    I am doing both P90X and Insanity. I use the P90X for my weights and Insanity for the cardio. It is an amazing workout! Tough but amazing! Just stick with it chicka...it will get easier and you will see results!!

    I"ve done Insanity. It kicked my butt and burned off the fat. It's one of the shorter programs in overall days, so you can do it! Right now I do a hybrid of P90X 3 days a week and Insanity 2 days a week. I'd love to help you stay motivated. Friend me.

    Just finished Insanity a couple of weeks ago!!! My third round, although not consecutively completed. I am doing Insanity Asylum now - Just started this week.

    Good luck! I loved Insanity the first couple of times through. I was ready to move onto something different though. Stick with it & keep reminding yourself of how good you feel when you have completed the workout.

    Can someone explain the Insanity program to me. Sounds like you need to be in pretty good shape to start it out.

    I'd love to do insanity.......not sure if my knees could handle it. I've had 7 knee surgeries (5 left, 2 right) I'm doing p90x lean right now. I limit my jumping. But I'd love to try insanity:) if my knees can handle it!!

    You really don't! Just do the best that you can every time and do what you can! I'm pretty out of shape right now!

    Just did day 2.. I feel like I sat out half of it and my butt is still killing me! I guess it takes time...
    How are you all doing with it?

    I'm doing insanity 3 days a week as a replacement for the cardio workouts in P90x. One thing that always helps me keep going is watching the folks behind Shaun T bombing out the workout for a few minutes and collapsing on the sidelines. It's nice to see that it's ok to take an exercise for a break and then come back in again. As long as you're working as hard as you can, your working hard enough :)

    I felt the same way today! But, they were all getting tired, and even Shaun T stopped for a water break once lol.

    I have to take breaks too, and I can't do a push up so I have to modify that part! I just do what I can and don't feel bad about taking a break when I need it!

    Thanks for the encouragement :)
    And by the way.. what kind of shoes are y'all using?
    (running shoes don't work for this!)

    I've been wearing my Vibram FiveFingers. Been thinking about just trying my Nike Dual Fusions out, but so far I've stuck with the Vibrams.

    Hi I'm also doing it! sent round a few invites and feel free to add me anyone else!

    Yeah I love that the other participants get their butts kicked!

    I'm in my third week and am already doing more pushups than I could in the first week. I skipped the fit test at the beginning of this week because I wanted a longer workout that day and wanted to wait another couple of weeks to test my progress - but can already feel changes, especially in the core.

    Oh and I've used shoes designed for tennis as they're pretty good for combining good cushioning, yet you can also pivot on them (I did TurboFire before Insanity and you need to be able to pivot on the balls of your feet especially with that)

    Thanks! My husband just ordered us both asics cross trainers- hope they'll do the trick!
    Anyone else feeling like they just fell down the stairs? Not sure how it's going to go tonight when I attempt day 3 (hopefully different muscles?)
    I think I win for whiniest poster on this thread :)

    Hi again..
    Question for y'all- anyone still continuing their usual exercise while doing insanity every day?
    Don't want to give up my 2x/week yoga and occasional zumba class. Can I do both?
