IMPORTANT TIPS!

Nutrition: Be prepared by getting a solid nutrition plan in place prior to starting. You can do this week to week or even plan out your entire month. It plays a key role in the success of this program. If you want to see INSANE results you need to spend some time getting comfortable with your nutrition. Over time you will learn new eating habits that you can carry with you for the rest of your life. Follow the nutrition guide that was provided with your workout routine! If you have questions just reach out I will answer any questions that you might have.

Take Your Before & After Photo's: Make sure you document where you currently are. You will flip out at the end of 60 days when you the results. If you do not do this you will be very angry at yourself at the end of this program!

I have heard it countless times from people that forgot this step! They beat themselves up because they have nothing to compare their progress to! It only takes a few minutes so just do it! There is nothing more motivating than looking at your before and after pics and seeing the transformation! IT IS PRICELESS!

* Take your Measurements
* Take your before & after pictures
* Take the fit test

Pre Workout: Ensure you have enough fuel to get the intensity during your workouts. A pre-workout meal an hour or so before your workout is very important. But make sure not to eat right before you workout. These routines are intense and you could end up loosing it if you workout to soon after eating.

Shakeology is a good way to fill up the tank before a good workout! Added bonus it taste awesome and its good for you!

Early Morning Workouts: If you workout first thing in the morning you might want to skip eating and take a pre-fuel 15 minutes prior to working out. I know many of us have crazy schedules and do not have an hour+ to get a meal in then wait before we workout.

Post Workout: One of the most important part of any exercise routine is a proper recovery. I cannot stress how important it is to add a recovery drink immediately after your workout you will significantly decrease the amount of soreness you will experience while recovering from your workouts. The P90X Recovery Drink is a very good product and I highly recommend it. Shakeology also a great post-workout meal!

You May Be Sore:
Keep in mind the first week is rough! Expect to be sore and tired. Do not give up your body will adapt very quickly and in no time you will start seeing results. You may want to do a few of the workouts prior to starting just to get your body & mind ready.

Accountability:
Lastly post your Accountability Daily. The message boards are a great way to meet others that are going through what you are going through and it helps stay accountable and motivated! Send me a buddy invite so I can reach out to you if you don't show for a few days!

TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS!

Hi Scott,
I would love to join your team for my round of insanity this time. I have started the program a couple times only to get off track during the second month. I look forward to posting about my workouts and my meals. Hopefully accountability to a team will help keep me motivated to make the entire 60 days. I have completed P90X and gained some of that weight back, I am dedicated to loosing it and more this time around. I have already completed the fit test and am on my third day of insanity for the new year. Look forward to getting to know the team mates and working with you during my transformation.

Jerrod.

10 Ways Water Helps You to Lose Weight

1. Water suppresses your appetite. People who drink more water feel hungry less often, as water makes a good appetite suppressant.

2. Water helps to reduce cholesterol. Water has a drastic impact on cholesterol and should help you reduce the levels in your body; it also can lead to weight loss.

3. Water helps to tone muscles. If your muscles are dehydrated, you won't see a lot of toning. Up your intake of water and you'll see a difference, fast!

4. Water is necessary for proper digestion. Your digestive system requires a certain amount of water a day to function, and if you fall short of this, it can make you feel bloated and tired. We recommend 9 glasses of water a day.

5. Water helps liver function. The liver metabolizes fat, which is very important when you are trying to lose weight. However, it requires a lot of water to do this successfully, and if your liver doesn't have enough, it will store the fat.

6. Water helps soothe digestive problems. If you are suffering from digestive troubles, try drinking a few glasses of water. This should help jump-start your system again, as a lack of water can cause the entire process to stop.

7. The right amount of water causes the body to stop retaining water. If you usually don't drink enough, your body will have retained water to make up for it. This water retention can add pounds to your weight, making you feel very bloated.

8. Water stops you confusing hunger and thirst. It can be very easy to think you are hungry when in fact you are just thirsty.

9. Water moisturizes the skin and makes it more radiant and supple. Supermodels are known to drink about 68 ounces of water per day to make sure their skin is hydrated and looks its best.

10. Water washes the toxins out of the body. Water washes out the toxins, making your body cleaner and healthier.

Experts recommend drinking 68 ounces of water a day so do your part an stay hydrated!

Thanks Scott. I just completed the third day of insanity with cardio power and resistance. Man I took two months off from workouts and felt like I never did them before. Today and yesterday kicked my butt. Keeping me motivated is knowing I want to write in the log everyday to share in the pain and loosing.

Jane Man you are going after it! Nice job! So what do you think of COMBAT so far? Glad you will be joining us for another round!

Jerrod It is crazy how fast you lose your performance when you take time off! Even when I step away from Insanity for a couple weeks it treats me like a noob! I love the attitude brother! Keep that up and you are going to kill this round!

Alyssa Great to see you joining the group! The first week is brutal but trust me just keep pressing on and the soreness will fade and your body will adapt really fast to this routine! If you start to struggle just reach out and we are all here for you!

NO EXCUSES TEAM! LEST START STRONG AND STAY STRONG

-Scott

GOOD MORNING TEAM ENGAGE!

Looks like we are off to a good start! Looking forward to more people joining the team so we can keep each other on point for the next 60 to 90 days! As I am still feeling the effects of the flu I will delay my workouts another day! The one year I forgot to get my flu shot and I get pounded by it! If you have not got your flu shot yet GET IT this strain of the flu is really bad and it has taken me out of my routine for over 5 days now!

Many times getting sick will totally derail someones fitness plan and they stop working out and following a good nutrition plan. It is easy to give in and make the excuse that getting sick tanked my goal but the fact of the matter is getting sick is part of life and if you give up that easy you will never reach the goals that have been set. So I take any set back as just a small bump in the road that is really insignificant in my long term health & fitness plan.

Lauri Have a great trip! Will look forward to your return to the team!

TIME TO FOCUS TEAM!

-Scott

Hey, team!!! I'm definitely in for this challenge. I had recently started a yoga program, except I just got Power 90 a little bit ago in the mail, and I'm pretty stoked about it, so I'm going to be starting that on Saturday!

Sam and Laurie, glad to have you guys around, you've been very motivating for me from the past threads!

Hello to all the new people! I'm looking forward to even more inspiration!!

Happy 2013, all!

Hi everyone,

Today I did Combat 30 Live and Core attack. Nutrition was ok. I went a little over on dinner and I am a little mad at myself. I made breakfast for my husband for dinner (waffles and sausage) and I planned on making something for me separately but before I knew it I downed a waffle, and a piece of sausage. I hate when I do that. I am keeping my calories low (1200) so hitting 1500 probably won't do any damage but it makes me mad just the same. Better planning for tomorrow!



I love Combat. I was a little worried that it would be like Turbofire and I wouldn't be able to get through it. I'm finding it challenging but not so hard I can't do it. I have found that after doing Turbofire most other cardo workouts are on the slow side. Turbofire is so fast with no breaks for the most part and with all the pivoting I couldn't get through more than 3 weeks at time before my knee would give out and I'd have to stop. I have gotten through the whole thing but I had to do it in pieces. I like it for variety purposes, I can through a workout here and there and it gives me different options. For this reason I like Combat because its not so fast, they don't pivot as much and I don't have to jump.(at least not so far) I will admit my knee is starting to bother me but the program doesn't seem to be straight cardo so I am hoping I will be able to get through it. We'll see how it goes. So far so good though.

I hope you feel better soon!

Jane
