Hello, my name is Sonya and I plan to start insanity next Monday the 16th. Looking for a group starting at the same time (or already doing it/done it) to keep each other motivated day to day. I think if we share our results and how we are feeling as we go, we will have a great time getting through the 60 days.
Best of luck and health to everyone.

Sonya, I've just ordered INSANITY. Shipping says 2-5 business days. I might get it in time to start on Monday with you. I think it would really help everyone stay motivated day to day if we could all see how everyone else is doing. I am sooo excited to start it!!0

Ready and nervous! I have a feeling the first week will be a rough one :-)0

I am nervous too. I have been reading other people's post on their progress and I agree, the first week will be killer. I am just looking forward to the result. Will have to keep telling myself that.0

Hello, my name is Shannon. My husband, Brian, brought Insanity a week ago and he has completed the fit test. I started Insanity today. Well, I did the Fit test (well in my case the Unfit test) today. It was tough. I was sweating and I did terrible. I can't wait til I have numbers I can be proud. I am not so much worried about losing weight but being fit.. I still struggle with a push up. I am 43 years old and I know I am out of shape and this will be a definite challenge.
At this point I am going to go through the nutrition guide and make a grocery list and go shopping.
I am looking for friends to seriously help us through this journey. It is so much better to have support in common goals.0 -
I'm starting tomorrow as well. I'm not sure I'll be able to follow the nutrition guides. I'll add you all. Good luck.0
-
Just got done with the fit test, and all I can say is WOW! I think I'm going to go back and do the last 3 exercises over again. I tried getting it done before my kids woke up, but they go up earlier than normal and made it difficult to concentrate on what I was doing. Good luck everyone

How are y'all logging it in the exercise log??0

I also did my fit test this morning. I felt like I was going to either faint or pass out. Although now I feel great.
As for adding the exercises in, I am not fully sure, but I do know that you have to add them in under "add new exercise " but it helps if you have a HRM to know how many calories you burn during the specific exersize. I will have to spend some time later to figure all that out.
Hope you are feeling good!0 -
I tore my house apart looking for the band for my HRM. We recently moved and I have no idea where it ended up lol. I guess I will invest in a new one I'm feeling pretty good! My legs already feel somewhat sore, but it's a good feeling! Ready for tomorrow! 0
-
I ended up getting it in the mail YAY, I was able to start with everyone. I too felt much like I was going to pass out and/ or vomit But after I felt great!
If anyone wants to post their fitness test results I would be appreciative, as I feel like I didn't do very well
I guess we will all get better as time goes on!
Here are my results for my first fit test:
Switch Kicks- 43 (thought I was cool until I read the thing that said 2 kicks = 1 rep)
Power Jacks- 39
Power Knees- 55
Power Jumps- 9 (this made me feel bad)
Globe Jumps- 3 (even worse LOL )
Suicide Jumps- 10
Push up Jacks- 10 (best I could figure them out)
Low Plank Oblique- 16 (these are sooo gonna be my favorite!)0 -

Hi everyone! I just started today! The fit test kicked my butt and I'm sweating like crazy. Here are my day 1 results:

I am on my second round of Insanity. Loved it! Best of luck to all of you. Make sure you have some light weight shoes with good lateral support. It will help! 0

Hi everyone. I'm excited and scared at the same time to start. I need a change from my regular treadmill workout and I know this is it. Excited to find this group because I need support to get through. I'll be starting tomorrow and can't wait to get going0

Finish Day 6 (I started on Sunday) ... Cause I like to do absolutely nothing on Saturday ... I am thinkig about doing the warm-ups ... I have set my goal to complete the entire warm-up without stopping by the end of week 3. They say it takes 21 days to start a habit and I want to be able to go through the warm-up without stopping.
I hope everyone is doing their best and I wish us all continue good luck. Let's Gooooooo.0 -
I'm on week two now and going strong! I'm able to push myself further and do the exercises better. The best news is though... I have already lost 4 1/2 inches!!!! And 1 pound hats. But wow! Its only been a week. That was enough motivation to keep going.
Hope everyone is doing well. Keep going, don't give up!!!0
