If you're only eating 1200 calories that could be part of the reason you are not losing weight. The guide suggests more calories for you because that's what you need to do Insanity. If you're not eating enough calories your body will go into starvation mode and not lose the weight. I've read of several other posters who…

Completed cardio recovery. Still struggling with holding the positions for so long and having troubles telling if I'm improving. My legs we're pretty tired today though (I have been running on my lunch breaks so I think this is part of the reason). When I'm done work tonight I might do a few of the move again just to see…

Lol, oh good so it's not just in my mind!

I'm new to Insanity (trying to lose the baby weight). Insanity was the first program I heard about from Beachbody so I bought it. I'm on day 10. In terms of wether you can do it, it is more mental than physical. Yes, it is very physical and you will have moments in the videos when you just stop when you see the next move…

Completed day 10, was able to push harder and dig deeper. Sort of getting better at Level 1 drills, lol. Random question for everyone, do you feel taller? Since starting Insanity I've felt taller, maybe its from the strength building and carrying myself better. Looking forward to recovery tomorrow!

Hi, I'm 30 years old and mother to an eight month old boy. I'm married and work full time as a Program Analyst (I came back to work early for a new career opportunity). I have been active most of life and started running when I was 20. Originally that worked to keep the weight off and I could eat most anything I wanted.…

Completed day 9 this morning. I think I got about an 8 for effort, I lacked energy today, and while I kept pushing myself to keep going I just didn't have the energy this morning to do what I wanted. I'm a little nervous about the cardio abs, mainly because I workout in the morning before work and I'll have to make sure I…

I'm currently on day 8 of the Insanity Challenge. I started seeing results right away. I can post them here when the time comes. It's definitely a great challenge and works if you only have 45 minutes a day to exercise. If not the T25 sounds good, I haven't tried it yet but I've heard great reviews.

My son is eight months old and I started back to work when he was 7 months. When I was home full time I always made sure that I would get 60 minutes in on the treadmill, while he was sleeping (or I took him for a walk outside which I would time perfectly with his nap). Sometimes this meant I would have to get on the…

I also find myself feeling like I could have pushed harder. Sometimes I struggle with getting up in the morning and pushing play that I don't put in the effort I should. For example, on day 8 I think I did a 7-8 (out of 10) effort. I've decided to keep myself accountable I will post on here what level of effort I think I…

I do the exact same thing. Eat half my greek yogurt/granola and berries before I run and then I eat the rest when I get back. It seems to work really well.

I haven't done Insanity before but I was walking and doing stairs at work on my coffee breaks and lunch break (1 hour in total). Yesterday I started running because it's getting nicer outside. I don't think you need to do extra workouts but since I created the habit I didn't want to lose it and it beats sitting at my desk…

Switch Kicks: 54 Power Jacks: 30 Power knees: 65 Power Jumps: 33 Globe Jumps: 6 Suicide Jumps: 7 Push-up Jacks: 0 Low Plank Oblique: 25

I'm at work and don't have my results on me. I'll post them tomorrow. I completed the fit test yesterday and today I did the first workout. I got up at 5:30 a.m. to do it. I'm quite happy with myself, that I was able to get up that early and that I did the whole first workout. But I need to push myself harder, I also need…

For people who have done the workout before, is there anyway to modify the exercises or do a slower version? I'm planning on giving it my all but if it's too much I don't want to quit or be discouraged. I was hoping that I could just keep pushing through the workout as best I can and that might require me to modify the…

My name is Megan and I just ordered Insanity and hope it gets here in time to start with everyone. I'm very excited to start this challenge. Also excited to be able to do this with a group of people to get inspiration from!! Good luck everyone!

So far I have been eating the calories back, while exercising 5-6 days a week. I've had a couple days though where I'm not hungry and didn't eat the calories. I appreciate all the feedback. The forums are definitely helpful!

Thanks everyone! Very helpful info :)
