    I have noticed some physique differences in round two and also even more improved endurance. I think that this program is not just a 63 day program, it's a program that you can continue to get better and better at if you continue past the 63 days. But I'm sure you've seen the improvements in yourself as well.

    I feel like I am following edorice around ..... <.<

    Anyways.. I am doing the p90x/insanity hybrid. It is my first time doing either of them and it is kicking my *kitten* but I absolutely love it. Yes it is hard, yes it is challenging but I don't stop. If there is something I can't do.. I modify to keep my *kitten* moving no matter what. Today I officially finished the first week of the hybrid and I am excited to start my second. I will finish this!!

    Great idea on Turbo Fire, you can do a hybrid of the two as well.

    Sorry I haven't been active much!

    But I'm still getting Insane!! When I take a break to do other workouts I end up missing it too much! hahaha

    I have a friend who is doing it for her first time so I told her I'll do it along with her.

    I was very scared as well. My husband wanted to do the program more than me. As a matter of fact, he talked me into doing P90X. I would sit and watch the Insanity commercial and just shake my head. But keep in mind that you will get better each week.

    Hey ladies,

    I've been looking for something like this for awhile & so glad I found you :)

    My husband & I are in the 2nd week of month 2 of Insanity. I don't know if it's just me, but I've gained about 9 lbs since starting the program. (yes, I know muscle weighs more than fat but sheesh... )

    I found the recovery drinks are CRITICAL in month 2. We drink them during the workout instead of after.

    If it helps anyone, I did a bit of research and opted not to go with BeachBody's recovery drink but instead with Endurox R4. [found on amazon] It's a little less expensive but tastes a lot better than BB's. Lemon Lime is our favorite. Wouldn't be able to complete the workouts without it. Definitely helped reduce muscle soreness and gives us more energy.

    How do you like Hip Hop Abs? I like Shaun T a lot but is the program pretty good?

    Hip Hop abs is fun, but not going to give a high calorie burn compared to insanity of course. I think it's on par with Zumba.

    Just started insanity and having a difficult time with the strength part and now I am thinking I am insane for buying the DVD I really don't want to give up but get extremely tired after the work out and I have 2 little girls to tend to at home. Do I need to purchase some type of "recovery formula" cause I don't want to feel so drained after the workouts!

    Try N-Xplode. My husband got me to use it starting this past Sunday and WOW the energy difference. I have two little girls also and when there are time when I need to workout at 6am and after Insanity my energy is drained. Not no more!! After I rest for about 30 mins, I'm ready to go about my day.

    Now berry flavored mix I don't like to much. I'm going to try punch next. So it you do have to get use to the taste. After a few days it's not so bad lol

    I found drinking a recovery formula makes a HUGE difference. I didn't get the BeachBody brand b/c the reviews didn't sound that great. Instead, we tried Endurox R4 [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029F5M2] and like it a lot. The lemon/lime flavor is actually pretty good. [Kind of like lime jell-o]

    We're in the middle of month 2 now and I need to drink it while working out just to get through it. [Used to drink it immediately after in month one]

    Oh I want to point out - in women it's come to not see a weight loss in the first month. I searched it up and asked other women about it. They didn't see a weight drop until the second month.

    Week 4 I lost 2lbs
    Recovery week I dropped 5lbs
    Week 5 I didn't gain nor lose
    Week 6 I lost 3lbs

    You will see those inches move though! I measure myself weekly...you'll be amazed!!


    Thanks for sharing!! I expected the weight to melt off and it wasn't so I was a little frustrated but that makes sense now. The inches lost is what kept me going. It's such a great workout I'm definitely going to stick with it and see what happens in the next month

    I was in the same boat during the first month... actually GAINED 9 pounds, which was a bit depressing. [Think it was because I was more hungry from the workouts and not eating as well as I should b/c I thought I had more leeway b/c I was working out]

    The added weight is dropping pretty fast in month 2 though which is encouraging.

    Tomorrow is my last day of week 2 of Insanity and I'm totally totally addicted. I love it. Even when I wake up and don't feel like it, eventually i find myself craving it. I was thinking about doing P90x after insanity and i was just wondering (for all of you who have done both and are doing hybrid programs) what are some similarities and differences between the two programs? Does one work better than another? Did you lose more weight with one? I'm just wondering if I should spend the money on p90x as well :) thanks. I had fun reading all of your posts, you guys are so inspiring!

    P90X is a great, well awesome strength training program. If it weren't for P90X I wouldn't have been ready for Insanity. I now do the two as part of a hybrid. The plyometrics in P90X is slower and more controlled than Insanity, but it still gives you a great workout. The stretch and Yoga DVD's in P90X are sooo needed. I highly recommend P90X with Insanity after you are done with your round of insanity.

    I'm starting Insanity today! I've been working out 5 times a week doing Ripped and some P90X (strength) Zumba and Six Week Six Pack Abs.. ( as you can see I get bored and like to mix it up ) However for the past 2 months nothing is happening with my body.. I did loose 10 lbs in Nov - Dec and inches (which really its all about the inches for me) BUT I'm at a plateau.. need to switch it up a bit.. so I'm thinking this program may be the ticket.. Any tips? Do I really need a HRM?

    I have done a couple of rounds of this last year and NEEDED to give my back a REST! Besides being a kick *kitten* workout it is extremely hard on your back! You may see me around, I am in another mileage challenge but may consider getting INSANE till summer arrives! Best wishes chickas!!!
