    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!

    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

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

    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!!

    Done with day 10!!! I find the Pure Cardio workout SO hard, I had to stop so much! I guess it could also just be general tiredness though - how did you guys feel by the 3rd/4th week? Were you still struggling a bit in the 2nd week? I'm feeling better on all the other workouts.

    WELL DONE!! I am nervous about month 2 already and I'm only 2 days into the 2nd week of month 1!! haha!! I'm telling myself that this round of insanity (my first) is for me to do the best I can and just keep going, if that means some days are better than others, then that's fine. It's not going to be the end of my fitness journey so I might go back in for round 2 in the future!!

    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

    Awwww thanks!!! I try but I don't think I have good posture most of the time. I need to think about it when I'm sitting at my desk
