Still plugging along. I've been following the program exactly since I started (almost done week 2). Looking forward to my fit test on Monday. I also started training for a marathon this week. 5Ks on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday of this week in addition to the Insanity workouts. I've got a long run on Saturday which I need…

Okay, I'm a Xena fan. There, I said it. It feels good to get that out there. A couple of years ago, I watched the entire series in order on Netflix. It was freaking awesome! The most depressing part for me was when Xena and Gabrielle go all Rip van Winkle for a few years. When they wake up Joxer's old and Argo's dead (But…

Here here!:drinker:

@143tobe - Yeah rest day was nice. Although I did the same thing you did and went out for a run (5m). Silly us, right? @Dondre28 - All good if you're doing things a little unorthodox. As long as you're doing it! @StDenis89 - welcome to the group! @mlizzi - good luck with your fit test. Let us know how it goes.…

Alright - check in everyone! I know everyone's at a different level, timing, etc. but I figure it would be good to do a check in at the end of the week (nothing formal). I finished week 1 today. Tough week and I'm glad I get a day of rest tomorrow, but I didn't skip any workouts and powered through each one. I had to stop…

Noonis - definitely go with your HRM results. I use Insanitycalories.com to figure mine out and then create my own exercises on MFP. I find it's pretty similar to the results your getting with your HRM.

I'm so glad that worked out for you. Be careful with high fiber fruit before a lengthy workout too. It can cause some GI distress right in the middle. I do a 1/4 cup of raisins about 30 mins before a workout which gives me about 30g of carbs but keeps the fiber low. But if your body can handle the fiber, go for it!

I sweat a LOT when I run and I had the same problem with bluetooth headphones. I finally got these and I never looked back. They're lightweight connect with no problem to any device, and never breakdown from sweat. And even if they did, a protection plan from best buy means you can replace them for about $16 (which…

@143tobe - You don't need to replete them immediately following. They can (and should) be consumed throughout the day to refill the glycogen tanks. Think about it, if you burn off all those carbs during a workout and you don't replete afterwards through the day, the next day when you go to do your workout, your glycogen…

So I hope I stay this sore. What a great feeling! Day 2 in the drain...52 more workouts to go! @chelsfelt - I totally agree. Sore is a fantastic feeling. @Jessejaeg - You can go to insanitycalories.com and calculate your calories then create a personal workout based on that. @Noonis - Don't hold back! What were your fit…

MLM - Got your FR. For sure if you're looking for accountability. How was your fit test? And how are you feeling after week 1?

So I'm not really sure how it compares, but here's how I did for the first fit test. Switch Kicks - 57 Power Jacks - 41 Power Knees - 65 Power Jumps - 30 Globes - 6 Suicide Jumps - 6 Push up Jacks - 21 Low Plank Obliques - 35 What was your first fit test like?

Hey Matt - That's awesome you're starting round 2. There's another fit test at the beginning right? Let me know how it goes. I got your friend request so if you want to move to a PM, let me know. Everybody - I'll post my fit test results (coming this afternoon) here. If you want to play along (certainly got more responses…

I'm amping up my run training for a marathon this fall starting in a couple weeks. I have zero Nike+ friends (because I don't know anyone who runs). Feel free to send me your username.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I'm no stranger to working out. I started running last year and have a few half marathons behind me. I'm also a regular at the gym for spinning, weights and swimming. I really just want too amp up my routines and Insanity has gotten some really great reviews. 143tobe - I don't mind the…

Bumping this up. Anybody out there want to do this?

So how did everyone do? I ran my half marathon...

First of all, I was born and raised and live with my fiance in South Jersey and I take exception to the idea that we're the South. Ah who am I kidding, it's true... they're all red necks in the Pine Barrens. I met my fiance through my Mom so that was a moot point. But I introduced him to my grandmother at my brother's…

I came out to my mom to stop her from voting for George W. in 2004.

I'm growing my stache for the cause. Feel free to donate: http://us.movember.com/mospace/3173281 I've raised $620 so far. My goal is $1000 this year. It's fun and a good cause. And for reference, Movember and No Shave November are two very different things. :happy:

Spot On!

I'm going to run a half marathon in 2013.

@BetsyThomas - Thanks. I'm always on the lookout for a good fake date (though my boyfriend gets jealous sometimes) :happy:

I just find it hysterical that this has been going on for over a month.

I had gotten to week three before I went on a two week vacation. The thing with running is that you can quickly lose the progress you've made if you don't stick with it. I had a cold when I came back so I didn't start up again this week. I plan to restart the program from Week 1 on Monday of next week. I think the program…
