SO SO SO Sorry this is posted so late. That 9:30am 3mile run really did a number on me and I was totally not expecting to feel so drained. Here is DAY 2 of week 2 tip of the day. Try to eat 5 times per day—3 meals and 2 snacks—each with roughly the same amount of calories. It keeps your blood sugar stable instead of…

Mikeyh is right! It is normal. I was burning less too so DO NOT worry about it. I just learned this thru P90X...the stronger/better you get the less you will burn in calories BUT your metabolism will still grow. :D So you'll burn more thru out the day.

yes week 5 is all core cardio. if you need to replace pure cardio I would suggest doing plyometric cardio. how are you doing these? I assume you dont have the dvd set with you? not really understanding.

Totally agree here ^^^. it does get easier the more you do it the stronger your get. I had power/resistance today. it was crazy but I think its my fav. I could tell I was getting more in and working harder. :) @boberrymom, your very welcome. usually I do this on facebook so we can post pics of food, sweat, ect. it really…

Omy GOODNESS! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this program. I agree with @ironpudge it feels so great to break yourself and pick yourself back up. WE are getting stronger and faster every time we do. I know I feel like "crap" when I am pushing and picking up speed but I keep telling myself to keep going. "You will not finish…

Fellow Michigander! Im from South East, MI (Port Huron). I love to meet people and keep motivated and accountable with others. Feel free to ADD me if you'd like. I am also on FB too...so if you are as well and want to connect there I have some fit groups there. :D Be fabulously fit and stay focused ya'll! Health is more…

OK, so I have had at least 15 people reply now and they all said they never had "withdrawal" symptoms. You can however feel a lack of energy especially if you go back to unhealthy habits. Due to the high nutrients in Shakeology your body gets energy from that and feels healthier. So thats about the only difference. If you…

DAY 7: Today is your rest day. No workouts today—be sure to rest your body. Get outside or enjoy time with friends and family, but don't do a strenuous workout on your rest day. This is the time your body needs to rest and recover for the next week. Pushing hard every day could lead to injury or pain. Plus REST is part of…

Yikes! No, I have not heard this or experienced it. I have been using Shakeology for 3 years now. I currently am on the Vegan kind too (chocolate and the tropical strawberry). I have gone everyday for months....I also have gone without a shake for a week and in the beginning I started and stopped shakeology with no issues.…

DAY 6: Awesome job on completing Week 1! You should be so proud of yourself for getting through this week . . . I know it wasn't easy. What is your "Why"? Anyone willing to share what was keeping you Pushing Play all this week?

So how has it been going thus far? Have you noticed fatigue or lack of intensity in workouts or bonking out in the evenings? I know it seems strange to eat so much, but it does work and has a method behind it. I just wanted to check in with you ladies that decided to alter the intake and see how things are going about 1…

I have been doing P90X for the last 81 days. So far I only lost 7lbs but I have droped a lot of inches and I am down a pant size with a little room, so I think once I am done in just over another week I will be down 2 sizes. Not sure what the weight will be though.

Hey guys! So how was day 5? We have completed all the workout DVD's for month 1. (Not the month, but just the used dvds for this first month). How did you do? How did you like the workouts? Do you have a favorite yet? Tomorrow is a repeat of Plyo Cardio Circuit....are you ready!!!!!????!!!! Most have a hard time with the…

I will try to pay attention to those tomorrow and see what I could suggest. I know I have issue with switch kicks due to my knee so depending on how tolerable the knee is sometimes I step thru while staying low so that my contraction/tightening is still fully engaged. :D HTH.

DAY 5: Is anyone in here drinking Shakeology? Just incase you are I wanted to post this today and ask about your thoughts and personal experience with Shakeology. What benefits have you noticed in your first week of drinking Shakeology®? Fun Fact: Instead of going to a juice chain and getting a wheat grass shot for $3,…

I was going to post threads daily then decided to just pot them here, BUT I am now going back to my original plan. I think it will be easier to find especially if there is a quote, or motivation tip, or fitness focus reminder that you see and want to recall again. Hope your day is going Great! Enjoy! And I am starting Pure…

DAY 4! This is an exciting time. You are about to make big changes in your life. Before you jump in, make sure you watch the workouts, understand the moves, and modify those that are above your skill level so that you are always working hard, but at your own level. How did you do today with Cardio Recovery? I was SO SO…

INSANITY is just that....it will make you feel like crap and want to puck during BUT after you cool down and catch your breath you will feel amazing! I love MFP, but I really really wish they allowed groups to post pics. I would share with you all but dont want on my page for all to see...ya know...lol. :P I have some…

Its best to do it properly and slower if you have to. The more you do it the better you get, the better you get the faster you will move. So always use proper form over speed!

DAY 3: The key this week is landing softly and learning to engage your core. When beginning or advancing in a workout program, the primary muscles often get stronger before the connective tissue does. This can result in discomfort, particularly in the joints. How do you avoid this with an intense program like INSANITY?…

@mzbrentzel, Exactly! I dont want to see anyone drop out on this....its too important not only to YOU but your family, friends, co-workers. The way you feel about yourself trickles down to everyone around you. Plus I need everyone of you too....when you dont have anyone in your friends/family network to work out with you…

@Andriachelle1, By "standard' norm for women no less than 1500 I believe (google that). So doing Insanity will require you to really increase cal to keep up with the intensity of it, (energy) burns like crazy. You will starve with Insanity if 1390 is what you normally consume. 1390 cals, how long have you been at that…

I know today was CRAZY....those push up jacks are hard....the one I disliked the most was the Globe ones. UGH! Keep going you all are doing GREAT! YOU made it with Fit test and/or Day 1. Before you know it you'll be at the end. WooooWhoooo.

WOWZIERS....this is INTENSE!

DAY 2: It's DAY 2 and I wanted to remind you about Hydration, hydration, hydration! Water helps curb hunger. Shaun suggests drinking half of your body weight in ounces of water each day. Not only will water keep you hydrated and quench thirst, it will ease your hunger. Have you read your nutrition guide yet? If not get all…

Good Morning folks, Time to DIG DEEP! Today is going to be a long one for me. And I am starting early to crush the day! :happy: Plyo Circuit today just incase you did not see before I posted Week #1 schedule on the main board in our group here. Have FUN.

@ghs, Yes, that would be great! If you all want to use this Thread to post on your daily workout that is fine. And those that are in the 2weeks ahead can stay on that one. I will be posting daily little tid bits, motivational quotes, sometimes videos (like I already did), etc. Things I find to help keep us motivated and…

@mz NO MORE starting and stopping. I did that too for like 2 yrs and I ended up having a bunch of programs. We are going to do this and you are Committed therefore you will be comming here when you feel discouraged or unmotivated to work, and we will help to light that fire! I totally DISLIKE that we can not post pictures…

The majority of use are starting Day 1 TODAY. Good for you girls to keep pushing. No turning back now....Always look forward never look back. Take it one day at a time and you will do just fine. :happy:

Yes WE can. Hey if anyone wants to friend me on Facebook my page is www.facebook.com/turbomoma I am so excited to have so many of you all doing this Challenge with me. It really is so much better to workout with others then to do it on our own. Enjoy Day 1, this will be the cake of the first week....hehe. :laugh:
