Is anyone on here currently doing INSANITY? I would love to suffer through this with a couple other people rather than being in agony all by myself :smile:

    Oh and suffer we shall!

    Are you literally just starting today with the fit test? Or are you already done the fit test and starting the actual workouts? Either way good luck!

    I'm only on day 4 and I watched the video earlier, looks like its more squats a planks to further destroy my already destroyed legs and mid section.

    Yeah literally doing my fit test today, I started once before, got to week three but I had an injury (not caused by insanity) and had to stop, finally back!
    Let's keep each other motivated through the pain haha

    Sounds like a good plan, thanks for the friend add. Check in here when your done and let me know how it went. I'm pretty out of shape but we can always compare fitness tests and see how each person is progressing, my original numbers are pretty low :smile:

    I have cardio recovery tonight. I was all pumped about it until I quickly scrolled through the workout and seen all of the squats, squat holds, and squat thrusts, followed by lunges, lunge holds, and lunch thrusts. It's already painful to walk and I'm not going to comment on trying to sit down on the toilet.

    I can completely understand that. My knees don't like jumping too much either.

    So last night for me was cardio recovery and it wasn't too bad at all. Other than the deep slow squats and lunges with the pulses and holds the rest wasn't too bad and actually gave my legs a bit of time to recover. Today I am still in pain when I walk but I don't physically have to limp from DOMS.

    I'm sure with the day off yesterday, the planned workout tonight is going to be "special" and I'm going to feel the same tomorrow as I have been all week. Regardless, I am excited to get through it and get to the point where my muscles don't constantly hurt.

    How did everyone else to today? Which workout did you do and how did you find it?

    Well, no joke at all! Did the first 2 work outs, one yesterday and one today and boy! Shaun T really knows how to push you! I also watched the full body circuit and I think I'm gonna die when I do this one. lol

    I'll keep an eye on this thread to see how you go with Insanity if you don't mind me lurking :smile:

    So last night in Insanity was Pure Cardio and it was fantastic. It was the first time since I started that I was happy with the amount of work I was able to put in. It was also the first time that I made it all the way through the warm up and to the stretching without stopping. I didn't realize that there were no breaks in it and had to stop several times through the workout, the nice part was watching the machines stop too so it must be hard for people that are in top shape too.

    I am actually looking forward to the next time I get to do this DVD now that I know what it has in it.

    The good news is the muscle soreness in my entire body is starting to go away and that means that week two should be much more enjoyable than week one.

    Very excited to keep moving forward.

    I completed the program almost twice. My soreness went away after week two. I still do insanity but only 1-2x / wk. Loved it

    I'm only in week 1 but can't wait to get to month 2. All of the transformation videos I have seen seem to have the biggest changes there.
