Insanity challegne-closed group

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is doing good with Insanity...this is the end of my week 2 and Monday is my fit test....my first fit test was pretty pathetic cuz I'm definitely outta shape plus I have asthma! I can already tell a difference in my endurance and my clothes are getting loose! Yay....I will post my first fit test results after I complete my second on Monday!

I did my second go around of Cardio Recovery. It seems like the hardest of them so far. My legs just burn and I cannot stay down in the squats as long as he wants us to. I did much better with Pure Cardio second time around so was frustrated that I did not do better with Cardio Recovery today.

wow, seriously MFP, we can't type **** without it coming up as ****? This isn't a kids' website!

i had to work extra late tonight and missed my workout! do you think it will matter too much if i skip the cardio recovery disc to try to get back on schedule? it's a lot of stretching, so it doesn't seem like it would be that big of a deal to miss..

When I miss a day I just back it up a day and do the next scheduled workout. Personally I find Cardio Recovery the most challenging. It doesn't get my heart rate up as much but it sure does make my muscles burn.

I would love to join too. I just got my Insanity yesterday and can't wait to start!

Did the second fit test yesterday and huge improvement all-round! I keep reading how people lost loads of weight doing insanity but I have put on 3 lbs, which is fine as I expect its muscle (my calves!) and water retention, but am just curious what kind of results others are getting so far?

okay, so i am definitely going to stick with it. after 22 days of this insanity under my belt, how could i not see it through?! i was worried though about doing the whole program and not seeing the result i had wanted. i have lost a good amount of weight in the past year (only 20 lbs to go!!) and i started noticing that the fat on my body looks odd. i was on my hands and knees yesterday, doing some strange exercise and notices that my belly fat literally hangs off my body. it looks like it doesn't belong, basically. i wanted to ensure that i would work some of that fat off, so that any muscle toning i did was visible. i do really wanted my muscles to have a toned appearance. so i started looking into protein powers. apparently a whey protein shake is very useful,not only to get your daily protein needs (which is sometimes difficult for me here in the dorms), but also muscle toning. i told someone i was doing insanity and they directed my to a protein isolate, that will aid in muscle recovery, stamina and such. i am very excited to see how this goes. i have read pretty good reviews about the kind i purchased also. i got the GNC Pro Performance Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60. I got two 1.22 lb bags, because they were buy one get one 50% off, and spent less that $40 dollars. i will update with results after 3 weeks or so. has anyone else tried protein shakes with insanity before? particularly women?

What is insanity?

Hi Jenna,
I am righ there with you! I started on 1/2/12 also, and am only down about 2#. I was working out prior to the Insanity videos, but not this hard!

I've read in some previous posts that month 2 of Insanity is where you start to really see the results more. I sure hope that's true. I also did not take measurements, but my pants don't fit any different, and that's always my gauge. I do see more muscle definition in my abs, which is good motivation to keep going. And, sheesh, we're halfway through - can't quit now!!

Good luck to you!

I just started on Sunday...can I join??
