  • hahahahahah this made me crack up! Goldy Bent Arrow...not so porn-ish. But my real name is Katie Jo and a drunk guy once called me "Kitty Jo," I think that is way more pornstar-worthy.
  • Agreed with the other posts. It sounds CRAZY, but totally makes a difference. I broke a plateau by eating more and it didn't make sense to me. I always thought eating less = faster weight loss, but it isn't true. Once you go into starvation mode you actually start storing all of the calories that you do eat, therefore it…
  • Good job! I am bouncing around between 134-138 but today it was 135, I am hoping to break my plateau as well and get down to 125!!!! Its nice to have someone with similar goals to work with! And congrats on finishing month 1-get ready for the insanity to really begin in month 2!!
  • On my cheat days I turn it into more of a "half" cheat day...meaning I usually get up, work out hard, and eat a healthy breakfast/lunch then whatever I want for the rest of the day. I find that if I work out and know how many calories I burned and how long it took to burn them, then I don't want to overdo it because I…
  • My fav lately has been grilled chicken with 1/2 cup brown rice..loaded with broccoli, onion, red bell pepper, carrots, and 1 tbsp of kraft light asian sesame dressing. It is DELICIOUS and you don't have to use much of the dressing to turn it into a meal that tastes like it came from a chinese restaurant! MMM so good. Oh…
  • DAMN! These fit test results are awesome! All of you are doing extremely well!!! Keep up the good work. I know it helps me when I look at my "before" number before starting the fit test, I feel like I have to do at least one more of each round!! And Happyisthin- I TOTALLY AGREE, the posture thing is so important. I think…
  • HAHAHAHA I know who you are talking about! It always cracks me up in one video where he is doing the high knee workout and TOTALLY slacking, and the cameraman zooms up on him and he just kind of laughs embarrassed like. Ahh time for pure cardio+abs for me! YAY for starting week 3!
  • Try biking...for some reason it makes the cramps go away (at least for a little bit) for me. The hardest part is just getting the motivation to get on the damn bike, but once I start I can usually go for awhile because the pain goes away. And I dont mean a stationary bike, I mean hop on a bicycle and go outside. The…
  • Alzina- my thighs def hate ski abs as well. And I lol'd at you, happy, because I also tell myself little tricks to get me to complete the exercises! Maybe I will have to think of falling while skiing to get me to get through those next time! :) I just finished day 13, my first time (on this round) of doing Pure Cardio +…
  • Hahah I have to agree- I HATE cardio recovery! I get all shaky while I am holding those poses, especially when he says to "squeeze your inner thighs together," man it works but I sometimes yell at the screen! Hahah yeah I am a little insane. And Happy-if you LIKE cardio recovery just wait till you do the MAX…
  • You are all welcome! I know that when I didn't have a HR monitor I needed this so I am happy to help!
  • No problem! I was in the same boat-just really getting worried that a 60 dollar HRM was not accurate DID NOT make me feel good, but by testing to see if the heart rate was accurate and then checkig the calorie burn I now know I have nothing to worry about! Glad I could help! :)
  • NICE JOB! The globe rotations are hard to ever go up in, you have to be speeding through and by that time my legs are usually mush. And for real-36 power jumps is GREAT. Those are the hardest for me. I can do more if I forget form (I feel like Tanya looks worse than the guy since she is doing them fast...but thats just me)…
  • Get fitted!!!! I keep buying these name brand expensive shoes to run/workout in and I always end up with blisters or just other problems associated with the shoes that I buy. I asked a friend (he runs marathons) and he said it is VERY important to get fitted for the right shoe as everyone has a different fit! A lot of shoe…
  • Hahah I feel the SAME way! I am always so sore but its weird-I keep looking forward to the next workout! And I always feel really good after a workout. All those endorphins pay off!
  • Oh I am right there with you! This was my first day off in a long time and I JUST took the dog for a walk after getting pretty pissed at myself! And it took hours to even do that lol, I definitely sat on the couch reading magazines and watching stupid youtube videos. But you know what? Now that I took my dog for a walk I…
  • Good job!! Its not mental-I am on week 2 and I can already tell a difference in my body!! The scale will fluctuate but you will start seeing and feeling the results no matter what the numbers say. I feel like my stomach is already tightening up! Yay insanity!!
  • OH SKI ABS i hate them! And I sweat like that too, I seriously drip with sweat even just after the warm up while stretching and then during teh cool down I watch it fall off me hahah, I've never sweat like that before!
  • I didn't take measurements or weigh ins as much as I should have during the first round and I also didn't follow the nutrition plan-but I went from 144 to 131 and you could definitely see the muscle! My obliques were the strongest they had ever been- and my legs were in the best shape I've ever seen them in. I need to…
  • Although its expensive, INSANITY is my favorite workout and it requires NO equipment. Just you, yourself, and your body! Its a 60 day cardio + calisthenics workout that really is "insane," but I highly recommend it. Sometimes you can find it cheaper on amazon or craigslist, but it really is worth the money. The cardio…
  • I get sore ALL over so its not weird lol its INSANE! :) My butt definitely feels it right now!! I have finished a round of INSANITY before but I had forgotten the intense soreness of week 1! Nice to see so many insane people on here-we rock! I gotta admit- I love Shaun T's encouraging words throughout the workout. And…
  • I totally understand where you are coming from. My boyfriend of 3 years tried to do insanity with me (a long time ago) and got annoyed that I was better than he was and he quit, and now won't do any type of workout with me. He said I am too competitive and that it makes him feel bad, but I never tried to "out do" him. He…
  • Agreed on your pic. That is what I WANT! It is so hard for me to target my abs...I think I work out enough but its the nutrition that throws me off! I am thinking about buying shakeology-who here uses it? Or is it overrated? AHH today is time for plyometric cardio circuit! It might be my favorite one...if favorite was the…
  • I totally understand your pain. It happens. IT SUCKS. I was down to 130 and then went on vacation and am now back to 140-where I started!!!! It doesn't feel fair to work out so hard and then 14 days later have it be for nothing-but thats the thing, you have to remember that it WASNT for nothing. Now I know that I can work…
  • So I feel like my heart rate is WAY higher than most people on here are! I use a timex HRM and I even will stop and track my heart rate with my pulse to make sure it is accurate. I have gotten up to 196 MAX! I just turned 23, and 5'4, and weighed in at 140 last time I weighed myself. I was at 130 but just got back from…
  • I am on week one! I finished the whole 60 days before but went on vacations and my routine went out the door. This time I am on day 4 and I am determined to finish it!
  • Well hello fellow vegasians :) I went by the LVAC and toured it, but I live realllllly far north and there isn't one that is close to my house. Should I get a membership anyway? What do you al like about it? I have been doing INSANITY which I love and its at home, but I want to incorporate lifting and swimming so I want to…
