I finished Insanity on 22nd December. My profile pic is my after stomach pic. I can't work out how to post my before and afters on here! I actually gained 1lb, but lost inches all over. I wasn't looking to lose weight - just tone up - and it worked. I'm having a break and doing other stuff at the moment, but looking…

You are not alone! I finished Insanity on 22nd Dec and was in the best shape of my life. Took a week off working out and decided to not worry about what I ate for 2 weeks. Now I'm 8lb up and the cut stomach of 2 weeks ago (see profile pic!) is a dim and distant memory! I'm back on it properly this week, and hoping most of…

Thank you! :-)

I was doing 5:2 for a year until I started Insanity. I felt that I wouldn't get enough food doing it as I only ate 500 calories (as a woman) and didn't eat back any exercise calories. I may go back to 5:2 when I finish Insanity in a couple of weeks

I've never done Jillian's Body Revolution, but I've nearly finished Insanity. I have lots of Jillian DVDs and think they may seem easy after Insanity, however I also have lots of Bob Harper DVDs and think they will still be a challenge! I'm planning on doing a few weeks of Bob's DVDs before doing another round of Insanity…

Thank you :happy: I really do feel better that I'm not the only one! Looking forward to seeing results in Month 2 - you and me both :drinker:

Thank you for all your help! I noticed this morning that my HRM is not picking up my heartrate when my arms are stretched out either touching the floor or to the sides! Either my arms are too long or it's a battery issue :wink: ! alikonda; I'm 5'8" and weigh 140lb at 43 years old . Thank you for the link - I'll look at it…

I drink loads - a large cup during the workout and I drink loads of water during the day - I always have done! I have sweat pouring off me. By week 4 I could keep up with them on the dvd and managed Pure Cardio with no rests at all. With the others I would literally take 5 seconds maybe once or twice - especially Level 2…

I use cream cheese, either full fat or low fat, whatever your preference, melted in a pan with a dash of milk! It's my cream substitute and I use it with pasta all the time with other things added.

I'm on week 4 of Insanity and have been doing it barefoot. My calves killed me the first week but I've had no other pain in my feet or anywhere else.

I'm on week 4 of Insanity and haven't worn shoes at all! I have had no issues - I do it on laminate floor!

Yes - it's fine! If it ever lost it's waterproof I would get a tin of waterproofing spray, but never needed to!

I wash my waterproof jacket fairly often as I cycle all the time and it gets mud splattered all over it. I always wash it inside out, on it's own with a little bit of powder and never had a problem.

You are inspirational! I am on week 4 of Insanity, and like you, want to tone up my tummy area. I don't want to lose any more weight, I just want to see my abs!

This is exactly how I started two and half years ago. I started with 30 day shred, then got more Jillian DVDs, then moved onto Jackie Warner, then Bob Harper. I have 19 DVDs by these 3! I'm now doing Insanity! If you'd told me 3 years ago that I was working out 6 days a week, first thing in the morning I'd have laughed at…

I also started Oct 21st. Fit test results are: Switch kicks. 60 Power jacks. 53 Power knees 91 Power jumps. 47 Globe jumps. 10 Suicide jumps. 22 Push-up jacks 31 Low plank oblique. 74 I'm so excited to see results and what the next fit test reveals. I don't really want to lose weight just get fitter and get rid of the…

I agree with this - I started with Jillian, then Jackie Warner, then moved onto Bob Harper - who I think is great. I still do Jillian or Jackie workouts a couple of times a week when short on time, but Bob really works me hard :-) I've just started lifting and my partner, who's lifted for years, was shocked how strong I am…

My doctor told me the same and as I have lost all the weight I wanted to, and am now at maintenance, I tend to agree. She said "if you don't put it in your mouth it won't make you fat!"

^^This. I've been doing early morning workouts for 2 years, 6 days a week. You get to the point you're dressed and doing the warm-up before you really wake up and by then you're doing it! I love it and wouldn't/couldn't have it any other way!!
