your body will definitely need the recovery week if you're doing 6 days a week of insanity. I am already quite fit but have had to decrease to 4-5 days a week of insanity because i was getting injuries.

my husband and i do Insanity together and we egg each other on. We too are very busy so unless its the weekend or a day off we get up and do it before work, then you can have a nice refreshing shower, off to work and relax in the evening. I would say it will be harder if you haven't done any sport or exercise for a while…

I went from Shred to insanity, the cardio's much harder but you just have to pace yourself and not try to keep up with the guys on the DVD. Done 6 days so far and loving it but boy is it hard. Makes you feel great afterwards though. Go for it!!!

amazing results!!! :happy:

Hi I did the fit test today and was better than I thought. Looked at the pylometric cardio tomorrow and that scares me. I'm quite fit for my age - 53, but need to lose at least 20 pounds. I weigh 164 pounds and I'm 5 foot 5 inches. I'm trying to do alternate day fasting as well but on my fasting days going to increase from…

thanks Kel, how long did it take you to lose your 25lbs. Weighed in today and nothing lost. I think I need to keep a careful eye on my up days as haven't counted calories and considering doing strict ud and dds instead of just 3 dds.

thanks Kel, I will try and limit it to a 100cal diet bar!

can someone give me some advice, I'm doing 500 /2200 based on the fact that i exercise moderately, but tonight i will do a body attack class and burn about 650 calories, can i replace that 650 with food? I know i'll be ravenous and I've been on a DD today?

try something like jillian michaels 30 day shred to speed weight loss and tone as you go then you might be pleasantly surprised at the toned new you

Hi, I'm just starting. Have done my own thing for past 4 days fasting to get a kick start, one more day then going to do Monday, Wedneday and Fridays fasting and 4 days UDs, I do lots of exercise so don't want to feel weak doing it and feel 3 days will be enough. Need to lose a couple of stone. Love to hear peoples stories…

I'm on day 5 too and am quite fit as i do lots of classes but i have been fasting and really struggled at the beginning of the DVD and warmed up at the end. There are so may reasons why you can have an off day with exercise just put it behind you and do what you can. As Jillian says if you really need to take 5 secs rest…

What an amazing transformation, you must have worked so hard. Did you use a particular plan and did you exercise, what tips can you give?
