Starting Insanity on 06/09.

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'm an Insanity survivor and was going to do another round but just started p90x3 instead. Good luck it's an awesome program and you will feel amazing! I did it after months of being lazy so you will make it!!

    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.
  • I'll be there too! It'll be my first time doing insanity, but I'm extremely excited and motivated! Let's do this!

    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:
  • I can already tell this is going to kick my butt, my legs are really sore but I'm ready to keep going!

    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.
  • today I just finished day 3 of month 1 and it's definitely intense but I'm starting to love the pain. looking for other insane ;) people to keep accountable with.

    Im on day 7 month 1, omg sweaty work out but love it. I take alot of breaks but I can feel my body getting stronger
  • I modify moves as well. I have to do push ups on my knees and can't keep up when coming up and jumping but I try my best. I have to accommodate the workouts so my knees won't hurt but I definitely feel like I'm getting a good workout and can't wait to see the results
  • Currently on day 4 Cardio Recovery, and after the first two days I felt like I was going to die, but now I enjoy it and the pain has eased away. What's really miraculous is I lost 5 pounds sense last Friday. Even though I can barely do the workouts that involve push-ups, because I'm 5,5 and now 201 pounds. I still push myself and I'm seeing wonderful results with just in a few days with Insanity.

    Oh my gosh... Pure Cardio... So intense. I'm proud of myself for finishing it though.

    I guess I'm the only one left in the thread, but I just finished week two! It's getting a lot easier, except for yesterday when I tried to do Pure Cardio after eating a big lunch. That was a tough workout. I haven't lost any weight yet but I've gotten a few compliments that I'm looking better.

    I'm still here with you! I fell off the wagon for 4 days due to travel... Restarting week 2 of month 2 today.

    Congrats on week 2! It will start to become easier every week! Be really mindful on what you eat. When I did Insanity the first time, I just ate whatever I wanted (thinking I was burning so many calories, that it wouldnt matter) and I ended up gaining because I added muscle and didnt eat deficient to burn fat.
