What workout did you do today?
Just an idea, but maybe you could post what your Insanity workout you did daily/weekly in here to hold each of us responsible?

Insanity - The Asylum Vol 1
I started this today. Did the fit test which I did not find too bad, more awkward then anything. I am excited to be back at it and can't wait to finish on May 17th to see what results I get =) If you are doing this, feel free to post your fit test results! Fit Test 1 - April 8 2013 Agility Heisman - 7 In & Out ab…

Insanity - COMPLETED
Ok!! So there are a bunch of us graduating from Insanity the end of this week so I thought I would start a thread where we can all post our final achievements!!!

Going Insane Part 8 - All Over and I kicked Insanity's *kitten*
Insanity eh? The early morning ads, the relentless saturation of 6 packs and before and afters at 6am on seemingly every music channel on Cable TV. Shaun T and his cohorts telling me how this is the toughest work out around. So many testimonials where people who were already in better shape than me now have ridiculously…

Starting Wed and looking for friends
I'm starting insanity Wed and looking for friends for support and advice.

Going Insane Part 7 - ... a quote from Elton John
So, I'm coming to the end of month 2, week 2. It's been interesting. I half expected the workouts to be super-hero level training drills. During my first warm up, when I was doing hit the floor ( an exercise in Month 1 - part of month 2's warm up ) I was genuinely worried. As it turns out though, Month 1 has prepared me…

Going Insane Pt 6: Time to recover...
So, Insanity Month 1 is complete ( except it's not - I still have a recovery week ahead of me ) All things considered, I think it's gone very well. I started off optimistically enough, but somewhat nervously. It's a tough work out and I'm a big lad. Would I be able to cope with the intensity 6 days a week? Would injury…

What do you find challenging during this Insane journey?
For me the biggest challenge is not going over my calorie goal. The problem is not that my calorie goal is low. I eat 1450 average a day and I eat ALL my calories back that I burn from exercising. Until now I managed to keep up. I think I also need some time to adjust. Was doing Weight Watchers and just switched over to…

Body Measurements
So I noticed that there was not a conversation for this topic, Would be cool to see measurements as they are taken every 2 weeks: Nov 20 2012: Weight- 147.4 BMI- 25.3 Body Fat %- 24 Neck- 13 Chest- 34 Waist- 29 Hips- 36.5 Right Thigh- 21.5 Left Thigh- 21.5 Right Calf- 14.5 Left Calf- 14.5 Right Bicep- 11.5 Left Bicep- 11.5…

Insanity - how to track calories burnt
Hey, I was just wondering what people put in for their calories burned for insanity. Do most people have a heart rate monitor? I noticed with other weight loss programs there are calculators or other devices that will tell you approx. how many calories you should burn with entering your weight etc. If anyone could help me…

Going Insane pt 5 - The Sleeping Giant
2 weeks down - what can I say? I'm happy with my progress and to quote Cam from Modern Family " I'm excited for me ". My 2nd fitness test was an improvement on the first and, really, what more can I ask for other than improvement? ( I've checked and a night with Pink and a few bottles of Jim Beam isn't an option - stuck up…

Going Insane Pt 3: I'm Rocky
The boards seem very quiet, so thought I'd share my Insanity blog - someone might be interested, you never know. So, I've just started my 2nd week of Insanity and thought I'd share my impressions of Week 1. I liked it. It's pretty tough, don't get me wrong, but I love the intensity of the sessions, the variation of moves…

Going Insane Pt 4 - The Strange Case of The Lumbering Oaf
So today I did Cardio Power & Resistance and tomorrow I've Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs and that's week 2 done. Whoop Whoop and all that Jazz. In general I think my fitness is already increasing. I'm more comfortable and confident in the exercises, the squats are a little lower, the jumps are a little higher the transitions…

It's Week 9!!!!
It's Week 9 Everyone lets end it w/ a BANG!!!!! I can't believe insanity is almost over !!! It was the hardest workout I've ever done in my life being able to do Insanity shows I've come a loong way !

injury....
Hi all! On my forth week of insanity I did a plank, and felt a slight pain in my lower back. Probably my form wasn't perfect, and I pushed myself too hard. Since then my lower back hurts... It really sucks, I was advised to rest until it goes away. I feel really miserable, because I can't do this great workout, because I…

I'm back!
This is day 1 for me...again! Feeling good, feeling motivated, and a positive attitude! I can and will do this! Anyone else just starting?

Other programs that you want/plan to do after Insanity?
Whether it's a hybrid or other Beach Body programs or any other programs?

Push ups!
I've found this guide on how to go from zero push ups to 100! http://scoobysworkshop.com/zero-to-100-pushups-for-complete-beginners/ Before Insanity I couldn't do 1 push up, now maybe 10 or so... I would like to move on to the Asylum one day, so I think my upperbody strength should improve way more before I try that one.…

How did it go?
The holidays? Were you all able to keep up with your workout plans? How about nutrition? :smile:

Insanity - 27/12/12
Hello all, I have just restarted Insanity on Thursday 27th December, I didn't want it to be a New Years thing so have made a point of getting going before Hogmanay! Tracing my calories burned with a heart rate monitor I got for Christmas, only just realising how much of a burn you get in such a short space of time. I find…

Missing Insanity
Well, I have not done my Insanity workout for almost a week now. I had two problems. First, I tweaked my knee, which I understand is common with Insanity. I continued to workout on it but then had to stop so I didn't injure it further. I am doing a 5K run on New Year's Day and don't want to miss it. I also had a problem…
-
Progress Pics
I think people should post progress pics to show how Insanity is helping them improve. You could post a "before" photo and an "after" photo when you finish the 1st and 2nd month. I'll try and take a photo tomorrow before my fitness test. I don't take underwear or bikini pics but I can take a picture in my tank top and…

How to get enough protein
I would like to hear how some of you get enough protein in your diet for a 40/30/30 plan, as is suggested for Insanity. I can never seem to get enough protein. Part of my problem is that I absolutely cannot do eggs. The thought of eating a scrambled egg--blah! In the mornings, I nearly always eat a breakfast sandwich of…

Anyone else experience foot cramps?
After 4 weeks of doing Insanity, I was hoping my arches would adjust. I feel that my feet are losing feeling often during the workouts, and sometimes in the middle. I end up having to stop so I can stretch out my arches. Could it be my shoes, or should I do certain stretches?

I need MFP friends.... maybe some Insanity junkies =)
Only one of my real life friends is on MFP... and my mom who joined and then never logged on again. :ohwell:

Entering week 4 and no major results
Hi all, I'm started my week 4 workout and I'm feeling discouraged. I've taken a 4th set of pictures, and measurements, been following the nutrition outline and keeping tabs of my food on here at myfitness pal. I am guilty of not drinking enough water...but still, these crazy workouts where I'm pushing myself to dripping…

Insanity Accomplishment!
I am curious to know which parts of the workouts have you completed that made you feel effing awesome. Granted, I know each workout makes you feel like a superhero but are there any particular moves you really are stoked you've mastered. Here's mine... During month one...I was ecstatic when I could make it through all of…

Insanity VS Asylum

Cardio Rotational Push ups where you use either weights or a resistance band. 1# Pick up your weights,Bicep curl then squat.Come up. Release and do a push up. Jump up and repeat for 8 reps. then you go do about 2…

Tell me your thoughts on Insanity please pros and cons
I love doing video series, I can do that better than giving myself exercises to do, I push myself harder and tend to stick with it. I most recently finished Chalean Extreme/Turbo Fire hybrid and love the strength training that came from it. I have been reading in this board for a few weeks now and am trying to decide if I…

men vs women insanity
Is it just me, or did anyone else think that there'd be more men doing Insanity in this groups? I'm not complaining : it's Girl Power!
