Official Women's Insanity Group. "Time to Change"

pure cardio complete, woo! If anybody needs me i'll be in the pool! lol

I did Max interval training yesterday, that is a bear!! today I am going pure cardio/cardio abs as I am in a hybrid challenge group.. I LOVE the workouts.. my legs freaking hate me afterwards but tough cookies, I am not stopping... they protest each time i run up the 4 story high steps at work (18 times) and when I walk... ah well, still not going to stop... start the asylum on the 30th... can't wait!!

Week 1 results; Had a quick peak at the scales and took my measurements from my waist and around each thigh. I'll do the proper measurements on Day 15 but so far I've lost half an inch from my waist and 0.6 inches from each thigh and my body fat is down 1% although my body weight is up slightly (1lb) I'm really pleased with my results. Will monitor my 'fat' and carb intake more closely this week and see what happens. Here's to another 7 days!

WHOOP! I'm ready to dig deeper!

Way to go everyone! I love having people who understand my pain as I'm doing these workouts

I just finished week 2 today. Today was the first Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs double workout day. How are other people doing those? Just one after the other? I was so exhausted during cardio abs after doing pure cardio I was a bit disappointed in my abs performance.

I'm excited to do the fit test again now. Hopefully I improved.

I just completed plyometic cardio circuit Saturday. It went all lot better than it did on Tuesday. I tried something new today. I ate 2 tbsp peanut butter before i started. It wasnt heavy in my belly and i was able to power thru with a strong finish. I am going to suck down some water then go for a swim. What is everyone doing on sunday day off. Will you be choosing something like bike riding or running or resting? I haven't decided yet but I am curious what others are doing.

i'm starting on Monday! I love the feedback here! Thanks for sharing everybody!! Now I'm getting excited to start.

I was thinking of doing Hip Hop Abs after Insanity only cause it looks like fun, haha!

I'm actually doing Power Cardio today. It was supposed to be yesterday's workout but it was just too late and I was too worn out yesterday so I used it as my rest day and decided to push the calendar a bit so I have Power Cardio today, the Plyometric Cardio tomorrow and follow the calendar as normal on Monday.

I've been putting it off all day however cause I did Bikram Yoga for the first time this morning with some friends and it kinds wiped me out! (But I didn't leave the room, even though it was tempting!)

Starting insanity monday... How many days a week should I do it for? Just starting out?

confession time.:embarassed: I havent even started Insanity!! I just havent been having enough energy. I work at a daycare From 9 to 6. And when I get home all I wanna do is sit and watch tv/computer. I keep saying tmrw tmrw thmrw. But it never happens. Any advice? I tried the am workouts and I just dont have any strength I am so tired. I know I just need to get off my butt and do something!!!

A workout buddy? Can you rope any of your friends in? We're all here obviously but sometimes you do need someone physically there to help you get started. I started working out at a friends house for motivation and then we dropped down to just a 'prompt' call. Motivation does vary however so maybe you're having an off week? How about starting on a weekend when you're not working (hopefully)?

Maybe if you plan to workout in the morning before going to work?? That way you can get it out the way, and once you get over the initial workout fatigue, you may have more energy throughout the day.

^Yeah!! Posture plays a huge role in being able to keep your core tight. Keep your shoulders rolled back and sternum lifted so your core becomes elongated and you can take deeper breaths. That way your core will become engaged easier!:)

I would agree! Typically speaking, working out in the morning is a great motivator for the rest of the day. You feel more energetic, and you actually burn more calories throughout the day, even when dormant. Working out in the evening adds stress to a body that is already tired. I can almost guarantee that it is just gettin into a routine. You could work out at 3am, and as long as you allow your body to adjust, it will feel normal after a little while. The hardest part is getting out of bed, when you could just as easy sleep in another hour and a half. Get into a routine. The hardest part about working out is getting up. GET UP! Salut----Josh

I do the upper body weight training Dvd that came w the deluxe version in addition to cardio recovery. It actually makes me feel like I worked out!

Hi! I tried to start Insanity last Thursday, I did the first workout. Really enjoyed it but had to stop several times and catch my breath throught out which I expected. I woke up Friday morning and OMG...I could hardly get out of bed and literally had to crawl down the stairs. I've never ever been so sore after a workout, my calves were the WORST I was popping Tylenol all day, I don't usually do that... By Saturday I could function a little better so I did a 3 mile walk and yesterday I did a Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 workout. I really want to start Insanity, but I am scared out of my wits! If I try and start it again tonight will the soreness come back tomorrow like it did last time? I don't mind a little soreness, makes me feel like I'm done something good, but I can't handle it to the point of pain....
