Day 10: Plyometric Cardio Circuit Hoowee, I did alot better today than I did yesterday but still couldn't keep up with the whole video. I am starting to feel a little discouraged but I guess I shouldn't really judge anything until I finish the program in it's entirety. I'm not noticing any difference in physical appearance…

Same here, Oikos 0% Fat Greek Yogurt, Plain. Tasted real bad but I'm starting to acquire a taste for it. Never thought I'd be THAT guy, sitting there eating a yogurt or even a salad outside of a side meal or something. A Salad was not something I would have thought I'd eat as a meal either (Spinach Chicken salad, no…

Day 9: Pure Cardio (x2!) A'ight, so for today, I was disappointed in myself. I woke up at 6:35AM to eat something and give myself about an hour or two to get that out the way, then workout. Well, I didn't eat nothing and I went back to bed (Man, Studying for Finals this week has got me whipped...). My Alarm by way of a…

Day 8: Cardio Power and Resistance Man, I too felt sluggish and unmotivated to workout today. I read some of y'alls posts beforehand and figured I'd be a'ight once I started. The whole time I kept thinkin', "when is the drive gonna kick in?" and sure enough it did. The trigger for me was after the first cool down. My sweat…

Day off for me! Though like y'all, I feel kind of cheated out. I'm tryin' to keep myself from taking a nap cause I feel that if I slow down my metabolic rate while sleeping, it'll counter against the increased metabolic rate from a week of exercise. Granted it won't affect it much by a day, but still- I got it in my head,…

I agree, to each their own, since no one knows their body more than themselves. Thanks for the reminder of how Insanity works. I'll probably just walk the 4 miles (or do 3/4 walk and 1/4 jog on each lap). For HRM's, I've searched the forums for suggestions and most keep pointing towards the Polar and Garmin Brand.…

yeah, I'm just now addicted to keep on moving. I'm already noticing little things after a week and I just want to keep it moving beyond a normal day's routine. Jody, I would workout on the carpet if I could. Unfortunately, we have hardwood floor, so it ain't easy on the joints. I Almost always have to drag an area rug with…

Thanks! Another question I have for y'all is about Rest Days. I know answers will vary but with y'all knowing the general intensity of Insanity, would it be wise to walk/jog 4 miles on Rest Day or should I just hole up my now energized (yet sore) body to normal, everyday tasks?

•So let me get this straight, basically you're saying that you're going to view your body with a positive outlook throughout your journey. •You're doing this for health reasons and to feel more energized etc etc, not with a final weight in mind. Your post doesn't come across that you "like" being fat because it doesn't…

Day 6: Plyometric Cardio Circuit Was a nice break from the Pure Cardio from yesterday. However, I felt sluggish through the entire video, legs were heavy. Surprisingly, I wasn't sore when I woke up this morning, I was tight everywhere, just minus the pain. I'm thinkin' it's because I adjusted my caloric intake and managed…

LSU, nice! I went there and switched to BRCC for Finance Reasons. Heading Back to LSU after Associate's to finish out Bachelors. Good College in my opinion, can't wait to get back in it.

Day 5: Pure Cardio Extreme Hell on Earth for me. I went into this video thinking "oh crap, no breaks?! What's everyone talkin' about?" Glad to find out there is a break, just before the halfway cool down; granted, the other videos so far have more breaks in between the workouts themselves. I was extremely proud of myself…

Day 4: Cardio Recovery Man I'm glad we got a Recovery day in, because I noticed that tomorrow is Pure Cardio. That sounds like Hell on Earth, at least for me; Cardio is my weakness. I can handle playin' around with weights if need be but Cardio kicks my *kitten*. As for today's workout, I had a hard time doing the tabletop…

Day 1: Fit Test I figured it'd be an easy day to ease my way into the Program but was quickly shot down as I rushed against time and energy to make some number appear for each exercise. I thought I may have done good except for the Power Jumps and Globe Jumps. Hopin' the low score was in tandem with the confusion of new…

Fit Test #1 Switch Kicks (2 kicks = 1 rep): 36 Power Jacks: 26 Power Knees: 52 Power Jumps: 5 Globe Jumps (4 jumps = 1 rep): 2 Suicide Jumps: 17 Push Up Jacks: 13 Low Plank Oblique: 25 Hooowee I feel out of shape after finally comparing my data to someone else's. I'm hoping I can blame the low fitness level with the…

Gender: Male Age: 22 Height: 5'10" Start Weight: 155lbs End Weight: _____ Start: May 6, 2013 End: __________ No prior exercise regimen, reckon I'd start now and finish out around the middle of Summer. Then keep the fitness by continuing exercising.

I hear you on the Finals drawback on exercisin'. As for the arm/ab workout, I know of a few workouts pulled from P90X and Insanity. I'm not sure what your workout regimen consists of when you're not bogged down by School, but you could follow the P90X "Ab Ripper X" DVD regimen for the core/ab workout [it's all done on the…

You didn't put gender of friends you wanted, but I'll be the one with the bigger set of gonads and post before the other dudes, heh. I'm 22 and going to college as well; Premed here with a goal of Neurosurgeon in the future. Have been on MFP for a few months but ain't been using it much. I've picked up Insanity and started…

true, alot of a good thing is no longer a good thing. Well shoot, I'll keep ya'll posted on my digestive system then, be feelin' it tonight! Nah joking, I ain't going to heh. Thanks for all ya'll that replied, guess I'll cut it down to about 3 glasses and try to keep the syrup out of it.
-
you know, theres some other guys fishing for ya'll, I figured I tried something different. Crabbin', what? put a teddy bear on the net and watch ya'll swarm it. Bait will change once I know what the majority of ya'll swarm to. yeeeah
-
is 147 close to a 167 goal? I guess goalwise it's to be lean or have muscle mass at 167-170. I don't think the milk is going to help that goal out huh? moderation is fine (that's what, 3-4 cups a day normal?) I've heard that it's a fatty type drink but I figured the increase in milk kind of cancels out the fact I never…
-
yeah, it's 2% milk. A gallon of milk down here rings up anywhere from 6$-8$. I think that's expensive for milk. Yeah, I know 8-9 glasses of milk ain't "moderation" but it is to me. Though I think I get the general idea to cut down on milk. I'm usually a chocolate milk kind of guy but strawberry 1 day every 9 months or…

Posting in here, man, this thread started back in '11. Sup ya'll? what? 21 yeah, still a man! maybe a kid to some of ya'll I'm sure.

^ reminds me of an italian girl I know who didn't know her own language despite being born and raised in Italy (small chance of that huh?) < needs to be studying for French, Sociology, and Math exam that's going on tomorrow \/ hates being on myfitnesspal and lurks the site in jealousy of others
-
hahaha yogurt. I never thought I would be eating yogurt either...I never liked the idea of eating it, looked kind of inconsistant or something. I'll eat one or two every..5 months? what? that's a big change from not eating it at all heh. glad someone posted this on here.

I agree here 100%, it depends on the the condition, and like the quoted person stated, the brain is the least known organ and shouldn't be taken lightly regarding matters of mental illness. Not all mental illnesses deal with "imagination" and some cause actual changes in the body, whether it's pre or post

Took Lexapro back when I was 12-13 years old, never understood why I was taking it, was prescribed it and told to take it without being told why. I was told it was suppose to help with my temper...had em bad, they assumed I was depressed and/or stressed. I've been off of it since I was 14 (I'm 21 now) but man, that side…

I drink my chocolate whey protein after workouts. Blend it with 2% milk, peanut butter, ice, and what I reckon a teaspoon of honey? I'm always down for peanut butter, but it may have defeated your purpose of mixing more things in with your powder without adding too much calories. I reckon you could just mix it with milk.

Started MyFitnessPal in January but didn't take it serious. Just browsed the site and found these forums. I ain't sure how this one goes but I'll bite: Gender: Male Age: 21 Height: 5'10" SW: 155 CW: 149 GW: 165-170 (muscle mass, not the fat eh? Here's something I always say to my friends, "baseball muscles" not "football…

nah man, don't worry about the heart rate monitor during hunting and fishing. I wouldn't want to put time aside to prepare for measuring out or keeping track of fitness while I'm fishing or hunting. I'd think of it as unaccounted burn measurement. You're right though, carrying equipment through woods gets heavy after a…
