    I also have trouble with push-ups (i hate walking push ups). I have weak arms lol But I usually do as many as I can then move to my knees. Each time I do the push-ups I gradually can do more and more the regular way. Maybe you should try to do that?

    This is what I do... I usually can't do moving pushups so I'll do them on my knees or just do regular pushups (those are a challenge in themselves)... and push up jacks... forget that! I've tried - but I usually end up just doing pushups or "girly" pushups (knees)

    Just started this morning. So I've only done the fit test and it really kicked my rear end. Hopefully I can stick to it. Glad to see there are others doing it and improving.

    Looking forward to actually doing this program in full! I did the fit test over a year ago but went back to my beloved Turbo Jam b/c Insanity wasn't very 'fun' and I felt it didn't work my back-arms-core as much as it does with Turbo Jam with 2lb weighted hand gloves. No need to tell me I'm wrong, I'm sure I'll notice how right/wrong I was in that judgment after a week with Insanity ;)

    I'm starting Insanity Friday March 16th, Wednesday's will be my rest days rather than Sunday as I won't get home until 10:00 pm or so due to a grad class after work and with a 16 hour day on Wednesday's I feel it is fair that I should not have to get up at 5:00 am indo Insanity (6:00 am is my regular wake up time).

    I fear my fit-test results won’t be as strong as they would have been a few weeks ago because I have slacked on working out, I’ve only burned 200 cals or so a day walking for an hour on my lunch for the past couple weeks and well compared to Insanity, walking is just too granny-ish huh!

    Heather,
    My rest days are also scheduled for Wednesdays... Although I find I need to take more than one a week sometimes so I'm a few workouts behind schedule. But I need to be able to move as well - and sometimes mental health rest days are necessary - I work nights in a hospital lab and some mornings I'm just too plain exhausted to do insanity. I can usually nap and the. Make myself get up to workout but some days - not so much.

    Your arms will definitely get a workout! At least I think mine do! Any way, welcome and have fun!

    Day 5 done, feeling great! Looooooooved day 4, Cardio Recovery - it was just silly stretching so that was a nice break but thank goodness I walked at least 40 min that day, 30ish min of yoga only burns 100 cals, boo. Still under, all good!

    Thank you! Cardio Recovery was a great rest too but I completely understand on the timing issue. If you aren’t already wearing them at work, you've got to get some Skechers Shape-ups. I've barely taken mine off since Christmas! It's like walking on pillows, I can walk 4 km easy on my lunch and you really do feel it in your calves. I have the black mary-jane style for work.

    I was supposed to do Pure Cardio today, and I did about 15 min, I couldn't even finish the warm up. My body hurts so bad so I said F it and did some yoga and stretched myself back out. So tomorrow should I try again or should I just go to the Polymetric Cardio Circuit?
