  • Hey, great job, Emily!!! You will find that your endurance and strength will increase as you keep doing this workout. I'm only on week 2, but I see a difference already. I was able to get through the warm-up a lot easier yesterday. It just comes in time. The more you do this workout, the better you'll get and the more…
  • That is wonderful, Nicoletta! I hope you come back to our accountability group here and start crushing it with us. It is very important to watch what you eat. Eating right is about 70% of fat loss and 30% is exercise. So, it doesn't surprise me you have already dropped a couple lbs just by what you are eating. So, keep it…
  • I love hearing your determination and motivation. If I happen to go away I will take my DVD's with me and workout where ever I'm staying. So, if you have a dvd in your room, use it!! I'm glad you feel comfortable here and be accountable when it comes to fitness. I love hearing your enthusiasm about changing your lifestyle…
  • What is your Reason of the Day? Please respond with your reason for getting out of bed and pushing play today. Was it because you wanted to improve your health? Was it because you simply wanted to cross one more day off that calendar? Maybe you just want that T shirt. My reason of the day? Besides the fact that I just want…
  • Welcome to official work out #3. This dvd is a lot of muscle movement and explosive moves. You are introduced to moves like V-Push ups. Do the best that you can! Remember to jump with the lower body - don't hurt your back! Welcome back to one of your favorite moves as well, the power jump. Do your best! Forget the rest !…
  • You look like a hot sweaty mess! That's what I like to see. I know you are pushing through! Those drills are no joke. I'm happy to see you getting through it and staying determined.
  • I just want to thank all of you that joined the group and support others in here! It's wonderful to see you all working toward a similar goal and pushing one another to succeed. I try to give helpful tips and share motivation posts, but you all help me keep going, as well, through the journey! So, for that I thank you!…
  • Hi, kizza8888, I had to smile when you talked about how sore your calves were, because I felt the exact same way after the first couple workouts. :) If you are looking for great results, this program will get you there. You can definitely incorporate other workouts in with it. Some people do a hybrid of P90X w/ Insanity. I…
  • Hey ya'll, quick tip: If you are working out with a Heart Rate Monitor, be sure to subtract how many calories you burn due to your BMR when figuring out how many calories you burned in your work out. For instance - if you do Pure Cardio and Burn 600 calories - in that period of time, your body would be burning calories…
  • As long as it's good nutrition for your body, then it's fine. Now, ice cream or brownies is another story!! And I think we all know to stay away from those foods! An occasional splurge is fine, but not every day. So, eat some fruits, veggies or nuts. You'll be fine. :)
  • You have started a journey that will turn your life around for the better! I love hearing success stories like this. You are a wonderful inspiration to others on here. Thanks for sharing your story and I'd like to hear how your results are at the end of month 2!! Keep up the great work.
  • We are here to help support you if you want to get rolling again with it! There are a lot of people that joined this group and if you just stay focused, you can do it!! Just have to tell yourself how bad you want it. Keep your eyes on the prize.

  • Plyometric Cardio Circuit Here are a couple tips about your workout: 1) If you can find a friend to work out with, do it. This can be a spouse, a brother, a friend, a kid! Even if they just join you once, it will lift your spirits and make you work harder. I know it does for me. It pushes me to work harder when I have a…
  • Nutrition Tip Hey All, I just wanted to share with you 3 food that I add to my diet sometimes that make me feel like a powerhouse on my next day's work out. If you workout in the early a.m. everyday it is super important you get your nutrition right the day prior. You will experience first hand how eating enough, too…
  • Welcome, Sandra!! Have you started the program yet?
  • Great job with the push up jacks!!! You did very well for your fit test! Just think how much stronger and better you'll be with the next fit test!! Awesome job! I'll post on here in a bit on how to post a pic on the board!! Pictures are very inspirational.
  • KJ Brown! You sound like me. I told my hubby last night while I was working out that I love to hate this workout. He looked at me and said, "you just hate it. admit it!" Insanity is just one of those programs that you might dread, but feel like a million bucks when you're done, because you know it's working!! How have your…
  • Hey Valerie!! So glad you joined us!! It'll be a wonderful journey. Water is very important to keep you hydrated and building your muscle mass along with helping you not to be so sore. Looks like we have a lot of people committed and a wonderful support system! The fb page is…

  • Hey, great job keeping up with it! How are you liking it so far? Seen any results so far?
  • You are exactly right. These workouts are no joke and meant to work you to the core! However, once you complete it you feel like a million bucks! You've had some awesome progress with this! WTG!! I don't know anyone who can get through these program w/o taking a break. But progress is key!! Thanks for the motivation!! I'm…
  • Yay! Glad you are here MeganK28!! Can't wait to see what your results will be! Remember, take measurements and do not jump on a scale!! So excited you'll be joining us!!
  • If you're speaking in general, it helps if you google how many calories burned during Insanity and find someone with your same built (height/weight). That will help you determine an average of what you burn.
  • I agree with Brent here. The only way you'll truly know is by getting an hrm; the polar FT4 or 7 (a lot like those 2) or a fitbit zip. That's the only way to truly know how many calories you are burning!
