    I'm an Insanity grad; I loved the program, and every once in a while I have to do a workout from it because I miss it! Congrats for getting to the second month! I remember feeling like, "I've got this!" And then the second month arrived. Total shock, once again....Shaun T. is a great motivator and can really push you to your limits. You'll continue to grow stronger, and increase your endurance like you wouldn't believe. Keep at it! You'll be amazed at what your body will do. Like someone else said, you'll look back at the first month's workouts and think they're easy, as you go along in the program. I also have done T25. I didn't like it as much as Insanity, but it certainly gives you an amazing workout in 25 minutes. It gets the job done, and it's nice to have a modifier for those days when you feel you need to tone it down a bit if you've been working too hard. Good luck with completing the program! You can do it. It makes you feel so good!!

    Thanks for the encouragement! Yes... the second month is a shock! ( just when I was getting used to some of the exercises in the first month!) But... I do feel like my endurance is increasing and I really am feeling more toned. Can't wait to be an Insanity grad like you guys! :glasses:

    I did the Shred in March of last year- lost 11lbs but not a whole lot of inches. Then I moved on to Insanity in April last year- lost 19lbs total and went down 2 pants sizes. It was tough. I never want to do that again, lol. Stick with it!
    I'm now doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution. Skipped phase 1 though because it was too easy.

    Just wanted to update everyone: I was wrong when I said I had minimal results from insanity. I honestly didn't lose too many inches, which is what I wanted, but I did get on the scale this morning and yesterday, and I weighed in at 129. When I started I was about 133. So that's 4lbs. May not seem like a lot, but for someone my size, it's a pretty big deal.

    Also wanted to update you on T25. Did the Alpha circuit yesterday and either I was really exhausted yesterday, or it was hard as heck LOL. I think it was a bit of both. It was like a mini insanity. It was rougher on my knees too, so from now on, I may do more of the modified movements in that particular workout until my knees get stronger.

    I LOVE Shaun T. He seems like such an awesome guy, and he's a great motivator. Would definitely try out T25!!

    4 pounds! Nice loss! :smile:
    How many different circuits in T25? I can't wait to do a 25 minute workout instead of an hour! lol (And I was NOT loving Shaun T yesterday... Max Interval Circuit! I will love him tomorrow though...my REST day!)

    Im starting Insanity month 2 tonight.....EEEEEEEK! Im very nervous.

    I thought the recovery week would be a walk in the park but my god was I wrong :smile:

    The guys on here have probably finished insanity by now as this is an older thread - would be good to know your results after month 2?!

    They sell the DVDs on amazon, you may be able to pick up cheap second hand ones on eBay. Otherwise maybe check out YouTube - there may be clips on there :)
