The row push ups are tough! @sbcmuse I found it hard to take my before pictures. It was a harsh reality check for me. Anyway, 2 more days and week one is complete! We can do it! I usually do the workout in the morning but today I couldn't. So I've just had to do it in the evening. The old me would have skipped it but I'm really glad I did the workout! I think this group helped motivate me! So thank you guys!!! Woohoo1

Nice motivation! Glad to hear!0 -
Geekytea and jullzgood. This program is killing me but I'll take the compliment.... even if I feel like I am killing nothing but my garage floor.... and some of those women are like frogs! They jump so well and so high. Sigh. If I did not do it first thing I would never get it done after. There's too much going on in the evening. My husband leaves for work at 530 so I have to be done by then And these early mornings are rough. I've heard Friday's work out is a beast.0

Yeah it is, Friday is the day you try to push as far as you can, hence the name Friday fight. You'll enjoy it. And trust me, you will get a lot better the more you keep it up. Make sure you land softly to protect your knees and joints and by the end you'll be jumping longer and higher. Don't compare yourself to those people in the program, they were already fit before starting the program. Just try to do better than the last day and you'll make amazing progress.1 -
Y'all. Friday was not my best day. I maxed at 5 minutes and barely made it to that far. I think I am going to try to do again tomorrow and get my head right. I was tired this morning and did not give it my all. Since tomorrow is pulse and it's on the same DVD I may redo today's work out. By the time I got to 20 minutes my husband came in and needed help finding dress shoes so I paused the DVD and when I came back my stamina and motivation were gone. I finished it but in a very slack fashion. I'm going to redo it tomorrow. Ugh. Keep me motivated people!!!0

I found days workout quite tough. But on the other hand, I enjoyed the pace though it was intense as usual. I'm excited to be close to completing 1 week! I'm looking forward to pulse, I might do some yoga afterwards and on Sunday a yoga and core workout. Nothing too heavy. Also, I will was wondering if you all are doing any special diet alongside? Are you following the nutrition plan?0
-
I am following the nutrition plan to an extent, but I plan to tighten up more this week. I'm a life long vegetarian but I do eat egg whites even though I don't like them. A lot of my protein sources have carbs in higher amounts so the high protein diet can be a challenge for me. I also like sweets which Is a challenge to get past. Fruits and veggies are not a problem for me as I enjoy them. I need to find a shake I like that does not cost as much as shakeology. Any suggestions? Night.0

I'm not following their nutrition plan, no. I follow flexible eating, Aka if it fits your macros. Best thing I've ever done, and you aren't constricted to the foods you can eat. It's an eating style I definitely recommend. Been doing it for 3 months and don't plan on ever stopping lol, love it. Look it up 0 -
Well I was following the paleo diet and cutting out diary and milk as well as having a high protein low carb diet seemed to work for me but in the last two weeks I've put on weight. So I'm just trying to figure out the best option. I will look into macros @JullzGood . @sbcmuse I like juicing. The miracle juice is quite good. Though it's high carb because of all the fruit and natural sugar. It's hard to find a balance!!1

Just starting Insanity. Have done it before with my daughter a few year back, but can't remember why we stopped halfway through. Hoping this will bring my motivation back especially as the beach holiday is now booked ! Also
doing this through Beachbody too, so mornings are insanity and evenings, it's the Brazilian buttlift - lots of workout videos to choose from and love the site,It's a Shaun t work out through beach body. I bought mine on Amazon for 40 dollars.

I LOVE MACRO dieting!!!!! I'm on a 40/35/25 blend. I tried lower fat but I like peanut butter too much.
I like to Juice as well but don't do it as often. I've currently been kicking up my protein with shakes and it is better but I'm a little over them As well. I think I will be switching back Over to the chips later.
Welcome zoomoon!
Ok. I need sleep before the super bowl tomorrow. I don't care who wins but the party is at our house this year and I hAve spent all day cleaning. Should be fun!!! I will be having a cheat meal tomorrow.....1 -

For real, I don't even care, I'm eating so much pizza and wings today lol1 -
Brilliant! I'm looking into it!0
-
So I pretty much Just ruined my weeks worth of work at our super bowl party.... I mean.... it's a little crazy here and the food is delicious.
Back to it in the morning!1 -
Ugh... today was rough. I made it to 617 and then had to take a breather/water break. I could also feel the wine jostling around in my stomach. Not cool. But it's done so that's good.2
-
The main this is that you did it! Well done for today!0

Good morning. I did the Tabata strength today and I am not a very strong upper body person. There were a lot of the push up moves I could not do or had to modify. I'm frustrated with my Fitbit because it said I only logged 10 minutes of exercise. That is very annoying but I entered it as 20 in my exercise count because I did do the entire video even though some exercises were beyond my capacity.
Does anyone else were a Fitbit? How reliable do you think they are for counting exercise?0 -
Cardio was kicking my tail this morning. And my arms hurt from all the push ups yesterday.
EAting cucumbers now. Hope it's going well for everyone!0 -

I like the fitbit, but don't use it anymore because I lost it lol.as for accuracy? No idea. I used mine for the silent morning alarm. Never really for tracking. I'd get a read heart rate monitor that goes across your chest if you want better accuracy.0 -
I made it to 801 today!!! That's my best so far! Yay me!1

I think I am going to start doing the Friday fight on Saturday morning. I did not do well with it last week and this week my garage was 22 degreees so I did not do it at all this morning. That is the first work out I have completely skipped but I think I will start doing on Saturdays anyway. I'm exhausted by Friday.2
-
Ok. So I completed the Friday fight on Saturday and then did a gym workout this morning. Does any one have any experience going back and forth? Like one day on the program and then one day lifting or doing more cardio? I feel like I need more than 30 minutes.0
-
I'm doubling up this week (i.e. Insanity max 30 am and another workout pm) to try and lose more pounds! I like the 30 mins but I do so see what you mean.0
-
Are you doing a seperate strength training workout or a different cardio workout? I'm trying to do more weights but I think I may have to rotate the work outs by day to get both in and not exhaust myself. I don't want to add a nightly work out because I get up at 420 am for the morning and I crash at night. I don't know if it would work for me so I'm interested to hear what you are doing.0
-
@sbcmuse I'm doing a mixture of cardio and yoga. I'm playing netball in the evening Mondays and Tuesdays. Wednesday pm - yoga Thursday pm - dance Friday pm- yoga. Yesterday and today were tough days tbh! But I powered through! I'm only doubling up because I have a holiday coming up lol but it's majority yoga so it's not so intense. Do you feel the route lacks enough strength work for you?0
-
Yes. I am used to more weights through the workouts I have done in the past. I'm hoping that by switching up the days I will tone quicker. The cardio program is no joke.0
-
Yes, you're right! The cardio is intense! The extra cardio I'm doing is in netball so it's more in a game/training setting. How are you finding week 3?! Can't believe we are nearly half way!0
-
I don't feel like I have advanced as much as I had hoped. There are still a lot of the push up type exercises that I cannot do. My times are getting better so I know there is improvement but not as much as I had hoped. What about yourself?0
