I rested yesterday and did Pure Cardio/Cardio Abs today. I can't believe I've already finished two weeks of this program! Even better, I can already feel a significant difference in my physical fitness level. I have a lot more stamina now than I did 2 weeks ago... I can't wait to see how I'm doing in 2 months!

My work life has been difficult and distracting this week, but I am hanging on and continuing to do my workouts. It's hard to feel spirited and motivated about it, but I'm determined to keep going. Physically, things aren't going that badly. I did power and resistance today, and I still need to do pushups on my knees…

Plyo is still hard for me, but today was significantly better than the last time I did that workout! I also made it through the warmup without feeling particularly tired, so I think my fitness level has already gone up a bit. I do have some calf tightness though—it's not the butt kicks that get me, it's the football…

I, too, have begun Week 2! Congrats to those of you who are seeing such quick results. :) I lost about a pound last week, and that is great by me! For some reason I wasn't feeling super motivated this morning (inertia from rest day, perhaps?) but I still went downstairs and pushed play. I had to take a few breaks during…

I am enjoying my day off! I'm eating just like I did on all the other days this week, and maybe I'll take a nap... But I'm already kind of excited about tomorrow. I have a serious love/hate relationship with these workouts!

I did Pure Cardio today, too. That workout is tough! Don't feel bad, aletadiana—I did knee push-ups instead of push-up jacks, too. I was pretty wiped out by the end and figured it was better to keep strengthening my arms than to end up doing very little with that minute of workout time. I also had to take a couple of short…

I did the recovery workout too! I loved it because the slower pace made me feel like I got to "practice" some things, like making sure my hands are right under my shoulders in plank position, etc. Also those never-ending squats and lunges were challenging but I'm learning to love the burn. My inner masochist is very…

Hey all! I'm a PhD student and I need to lose some dissertation weight and take better care of myself. I started running again and did a little bit of JIllian MIchaels, but once I've decided to do something I tend to push myself as hard as possible. I always want more! Insanity was appealing because it's one of the most…

Today was my third day, too. Yesterday was brutal, but I actually enjoyed myself today. Looking forward to the recovery workout tomorrow, since Pure Cardio is supposed to be extremely tough and I want to be ready!

Day 2 down! It was tough, especially that second circuit, but I'm done and feeling better after a shower and an awesome breakfast! I rested a lot more than I wanted to during the pushups/plank position moves, but there's always next time...

So happy I found this thread! I just started Insanity today, too! Definitely friend me if you want encouragement from a fellow masochist.
