I am starting insanity next monday, June 11. It will be my first time doing it and I am looking for people that may want to start a group and motivate each other through it. I hear it is tougher than p90x, which I have completed. I was going to do it again, but wanted something a little different. If anyone has done insanity and has any tips or advice I would love to hear it!

I really need motivation and to be held accountable b/c I've been falling off the wagon a little to often lately! Time to get summer beach bodies!!! Good luck let me know how your first couple days go!

    What kind of results have you had if you don't mind my asking? Also, did you follow the diet that goes along with it?

    I've lost 11 pounds and multiple inches, I'll know for sure when I measure tomorrow. I've seen some awesome improvements in my cardiovascular endurance, and am starting to see some sweet definition (I also lift 4 days a week). I haven't been following the nutrition guide, for all but the last week I've been set at 1 pound a week (now .8lb/week), and I eat most of my exercise calories.

    So I had some extra time yesterday and went ahead and did the day 1 fit test. So today was day 2 plyo cardio circuit. I just finished. And damn was it hard for me. I have knee issues so I have never been good with plyo. I couldn't keep up and had to take a few breaks towards the end. But I am proud of what I did do. Enjoy your workout everyone!!!

    P90X was great for definition. I added in extra cardio every day, so I was able to still lose pounds, but I mostly gained muscle. Which at this phase in my journey I want to tone, but I am more concerned with losing the fat. P90X was a piece of cake compared to Insanity. I am dying during my insanity workouts. P90X is definitely more strength based, it's a great workout, but I wanted something more cardio based.

    Just finished day 4, cardio recovery. That was a nice workout. Much more mellow but still could feel the burn.

    I just started Insanity on Saturday. Let's just say I'm sore all over. I did begin (and quit, to my utter shame) TurboFire, and I don't think that Insanity is any harder, and the 30 second breaks are nice.
    Good luck to anyone who is doing this program (including myself...)

    The cardio recovery day was very nice! I have realized that being sore is just part of these 60 days. I am starting to enjoy the soreness as I know it means change is happening!
