Hello, I'm starting Insanity (officially) on August 1st and wanted to know if anyone else will be starting or would like to start at that time. I'd love to have some company on this insane journey with me. I want to earn that Insanity T-shirt. My C25K group on MFP is working really well so wanted to try and do the same with Insanity.

Are you up for the challenge?

    Yes, I believe they are all (except abs) around 55 min or so (like P90x)

    Yay! Thank you. My first 5K isn't until September and I'm starting week 4 of C25K next week so I'm definitely going to have some pretty rough days doing C25K and Insanity but I'm up for the challenge. :smile:

    I'm starting another round of insanity on 8/1. Let's go get it.

    How did your first round go? Did you loose or tone more...I almost purcharsed the set but I have 1 bad knee and I read theres a lot of jumping so didn't think this would really work for me

    You can modify the moves. I plan to take it easy on the jumping moves due to a previous knee injury.

    Call me INSANE.. but.. I think I'm in. I'm getting bored of running anyway.. and I love free t-shirts!

    I'm also lifting weights 3x/week. Think this will go good together?

    I did my best and forgot the rest. My cardiovascular capacity improved, I was able to run faster, longer. I got toned a little bit and saw results in my core area. This round is more nutrition focused versus to fitness focused. I want to continue to get better as far as fitness is concerned but I need to focus on clean nutrition. I say go for it, know your limits and stop if needed and always do your best and forget the rest.

    I'm starting another round of insanity on 8/1. Let's go get it.

    I am just starting my 5th week of insanity. If you have not done it before you will all love it. I plan on doing a Insanity/P90X hybrid as soon as I finish this round. Dig Deeper!

    Just completed my first week of Insanity. I was just reading up on the Beachbody Challenge and am excited about the challenge. Another great reason to start a fitness program.

    There is nothing better than being entered to win prizes for doing workouts you are already doing. Membership is free or you can choose a $2.99 membership that allows you to make customizable menu and then print out your shopping list.

    I am excited for all of you as you begin this journey together. Just wish I could do it with you. I cannot wait a couple of weeks. Now is the time for me!

    If you have any questions prior to or during your workouts let me know. I would love to help you reach your health and wellness goals during your 60 day journey.

    The Beachbody Challenge link is http://www.teambeachbody.com/connect/beachbody-challenge/pledge. If you have never signed up for Team Beachbody you would simply sign up for one of the two membership options. When it asks who referred you if you do not mind entering legacychangers I would appreciate it.

    I am actually doing TurboFire right now, but plan to do Insanity after that. I would love to follow you in your INSANE journey, and at least be a support system for you! If your interested, just add me as a friend. Hope to talk to you soon! Nicole

    For those already doing Insanity, Do you like them better then P90X?

    Loving both equally, but since I'm in it for the abs and muscle, P90X.
