Going to be finishing up week one this afternoon with plyometric cardio

Fantastic @Ewestlu, Week 1 over! How did you find it?

It's been good but tough! I've gotten through month 2 week 2 twice and quit before so this time I am determined to make it all the way through. This time I do feel I am able to keep up with the workouts better but it's still kicking my butt every day!

Hello everyone. Hope everybody had a great weekend. Today was Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. Can't believe u am already at week 4. Seems like a lot of people quit during month 2. I am hoping to battle thru

Keep up the posting and motivation!!!!!

Well done!!! I know the feeling, I just completed day 9, and I can't believe I'm already in week two and can already notice a difference in myself and my ability to do a bit more. I took a side by side pic and thought I would post it as I couldn't believe the change in 1 week. I'll post it in my next post

Drive by Helloooo! W2D1 as well as Wk2D1 C25K are in the books. Feeling awesome.

I have those dvds. I do it for a while then quit at the second month. Not good. Can't stay motivated

Week 4 day 2 Done!!!!!!! Cardio Power and Resistance.

Have a question. I feel like I need a warm-up for the warm-up. During the first round on every warm up my legs hurt like crazy I could never make it through the warm-ups I feel like I do awesome through the regular workout once I am warmed up. Does anyone else feel like this?

Congrats! I had that problem too during my first round of Insanity. Muscles should only be stretched when warm and does it ever feel good to stretch after that intense warmup! What I found helped was to take down my warmup intensity. While Shaun T's stretches are effective, I did better with spending much more time stretching my quads, hams and particularly my glutes before starting the regular workout.

I feel ya too! Pure Cardio for me today... intense. It's the one I found hardest so far so dreading it a little! Still, once I'm done with today I've done 10 days which means 1/6 complete!!

This week started month 2 max workouts. Holy crap! Month 1 circuits ARE the warmups for month2.

This morning I hit "play" for max plyo. All i got to say is. Level3 drills!!! WTH. 16 pushups Soooo many pushups. I sit here at work now and can hardly move my arms.

Yes! Quite often. I just remind myself to take the intensity down a notch if I feel my muscles seizing up.

Week 1 done.
during the workout I am not really out of breath but my legs give up a lot of times. Does this happen to anyone else also?

Yes me too! I am relatively out of breath but that isn't what causes me to take breaks, it's the muscles getting tired. I'm noticing tireness more in week 2, although I'm not sore at all anymore. Now I think it's just a case of pressing on and getting stronger so I can start to push myself. I find Pure Cardio the WORST, I hate it haha
