I'm burning slightly less, I'm into day 3 of the recovery work. Normally burning between 360-395 per workout in month 1. So far I've been consistently burning around 307 (306 and 308). It burns for part of the workouts and you do hit high heart rates in places but not with the intensity of month 1.

Checking in again, day 2 of recovery week today. Be interesting to see how I feel at the end of the week having done the same track every day! How's everyone else getting on? x

Halfway through week 4 :)

I'm on recovery day of week 4 now and that's soon gone. I went up 3lb overall during the first 2 weeks and as of yesterday morning I'm 2lb down on my starting weight. Measuring day on Satruday so we'll see what happens then. Second fit test results were way up on first one so that's good. I'm starting to feel very very…

It can quickly progress into the cycle of feel bad-> eat -> feel bad for eating -> eat more so you'll want to break out of that as much as you can. I suffer really badly with emotional eating (something I can control) because of severe fluctuations in my mood (out of my control currently due to medical reasons). I find…

bump for reference

First round of insanity for me so 6 days a week plus an extra class one day per week. Feel free to add :) Used to do a lot of pump but want to drop the body fat so going hard and digging deep!

My calves hurt like hell for the first 2 weeks, after that fingers crossed they haven't hurt since. Try and keep stretching them out, he doesn't always stretch them in the dvds, try doing it in the shower after you finish or go for a walk afterwards

Well I had my weigh in yesterday and I'm now down a whole pound compared to when I first started so hopefully this is the beginning. I was advised to eat 2100 according to what they were recommending which was a total shock compared to the ~1300 I was aiming for before that. I'm aiming for around 1600 net at the minute…

Know how you feel, just entering week 3 and I've actually gone up by 2lb and can't see a reduction in inches anywhere. I'm actually eating less than the program recommends because I physically can't eat as much food as it wants me to. Hoping it'll make a difference soon, some people said week 3 is when they actually…

I have shock absorber bras and I find them really good, they do a range of support levels from 1 (low impact) to 4 (high impact/big busted ladies). There are a range of styles so worth a go. Definitely hold these puppies in!

My turn to check in, recovery session number 2 is now done. Yes I take a recovery drink (3:1 carbs to protein) and I haven't suffered from DOMS apart from in my calf muscles which has been an absolute godsend, helps me keep digging deep. Hope everyone had a good day :) x

Just finished today's workout and fairly knackered was Pure Cardio (I'm on first round, week 2 day 2). Keep it up, feel free to add if you need encouragement :)

I've had to cheat somewhat - I put it under Aerobics(high impact) but by using a heart rate monitor just adjusting the minutes until it matches the calories burned (I've had to calculate this very roughly as I just have a simple HRM, didn't occur to me when I bought it some months ago that there were ones that did this for…

Hello there! I started my first ever round a week ago today, struggling a little bit to eat the food that it's asking (2100 cal) when before I was on 1300 a day, bit of a shock. Currently managing around 1700-1800 so hoping that's enough, seem to have enough energy to go through the workouts just going to give it to the…
