Anybody else just start Insanity or about to start?

if you start a group let me know i keep saying im going to do insanity and never start, but id like to start now!!

I started Insanity yesterday was my first workout besides the fit test. I did plyometrics cardio curcit and I gad to stop a couple of times and I had to ulter some of the moves, but I felt great afterwards.. So I'm gonna keep doing it. I know it's a hard workout, comparing it to what I was previously doing ( 30 day shred).

I would love a support group so it u start one.. I'm in

I started this morning with the fit test and didn't even make it all the way through. Way more out of shape than i thought. But i am going to keep at it, just might take me 120 days instead of 60.

its been 16 hours since i did the fit test and find that my legs are more sore than anything, mostly my thighs. in the morning i hope to finish the fit test.

I like starting a newbie group! I'm only on day 3, Cardio Power & Resistance. I enjoyed it, especially the V pushups. Those were interesting. I like that he changes things up frequently- I get bored doing the same exercise over and over.

It's funny; after I finish the workout, or the next morning, I can feel all my muscles, and I feel like I MUST look like one of the people on the video, with super ripped abs! Then I realize I still have the fat to lose, haha. But it's a nice feeling, nonetheless.

Finished my fit test and if anyone wants to feel better about how well they did, look at these results:

Switch kicks 20
Power jacks 24
Power knees 45
Power jumps 10
Globe jumps 4
Suicide jumps 0
Modified pushup jacks 10
Low plank oblique 10

I am having serious shin pains with some of the moves on the video- any ideas?

I'm on my 3rd weeks, how can I join your group?

Good luck! I'm only on day 5, but it starts to become something you look forward to. I always feel like I did something AMAZING when I finish a workout. I hope it goes the same for you ^^

Alright... so I recently moved to Honduras which has made working out and running close to impossible (schedule and awkwardness). On top of that the diet of rice, beans, and tortillas is not so great for the waistline. So I'm waiting to get Insanity (hopefully this week) in hopes that it will be what I NEED. But, I am wondering how much time do I need to carve out in my schedule? I've looked around and it seems to be about 40 minutes for the first month? Do you all try to complete it at the same time everyday for routine? And in general do you just eat healthier or do you try to get more protien or anything? Thanks so much!

The first month is about 40 min each and the second month is about 60. I did it generally in the morning around 9 but with 2 kids 2 and under it got done when I could. I just ate healthy and had a protein shake after my workouts cause my muscles were really sore before I started doing that. Good Luck

I am new to Fitness Pal.....do you guys record your excercise? How do you figure out how many calories are burned in the Insanity DVD series?

THANKS FOR HELP!!

I'm just starting my third week, just finished Plyo is a matter of fact. I have to be honest the first week my calves were a blazin' to the point that it took me several minutes to get out of bed in the morning. Even after sitting for a few minutes I'd have to really ease myself onto my feet, giving my poor calves a chance to support my weight. My calves (more the left one) were literally hard balls of muscle and i rubbed them with icy hot twice a day, took some motrin in the morning, and sucked it up! Lots of water intake and breaks during the workout as needed! I didn't stop video, just did it as if I were at the gym!

The second week my calves were easing up and my ankles and lower left shin started getting sore. I learned to "jump lighter" and again sucked it up. I also started drinking my own personal recovery drink (Chocolate Blueberry Chia Shake) every morning and after my workout. I'll give the recipe at the bottom! Lots of water, a few less breaks!

Now going into my third week, I rocked the Fit Test #2 and am pain less between workouts...because Shaun T still is kicking my butt. But I'm able push myself more and take even fewer breaks. I've lost 3lbs and 3" off my waist since starting Sept 12, 2011. A few inches here and there also, but if you all are anything like me the waist is big important one!

So it's working doubtlessly, and the pain is temperary. Like Shaun T says take a second to catch your breathe and shake out the pain, then back in for more torture! lol. Lots and lots of water...and motrin!

Chocolate Blueberry Chia Shake
-8oz Chocolate Light Soy Milk or Chocolate Almond Milk
-1 Serving of Chia (2 tbsp i believe)
-Handful or so of frozen blueberries

Put milk (soy or almond) into blender and add chia seeds. Let them sit in the milk for five minutes, then add the blueberries and blend well. Enjoy!

Chia Cocktail
-1 Serving of Chia (2 tbsp i believe)
-8oz of cold water
-2tbsp of lemon juice

Add lemon juice and chia seeds to water, let sit for five minutes. Mix the "cocktail" and slurp it down!

I started it with my wife several weeks ago and have recently "gotten off track" while she keeps pounding away at Shaun T's insanity. She is my inspiration and I will get back in the groove soon. I have not lost any weight while doing insanity yet but I do know that my endurance and strength have increased. Good luck everyone.
