I'm new to the group, but I am starting Insanity on Monday, June 11 as well... would love to have a workout pal!!! This is my first attempt at Insanity, so I'm a little nervous... but I keep telling myself it's only 60 days!! :-)0

I'm new to myfitnesspal and am also going to start Insanity on Monday 0
-
Exactly only 60 days ladies! We can do it together! 0
-
I'm starting Monday the 11th too. I took my fitness test today and will re-take on Monday. Good luck everyone!0
-
I am also going to start Insanity on Monday, June 11. I did the fit test last night, just to see what it was like... It is nooo joke lol. I'm excited to do this though! No matter how hard it is I'm going the whole 60 days! 0
-
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?0 -
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 0
-
LOL, after attempting that fit test, I realized that I'm more out of shape than I thought!!
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!!0 -
Blue jones we should definately post our fit test on here and also i will be checking in everyday to see how everyones doing and to share my experiences. 0

Congrats to everyone for completing day 1... I don't know about you, but I'm nervous about day 2... that fit test was no joke!! LOL... but I'm ready, it's all about making progress!!!
@ Annie422 I'll be up at 6 working out too... trying to make my morning workouts a habit!! Good Luck!!!0 -
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?0 -

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!!!
Good luck to everyone on Day 2!!!0 -
does anyone know where to get shakeology for a better price??0
-
I started Monday, June 11th as well! I have started multiple times and I even got to Month 2 a couple of months ago..and just stopped. This time I am going all the way and bringing it!
You can add me so we can give each other motivation!0 -
Day two was tough! Glad I got through it though! good luck to everyone who has yet to do it today.

@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. 0 -

Try Amazon.com... I've seen them on there, not sure of the prices though.0 -
@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.com0
