Hi to all, i'm Tiago.

About 1 or 2 months ago, i began insanity and did 1 month, the recovery week and 2 weeks of the 2nd month. Unfortunately i got sick, so i never got to finish the 2 remaining weeks. I tried to restart the training, by going straight to the 2nd month, but... due to work issues i skipped more workouts than i should.

So... i decided (after gaining the kgs/lbs i had lost ) that it is time for me to do it again, from the start... and this time keep it going.

My diet (when i was training) consisted of healthy food, but with lots of carbs:

I ate them because i commuted by bycicle to work (36 minutes) and home (44 minutes). When i got home, i would have dinner and then after 2 hours or so i would do the hour long (on the second month) workout.

Since it is the winter, im not riding my bike so... i will have to control my diet and my carbs (no more bread, rice, potatoes, etc...); also, no more dairy.

And thats it, this time i hope i will complete it. When i was doing Insanity for the first time, i remember reading people on the boards saying they got sick or quitted and thinking: "what a bunch of excuse-makers" P. I guess i ate my own words/thoughts .

Well, thats it. Tonight it begins... again.

MissRoo and Tiago,

You can do it. You fell off the horse, you got back up. The main thing is now you are doing it again. Now lets keep it going and do NOT give up. EVER. Come daily to the TBB threads and lets stay motivated. If you have any questions about Insanity, ask away. I have done 2 rounds of Insanity (currently doing TF). Different results each month. Remember nutrition is just as important as working out. Cheers to Monday and pushing play. One step ahead of those who are still sitting, thinking, and dreaming for a healthier, fit, hotter lifestyle.

HI to all!! I also started today... This is my first time ever with Insanity... it was hard! But I'm looking forward to finish the whole round and lose the 35lbs that I need.

DAY 1

Had the fitness test yesterday. It went pretty well, apart from the jumping where i struggled the most. I didnt count the numbers (i didnt first time neither). Even though i am overweight, the fact that i did almost 2 months of insanity and bike riding, has given me a lot of cardio resistance.

It was refreshing to get back at it again, and feeling the abs "pain", knowing they were working during those few exercises.

Again, i know this is dumb but i prefer not to count the number of repetitions i do an exercise. I know i will score more, but i just want to do it for the exercise sake, not trying to prove anything else by it.

Later tonight, will be my day 2, looking forward to it.

Also, my diet as of yesterday consists:


Breakfast:
1 yogurt with cereals

Morning:
1 Banana or apple
Some Walnuts
1 or 2 biscuits gluten and sugar free

Lunch:
2 small grilled turkey breasts with green beans and mushrooms

Afternoon:
Some walnuts and biscuits gluten and sugar free
1 Apple or banana

Dinner:
White meat (chicken, turkey etc... nothing fried) with salad

Middle of the night:
Cottage cheese with slices of ham


I know i may be a little low on calories, but im trying to control the portions etc...

Tell me what you think.

Awesome Tiago!

Something to keep in mind--make sure you are fueling your body with enough food. Your commute to and from work and doing Insanity uses a lot of energy. Your nutrition looks great. Portion control is good, but again, make sure you are fueling your body with enough nutrients and calories. Keep it up on your very own thread. I'll come by when I can to keep you going too!

As for reps, while doing the workouts don't count reps, just go hardcore and push. Counting reps is good for the Fit Test, not necessary for the workouts. I tried. I lost count because I was either gasping for breath, taking breaks, or cursing at the craziness that I never could remember the number I was on. Plus, when the next time rolls around. We won't remember how much we did. Right. Excited for tomorrow!

Coach Solana

New day, new workout. Put the before and yesterday behind. It something we learn from. Way to keep pushing play no matter how difficult it may be.

Hey guys! Lesha here. I started Insanity for the first time on Dec 5. The fit test was more like an UNFIT test! Haha. I haven't worked out in about 1 year. I have done 3 workouts of Insanity if you include the fit test. My eating is right on track, as I know this is 80% of my success. I have about 40 pounds to lose, but my concern is this...During the workouts I have done, there are several exercises that I just simply cant do. I try to modify the best I can and stay moving, but is this really for the fat and out of shape? I dont want to give up, but I wonder if I might be better off with a workout I can actually do adequately versus one I am constantly modifying. has anyone else struggled this way?

Hi Lesha,

Don't worry about it!!! Do your best for forget the rest. Let the video play, and do as much as you can, and feel free to do any modifications. The purpose is to get fit not to get hurt. I am 5'8". I was 211 lbs, when I first did Insanity. I could only do the warmup and stretch of Insanity for the first two weeks. After two rounds of Insanity, my weight down to 173 lbs. After failed the hybrid and gained 5 lbs in Thanksgiving, I decided to do the third round.

Pure Cardio today!!
I still cannot finish pure cardio!! I felt like banana after pure cardio. Could not do any movements in the last 8 minutes because final stretch.

Plyometric Cardio Circuit: power squat kills my butt, and my feet hurt after Plyometric Cardio circuit.
