Hey all! OK so I only ended up actually wearing both for just a few days because I ultimately decided I liked the UP24 better and took off the shine. Numbers comparison: Day 1: UP24 calories burned total:1924 Shine calories burned total: 2045 UP24 distance: 2.86 miles / 5825 steps Shine distance: 2.1 miles / 5644 steps…

Sorry for the delay! I'll post an update tonight!

I've never used My Tracks but does it take into account elevation/terrain? I know that the MapMyFitness apps account for climb, and going uphill a lot obviously burns extra calories. if My Tracks doesn't take that into account, that might explain some of the difference?

Thanks everyone for the advice!

I hadn't really thought of that actually. I guess my first goal would be to finish but I'd also love to finish in an hour or close to it. Right now I run about a 10 minute mile so I imagine I'd want to work on speed a bit while "training"

Thank you all so much for your suggestions! Just knowing that I have options has re-motivated me to stop complaining about not being able to do Insanity and get back to working out! I'll be getting a few dvds now and a few others when I go home to my parents' since I know they have hand weights I can use. Thanks again!!

I did No More Trouble Zones once or twice but couldn't remember if there was a lot of cardio or not. Do you think I could manage it?

I can do squats and lunges and all that, just not anything that requires me to flex my feet, like running or jumping. I took a Pilates class once and found that I found ways to cheat and didn't really get anything out of it. But, that was a long time ago, so maybe I will give that another shot

I don't have an HRM so I'm kind of guessing and hoping it's about right. I've been using Circuit Training for Plyo and Power Cardio & Resistance, High Impact Aerobics for Pure Cardio, and Low Impact Aerobics for recovery days. I also put in fewer minutes than the length of the DVD to factor in rest times and stretching; so…

Thank you all so much for the support! It really helped motivate my to work hard last night and this morning.

Rye bread, tons of butter, swiss cheese, american cheese, crispy bacon. and a pickle on the side! now I'm very hungry!

Pure cardio is my favorite cause you only do each exercise once!! I would rank from worst to easiest: 1. Plyo 2. Power Cardio & Resistance 3. Pure cardio.

I'm in a small college dorm room and I make it work, it's definitely doable with maybe some small modifications, on things like suicides. Most stuff you do is in place, though, so you should be just fine.

Hi everyone! I'm Jade. I'm 22 years old and I'm from New York. I'm on day 9 of Insanity and I'm loving the structure and the varying workouts. Not loving Power Jumps or V-pushups (which I currently don't have the upper body strength for but hopefully will some day!) I'm glad I found this group because I can always use more…

That's why I have bad posture! Being tall is so awkward!!

Week One Done! Woohoo!!

I just finished it! It's definitely tough but there are no breaks and you never do an exercise more than once (besides the warmup) so it goes pretty quickly! Good luck!!

I did it! I don't have pictures or remember my measurements (it was like 2 years ago), but I ended up with really good abs and arms, and my lower body also got pretty toned too. I would say it's absolutely worth it, especially cause it's only half an hour a day so it's easy to stick to.

haha yeah it was pretty serious. Those squats and lunges are no joke! I definitely couldn't hold them as long as I was supposed to, and the stretching was tough too. But I liked that it was slower and a little more relaxing, even if my legs did feel like jello afterwards! Pure Cardio tonight. I'm hoping it's not as awful…

I did Cardio Power and Resistance for the first time yesterday and thought it was a little easier and a lot more fun than Plyometrics. I can tell already that Plyo days are going to be my least favorite by far. I'm so excited for Cardio Recovery tonight, my body could use a little break!

I'm doing day four tonight. How is everyone else doing?

I'll be doing day 4 tonight. It's SO tough, and my body hurts everywhere, but that's how I know it's working! Feel free to add me as a friend!

I don't have kids so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I think it's fine to teach your kids how to read labels and understand what they're putting in their bodies. It helps them make healthy choices. But, I also think it's important to balance that with making your children aware that counting calories is not the most…

It was TOUGH! I didn't expect the fit test to be so hard. I'm pretty sore today, and very much looking forward to Day 2 tonight!

Holy cow that fit test was hard!! So excited to cross day 1 off!

Just did the fit test. That was HARD!!! Has anyone else started?

I'll be starting Monday also!

I guess I'm being unclear, and I guess that's because I'm unclear! haha. I think what I mean is that I want to lose fat, not that I want to build muscle in the sense that I want to "bulk up," I definitely don't want to do that. I guess what I'm hoping will happen with Insanity is that I'll end up with some muscle…

I'm worried - I just spoke to a friend who said that she can't do the Insanity workout because her house doesn't have enough space. I didn't even consider this. I live in a dorm room and only have about 2.5-4 feet on each side of me when i stand in the middle of the room. Is there ANY way I'll be able to do this?

I'm starting next Monday and I'm excited. How are everyone's results? What's tough about it?
