Laddy: Thanks! I'm loving Insanity too. I really want that t-shirt! :laugh:
smartinez: Nice work! Improvements across the board! Do you frequently suffer from bloody noses? I think I'd pass out if it happened to me. I don't do blood very well. :sick:0 -
I tried Insanity finally. I am in super physical shape and I could not keep up the whole time!!! :noway:
I started with the one that I keep hearing is the most difficult, pure cardio. At about the 12 minute marker of the main twenty minute block of no rests I started to fall back and never came back at full energy for the remaining eight minutes. HARD!!! Next time I will take little breaks so I can come back in full force instead of just merely moving along.0 -

Metalpalace, it's a workout. I just did it for the 3rd time. It wouldn't be so hard if someone would stop sucking all the oxygen out of the room. Somebody is playing a joke on me. I'll find them and turn the oxygen back on then Pure Cardio won't be so hard.
Seriously, you look like you're in super shape so it shouldn't take you long. Probably after a week you'll be flying thru it. I cut 1 min off my mile in 1 week of doing insanity so I'm sure you'll get fast gains also.0 -
Finished the second Fit Test, here are my results:
1st 2nd
Switch Kicks - 50 - 55 (counted 2 kicks = 1 rep)
Power Jacks - 42 - 47
Power Knees - 70 - 89
Power Jumps - 27 - 30
Globe Jumps - 8 - 9
Suicide Jumps - 13 - 15
Push up Jacks - 12 - 14
Plank Obliques - 38 - 40 (counted 2 knees = 1 rep)
I actually did the fit test twice today because about halfway through the push up jacks i got a really bad bloody nose and had to stop. After waiting about 15 minutes for my nose to stop bleeding ( I was contemplating a trip to the Dr. if it didn't stop when it did) and cleaning the carpet I figured I would wait a little while and start all over again. I just used the results from the second time I did it.
Sandy - great job.
Laddy - congrats on your progress!
Dang girl...sorry about the nose bleed. Super job coming back strong and great gains on the number.
Thanks for the Congrats!0 -

Me to Sandy. I'll wear it proudly!
You're welcome.0 -
Played 3 games of vball last night and could feel my legs while jumping, even just from that Fit Test again! :laugh: Then took a 3 mile walk w/ my dh.
Ran 5 miles this morning, and then came home for an abbreviated version of Plyo- just did 1 round of the warm up, then stretch, then the Plyo part. Whew, I was beat after that!!!!!!!!!!!! I was starving! :drinker:
It was my 13th wedding anniversary y'day, but we are celebrating tonight (my BIL is coming to babysit so we can go to dinner and a movie! YAY! :bigsmile: )0 -
Finishing week 2 today, fit test tomorrow. This program is the real deal! I can see an improvement in the mirror already, really starting to lean out.
Are any of you thinking about merging Insanity with P90X as a hybrid workout after the 60 days are up?0 -
Good Morning Everyone!
Just checking in real quick. Woke up almost an hour late, did Plyo Cardio Circuit, yoga, vacuumed, and now need to rush the girls to swim lessons.
Singfree: That's exactly what I'm thinking -- probably throw some one-on-one's in there too.
Jess: Happy Anniversary!! :flowerforyou:
Laddy: You make me laugh. I have the doors & windows open to keep the oxygen flowing. 0 -

Wow girl are you gonna have any energy left for tonight? Sounds like a BUSY morning :indifferent: Happy belated anniversary. My and hubbie celebrated our 16th on the 17th of July. Can't believe it

I am VERY annoyed that Beachbody is only offering the t-shirt deal to the US :grumble:0 -

Singfree, I am thinking about merging it with Cathe's STS. Sounds like you are doing great with the program! Keep it up :happy:0 -

It really does get easier, not easy but easier :huh:0 -
Good afternoon peeps! I did my Insanity and then Cathe's 4DS shoulders and calves and abs and then took the dogs for a walk. Now off to wash my van and perhaps clean it out (perhaps!). Have a great day!0

HAHA! Well, I decided to do a shoulder workout this afternoon... Tony's One on One Diamond Delts. Then Ab Ripper X. :laugh: It was a rainy day here and I've been w/ my dd's all day. My littlest was napping and my other 2 were playing nicely...
Off to my date night! Woohoo! :bigsmile:0 -

haha that is how I feel about p90x0 -
Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs done! I almost missed Cardio Abs, I am glad that I rechecked the schedule! Wow, that's a killer combo! :bigsmile:
I can feel my metabolism kicking up... I was starving y'day!!! All clean eats, but I felt like I was eating every 2 hrs. My tummy was so loud around 4PM.
Enjoyed my date night... yummy seafood out for Chinese. No fried foods or rice for me. :laugh: And no popcorn at the movie either.
Had a friend y'day tell me that I'm looking thinner all over! Woohoo! Gotta love those good friends.0 -
Yesterday was supposed to be an "off" day, but I decided to do Pure Cardio instead. Tonight i will do the Fit Test, then throw in Cardio Abs for laughs (haha). I doubt if I will be laughing after that, just mopping up a gallon of sweat.
I needed to switch my days off a bit to accomodate my schedule. I would rather do it that way than miss a workout day. The only time I will be "off schedule" is during the recovery week. We will be away for a few days, so I will do some exercising at the hotel gym.
It seems that we are alll in the same boat as far as the difficulty of the workouts goes. It is becoming easier, but never easy. Jess, I can feel my metabolism kicking in too. Sometimes I am starving an hour after a meal. I'm going to up my cals a bit more, since I do some biking & walking in addition to Insanity.
Have an INSANE day!0 -
Day 17 -- Pure Cardio, Cardio Abs, & Yoga
Killer combo, indeed! I'm glad the jumping portion of Cardio Abs goes by quickly! I was really rocking the jump tucks today, though. :bigsmile:
Jess, my metabolism is on the rise too. I lost 2 pounds in the first two weeks, and we both know I don't need to do that! Looks like I have to increase my intake again. Eating over 3000 cals is freaking me out; it's just insane that I could eat that much!
Mmmmmm . . . Chinese. Haven't had that for awhile. I'm glad you had a great night! You deserve it!! :flowerforyou:0 -

Hey Laura!
It amazes me that you have the energy for more leg work after Insanity! Way to go!!
How'd that van cleaning thing go? 0 -

It's amazing how Insanity has a way of making the super fit feel super unfit! I love it!!! 0 -
My legs are DEAD for a bike ride after Insanity. It really feels good to take an easy ride after such an extreme workout. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing by adding a bike ride, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless.
Question for all: Since we are all getting pretty hungry doing Insanity, do you add cals based on hunger alone, or do you calculate the extra cals in your food journal? I'm afraid to eat 3000 cals per day. I am 5'8" and 152 lbs.0 -

Sandy - I get the occasional bloody nose, but my allergy pills really dry me out and I've had the central air on for a few weeks now, so my sinuses are just really dry right now.

Did cardio circuit yesterday and then we were off to the amusement park for the rest of the day, didn't get home until late and I was too tired to post.
Pure Cardio and Cardio abs this morning...feeling great.
Time to hit the pool before running laps during cheer practice.

I know how you feel about the 3000 cals, but you get used to it. I'm 5'9" and 121 lbs. I should be 125 lbs, but I keep losing thanks to my muscles. :laugh: My plan is to have my body fat measured again at the end of Insanity. I had it measured a couple of months ago by a kinesiologist, and it was 9.8%. Crazy. I wouldn't mind putting some weight back on, but my body just keeps burning it off.
I would think with the biking and Insanity, you would do just fine at 3000 cals. Up your intake 100-200 every few days to give your body time to adjust and see how it goes.0 -

Oh, I can see how that would happen. My husband has bad allergies too. No nose bleeds, though, thank goodness. I really don't do blood well at all! If the girls ever have a major injury, I don't know what I'll do. I just hope I can call my husband before I pass out! :laugh:0 -

I ate 3000 calories a day for most of the last 9 months. I didn't lose weight, but I didn't gain either. Unfortunately, I was TRYING to lose! Now, that I've cut back to 2000-2200, the weight is coming off. I'm hoping INSANITY will speed up the process! You should be fine at that calorie intake!

Singfree - great job, improved on everything! I have to agree with you about the mirror, give me results I can see.0 -
cardio recovery done! Day 18 already? I guess time flies when you're having fun, and I'm having a ball.0
