any takers for buddying up on insanity?

yay, i'm not alone! :happy:

@jmmbrent did you do the fit test today or the actual workout? i've been dreading the first workout since i did the fit test about a week ago. i've been sick and in bed the last few days, but feeling much better and ready to get started. it would be great to be on the same schedule doing this. i know it's gonna be tough, but i loooove the way i feel after every workout.

@amyhenderson0 i did p90x last summer for 2 weeks and i loved it. unfortunately, my work got so crazy and i would go for 2-3 days just working non-stop without sleeping, eating, etc.. needless to say, my body was too weak to keep it up and i crashed. i didn't get back to it. during the 2 weeks i was doing it, though, i could already see the results. i was dieting hard core so i wasn't looking to my scale for the p90x results, but seeing the definition in my arms and legs in such short period of time.. it was amazing. while p90x uses weights and has different types of workouts, insanity is hard core cardio and instead of weights, you use your own body weight for resistance, etc. i'm sure the end results are amazing with either and i'd love to exchange notes.

@JeliBaggins44 hahaha so far i'm not sure shaun t is my "cup of tea" (a little too much for me perhaps), but i'm super excited about doing it. what was the biggest difference you noticed? losing fat, gaining muscle, the endurance..?

@jstock9 well, how bout starting over now? it would be much easier sticking with it if you're doing it with someone.

@dawnspradley did you finish the entire insanity program and then go to p90x? my goal is to finish the insanity program, then go back and finish p90x and p90x2. i loved p90x, but my wrists had a lot of trouble with it, so much that i was getting a little concerned. did you notice anything similar?

@amywhite8809 along with taking my before pictures in the same (ahem!) bikini, i also got a pair of my favorite jeans i couldn't fit in years and i would take a picture of my progress towards being able to zip them. for me, clothes are the best indicator of how well i'm doing. also, i know a lot of people are against it, but i actually weigh myself every day and write it down in my weight/food/workout journal. it keeps me focused and it's a great indicator of how the food i eat affects me. obviously, with working out the scale won't be as great of an indicator, but it still helps me stay on track.

@amywhite8809 ok, that makes me feel better. after the fit test, i've been dreading day 1.. i will keep you posted how it goes.

@kemahone second round? you must really like it. have you tried p90x?

@sloanie1 i don't remember ever in my adult life not having cellulite, what's that like? hahaha it's so great to hear you had amazing results, it's really encouraging. thank you for posting!

@grimacy yes, please, let me know what it is. i really want to get involved. the more time i spend thinking about staying on track, less time i'll have to think about food and being lazy.

@ninjanurse10 it's a workout program by beachbody. look it up online, it's everywhere. i'm surprised you haven't seen any infomercials, i see at least one per day..

@ekhnanisho gooooood luck! i literally could not walk without being in pain for 8 days after i did mine (thursday to thursday) you won't quite feel the pain the next morning, it will be about 24 hours later. keep me posted with your progress!

@Moonbeamlissi what are you doing now for your workouts? i have and have tried just about everything out there..

@DrG3n3 i love that. i've always hated running.. one of my friends got into it last year and has done really well with it. he's ran many marathons and now it just comes naturally, a part of everyday routine. it's been so exciting watching him grow and learn to love it.
