    I usually burn 550-600 calories on insanity using my hrm. I burned 150 doing cardiograph recovery using my hrm. About the same with carding abs.a

    Started today! Yay! SO excited to do this finally. I mentioned before that I just finished P90X a couple weeks ago. I only lost 3 lbs. so I think my calories were too high. I was eating about 1800-1900 every day (which is what they recommended). Anyways, I think I'm going to shoot for 1500 with Insanity. Does that sound right to everyone? I really would love to lose 10-15 lbs. I know I won't lose it all w/ one round of Insanity, but would love to at least lose more than 3 lbs!
    [/quote

    RJ74, seems we are in the same boat!! I lost 4lbs in my recent round of P90X. Not a whole lot of inches to speak of either. Altho I AM fitter and tighter..but I'd like to lose another 10/15 as well!
    I started on July 1st. No change. Im impatient.
    I too was at the 1800-1900 cals with P90X and felt it was too high. Im at 1878 w/Insanity..but usually try to get around 1600. My hr monitor says I burn 225-275 a dvd.....do you have a hr monitor and what do you burn? I see 500+ is to be expected...but my hr is UP the whole time....IDK what is up!

    Michele


    Hey Michele- I DON'T have a hr monitor. I do take my heart rate during the breaks "old school" (aka cheap-skate) method w/ my fingers but that's mostly because I want to make sure I'm not REALLY dying, just feeling like I am! :) I have no idea how many calories I'm burning. I am planning on getting a monitor sometime soon and will let you know what I find out. About P90X, I did it with my hubby and he lost 12 lbs. (he didn't really want to lose any weight, just build muscle) and went from a size 34 pants to a LOOSE 30. Men. Sheesh. Anyways, I lost about 11 inches overall, so that's good. Not great, but I figure it's a start! Also, I can now do "real" push-ups like nobody's business. It's the little things, right? Looking forward to Insanity and hoping the switch to 1500 calories will boost the results. Let me know how it's working for you!

    Did the Fit Test today. OMG it was tough. My heart was on fire and I keep coughing. I don't feel too confident about tomorrow's workout, but I'm gonna push through it. It's funny that I could do the first half pretty well, but the last half I didn't have the endurance so my numbers were low!

    Just completed day 2. I have to workout on a thick exercise mat and then my yoga mat to keep my downstairs neighbor from wanting to kill me. Any by the end I found myself slipping, any one know how to deal with this, other than wiping it down frequently?

    Did the fit test yesterday (in addition to a spinning class at my local gym). Woke up SORE!!!! Did the day one workout this morning. More SORENESS! It's a "good" sore though. Means I'm doing something! Just have to keep telling myself "Don't try to keep up with Shaun T. Just do my best and keep moving. I'll get there eventually." Keep your eye on the prize ladies!!!!! Whatever you do don't give up!

    Day 37: Max Interval Push-ups (Plyo) oh wow. Month 2 is no joke ladies! I see why all my MFpals called it max push-up! Shaun T is officially a nut!

    I mentioned this to Wish21 (group creator) but me and some friends have an accountability/ support group on Facebook too. I joined one and it's helped me push a lot and go on days I was lacking! It's not just ladies, but if you're interested, let me know and I'll send you my Fb name!

    Keep pushing play!
