So i decided i would do Insanity to prepare me for the Marine Corps Marathon. Yes i am going to run it after having two kids and some surgeries i am going to conquer the marathon.

Anyways i did the fit test today and i tried hard i really was sweating. I already want to stop i feel like the insanity can beat me, but i am just hoping for a group to start with me so i can be there for everyone as they will be there for me.
Enjoy can't (but i really can) wait till tomorrows workout!

    I did the fit test today and I can't wait til tomorrow to really start. I even considered doing the first workout today, but I'll just go with the program as designed.

    How are you doing with it?

    I'm starting week 3 of Insanity today!! I dreaded it at first, but now am addicted. I sweat like CRAZY just during the warm-up and by the end I am drenched. I'm training for a 1/2 marathon in May and it's helped me so much already. I love this workout. It's challenging but I continue to push myselft more and more each workout. Good Luck!!!

    I'm on week two of Insanity!! It is a crazy workout, but I can already tell a difference in how I feel after only doing 8 workouts. Keep it up!!

    I am on Day 3 of Insanity and definitely need the encouragement of others if I am going to push myself for these next 58 days!

    My husband and I are on Day 3 today. I thought I was in relatively good shape before this, but I have been proven wrong! Lol :) Good to see a support group to help motivate!!

    Completely agree. I have no problem going out there and doing some steady cardio for 2 solid hours, but 40 minutes of intervals is killer!

    After a week, I lost 1.25 inches from my body. .25 from each leg and arm and .25 from my waist. Week 2 I was exactly the same. We'll see what week 3 brings.

    Fit Test results:

    Baseline/Week 3

    switch kick- 109/135
    power jacks- 52/54
    power knees- 78/95
    power jumps- 35/40
    globe jumps- 9/10
    suicide jumps- 15/17
    pushup jacks- 25/20
    plank knees- 45/55

    One thing to note: You will be doing these movements with correct form. The numbers may be skewed by comparing your baseline to your week 3 because on your first fit test, you didn't know the motions yet. For example, I was doing my pushup jacks with perfect form this week and on the first test, I was bowing my head, lifting my butt, and not going down as far. Therefore, I'm not discouraged that I didn't do better. It's probably going to be better comparing fit test 2 with fit test 3 because everything will be correct form.
