    Day 29 - Core cardio and balance

    This was day one of doing this. I like this work out. When you hear recovery week, this wouldn't come to mind though :)
    I felt great after doing the work out

    Keep pushing play people :)

    Last night I did my first Pure cardio AND cardio abs. OMG... some of those moves I can't actually physically do!!! But was stoked when I checked out my watch afterwards and saw I had burned 554cal doing the workout :) my heart got to around 175bpm!

    Today was my second time doing Pure Cardio. I found I didn't have to take as many breaks today! I'm so proud of myself, and I can tell my endurance and strength are already getting better, even after just 1 week. There workouts are tough, but they will be SO WORTH IT in the end!

    Day 36 completed - Max interval circuit

    This was the 1st day of month 2

    I took more breaks than they did, I couldn't keep up with what they were doing, some moves I couldn't even do myself, but I didn't''t give up, I pushed through to the very end... Even after the first 10 minutes I was thinking what did I get myself into. I did enjoy the work out though and I think the more days that pass I will get better and stronger :)

    Today I did Pure Cardio, this will only be Day 5 for me in the program, but I have seen some self improvement. Normally I would have to take 5-10secs rest shake it out twice throughout the warm up even, and today just powered right through it all. I feel stronger and I have better energy. But, the Insanity program isn't the only thing I do, also still attend the gym 3-4 times out the week.

    Have any of you guys seen some self improvement you noticed? Also, another thought, since starting this work out program, I feel hungry constantly, I'm not sure if it's because I'm burning so many calories or the vigorous activity. If anyone else has experienced this or any info. I would love to hear about it. (:

    @MommaRaven I did pure cardio today as well! Experienced the same thing! I didnt need as many breaks as normal. Normally If I have to do a break no more than 10 secs. and get back in. Today I felt stronger and I felt energized thats for sure. (: So congrats! because any improvement w/ this program is a victory for sure.

    How is every body doing? I have been sick for 2 weeks and just starting back into Insanity last week. I am finding it hard to motivate myself to log my food every day, but still am feeling good about where I am heading. I am feeling the need to get motivated though as I am heading into 4 weeks @ it. Anyone else feeling the same?

    I've got some ongoing issues with my neck discs, so unfortunately I am out of Insanity for at least the near term. I see a doc on Thursday and depending on what he says, I may be out of impact cardio for the long term. Good luck to all of you and keep going.

    I just started month 2.
    I'm glad recovery week is over. Doing the same workout 6 days in a row was tough.
    But doing the fit test, then another workout straight after killed me!!!! That was ridiculous.
    Also I think I have separated abdominal muscles. Hopefully not, but I'll be getting that checked out next week,
