    Ok, were you all in good shape before you started insanity? Can a 200 lb 48 year old who basically walks for excercise take on the challenge?

    This is my 2nd time starting Insanity. The first time I started it I had been working out for 3 months, but it was still very difficult. But I had to stop not because I couldn't do it but it was a different reason. This time around I hadn't really worked out for 2 months and it was extremely difficult. I was really sore for a few days. But for me as of right now it's completely doable. But I think for you, you have to see how your health it. It's different for everyone. Maybe ask your doctor? I have read here that people have started out doing Insanity when they weren't in really good shape but they did it. Again, it depends on the person. So I can't really answer that question. Sorry!

    Did Cardio Power and Resistance today. I actually enjoyed this workout today. Crazy!! Don't get me wrong though, still wanted to hit Shaun T and all the other people in the dvd. Lol. But felt really good once I was done.

    I pushed play and did the pure cardio. God...I hate Shaun T while working out. Lol. Although I guess I must have been a little tired today. I burned a little bit less calories than last time I did pure cardio. Oh well...at least I did it. I will push myself more tomorrow.

    Cinico- MFP has set me at 1200 calories. So I am eating that and my exercise calories. So I think I am doing ok calories wise. I think I just didn't get enough sleep last night.

    I was just reading your blog and just wanted to say that you're doing great!! I can't wait to see results.

    It was really difficult the first day. I thought I was going to pass out just doing the fit test. It's still really difficult but I am getting a little better. I still have to take breaks and I can't go as fast as the people on the dvd. So I think you just have to continue doing it and like Cinico said do the best you can.

    I am not in great shape at all.....but I'm getting there! :) I did one roumd of P90X before this, but before that I would walk every now and then or play on my Wii fit.
    Now - Insanity!!! It is kicking mny *kitten* every day! My face turns bright red, I can barely breathe, and I still take lots of breaks!! BUT I DO IT!!!! And YOU CAN TOO!!! :)
    My secrets are:
    I remind myself that it works IF YOU WORK IT.
    There is a pause button! Use it briefly - but it is ok to use it!
    I LOVE seeing results and I FEEL GREAT when I'm done each day!
    The hardest part is pushing play.....once you've done that, you're on your way to health and higher self esteem!
    Remember - YOU ARE DOING THIS FOR YOU!!!!

    Hope that helps even just a little bit!

    Pure Cardio Day 5 today, it was intense. Made it through only having to stop 3-4 times for a quick water break. Endurance is definitely building. Anyone have any suggestions for sore calves? I've tried stretching them out before and after, but still insanely sore and tight the next day. I know it'll get better as I go, but everyone wonders why I'm walking funny, lol.
