    I took my fit test last night too... OMG!! I wore my heart rate monitor/calorie counter just to get an idea of what I was in for... burned 500+ calories in about 25 minutes... SMH! lol, I'm looking forward to officially starting on Monday!! Good Luck Ladies, I plan to check in here daily just to share my experiences and see how it's going for everyone!!

    Would anybody be intersted in posting our fit test results here, just to share/motivate each other and to get a visual of our Fit Test progress?

    Hey bluejones, what kind of heart rate monitor do you have? I need one, I figure it'll be kind of expensive. I think I'll be more motivated if I know how much work I'm really doing and getting out of it though. I will post my fit test Monday.. I'm very out of shape though, so we'll see... Lol. 60 days... We can do this :)

    LOL, after attempting that fit test, I realized that I'm more out of shape than I thought!! :embarassed:

    I'm not sure what the brand is (I'll look when I get home), but I picked it up at Walmart, I bought it a while ago, but it wasn't very expensive, less than $30. There are different varieties, but I have the stopwatch type monitor. I can monitor my heart rate and calories... I'm sure there are some better ones out there, but this one does what I need it to do, so it works!!

    Completed my fit test today (day 1 of Insanity). Here are my results:
    switch kicks = 70 (but they were low - need to get my kicks higher)
    power jacyk = 55
    power kneww = 85
    power jumps = 25
    globe jumps = 8
    suicide jumps = 15
    push-up jacks = 20

    ugghhh, I'm tired :) the test is 25 minutes, not sure what I'll do with a 40 minute workout ! :) Good luck everyone!

    I'm a little ahead of you guys, I'm on day 4, Just finished my cardio recovery and wow it was needed. I could barely walk when I got out of bed but the recovery helped. ALOT. I stilled burned almost 400 calories doing it,but it sure didn't feel like it.

    My fit test looks like this:

    switch kicks 60
    power jacks 30
    power knees 60
    power jumps 21
    globe jumps 8
    suicide jumps 10
    push up jacks 21
    low plank oblique 36

    I didn't weigh when I started, but I got 2 day into it and had to stop b/c my mom went into the hospital. Now that she gets out tomorrow I started again. Today I weigh 112.4lb. After doing a month of p90x I found myself gaining pounds nad inches, due to the fact that I was eating too much protein and too much food in general. My goal is to tone, not build muscle, so I got Insanity and figured i'd give it a try. I can barely make it through 30 minutes of most of the workouts, but I try. I have to go slow to medium on all the exercises, fast makes me too dizzy and want to fall over (which I have done a few times LOL) so I will work my way up to fast.

    How're you guys doing? How did your first workout go?

    Finished Day 2 - Plyo Cardio Circuit.... @ss has officially been kicked!!! LOL... This workout is no joke, I started out thinking, oh this is cool.... we're just going to repeat the warmup over and over.... NOT!!! By the end my legs were wiggling like Jello... but I did not quit (although I did take a few extra breaks). Overall, this was a great workout, I felt great, once I was able to breath again!!! :wink:

    Good luck to everyone on Day 2!!!

    Day two was tough! Glad I got through it though! good luck to everyone who has yet to do it today.

    @bluejones, I'll be thinking about you getting up too when I'm trying to get myself out of bed in the morning. Knowing I'm not alone will help :)

    If you are new to this thread and want to friend me please do!

    @sinsrhythm- if you are already into beachbody do you have a coach maybe you can get it cheaper by them? I havent tried shakeology but I heard it works amazing im looking into getting it. :)

    @bluejones..its the same price on amazon..but if go thru a beachbody coach its like $90..i just finished day cardio power and resistance omg..woooooow...the droid app that helps calculate calories burned doing insanity is called calaories burned..it doesnt have all the workouts but u can put in ur weight, the amount of time u worked out and it will tell u how many calories burned..also for people doing p90x chk out www.p90xcalories.com
