Insanity Calorie Burns
Does anyone have any idea why my calorie burns are so low for Insanity? I started Month 2 yesterday, and for Max Interval Plyo today burned a measly 350 cals for a nearly hour-long workout!?!? I see other people's calorie burns and they are 2 and 3 times as high as mine. I am not dogging it. I am giving it all I have and…

Cha Lean Extreme
So.,..I bought this program a while back, and then my husband left for deployment in Iraq, and I quickly fell off the exercise wagon. I was wondering if anyone has advice for what weights to start off with. I don't want to go out and blow a bunch of money on the adjustable weights if I am not going to like the program, so…

Bunions?
First off, I thought bunions were just something elderly women got who always had worn high heels. I have NEVER worn high heels, but unfortunately ugh, I have a bunion on my right foot that will definitely need surgery. :sad: There is one starting on my left foot as well. Has anyone had bunion surgery before? I was…

Life After Insanity...?
Hi everyone. I am starting Week 2 of Month 2 of Insanity. Now I'm wondering, what comes next? I hear so much about ChaLean Extreme & Turbo Fire. How do they compare? Or, should I just repeat Insanity? I have seen great results, and I really want to continue to build my cardio. On the other hand, I love strength training…

Insanity Veterans...How long till you didn't feel like a fai
I started Insanity last Monday, so today was Day 7 of working out, if you count the Fit Test. Second try at Cardio Power & Resistance. I felt like I did worse than I did last time! Seemed like I was in Child's Pose for a good portion of the workout. I tried, I really did, but it was just not THERE today. For those of you…

Insanity Question
Week 2 Day 3 says "Cardio Circuit." Does that mean plyometric cardio circuit? None of my dvd's say plain old 'cardio circuit.' Please say it's not plyo; please say it's not plyo....:laugh:

Holey Donuts?
I'm preparing myself for the onslaught of members berating me for asking about processed food, but I was wondering if anyone has tried these, and if they're worth the exorbitant price. I bought VitaTops, and in my opinion they did not live up to the hype. But in the past I would have always chosen a donut over a muffin…

Sore after workout?
If you're super sore the day after a workout, but you only want to take one day off a week, what do you do? Yoga? Walking? I always wondered this with the contestants on the Biggest Loser. They must be DYING the day after that first workout! Just curious....thanks!

Sometimes I wish food didn't make me so darn happy.
I've been pretty strict with myself for the last 2 months. Have had a few bad days, but all in all I'm happy with how I've done. I just think it's funny how I soooo look forward to certain foods I eat each day. Popchips & Trader Joe's 100-cal oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are the highlight of my day, and I know, I know, I…

Why are products marked with wrong weight?
I have always gone by food labels when computing my calories, but just recently got a digital food scale and am increasingly surprised by how many things are marked wrong. It goes without saying that I should go by what the scale says, right?? Sorry for the "stupid" question, but I need a litlle validation. Thanks! :tongue:

Anyone else feel guilty on "rest days?"
I hate days where I am scheduled for rest. I sit around feeling so guilty....I feel like if I have the time to work out, why shouldn't I? Can anyone enlighten me as to how important resting actually is? My workouts are not ultra intense. I run 3.5-4 miles (on treadmill) every other day, and alternate between a light weight…

Trader Joe's
We just got our very first area Trader Joe's. Yay! I went today and was overwhelmed....didn't even know where to start! Does anyone have suggestions for great healthy finds at Trader Joe's? I bought the Better N. Peanut Butter and a guacamole kit. I feel like I'm missing out not knowing what to look for! Thanks in advance!

Chinese Food
My husband really, really wants to go for Chinese food tonight, and it's proving hard to resist. I have lost 12 lbs in 3 weeks and have not "cheated" once. I know I shouldn't look at it as a reward, but I'm going to double my workout today and just go for the darn Chinese. Any suggestions on anything "healthy?" Maybe I…
