Hi All,
I am starting Insanity workout from Monday 06/09. I have been doing Jillian Michaels Slim Down plan for last 4 weeks. Based on what I have read so far, Insanity is not very easy but I am pretty sure I can at least finish the warm up part without taking a break ;-) .

Anyone want to join me in this insane activity? Will post the results of Fit Test Every time we do it.

The main thing is to Dig Deeeeeeep and do the best we can. The competition is with ourselves.

    I started yesterday so I'm up for keeping up to date with you :) I will say that I am planning on taking 2 rest days a week instead of the one built into the program. I think it'll be easier for me to complete it with that extra buffer. If I get it done then the second time round I'll do it properly.

    Already started, but I've been off it for a few days.
    I won't make excuses. I'd love to start back again. You should make a group!

    I'm in the second week of month 2!

    It gets easier in that you can do more without taking as many breaks the longer you do it. I have to modify some exercises occasionally due to a wrist problem, but you feel like a machine when you've knocked out the workout you weren't sure you could finish! I don't have my fit test info with me, but I'll post it later. :smile:

    Just finished my first workout after the fit test. It was hard and I had to take a lot of breaks, but it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be.

    How's everyone else doing?

    It's been difficult for me to keep pushing through the whole workout. I know the people in the video take breaks themselves so I don't feel so bad, but I definitely need more motivation

    I just started Insanity on Monday 6/16/2014. Anyone on here an "older" person ?(40s)
    Insanity is hard but I feel pretty good and accomplished afterward. Sweaty, but good.
    Does anyone here do the workouts barefoot?

    I took a few breaks myself or I had to modify a few moves in order to do them. I did wall push-ups and ran in place instead of the go down to floor with 4 push-up and then jump back up. But I DIDN'T QUIT, I KEPT GOING. That's whats important to make up your mind and move! I am confident that I will get stronger.

    I do them barefoot on carpeting too and haven't had a problem. Although, I stopped doing the sprint/hurdle jumps at the end and just did tiny hops because my knees started to feel like they had had enough.
