Lift heavy weights and eat lean to drop your body fat. For women, abs show when your body fat is below 20% Mine are almost too defined, they were just perfectly cut up for a while and now my obliques are popping too much... and I don't get periods because my body fat is near 17%. It's a trade-off, you get abs, but lose the…

I'd like to have some sexy guy friends! I love to have my girls in my corner but maybe knowing the guys are watching my 'back' would be helpful too. Add me!

I've just begun to go wheat/gluten free and have noticed that my knuckles are double size and super painful if I accidentally fall off the wagon. My knees used to be murder and now they feel amazing.

My family has the scale. I had to delete myself as a user because my gramma kept accidentally using my setting and I was tired of being congratulated for pounds I did not lose, only to have my badges taken away. I also wanted to throw it off a cliff because it was calling me fat. 34% body fat? I don't think so (check my…

I finished on time (started March 26th). It was tough and really sweaty. I did great on the last fit test so I'm 'in the pocket' for sure. I'll probably fit these routines in again, but my rest week will be lots of yoga and cardio, back to my favourite Chalean routines. Then it's time for the brazil butt lift! I'm so…

Most of the workouts so far (I'm on week 3) have warm-up and stretching finishing at the 20 minute mark of a 40 minute workout. I love that. I love that I'm already halfway done when the workout starts. Getting through the warm up is challenging, but I have no problem finishing it. I still take a few extra seconds of rest…

I really need to get an HRM. I ordered a fitbit and I'm all excited because I have a very active lifestyle outside of Insanity and usually do an extra workout too. I'd like to be more accurate with calories burned and eaten because while I love to exercise, I also LOVE to eat. If you want to laugh at my food diaries full…

March 26th April 9th Switch Kicks: 115 140 Power Jacks: 60 60 Power Knees: 84 101 Power Jumps: 30 37 Globe Jumps: 11 12 Suicide Jumps: 40 15 Push-up Jacks: 21 25 Low Plank Oblique: 57 67 Did Better on every exercise except the Suicide Jumps, which I'm now convinced I mis-counted on the original test. I did this one at the…

Here's a question I have about this workout: On the second wednesday the schedule calls for cardio circuit. I can't find a disc called that. Is this the Plyometric Cardio circuit again? It calls for both on the schedule... so confusing. Does anyone have a disc called Cardio Circuit?

Well, I got insanity and I'm on day 6. Brazil Butt Lift is in the mail. Can you share your hybrid plan? (I have turbo fire and the advanced tapes from all three).
-
Thanks, and feel free to add me if you want an insanity buddy. I'm going to stick with it and I'll just keep my back flat and head above my heart anyway because that is what feels right for stretching.

You CAN turn the music down so that you can hear her better but you won't need it for more than 1 run through, if that. You'll WANT to turn it up, it is AWESOME!!!
-
I just started insanity yesterday. I have done P90X and TurboFire. Hate P90X but LOVE turbo fire. I have been doing Turbo Fire for more than a year and still LOVE it but I also struggle way more with food. I'll add you as a friend and we can go through it together! So far, Insanity is tough and sweaty but not as fun as…

I started today, I'll add you as a friend. I did the fit test and did pretty decent compared with the guys in the video. I also just joined one of the insanity groups.
-
I did my first fit test today and got decent results: 115, 60, 84, 30, 11, 40, 21, 57. (formatting suggestions?) I won't be sending in my before and after pics though. I wouldn't give a company pictures of my body, especially 'before' pictures to use as they please in marketing for a measly free t-shirt.
-
Just did the fit test today! I beat most of the test numbers set by the guy and girl working out in the video and definitely needed to follow it up with another workout. So... the Fit Test wasn't insane at all, I'm optimistic! I love the intense cardio conditioning of TurboFire, I just hope this is as fun!
-
This might be right up my alley. I do TurboFire, including the awesome advanced dvds and use the Chalean Extreme deluxe tapes (only the tougher ones) every single day and have been blending them for months and months. I have P90X and hate it but add a workout or two here and there! I'd love to add another program and was…

Kashi Go Lean Crunch is great, and Kashi Honey Alomond and Flax has about equal nutrition and is yummy too.... but the real secret is to mix these 2 cereals!!!! Buwahaha! It is amazing, and has the best nutrition of any cereal out there. Kashi lovers: Try this and tell me it isn't awesome!

I love working out to fun sexy music. Rock that body -Black eyed peas My chick bad -Busta Rhymes More -Usher Can't second Harder, Faster, Stronger enough; that one is awesome, and Katy Perry's E.T. (the kanye remix) is great lately. I do TurboFire and I LOVE how motivating the music is and how it goes with the crazy…

I have Turbo Fire, P90X and the deluxe Chalean Extreme tapes and I liked Bobby from P90X (not a trainer either).... Chalean is hot, but did you notice how amazing her little sister Janelle looks? and don't get me started on Toni Fire! 7 kids (including a set of quadruplets) and the chick looks like a million bucks. What…

Don't wait till Monday. That is 3 good workout days away! Sorry, I am kinda addicted to Chalean and can't imagine going a day without her. I don't have the Chalean Extreme program, but I do have the deluxe tapes for Chalean Extreme and have done Turbo Fire (Chalean's newest program) which is crazy intense and lots of fun.…

Eat more, exercise more. Do more strength training, which will boost your metabolism. Eat more protein and calorie rich foods like nuts to bring you up to the right number of calories.

I went public and whenever I have to admit to my food diary that I ate half a bag of Chipits white chocolate chips for no good reason last night, I expect people to give me ****, but they never do. So please, be sure to friend me and we can both laugh at my poor eating habits. I am an avid food diary surfer and cannot…

I am a P90X Yoga Hater. I hate it so much I quit P90X and got Turbo Fire, which is awesome and more woman-oriented. I am done that and have started incorporating other Chalean tapes and some of the better P90X workouts. You should enjoy your workout. They'll be painful sometimes, but no workout should be as mind-numbingly…

Firstly, I would check your math. 29.6 to 26 is a little less than 4 pounds, not 6. This is totally within reason.
-
This topic is my motivation right now. I haven't really lost any more weight since this summer but have been working out like nuts (P90X and Turbo Fire). I love Chalean's wisdom: "The most important exercise to get 6-pack abs is walking; specifically, walking AWAY from the refrigerator." I feel so strong but ice-cream and…

I don't have any children but I once offered a 7 year old girl a soda and she insisted she should have a diet soda and went on to describe her skinny growing frame as fat. It was upsetting. I remember feeling fat as early as grade 4 or 5 and I see pictures of myself and I was a skinny kid. My dad used to have a graph on…

Just Dance 2 has a 'Just Sweat' program that determines your effort level during each song along with your score (which is how accurately you did the moves), the sweat points aren't actual calories burned. I ADORE Just Dance 2 but also do a DVD based workout program called Turbo Fire. There are Wii games that incorporate…
-
Kinect looks so exciting. For Wii: Just Dance 2 is an amazing and SUPER fun and sweaty cardio burn. EA Active (and the 'more workouts' version) are awesome. The Active games combine strength training with cardio and keeps track of your progress so it is great as a fitness program. I just saw and ad for the third and very…

I think I am doing this experiment right now! I have an eating problem, I really, really like fat and sugar. (I am making my way through a big bag of mini Reese peanut butter cups as we "speak." I have been tracking my calories in/out with this site since May. In recent months, my fat and sugar diet has been out of…
