    I'd be willing to join you, but I want to start January 1st. I am finishing up P90X this week and was hoping for a bit of a break before I jump back into the madness.

    I actually just started Insanity this week. I skipped the fit test and completed Plyometric Cardio Circuit on Mon. I didn't workout yesterday and plan on completing Day 3 today Cardio Power & Resistance tonight. I'm sure I'll be taking another break later this week. So maybe we'll catch up by next week. My goal is to do the Insanity workout 3-4 days a week, even though 6 days are recommended. Feel free to add me so we can keep each other motivated and on track.

    I'm feeling sore and getting stronger at the workouts, but no weight loss just yet. I'm not that good in keep a strict diet, but definitely feel more toned. I'm going into week two of Insanity. How is everyone else doing?

    I just started Monday. Friend me if you like.

    King, if you want the fit test you can do it yourself. Just time yourself doing each of these exercises for a minute:
    Switch Kicks
    Power Jacks
    Power Knees
    Power Jumps
    Globe Jumps
    Suicide Jumps
    Push-up Jacks
    Low Plank Oblique

    You can probably find the fit test paperwork if you google it. I think Docstoc has it available.

    Just a warning I did Insanity for 60 days and only lost 5 lbs. and now have horrible shin splints. I stopped doing it about two months ago and my shins still kill anytime I jump up and down. I was not new to wroking out I have been working out most of my life and never had a single injury until doing that program.

    Because insanity is no intense injuries are quite common. It's very important to pay attention to your form and slow down if needed. Proper footwear is also extremely important. I'm not say that this is what caused your injuries, but more just putting it out there for more warning. I'm on my recovery week right and although the scale hasn't budged I'm feeling great!

    My form and footwear was good but I have hardwood floors and I should have had extra pading but I still think it's crazy that I injured myself so severely from the program.My boyfriend asked his nutritionist about insanity recently and she said don't do it but p90x is ok.
