Yeah it's better to do them in the order that they are presented in the calendar. The Fit Test is meant to be a Day 1 workout on its own. Later on in Insanity you'll mix it in with other workouts on the same day (notably Max Interval Circuit in month 2). Cardio Recovery is meant for the 4th day of every week- you'll do it…

Just keep doing them as best you can. You'll master this workout by the last week of the 2nd month! Just finished Insanity today with my final fit test. I beat Tanya on 5 out of the 8 categories! W00t!

Yep and you'll be surprised at how fast you master it. The first week of Month 2 is a huge leap in difficulty both because of the longer sessions and because of the more complex moves. You will be challenged, you'll be taking breaks and you'll be wondering what Month 1 did to prep you. But it's all by design....by the…

I used the "Add Exercise" feature and created a category for each of the Insanity workouts.

Yep, I'm in the middle of Week 8 and all in, Month 2 has been extremely challenging on a physical level. As grouch201 says, the first day of Month 2 is a slap in the face....a fit test and Max Interval Circuit on the same day. MIC on its own is a 57 minute burner of a workout that will challenge you and having a fit test…

jadesign19- by week 4, I could get all the way to the push-up jacks (last exercise) without stopping, but by then my legs were burning and I had to take a short rest. Don't worry about the number of rests/breaks- the workouts aren't necessarily designed with you powering through the whole thing without pausing (just check…

I'm in Recovery Week (Week 5). My weight is flat from the start, but I've lost 1.5 inches off my core areas (chest, stomach, hips). To be fair, I had a 10 day business trip in the middle of the first month that set my diet back a little- even though I didn't miss a workout, I gained 2.5 lbs on the trip from bad…

I lost 18 lbs on my first round of P90X, dropping my body fat from 28.6% to 21%. I really enjoyed the P90X system and didn't miss a workout and stayed on top of the diet (using MFP to track everything). Now I'm just finishing up Week 4 of Insanity. So far I'm even on weight loss but my core area is firmer than it's ever…

I've done a few of the workouts as my double-day cardio routines for P90X (Fire 30, HIIT 15, EZ55). They definitely have a more girly vibe to them than P90X - most of the people in the "class" are women (there are about three token guys out of 30). The routines are very fast paced and aerobic in nature, so people who have…

Congratulations- way to bring it! Just finished Phase 1 of my second round of P90X today. Lost 7.8lbs in a month and dropped 4% body fat!

I am just finishing my third week of my second Round of P90X. The program is intense and as many above have mentioned, requires a good starting fitness threshold. You will push your body hard - both in terms of cardio fitness and strength training. You will exercise 6 days a week. The cardio workouts- PlyoX, KenpoX, Core…

Awesome work! I'm just finishing Week 2 of my second round...4 lbs down, 11 to go!
