My guess is it will count every step the horse takes as one of your steps. So not good. But I'm not sure. This is just a guess. But I love my fitbit. I took it off before horse back riding this summer.

Get a fitbit and let it count your walking for you.

So many typos. I fixed them for you! Now get back to it and fuel your body for this amazing challenge you're taking on for your healthy future!!!

If you are starting out and new to these excercises, then focus on form and not being fast. If your knees or joints hurt or feel strained and you don't have any prior issues, then you are doing the exercise wrong. Land softly. Practice just jumping up and landing softly if you need to. And squats.... Watch your knees. You…

Keep Pressing Play (KPP)

Learn to "Keep Pressing Play" everyday, but remember you should also probably hit Pause and catch your breath when you need a break. The surest way to finish is to keep going, but you can stop and rest at any point. And just in case, you might talk to a doctor. Also, silly poster. You are 18 but accidentally typed 16. I'm…

Wilkommen!

Anything with transfat. I just don't like what it appears to do to your heart so I avoid it whenever possible. Other than that, I'm not planning to never eat anything again. If I want it and I think it's worth it and I can manage the calories, then sign me up. I love different foods too much! I just had a pork filled jelly…

Insanity now... TapoutXT in my future. But I also want to do P90X so not sure which one will be first. Looks just like the fun I've come to hate loving.

Today is the day!! Let's hear how it went. This is my second day of week 2 and I'm addicted!

Thanks for the heads up. I just completed a preorder for mine. Love that it syncs with my phone. Now I don't have to wait until I get home to see if I've earned any exercise calories!!

Here's the good and bad. Good: I can see improvement in body. A bikini doesn't hide anything so keep it up! Bad: bathing suit is still hideous. Lol I'm kidding. It's a personal style and you should wear what you like! Keep it up!

Try LM. BB has a return policy for a reason. If you don't like it, then return it. Decide for yourself, but it sounds like you are ready to mix it up. I've not done either. I'm just on my first round on Insanity.

I would log it as a journey through he11. I grew up in the country and have thrown more of those bales than I care to remember. Few things suck worse than that grueling work with dust and dried grass flying in the air and sticking to your sweaty skin. forget logging it--just survive it. How was it? I do not miss those…

It is hard. But do it at your own pace. Shaun T may do 50 Mummy Kicks and you'll do 20 (at first!!). The main thing is to do the exercises correctly, focus on soft landings and know your own limits. The exercises will remind you of your limits. Take short breaks and go back. You'll get plenty out of it and probably have a…

Mummy? Please. Talk to me about Level X Drills...

I have fairly strong quads, but I definitely felt it in my calves. Also, now that I finally figured out the rhythm of the Heisman and 123, my obliques are a little sore too. Call me crazy, but I LOVE the burn!!

Get a workout mat and focus on soft landing. You should be doing this anyway. Also, pick respectable hours. It might not be a bad idea to stop by and warn your neighbor in advance, find out any scheduling issues you should avoid and give your phone number so they can reach you if it's an issue. I would recommend doing all…

With bacon sprinkles

My own body and a video player. Maybe add a mat.

Thanks

Good idea. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't buy the Deluxe package (didn't even know it existed) so I don't have the insane abs DVD. Where can I find the "10 minute trainer abs" you mentioned? It seems one needs a whole library of DVDs. I'll add more as I go.

You didn't buy it, but you think you earned them sending you a free t-shirt? Now I'm all for sharing videos when it's legal and saving a buck, but I'm not sure you have earned them sending you a free t-shirt. But if you can get them to send you one, then wear it proudly! I'm only on day 3!

Thanks. I'll see how long I can resist searching for the burn...

I'm open to any suggestions from others with experience. For now, I'll give the workout a chance without modification. But th need for burn may change my mind. ;-)

Looks like as you got smaller, baby got younger!!! good work! :-)

I don't have P90X. Insanity is my first venture into exercise DVDs. I chose this over P90X because I have no equipment and no possible way to use any in my tiny apartment. I'm pushing it to do Insanity in my apartment, but I'm determined to make it work along with my regular visits to the gym to meet with my trainer.

There are few exercises I really enjoy the burn from, but abs is one of them. So I basically just find it very satisfying to really work my abs hard. I've always had good success strengthening them when working out. I just sort of missed that feeling from the workout. It's not about belly fat (though I have some!) nor…

I can't believe so many of you think this sounds yummy. If you like it, then be my guest. I'm sure I eat somethings that many people dislike, but this sounds disgusting to me. Sounds like it is high in calories for the nutrient value. Find what works for you and stick to it.
