  • I LOVE Insanity!!! Just started Month 2 and it's even crazier and more intense than the first month - which I didn't think was possible! I've lost a total of 20 pounds (but I lost a few before I started the program), a total of about 5-6 inches all around, and I'm a pant and shirt size smaller. I feel stronger, I have more…
  • Turbo Fire is a BLAST!!! I've done that program, as well as Insanity, BodyCombat and Turbo Jam. The challenge packs are overpriced, in my opinion; I agree with the person who recommended getting supplements elsewhere. Turbo Fire is a great place to start - it's a more advanced cardio workout, so make sure to be careful and…
  • LOVE IT!!!!! I'm on the first week of Month 2 - So far, I've lost quite a few inches and a total of 20 lbs (but I think I lost about 5 before I started the program). The workouts are super intense but they are fun, and the results are definitely worth it. I feel stronger and I have a lot more definition, especially in my…
  • It is my opinion that if you are looking to lose weight, that you should focus on strength training first, but running is a great cardiovascular workout. If you are new to running, my suggestion would be to start with 15 minutes of running at a pace you're comfortable with. Gradually increase your time by 1 minute until…
  • Have you discovered Team Beachbody DVD programs? I discovered them a couple of years ago and I fell in LOVE!! I was running out of motivation, like yourself, and then I found some fun workout DVDs and it got me back into the swing of things. If you enjoy at home DVDs, you should try a program that works for you. Visit…
  • I just started Month 2 this morning! I LOVE it - the results are awesome. It's super intense and you really have to trust your body - go at your own pace and drink water. I drink nearly 35 ounces of water in an hour workout and I STILL feel thirsty. I don' t follow the diet plan - but I do count my calories and make…

  • If you are aiming to lose fat, my suggestion is not to run, but to do circuit training and/or strength work - I know it sounds backwards, but the more muscle you build, the more calories you will burn per hour. If you don't have access to gym equipment, at home workout DVDs like Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 or 30 Day…
  • Good for you for starting your journey here! I am new to this as well - you are not alone!! I am looking to trim up my eating tactics, as I have trouble with sugar intake and constant nibbling (I work night shift - makes my cravings so much worse!!) Feel free to add me as a friend for support - I am an exercise fiend and…
