@mtringali13 What @JTB51 said! I'm in month two, week two. I admit it isn't easy but I have learned that it doesn't matter if I can't keep up with these folks in the video, let alone Shaun T. I modify quite a few things! I keep going though when I catch my breath or if I can't get the hang of all of the new moves. Just…

Thank you @sweetaddiction257 I believe that we're all here for a reason ... we're trying to take the right steps to become healthy & do what works best for us. I think we are on the right path. :)

I'm by far not an expert of this sort of thing. Based on my experiences here on most threads asking for advice is like throwing yourself into a pack of hungry wolves. People suck & they'll say mean things just to mess with you. When I asked a similar question, most people were saying I eat too much & I was overweight for a…

@gam3rguy Lol, I never workout without shoes on. I was just looking over the set & I also have Insanity Upper Body Weight Training. Have you tried that one?

@gam3rguy That sounds like a plan! P90X looks hard. Tony Horton is hilarious, he makes it seem like it would be fun to try! I have the Deluxe set for the Insanity workouts so I think I'll try them out & see how it goes. I believe there are three extra discs, one of them being Max Interval Sports Training & Insane Abs. That…

@julyskb I'm in my sixth week starting today. I really have seen a change in my body, but not as much as I would like to see directly under my belly button. I've lost quite a bit of fat though! I haven't measured myself lately but the last time I checked was three weeks ago, I think, & I had lost a total of 8" from when I…

I've been thinking about that one video Chelean Extreme, but I'm not sure. I do know I would like to keep some cardio incorporated in whatever I decide. I keep forgetting I have the Deluxe edition of Insanity & I probably need to do that. I've read somewhere that you should give your body a bit of a rest before diving into…

That is a long run! @kristinegift I workout at home (curcuit training) so I couldn't imagine it would be heat induced. I suppose I could compare it to hearing a favorite song, only 5x's more intense. I don't listen to music when I do my workouts, they're all on DVD's. I follow along & do my best to keep up :)

I actually use the MapMyWalk app to record my workouts, then they sync with MFP. It shows you how many calories you have burned, according to the workout you select, along with the minutes you've recorded.

Awesome, thank you! @brittanybock That explains a lot!

Really?! Awesome to know I'm not the only one! @_incogNEATo_ I would like to know what causes that ... when I get them it's not because of a song though. I could definitely see that happening if I were listening to music. Thanks for sharing!

Woo, hoo! Awesome job! So, how do you feel? Also, the most important question is what are you going to do next? Inquiring minds want to know! :)

I'd say Cardio! I'm in my fifth week (they don't count recovery week btw) starting on the second month. There's a group here you could join if you'd like! So glad to hear you're doing Insanity!

Good Luck! @ja9smakinachange Hope you get back on track soon!

That's awesome! @snarlingcoyote Sounds like you're doing fantastic!

Oh, boy! I suppose I need to do the same(?) I recently made some changes to my profile & it's set on active. Mainly because I know these coming weeks will be really tough for me & I'm going to be working my butt off. I read that in the second month of Insanity, there's a possibility of seeing a calorie burn in the…

@snarlingcoyote I'm right there with you! I do know, for a fact, this week I will be highly active so all the calories I indulged on yesterday will be gone by end of day! I'm starting month 2 of Insanity :D Woot woot!

@gam3rguy ... you're doing fantastic! Great Job!

@Lostcoastline ... I know how you feel! I can't say I'm not 100% able (yet) to complete each workout without taking a small pause but I try to as well. I have noticed that I don't have to stop anymore during the warm up! I think that's pretty awesome for me! **pats self on the back** Good Job! Mine starts Monday & I have…

@sweetaddiction257 I'll let you know how I do Monday ;) We're in this together now, lol!

I agree 100% @KingsGirl4 ... I don't think, I just do. I honestly believe the mind is a powerful thing! If you tell yourself you can do it, you will do it. I just try to focus on my form & keep up as best as I can. If I need to take a breather, I take one. Then I get right back in there. This next new week, I'll just…

I'm on day four of recovery week right now @sweetaddiction257 ... sitting on the edge of my ottoman watching the Max Interval Circuit video I'll be starting on Monday. Holy Cow! I just saw on the workout calendar the Fit Test is scheduled that day too? My excitement just turned to fear, lol! :#

Hello all, my name is Amanda & I live in Indiana! I'm a 40 yr old stay-at-home mother of two boys & one girl (18, 17, 13). I'm currently in week 5 of Insanity & I love it! This is recovery week for me & I'm super excited/nervous to see what next week has to offer. I've lost 5 lbs & a total of 8" since I've started. Feel…

I love recovery week! I'm really looking forward to next week but I'm also a lil nervous. I'm just really looking forward to fitting in my clothes (& a bikini) again ... that's my motivation!

I'm on the fourth day, week 5 of Insanity & I have to say I love it! I've lost 5 lbs & a total of 8" so far. Yes, it is very hard & if you decide to take on this workout you need to make sure you do not push yourself too hard too fast. My first attempt I pulled a muscle in my back in my third week & I had to take time off…

I'm 5'4" mother of three, turning 41 next mo. SW: 161 CW: 156/157 (I fluctuate) GW: 130'ish. by August. I haven't lost a lot of weight, but I have lost a total of 8". I'm in my fifth week of Insanity

I truly appreciate all the input! It's interesting to see what everyone is doing. I'm still trying to figure out what's right for me & I've tried both actually! My workouts are cardio right now & primarily in the a.m. after I take my kids to school. (I'm on week 5 of Insanity.) In the beginning I didn't eat anything before…

I love Danskin & 90 Degree, they work for me & they're not too expensive. I just bought a new pair of neoprine capri workout pants by Hot Shapers. I sweat my butt off when I wear them. As a side note, if your inner thighs touch ... you will definitely hear a swish swish when you walk, lol. I work out at home so it doesn't…

@multimartin ... I have to add my two cents ;) I'm on week 5 of Insanity. Since I've started, I've lost 4 lbs. & a total of 8". I'm no expert, but I think that's pretty good. Although I haven't lost a lot of weight, I can definitely feel myself getting stronger. In the beginning it was pretty intense but now it's becoming…

@esjones12 & @SezxyStef Thank you. This isn't my first time doing Insanity. The first time I attempted it, I lost 6 lbs. the first week. In my third week I pulled a muscle in my back & stopped in order to heal. I have been comparing my first go around to now. I realize it could have been water retention, regardless I was…
