I'm finding this second month to be harder but I appreciate the change and welcome the challenge. I was starting to get bored with first month by the end. I do not feel as strong through these new workouts yet as in the first month expect I expect to improve as I continue. Any one who is doing insanity for the second time.…

I done do the plyo jumping and instead do the same move without the jump. I list it as low impact aerobics- probably slightly undercounting calories- but that's ok. I figure if I undercount I will likely loose more weight. I do not eat back the majority of the excercise calories. I also do insanity- so the videos are a bit…

Do u mean year counting water weight? Are u just counting water to make sure your getting your 100 oz?

Why are u logging water it has no calories? I know you need 6-8 glasses a day but why log it?

Just finishing core cardio and balance week. About to start month 2 - excited for the prospect

Don't focus on weight as much as on being healthy. It sounds like if you continue in this process as you mentioned you will develop an unhealthy body image and potentially worse- eating disorder. No matter what your weight or positiiin in life you have 2 choices - be happy or unhappy. By being happy or at least satisfied…

Well done on the weight loss. I usually do without plyo (jumps) as it hurts my knees. I'm 230 lb and 5 11. Do you also do without jumping?

Thank you all. Good advice

So based in what your saying if you are 100 lb muscle you can burn 500 extra calories per day- that's pretty good too. Does the muscle retain extra water (fuel) after weight training? The reason I ask is that my goal is to loose weight. I'm focusing more on cardio then ever before but doing some circuit - "cardio like…

I do insanity not t25 but I imagine its similar. I have been logging it as low impact aerobics because when they do plyometrics moves like jump squat I just squat. On the days that I did the jumping I listed it as high impact aerobics. I try not to eat back all or most of my excercise calories to leave a cushion just in…

Thank you. Very good advice

Thank you. My main goal is weight loss and injury prevention. I use Insanity workouts for cardio and alternate push and pull days. Ie chest and back. I try not to go to failure. I do the excercise 10 reps and do a circuit. Say push-up, tri dips, shoulder laterals. Tried some of plyo moves from insanity yet feet hurt.…

Great job - keep up the good work. You inspire us. Thank you for sharing. ????

My focus is not muscle building but aerobic exercise/ cardio to burn fat. The supplemental rubber band and calisthenics I set up to prevent imbalances as I have been prone to imbalances and resulting injuries in the past. Trying to listen to my body and changing it up or just resting when starting to feel overtrained. The…

So each day you do cross fit the exercises are different?

You are inspirational. Keep up the good work. You obviously have a lot of will power and can do anything you set your mind to. You are awesome.

Thank you everyone. Great comments. I will not log those calories. Very useful commentary. I love this forum! ????

It dropped me to 1490 finally when I went in and pressed the activity button from sedentary to light and back to sedentary. In reality I have a standing desk at work and stand for 4-5 hrs a day. I have not logged it in as standing yet recently check how many calories I burn while standing in a calorie calculator and it was…

Thanks. I am starting to feel overtrained. I will vary the push and pull days. The insanity workout does a lot of lower body aerobics circuit. It does vary from day to day yet always lower body. So I assumed I could also do upper body in the same way. I am trying to do more cardio as my strength is not an issue. So even…

I do a upper body circuit 3 sets 10 reps of chest back shoulders bis tris and pullovers with a 50lb and 30 lb exercise band daily. I do this because I find insanity does not hit those body parts well. I list that as calisthenics - vigorous effort. Do you think that's appropriate.

Thank you to everyone for their suggestions. I will log it in. I really need to get get a heart rate monitor as people saying it also calculates for you

Thanks. I will list it as low impact from now on

Thank you that has been very helpful. I will continue the process. Are you hungrier now at the lower calorie counts GenoPrice? Did you list yourself as sedentary or active? Great job to all doing the program and to all loosing weight. Geno 51 lbs is awesome. Keep up the good work.

Yeh knee and back issues so trying to keep it lower impact. Still in a pool of sweat. Weigh 235. I'm writing it in as high impact aerobics into mfp - end up at 750 per hour. Hopefully accurate. Do you think I should log it in as low impact?

Thank you for your comments. I saw on another site that calories generally don't get reduced below 1500 cal for men. I started at 246 lbs and now at 234. Goal is 2 lbs per week. I usually don't eat back all my exercise calories and leave a deficit of calories not consumed just in case some of my food calculations were off.…
