When I was doing atkins...during my workouts I noticed my endurance was pretty low. My trainer told me to drink a protein shake with carbs before the workout and after..it did not effect my Ketosis state.

I'm burning between 300-600 according to HRM. Taebo will give you a higher reading

How about early early am or late evening outdoors...you can do the same thing indoors..just stay under the fan!

Me! I cycle! I'm training for midnight ride in chicago in a few months!

check ebay or craigslist for used copies! i actually borrowed by brothers..he completed 2 rounds!

I'm on day 5..getting stronger each day! friend me if you like :)

it's definitely over the actual amount. Compared to the HRM its at minimum 100 or more calories higher

60-90 mins 6 x weekly

1400 minimum-1700 max...bmr is 1689

I learned how to jog/run on my own. I tried this program but it didnt work for me. I found that running continuously for 8 mins was better for me than intermittent sprints.

Start Date: 7/2/12 Projected End: 8/31/12 Following Nutrition Guide: Somewhat staying under 1600 Starting weight(with Insanity): 192 lbs Goal Weight(hoping to reach after completion): 10-15 lb loss I will be doing a 3-5 mile walk daily and strength training 3 x weekly Let's dig deep everyone!

I have a new balance N4 for women..love love love it!!!

When i feel like quitting...or i can't do a particular exercise...i just keep moving..i dont push myself to the point of hurting my knee or ankle..but i do keep moving and doing something! take the breaks you are due..you will be fine :)

Insanity Plyometrics, treadmill, and strength training!

Day 2 in the books! Burned 305 calories per HRM. The circuit was intense but not overwhelming!

What about DVDs? Also if you have comcast..they have a fitness section on demand

I've been here since 3pm..so thats around 6 hours. I know of the BMR but I'm new to this HRM thing and just want to know if its giving me the right data. I am also wearing a chest strap

Turbo Jam was ok..but I was bored very easily and lost focus. Chalean Extreme and Insanity

Try Leslie Sanson walking dvds, or you can do just about any aerobic exercise just don't go so deep into the moves

3 mile walk/Day 1 of Insanity "Fit Test"

I think the only problem r/t running while overweight is the effects on your weight bearing joints. This too depends on HOW overweight you are, for example 10 lbs overweight may or may not affect your abilities

I just completed the Fit test today and my HRM told me 170 calories for 20 mins..i am 32, for your age and duration, I believe this is correct

Hi Team! Here are my results! 1) Switch Kicks - 110 2) Power Jacks - 35 3) Power Knees - 92 4) Power Jumps - 30 5) Globe Jumps - 10 6) Suicide Jumps - 23 7) Push-up Jacks - 9 8) Low Plank Obliques - 26 Good luck on day 2 everyone!

The HRM will be more accurate! The machines give an extremely higher number.

Thanks for the tips! I did the fit test and almost died! I'm not new to exercise so i can tell a challenge is ahead :)

Great results! keep up the good work!

Yes you can..it's one of the easiest exercises out here!!!

My husband thinks I'm an addict too...I work out about 5-7 days a week..sometimes twice a day! My son has a personal trainer @ the gym as well--helping him train for the upcoming football season. I usually go walking or cycling in the early am then hit the gym afterwards for a hour or so. I'm starting Insanity on Monday…

bump! good point!

I think you answered the question already. You do need a HRM with calorie counting function. I am starting Insanity also on Monday with the group...you should Join! I purchased a New Balance HRM from Target @ $70....it comes with the chest strap and counts calories! Good luck
