Starting Insanity Max 30 December 15th

Wow you guys are scaring me. I'm supposed to get my DVD set today, if so I'll start tomorrow. I have done a lot of Jillian Michaels including body revolution, as well as Insanity, Turbofire, p90x, Brazilian butt lift and T25. T25 wasn't as challenging as I'd hoped and as a busy mom now I am really trying to stick to 30 min workouts. So I'm both looking forward to and dreading this!

So when you max out you rest for a bit then get back to it?

When I max out, I write down my time, take a few breathes and then try to jump back in as soon as I can. So maybe a 10-15 second rest. Sometimes I'll grab a sip of water.

I really pushed myself today!! I maxed out at 19:11 on Tabata power. So frigging proud of myself,I kept saying don't stop but the abs section with the L holds and scissor abs did me in lol. Tomorrow I have Friday night fight, so.....yeah based on review, I'm definitely not maxing out that high tomorrow LOL, I'll try though!

WTG, you'll have good days and not so good, but I know you'll see improvement day by day.

I look for new ideas in meals but pretty much do what is "normal" for me. If I lose weight with a food menu that is nothing like I normally eat, I'll put it back on later. So I make better choices, eat less of the "not as good" food and leave myself indulgent days to make my Italian mom happy, especially at the holiday's.
I put on a few pounds initially with Max, then lost it and one pound extra. T25, I stayed the same, being close to my goal, which was okay but I needed something a little more. He repeated too much with that I felt in cardio.

I'm debating doing an old DVD today or doing Cardio Challenge again or jumping to Month 2 Cardio to see how it goes. (My ADD brain with exercise)

I think you will see results and they will be "yours". Someone who is younger, older, has different weight to lose, different metabolism, they all will have different numbers. You will learn if it gives you the results you seek after a few weeks. Either way, your heart will be getting a great workout and you'll learn a little about yourself too.

I LOVED the second month cardio Max Out Cardio! I felt funny jumping ahead but he jokes in the beginning, You might be on your second month or just looking for another challenge" It had moves I had done before in tabata workouts but I liked them, basketball, oblique runs, punch/jump moves. I maxed out at water breaks so it worked out well. ; )
Tough but not a "dread factor".

Just finished week 1 with Pulse! I'm loving this so far!!! I'm so glad they've moved to the 30 minute time frame for their workouts!!

@Altruista75‌ - I thought about doing Pulse today, but I did a 30 minute TRX workout instead. How did you like it?

Took my rest day today and pushed friday night fight round 1 for tomorrow. Then ill either rest again or do pulse, then its week 2.

I skipped ahead a bit and really love the second half even more, not much longer in duration but some new moves, different combos. I think I'll try abs before the workout next time and see how I do refreshed, doing it after is tough. ; )

Took the 2nd rest day instead of pulse, friday fight later today when I reach home then tmrw begins week 2. busy time which after today i will become less busy, so more accountability.

Cardio Challenge, Maxed Out at 7:16.....not happy with that, but something to build on....camera didn't last for 30 minutes so I don't have a video....just jumped back in after I maxed and kept on plugging away.

My shoulder keeps me from doing the in and out shoulder taps (left shoulder surgery less than 2 months ago).
