WOW - fantastic idea - I am planning to start P90X in the New Year (Sunday 30th Dec for me) - I am currently month two of Insanity and will be having a weeks break for Christmas, so would love to join a group.

I've just started month 2 (week 5)... I thought keeping up with Tanya was hard for the first few weeks, but now, I just concentrate on getting through - month 2 is tough but I am told that is when you get the best results :¬D - good luck all. I finish Insanity just before Christmas and will start P90X in the New Year, so…

Thanks - now in recovery week - so far so good, although a couple of forced 'Rest' days... Still 5 weeks to go, then Christmas then P90X! How is the hybrid going?

Thanks for the add... ...yes it does :¬D

It's probably best to Google it!

Thats what I do! (unless its a recovery day and then I add it as just aerobics). Seems to work OK for me....

It is hard on the legs to start with, and you get what you put in... i.e. if its too hard you can stop, catch your breath and rejoin. All you need is a TV, DVD player (for the DVD's) and some space... the rest is motivation!

A new group for Insanity - I have been looking for others starting out. I started on 7th October and have just started week 3 - the first few days were hard work, but it is such a motivational exercise programme that I am loving it. I have just completed the second fit test - much better results. I am not following the…

I started Sunday - so nearly a week down :¬D It's hard to keep up with the others on screen, but I keep pushing... I am loving it at the moment and Plyometric Cardio tonight before my Saturday rest day. Anyone else in week 1/phase 1?

Hybrid is a mixture of Insanity and P90X - google it and there will be different variations. If you've done P90X and are on Insanity at the end of Insanity you can put the two together and follow a Hybrid (using the best of both if you like). I started Insanity last week, and am loving it.

Hi I started Insanity 2 days ago and have been looking for a group - any space left?

I think portion sizes are important... The reason being that often the actual size of a portion is much smaller than we think - take a bowl of cereal, if you actually weigh one portion it is tiny, many people have 2-3 portion plus the added milk for those portions. The problem comes if you record that as 1 portion (not 3)…

I use tzasiki - its delicious and very healthy :-)

I also have bothand am planning to do Insanity in October - to lose some weight and then P90X to tone muscle... I will then probably do a hybrid as has already been mentioned - perhaps start a group when you decide to give each other encouragement - Good luck!

You super star ;-) My 45 mins cycling breaks down as (according to the website): 3 x 7 mins moderate = 247 3 x 7 min light = 194 Total = 441 (not too far off of MFP) I might get a heart rate monitor as will start Insanity soon... But until then just needed a rough there or a outs estimate - thank you!!

I have considered it, but trying not to spend the money - i guess as long as I am not too far out!?

I have just changed to 1900 base and eat back calories from exercise to 2200 sedentary. I am 6ft and 220lbs!

I am currently doing Spartacus and plan to start Insanity in October (have bought it, just got a professional exam to get out he way) - then on to P90x after Christmas! I am planning on using Insanity for cardio to cut some fat, before p90x. If you want to burn fat to for it, however bear in mind that for best results you…

I know the feeling... ... But remember - today is a new day!!!

I have a similar problem, although I can get to sleep quite quickly - just wake up at 0300 hours and then cant sleep - I have to get up a 0600 hours also! Very annoying & tiring!

You should make the most of snacks. - I have 4 snacks a day, am, pm , pre workout (which I have to put in pm) and post workout... It's amazing how it all adds up, BUT I am never hungry and never crave doughnuts and chocolate like a lot of people in the office and it means my lunch and dinner are more balanced as well...…

I would like to know this also - I worked out i needed approx 2800 kcal, but currently have 1850 (an increase of nearly 1000 kcal) - I struggle to see how eating that many more calories would still allow me to loose weight - I am now training 6 times a week anyway...

Anyone?!?!

Well after 2 weeks of not loosing weight I have dropped my intake to 1850kcal, I checked on insanity and that says I should have 2400kcal.... Perhaps I'll try that in October when I start insanity, although I am hitting the 40:40:20 ratio :-)

There are a few methods, Here are a couple; 1. Counting your chews 2. Putting your knife and fork down and not preparing your next mouthful until you have finished your last 3. Putting less food in your mouth 4. Making sure you sit at a table and try to slow down Hope these help - I know there are more and maybe someone…

Anyone have any experience or good knowledge to assist - Please?

Many thanks for this and for the thumbs up on my training and nutrition - I've started to notice the difference :-) I think your suggestion is very good, I am going to try to increase the snacks which will should take me up to 2200, which will be above my base. Thanks everyone for the support, this is such a good website…

Fantastic I love water, cold and filtered - I drink 3-5 litres + per day :¬D

I gues my concern is that my BMR is as follows: Base = 1930 Sedentary = 2241 Light = 2568 Moderate = 2895 - this is what I think I should be eating as I now train 5-6 times a week - but couldn't imagine eat nearly 1000 more calories!!!

I do a similar routine on a cycle machine - keep the resistance mid to high and then - 30 minutes of: 30 seconds moderate/ 30 seconds fast... it certainly gets my heart rate going and I dont get trouble from my shin splints (which was why I stopped running - despite the correct trainers).
