adding sit ups on app
I started using the app for my phone this weekend and love it! I am trying to record my situps for my exercise diary and it asks for ses, reps per set and weight. I am not using any weight just old fahioned feet propped on the couch crunches/ sit ups. If I put 0 for the weight it does not record any calories lost even with…

How long after quitting smoking will exercising get easier?
I am posting for my sister who is not on MFP. She has recently quit smoking, a week now. She has been working out reguarly for almost a year now, even finished Insanity as a smoker. She has tried to replace smoking with extra exercise, walking miles and even starting to jog. She wonders how long it will take to breath like…

Maintaining results after Insanity- T25?
I am 3 days away from finishing Insanity. I love what it has done to my body! I am looking ahead though. I have already completed Max:30 and will eventually go back to that. I am a teacher, so for now the extended month 2 workouts of Insanity have been possible, but not possible once school starts. I was getting up at 4am…

Nutrition after I finish insanity
This is my second time doing Insanity. A couple of years ago when I did it I didn't follow the nutrition plan. I had great results but decided to go with the 40/40/20 protein/carbs/fat thing and feel like so far my results are even better. I've not lost a lot but at the end of month one my body has changed so greatly and I…

24 or 36 inch foam roller?
I have just discovered the benefits of foam rolling and would love to give it a try. I have decided upon the j/fit High Density EVA roller from Amazon in blue, but am not sure which size. I would like to do full body rolling and wonder which size is best for me. I am 5'3 and husband is 5'10 and would like to share. Some…

SAD and HappyLite
If you are reading this, you may be experiencing the "winter blues" like I am. While I not trying to make excuses for myself, I know precisely why I have gained 25 pounds since October. I eat junk (and a lot of it and don't exercise like I should!) However, I feel like my terrible moods and lack of energy must be related…

Insanity 4 days a week? & weekends, ugh!
My husband and I started Insanity 4 weeks ago, but are only doing it 4 days a week. I still either do elliptical or walk 5 days a week on top of that. We just follow the order on the calendar and really have been able to tell a difference. Our bodies are becoming more toned. We just cant seem to make ourselves do the…

Insanity Exhaustion! Month 2
Today I wil start week 3 of month 2 of Insanity. During month 1 I hated the workouts, but loved the results so that kept me motivated to keep going. Now that I am in month 2 I just feel drained all the time! I have been doing M-F with picking a day that I can do two videos in that day in order to complete by the weekend…

Insanity Month 2 Week 1 + TOM= Up 8 Pounds!
I started month 2 of insanity this week and since Monday have went up 8 pounds! I am also experiencing the most dreaded time of the month! I am so frustrated! I know its only water for the most part. I have done well staying within my calorie range and have burned tons of calories working out! At the beginning of the week…

30DS Question
I started the 30DS yesterday. I completed Insanity July1 and am looking to take a rest before starting back again. I LOVE the results I got from it, but thought that 30DS may be enough to keep me going until Im ready to start killing myself again! Unlike Insanity, where I had a calendar to follow, this only has 3 levels.…

Down ten pounds, clothes still tight! UGH!
My clothes must have had some serious stretch because even after losing ten pounds, my clothes still dont fit much better. I have lost inches. I am drinking tons of water and still feel bloated alot of the time. I watch my sodium and usually do pretty good with that. I only have a 20 minute lunch (I have to eat with the…

Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning
I started month 2 of Insanity yesterday and tomorrow am scheduled to do max cardio conditioning. How long is it? It shows it together with cardio abs to be 65 minutes, but tomorrow I dont do the ab workout. I was terrified of starting month 2, but so far do not feel too bad. My knees are hurting some. I feel a lot like I…

Polar FT4 "Not in Zone" during Insanity (Again)
I started Insanity a couple of weeks ago and finally last week got a Polar FT4. I know that Insanity is interval training so its not going to be like a workout on a treadmill. My "Not in Zone" alarm goes off through most of the workout because I am above my target heart rate. There is no way I can keep up with the…

Polar FT4 (Not in Range) and Insanity

Insanjty pure cardio time
We started Insanity last week, having to do it when our schedule allows. Tomorrow we are ready for Pure Cardio. The calendar does not say Cardio Abs. Do we just do the pure cardio part, is it seperate on the DVD? It says 55 min, is that both? If not I need to know how long pure cardio is since I plan to do it in the AM…

Polar FT4 Bronze-Opinions
I just started doing Insanity this week and would really like to have an accurate reading of calories burned so I am going to buy a heart rate monitor. After reading lots of reviews I know that Polar is the brand I will buy. I have found some reasonable prices on an FT4 womens but the only color for womens that I find are…

Insanity Day 2 (& I thought I was in shape!)
I started Insanity yesterday with my husband and 2 teenage kids. I have lost 16 pounds since and have been working out a ton on the elliptical and walking (usually about 1-1.5 hours or more 6 days a week). I really thought that I was getting into decent shape until Insanity! OMG! This morning I did day 2 (plyometric cardio…

Ordering Insanity Soon
After all of the great replies I received trying to decide between P90X and Insanity, I have chosen to order Insanity. BTW, I received several emails from Coaches and appreciate your input, its nice to hear from those who have done the program. I actually found it on ebay for $50 and am glad I didnt jump on it, the post…

Insanity or P90X?
I am trying to figure out which of these programs to buy and hoped I could get some help. I would like to get something that both my husband and I could do as well as both of my teenage children. We are all in average shape. Going to the gym is not an option for us because of where we live. I have been doing a lot of…

Ho much green tea?
I have read that green tea is great for the metabolism. My question is how much does it take to really do any good? Is one cup a day enough to boost metabolism or should I drink more. I am trying to get in as much water as possible to combat the sodium that is in EVERYTHING and dont want to take away from that. I try to…

over on calories one day, stay under the next?
I, like many, do great during the week, then fall apart on the weekend! Saturday, I went over on my calories by about 1000, YIKES! Has anyone had any luck with making up for that by staying under the calories the day after they "cheated". I worked out extra today but want to undo my indulgence from yesterday. I was down to…

Water and boating
I have been trying to drink tons of water to flush out the sodium and extra calories I ate this past weekend while celebrating my daughter's birthay! I was wondering if anyone else felt bloated after eating like I do? I wonder if I am just too full of water and the food on top of that is making me feel like I ate a…

Polar FT4 or FT7
I was looking at Footlocker and they have the FT4 for 89.95 and the FT7 is 109.95. Could anyone give me a reason why I should spend the extra to get the FT7? The FT4 is pink and looks cuter than the FT7! Can I wear this all day to track calories burned or should I just use for workouts? What about battery life? Any…
