Just finished my recovery week of Insanity! Day off tomorrow... then starting month 2. I must have been INSANE to start this... "The Shred" was soooooo much easier but I'm loving the results from Insanity. Anyone go from the Shred to Insanity? Not sure how tough month 2 will be... but I'm sticking with it!

Awesome job sticking it out!!! You'll be fine.
Remember what the very first week felt like? That's how month 2 is going to feel.0 -
im just about completing week 3 of month 1, I cant wait to try month 2 but my mates at work who have done it say it is nuts, like starting all over again!
I've done Resistance & power today and couldnt imagine going another 15-20 mins on top of that!
Let us know what its like!0 -
I did exactly what you did. I went from the 30 day shred to Insanity. I have two days, including today, left on Insanity. I'll be an official Insanity Grad on Sunday.
Month two is God awful. I was scared to death starting it, and I had good reason to be. I'm just glad it's almost over. Hard to say about my results. I'm already pretty close to goal and insanity didn't really get me much closer. I've gotten a lot stronger, though! Some moves in the second month, especially the floor moves, I couldn't physically do them, period. But I can do them now, and almost for the whole time
Good luck. It's HARD though, and the videos are longer.
ETA: I'm not trying to scare you. My post sounded awful. lol. You can definitely do this. I didn't know if I would be able to make it through month two...but I just took it a day at a time. Just do your best and you will rock it

I made it through Insanity, but I did it every other day because it was kicking my butt. I thought I would hurl on the Day 1 Fit Test.
>>> ALRIGHT PEOPLE LEVEL 1 DRILLS!!! - I hate you Shaun T (lol). <<<
It took twice as long doing it every other day, but the results were still good. I also think a few recovery days mixed in there are a good thing.0 -
Great that you did it! And yes... those damn Level 1 drills! lol I have to hit pause sometimes to catch my breath! At least Shaun T doesn't annoy me like Jillian Michael's did on her Shred video! I used to wear my Ipod & listen to music when I did it!0

LOL!!^^^ THATS EXACTLY HOW ITS GOING TO BE!!! I just finished 2 days ago went from 209 to 186 and I loved it!!! But you will get better your body will be drained but you will continue to push through. Its super tough but you get stronger and faster as the program progresses and you will find yourself looking back at month 1 like wow this looks super easy now lol you'll do great good luck!!!! 0 -

I just posted amount month 2 except no one replied! LOL tomorrow should be my day 3 of month 2. (Instead I'm going I repeat today's work out since I stopped half way thru) it's pretty intense... I'm truly hoping I get stronger and am able to keep up better. I'm in pretty good shape and I've always been an athlete but this sh#* is difficult!!! Month 2 is were the "magic happens" (so I hear!) so keep pushing! I don't have many friends on this.. I really just use MFP I read the threads. I log my food and exercise but I'm my very strict with it. Anyone doing Insanity feel free to add me!0

Just wanted to lose a few pounds... which I did...but am doing it to tone up mainly. I'm too old for this... lol! But I'm going to stick with it! Good luck to you...

Thanks again! Yes... glad we started BEFORE summer! Enough time to be ready! Are you going to repeat the entire 2months?!!! 0 -
As a warning, the last 2 weeks you're motivation will drop significantly. This is from my own personal experience and other posts I have read as well.
I find reading body transformation stories and perusing before and after pics helps replenish some of my lost motivation prior to my workout.0 -
Yes, definitely repeating both months! I thought about just repeating month 2 but I hear doing the whole thing over again is better on your body!! And I hear you'll get way more out of month one than you did the first time since you're stronger . I'm super excited I am so confident this program will keep working as long as we stick to it!0

Always inspiring to see and read about how some people change. Thanks.0
