I'm going to do a week of recovery...Core Cardio & Balance alternated with the Sports Training workout from the advanced series. I plan to kick off round 2 on Sept. 24. My plan after round 2 is to do a hybrid of Insanity and Chalean Extreme.

Congratulations! You look AMAZING!!!

Week 8 Day 6 Core Cardio & Balance Wow I love this workout!!! Can't believe I only have one more week to go to finish round 1 of Insanity. It seems like yesterday that I was just starting out. My tee shirt is so close I can taste it!!! I agree ciannaggi, Max Interval Circuit is by far the hardest (although I think Max…

GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just finishing up week 8 of my first round and I think it's totally worth it. The program is hard and you will be challenged but, because you're focused on working to your personal maximum, you'll continue to progress the longer you do it. Weight loss is slow; however, you will lose inches all over. There is no…

Week 8 Day 5 Max Interval Circuit This week has certainly flown. I can't believe I'm going to complete Round 1 in another week! MIC was pretty challenging today...those side suicides absolutely KILL me! I did more regular suicides that side ones just to get through the 3 rounds.
-
Week 8 Day 4 Max Recovery Still HATE this workout and I always look forward to getting it over with. Today was no different plus I stayed up later than usual last night to watch my beloved NY Giants lose so I'm extra tired. Sigh.... Looking forward to seeing puddles of sweat tomorrow from Max Interval Circuit!!!!!

That is awesome that you've found an outlet for support and motivation. It's so important to find others going through the same things you are. I find that whenever I come to MFP.

Welcome to the Insanity chuckels!!! Glad to meet you. I'm planning to start round 2 on Sept. 24 so I'll definitely be looking for people to join me for another 9 weeks of Shaun T!
-
That is awesome! Are you all going right into the next round or do you plan to do a recovery week first? I'm going to do a recovery week and plan to kick off round 2 on Sept 24.
-
So far I've lost 6.3 lbs and a bunch of inches all over. I feel smaller and my stomach has definitely shrunk. I do plan to do another round once I finish this one because I've heard you really see results from doing a 2nd round.

Week 8 Day 3 Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs I'm thoroughly exhausted after this workout. I can't believe I'm going to complete round 1 of Insanity in 11 days! It's unbelievable.
-
Week 8 Day 1 Max Interval Circuit Holy smokes only 2 weeks left until I complete my 1st round of Insanity!!!! I am so proud of myself for making it this far. I can almost see me wearing my "I Earned It" tee shirt! Puckers I try to eat around the same amount of calories each day 1750 - 1850 per the Insanity nutrition guide.…

Week 7 Day 7 REST DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOM finally came and I refuse to get on the scale because I know the number is going to be up. Why ruin a perfectly good Sunday when I know the gain is temporary?!?!?!?!!!
-
LOL Puckers. I'm not sure I prefer Month 2 workouts...although I do LOVE the copious amounts of sweat that fall off my body during each workout! If that's really fat crying then mine is BAWLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Week 7 Day 6 Core Cardio & Balance I forgot how much I love this workout. I pushed harder this time than I did during recovery week and got a good sweat on. I'm proud that I've finished another week of Month 2 and am now 2 weeks to program completion. Puckers thanks for your kind words. You made me feel a lot better! Hope…
-
Week 7 Day 5 Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs Ok so today was absolutely not my best effort. I'm pre-TOM and I've had a headache and an overall feeling of tiredness for the last 48 hours. The scale is up 4lbs (impossible since my eating doesn't support the idea that I've consumed an additional 14,000 calories since…
-
Week 7 Day 4 Max Recovery Still don't find anything relaxing about this workout. In fact some of the movements are downright painful. It was nice to take a break from all the jumping though.
-
Wow that's some progress you've made this month Puckers!!! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised that, for a hard as Month 2 is, your endurance will enable you to keep up a lot better. Can't wait to hear your thoughts next week!!!
-
Week 7 Day 3 Max Interval Plyo I think I really do have a love/hate relationship with this specific workout. It's really physically demanding and yet the moves are less difficult than the ones in Max Interval Circuit. Maybe it's all the variations of pushups we do in MIP??? Anyway, I felt like I gave it my all but my HRM…
-
Your abs look AMAZING!!! Congratulations on making it all the way through. I'm in the middle of week 7 and I'm hoping to see results as good as yours when I get to the end.
-
^This^. That's like saying CrossFit or Zumba or 30DS is a shortcut. Read any fitness magazine on the newstands today...they all tout the benefits of high intensity training....not every day for the rest of your life but certainly as part of an ongoing fitness plan. Diet pills and fad diets are shortcuts. Putting in the…
-
Welcome to you both and good luck! Insanity is hard but doable. Just go at your own pace and do the best you're able to do each time. Remember you're not trying to keep up with the people in the video...they've all been doing Insanity for multiple rounds. Eat as cleanly as possible but EAT. I'm sure you'll see some great…
-
Please remember me and my website when you request it as a present from someone!
-
The only way to get the shirt is if you purchased Insanity from BB because when you send your before/after results and pics in you also need to demonstrate that you bought the program. I am a coach, I would love to have you on my team (it's free to join), but doing so without buying the program won't get you the "I Earned…
-
LOL Sarah! For me it was all about training myself to get up early and make working out part of my morning routine. Knowing I get my workout done before the rest of my day begins means zero stress if I have to work late or my husband wants to do something at night or I'm just plain exhausted after work and want to sit on…
-
OMG I'm so happy for you! Those are fantastic results!!! Don't be nervous about Month 2...you'll be surprised at how much stronger you are and how much you'll be able to do in the longer workouts. Yes you will die and you will sweat more and you will wonder how the heck you're going to make it through the 3rd set BUT...I…
-
Yes I am. Are you?
-
Thanks Anne! For right now, my protein shake with a teaspoon of L-Glutamine added seems to be helping. I've yet to buy any recovery drink because they all seem to contain stuff I don't necessarily want to ingest.
-
Week 7 Day 2 Cardio Interval Circuit 60 minutes of pure hell but man do I feel fantastic when it's all over and I'm laying on my jump mat thoroughly exhausted in a big puddle of sweat!!!
