I'm new to this challenge but as challenges go this one sounds good! Bring it on! ;)

Google 'treadmill shredmill' it's a great 45 min workout with various speeds and inclines (mostly fast walking!) it's a good calorie burn and you can always start a little slower than it says. It gives me something set out rather than just 'making it up as I go along'....I'm a gym bunny but still find i burn up a sweat but…

I'm on day 41....I'd make them up on your rest days, so continue your programme but Over next 2 weeks miss your rest day and do the workout you missed. It's hard but insanity isn't easy, good luck, it's worth it

I completed insanity last summer, the body shape changes were amazing and my fitness levels were at they're best. I'm restarting again tommorow. I know it's hard but keep those scales hidden, you'll see the difference in your jeans......believe me! Good luck Add me Tracy

Hi there I love both les mills combat and insanity!!! combat is certainly the easier option (although still hard) its prob a better way to go to start with. Once you feel you can manage combat try insanity but be warned it is very high impact and kills your knees. I have arthritis in both knees and can struggle after…

I log mine as high impact aerobics as I too don't have a heart rate monitor......prefer to under estimate than over !!

Hi, I did insanity last summer and was in the best shape of my life. My fitness levels increased and I was a lot more toned, however after a holiday and ill health that has all gone :-( I plan to start insanity again mon 7th Jan so if anyone wants to start that day with me we can support each other through the sweat and…

If your thinking about doing insanity -DO IT!! I did it in April, its hard, you need determination and will sweat but its soo worth it!! I started it again end Sept but due to hand surgery had to stop but ive been thinking about giving it a go again as the results are amazing. So if you arrange a start date....im with…

hi im also 4 11" and weigh 124lb, im on week 3 of insanity so far i have lost no weight but my body shape is definately changing, people are saying i look slimmer!!! i really wanted to do this to look better and feel more confident wearing a bikini in june and feel im on track. I was monitering my calorie intake before and…

hi im also not soo new on here!! Ive had passed 10 years of loosing/maintaining my weight....im 5ft, 127lb now and live in north east England. Love this website to help me watch what i eat and educate me into what im really eating, love the motivation from friends on here too. Add me!! tracy b

As long as it is just once in a while and u are careful what u eat the rest of the day, its not a problem.....but i do feel guilty when i log it and realise i cant eat for the rest of the day!!!!!!!!!! and i agree order a smaller size :-)

I have much the same problem, think im a carb-a-holic!!!

well done everyone, keep it up :-)

I broke my leg last year and its awful not being able to do the excercise you want to do. I did lots of arm weights, arm bike, sit ups and did do a few boxercise classes with my arms only once i was off crutches!! However when i was on crutches, gym health & saftey meant i wasnt allowed in even just to do upper body…

Ive had lots of sinus problems in the past, best way is head over a bowl of steam and deep breathing (or steam room if u can get to one!) You can add some oils/decongestants to the water too Better than painkillers anyday tracy x
