  • The best way to do it is with a Heart Rate Monitor that you can wear during your workout. I haven't invested in one yet, but I really want to. Right now, I've just googled what people typically burn through insanity and I'm estimating based on that.
  • Poma91- Absolutely you can join! Glad to have you :)
  • I'm not doing the Insanity diet plan. I'm just continuing to maintain my usual calorie counting, but trying to up my protein intake and being sure I plam my meals around when I'm working out... so I don't end up week or hungry in the middle of a workout. I'm glad you're joining us and starting Insanity this month! Get…
  • You also might want to double-check your settings for your daily activity level. It will lower the number of calories you're supposed to intake if you've told it you have a pretty sedentary lifestyle. The more calories you burn day-to-day, the more it will say you need to intake. (And I feel you... my goal is 1220. But…
  • Hi, I'm 26 and always looking for new friends... we can encourage and help keep each other accountable. Sorry that life has thrown you so many curveballs recently. I definitely understand what that's like, but it's great that you're still pushing through!

  • I used to have same problem, of my toes going numb when I was running and even sometimes on an elliptical. I assumed it was my shoes, which were cheap and ill-fitting. I put off buying good shoes for a long time because money was tight, but I actually just invested in good shoes this past week because I have a 5K coming up…
  • I just added you! I'm 26 and have been on My Fitness Pal for maybe a year, but only been active on the boards for a few months. Having friends on the same path definitely helps me stay motivated!
  • Anyone still looking for new friends? I'm 26 and live in Massachusetts. I've been working on getting in shape, eating right, and exercising more for about the last 6-8 months. I was doing really well for a while with sticking to my routine, but the summer has been tough to stay on course. I'm planning to start the Insanity…
  • I just got the Insanity workout, and I'm both a little intimidated and SUPER excited to get started! I'm planning to begin next week, once I get back from a family vacation, and would love to find friends who are also doing Insanity/have done it before. Anyone else doing this crazy thing? :) Add me!
