Insanity--at what HR have you "recovered"
I am a month into insanity. Loving it. Haven't really lost any weight (haven't been putting in much effort into nutrition) but feel great and it definitely builds your cardio! My heart rate gets up around 180 which normally peaks at the last round of the warm up. I'll hit mid 170s the rest of the workout. I know that he…

How to get full for under 100 calories?
Looking for low calorie (under 100) snack that are filling. So far the only one I have found to keep me from thinking about eating for longer than a hour is a hardboiled egg. Eating like 12 nuts or whatever does not work for me. What do you like?

I previous have run (up to a half marathon) but find the getting in shape portion of running to be way too painful for me. I love the bike cause I can hop on and workout for an hour straight at a good intensity.…

Insanity of JM Shred better for me?
I am debating between these two DVDs. From what I have read on the forum and elsewhere it seems that Shred is effective, but pretty easy. Only bad thing is that is seems you have just 3 unique workouts for 30 days. Insanity seems insanely hard but you get a different workout every day, right? I'm not sure if I am in good…

The old pair of jeans
How many of you have an old pair of jeans that sit in your closest reminding your of your real goal? I know I have a pair that I wore in college and haven't gotten into in maybe 8 years.

New member from NYC
Hello all, My friend turned me onto this site. We have been sharing a google document for the past few months to track each others diet and exercise as a way of motivation. Found out that one of the biggest problems was keeping track of calories. That's how we found this site. I'm 28, medical student, and pretty active.…
