Hi all!
CONGRATS! to everyone who made it through week one! I just did my first workout for week two and I got to say I'm more soaked in sweat than EVER :smile:

It is, however, the BEST feeling so make sure YOU keep going, do your workout, even if you feel like quitting, at least do this first workout of the week cause I think it will keep you going :)

So here's a support-thread for week two, I'm curious, how are you doing?

    I started week 2 yesterday, this week I'm going to change my workout time from the morning to the evening because I think I'll be able to put more into it after eating something rather than doing it on an empty stomach.
    What do you guys think?

    I'm also decreasing daily calories by 150, I haven't lost any weight or body fat. I was eating too many anyway.

    All the best to all of you insane people making it to week 2!

    I have done Insanity on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning. I feel that i would be weighed down by food if I did it later in teh day. Interesting to see how the afternoon run would go. Good luck!

    Do not do Insanity straight after eating I guarantee it will come back up to greet you. Give it at least 1 hour to settle :smile: (my 2 cents )

    I've done it both - first thing in the morning on an empty stomach (not gonna do THAT again) and in the evening. For some reason, I find that by the evening I have more energy and do a better workout. I guess it's all about what works for you!

    Just started Week 2 of Insanity. This time I have my new HRM (came in the mail yesterday). Used it for the first time during my workout today and apparently was greatly underestimating calories with just "Aerobic - high impact" - by about 200.... Thats like... a really good dark beer's worth of calories!

    I'm on week 2 of Insanity and oh my... still just as difficult. I did Pure Cardio for the first time (was missing that disc along with Cardio Recovery during week 1) the other day and it made me really nervous when he was like 'is anyone else nervous for this workout? I'm nervous'. That's never a good sign. I nearly died. But I'm back at it. I'm a day behind schedule because I took an extra rest day to catch up on sleep. I can't see any physical results yets, but on my last run I was faster :)

    Day two: Pure Cardio still= pure torture LOL. And Hurricane_C when I first heard him say that I was like "oh no, I am really going to die if he is saying that" LOL. I really would like to improve with my pushups and power squats it's like my legs go dead with them.

    One more day of week two. I wasn't able to do my workout Thursday so have pushed everything back a day e.g. did my Cardio Recovery on Friday, just means tomorrow (Sunday) I will be going hard. Monday will be interesting with my second Fit Test I am not sure how I will go to be honest I don't feel a lot fitter I think that will take a bit more time. But will think of that later for now I need to psych myself up for tomorrow my last day of week two woot!!

    I am on day 10 and loving it! I love how it's structured; crazy hard warm-up then stretch to catch your breath then intense workout with the odd waterbreak to breathe. It really does take you to your enth power then brings you back down so the level of satisfaction/endorphins being released is enormous compared to other programs I’ve done (Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire, 30DS, ChaLean Extreme).

    I will admit, I should be on day 11 but I skipped a day - I was being lazy on a Thursday evening, no good excuse, no injury or illness.

    I finished week 2!
    I won't do much high jump since it hurts my left knees.
