PJ anything is allowed! Keep going no matter what but go at your own pace. It doesn't get any easier but you do get stronger so just keep plugging away! Good luck!

Insanity is a kick butt workout program from Beachbody. Shaun T is the instructor and he's awesome. It's a 60 day program that's split into 2 months...5 workouts scheduled in month 1 and 4 new ones during month 2. If you google "Insanity" there are tons of videos for you to watch to see what it's all about.

:laugh: It gets better I promise!!!

Don't worry about what the scale says during Insanity. Your body is going to go crazy because of the additional intensity and your muscles will retain water like crazy. You may find yourself hungrier than normal as well. I promise it will all even out in the end. Keep going because the feeling of accomplishment you'll get…

ROUND 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Week 1 Day 1 Core Cardio & Balance Since I just did a Fit Test I decided to substitute today's workout for Core Cardio & Balance. I love this one. I've seen some great progress since round 1. I'm able to last longer in all of the exercises. I can complete all the level 1 drills and I only needed…

EVERYONE (myself included) starts off doing the fit test and thinking they're going to die! I couldn't even imagine making it through 1 week let alone 1 month! I start my 2nd round on Monday and I am amazed at how far I have come. A couple of things to keep in mind... 1. Don't watch the screen for longer than you need to…

Week 10 Recovery - Core Cardio & Balance Round 2 starts Monday. Can't wait!

Welcome! Off to friend both of you......

Awesome Chuckels! Glad you'll be joining us too!

Fantastic! I look forward to hearing all about your progress!

Yay Laura!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Week 10 Recovery Decided my body needed a rest day, especially since I stayed up way later than usual to watch my Giants beat the Panthers. Will get back to Core Cardio & Balance tomorrow.

You are just the cutest Tai! :heart: Now get your butt onto my team so we can harness all your inspiration and take you to the next level!!!! :laugh: Round 2 here we come....!

Week 10 Recovery Today's progress report...I was able to complete all 5 of the level 1 drills without stopping!!! Go ME!!!

I just finished round 1 and plan to start round 2 next week! Feel free to add me if you want. ; )

I just finished round 1 today. It's an awesome program. I plan to start round 2 next Monday! Feel free to add me if you need a buddy!

I think you're being kind! :tongue: Thank you though! I tried to stick to 1200 - 1300 net calories (probably about 1750 - 1850 calories w/o exercise) and concentrated on cleaning up my diet...lean protein, veggies, whole grain carbs, fruit, and good fats (mostly natural peanutbutter, avocado, and olive oil). I drank tons…

Not sure if there are any noticeable differences from day 1 to 63 but here are the before/after pics from round 1: Day 1 Front Day 63 Front Day 1 Side Day 63 Side

Week 9 Day 6 Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs Ok so I needed to take 2 rest days this weekend before I was physically able to bang out the last workout in Round 1 but I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of myself for accomplishing this goal. I didn't lose the amount of weight I thought I would (only 5.3 lbs total)…

Week 9 Day 6 Taking today as my rest day. Will bang out the last workout in round 1 tomorrow...Max Cardio and Cardio Abs. Should be painful!

Week 9 Day 5 Max Interval Plyo 1 more day until round 1 is OVER!!!!!!! I can't say I lost a ton of weight but I can say I've seen my entire frame shrink as a result of this first 60 days. I'll be posting final results on Sunday and plan to do the final fit test on Monday so I won't be able to post those until that day.

Week 9 Day 4 Core Cardio & Balance Woke up extra sore this morning. I think my body really needs a recovery WEEK or two before I start back in on round 2 of Insanity. I think I'm going to play this by ear and see how I feel after a week.

Week 9 Day 3 Max Interval Circuit I was pleasantly surprised to see that tomorrow's workout isn't the usual Max Recovery; it's Core Cardio and Balance (my favorite). My HRM seems like it was on the fritz today so maybe I have to think about buying a new one before I start round 2. I have definitely noticed some changes in…

Week 9 Day 2 Max Cardio Conditioning and Cardio Abs Morning Y'all! OMG I was so hungry this morning! I drank my protein shake post workout and then had a good breakfast of egg whites and 2% reduced fat cheddar slice on a whole wheat sandwich thin. An hour later I was starving so I ate a banana which thankfully seems to…

Week 9 Day 1 Max Interval Plyo I can't believe I've made it to the final week of Insanity! I'm going to have to start filling out the paperwork to submit my results and get my tee shirt!!!

Week 8 Day 7 Rest Day Love Sundays!
