    Max Power today. Month 2 is not a game. I maxed out at 5.45. My legs were on fire around the 4 minute mark. And my arms are still screaming at me.

    Those that are already on month 2, do you already see a difference? How much have you lost?

    I haven't taken my measurements yet. I meant to do it this past weekend, but I got busy. I plan to do it this weekend. But in terms of weight, I've lost about 3-5 pounds. I've found that I shed more inches than pounds in Shaun T's workouts.

    This scares me! On day two of month one, and my legs are killing me! Looks like I have a lot more of that to look forward to as the program progresses.

    @bug1114‌ Don't be scared of it! Embrace that! The great thing about this workout is that you're actually invited to hit that failure point and Max Out. You hit that because you earned that by going 100%. Then you stop and take a breath and then jump right back into it and go hard again. I always found it liberating to be able to push hard and hit that wall. That quick reset is just what i need to get back into it. When I started the program, I was maxing out FAST. Now I'm able to extend that out a little bit at a time every time I do it. That tangible goal to beat the previous Max time by even just ONE second is SO satisfying when you do it. We got you. You got this!

    Yesterday I started week 2 off with Cardio Challenge. Maxed out at 16:36 which was a little more than 4 minutes better than week 1.

    Did Tabata Strength today! Felt so invigorated and really pushed hard, my calf has let up a bit. Maxed out earlier today, it happens. 6:40

    Hey I did Cardio challenge yesterday and did Tabata Power today, holy cow push up moves, my mortal enemy! Well I know where I need to improve :) I'm really enjoying these workouts, I did insanity before but never finished because the workouts got too long. These have everything in it that I love in only 30 mins.

    Those moving Plyo pushups are a real killer. The first time I did those last week, I thought my wrists we're going to break. They were a little easier today, though.

    This morning was Max Out Sweat. I maxed out at 5.15. I normally try to make it passed the first water break (depending on where it falls), but that didn't happen today, lol.

    16:40 in Sweat Fest today....can't tell you how much better this workout feels than the rest of MAX 30. Then again, I'm biased to the original Insanity and Asylum.

    Today called for Max Out Power, but my arms & back are still super sore from all of Tuesday's shenanigans, so I swapped it out for Max Out Cardio. I'm not overly concerned about soreness, but I am concerned about injury. It really comes down to listening to your body.

    But I maxed out at 6.14. I also feel like it was a good call b/c I overslept on Monday so I missed doing Max Out Cardio that morning, and since I go to spin Monday evenings I couldn't do it that night.
