenging and I often find myself getting light headed in the middle of the workouts (I am wondering if I'm not getting enough water during the day or aren't breathing properly). But I love the feeling of accomplishment after the 40 minutes are over. Can't wait see the end results!

Feel free to add me, would love to have some buddies to help motivate and inspire me to keep pushing

im on week 2, i started the 20th! week 2 seems a little bit easier but still brutal!
