    Day 2 . . Done! It honestly wasnt as bad as I thought. . Don't get me wrong, it was NON STOP moving but it was challenging and do-able at the same time!

    Hmm. I should take the fit test and see where I stand!

    I felt the same. The last 10 minutes was really killer though! I had to take a few breaks during the drill sets. Great job though.

    Power knees : 75 / 86
    Power jumps : 25 / 32
    Globe jumps : 8 / 10

    Fit test number 2. The first numbers are from #1 so I could get a side to side comparison. I improved mostly, but at the end I was starting to feel dizzy =/ Think i haven't had enough water to drink today. Even though some of my numbers didn't budge much, I actually felt way better today and didn't get as tired as I did the first time.

    Just on Week 2 here. Hoping doing it through the holidays (not after) will be motivation not to over-indulge on the sweets!

    Great job! I think you're on the right track. I went home this past weekend to visit family, and I watched what I ate to an extent. You can't turn down a good meal lol

    You guys were awesome in your fit test. My fit test results were crap compared to yours. haha.
    I finished INSANITY twice and completed up to 7 weeks for once (before injury took over). Let me share with you my progress. It's quite unbelievable to myself too when I looked back at how weak I was.

    Here are my stats
    1. First 3 numbers are from my first attempt. Didn't finish the series due to injuries.
    2. The next 5 numbers were from my first FINISHED attempt.

    Im about to finish week 3 as well! One more day, and then rest day just perfectly lands on Christmas!!!! I'm sure I will overeat on all the yummy goodness that will be floating around!

    I completely gave up any attempt at exercising and eating well over the holiday- especially since my family spreads it out over a full three days!

    But I'm back at it today- week 4! Looks like I'll be skipping recovery and rest day to make up for the skipped sessions over the weekend though!

    I missed 2 days over the holidays so I'm going to do week 4 workout the rest of the week then on Monday the 2nd I am going to start with week 5. I have also had a nasty cold the last few days which has made breathing/exercising hard! I want to go into the second half being able to give it my all!!

    Is anyone keeping up with measurements? I am wondering what everyone's progress is as far as that.
  • Meesh57

    I was keeping up with measurements, but I ended up having a rough couple weeks. I ended at the end of week 3.. and continued to do workouts when I could, but it was never consistent. My new plan is to pick up with week 4 and try to keep going.. Horrible I know. But hopefully things work out this time..

    I am about done with month 1 and havent seen a change in my weight or my measurements yet. I am however seeing a difference in my ability to complete the DVD's. Not seeing a measurement change is somewhat frustrating but I'm hoping month 2 will change that!

    I'm thinking the real results come in month 2 as well. It's hard to tell so far though because I've eaten so poorly the last two weeks! I think I'm canceling out everything I've done working out. Just a few more days and I'm throwing out all of the cookies and starting fresh!

    Next week is the rest week- maybe I should repeat week 4 and forget the "rest" all together?

    Next week is my rest week to and it just so happens to fall on my vacation. In a way I'm excited to not have to work out to much on vacation but then again I know how vacations go- usually with me gaining 5 pounds! It doesn't help that this is over the holidays. I feel that although I havent lost any weight, I havent gained any either with all the sugary slices of heavenly bliss I'm forced to eat where ever I go! :)

    Off rest week and into the second month. Day 1 kicked my *kitten*. Doing the fit test before the hour long Max killed me. I made it 45 minutes and gave up. Today I finished, but yesterday was too much! Month 2 is definitely much harder!!

    Month 2 is crazy! I did the fit test in the morning and then the other in the late afternoon. The thought of doing them back to back was enough to make myself to "busy" to do them in a row! My whole body is nice and sore though- which I love!

    Splitting them up is a great idea! These second month exercises are much harder in addition to being a longer workout. I love it! And although I like the break Recovery give me in the middle of the week... I'm kind of bummed when the calories burned is so low.
