Hey guys - just finished up P90X and started Insanity on Sept. 7th.

Still like to hang out here if that's ok.

Loving how Insanity is a different kind of challenge - it kicks butt though!

Be interesting to see everyone's fit test results.

Question: looked through the nutrition guide, but it's not like P90X as far as the phases and portions to eat during each. So what guideline are you guys going to use? Or will you just follow a personalized meal plan program from the fitness tools here?

Ordered my insanity yesterday......no turning back now!!!!

I am planning on using thier meal plan....I havent read it completely, as I dont have the packet, but from what I have heard, its a 5 equal meal plan (same calories each meal), and try to stay as high on Misch's ladder as possible. I think I will probably start with 2000-2500 calories/day, getting as much protein as possible. I will adjust calories based on how my workouts go energy wise.

If I feel like I am getting no strength workout, I might throw in some extra stuff, but wont do that for a while. From what I have read on the boards, you do get a damn good workout.

Allen, so have you started it already???? IF you have, what do you think??? I finish my P90X this week.

When we start, make sure to post fit tests and your goal.....my goal is to be down to 235lbs, that is approximately 14lbs down from where I am now (249lbs). Funny to think I was at 315lbs January 1 of this year. I might still try to keep my pullups going a little, I worked so damn hard to just be able to do one (couldnt do one before P90X), now I am up to 4 unassisted...I know thats pathetic, but its a startemoticon

Welcome Allen!!! We welcome everyone to this thread.. no matter when the start date...
We just need to be there for eachother and push eachother on!!!

I plan to stick to the meal plan that came with it. I'm going to be eating 2500 calories a day... so 500 for each meal. I love the meals that come with the plan.. they are simple and look very tasty emoticon

Can't wait to start... I have my last P90X workout tomorrow, which is Yoga.. then im a graduate emoticon !!!!! can't wait...

I'll post my fit test results for INSANITY once I take it on September 21... im getting so hyped up for it... but im a little scared too emoticon

Hope you don't mind me jumping onboard ur thread KF-

Ordered the insanity materials last SAT (my P90X graduation date). Not sure when they are to arrive but hope this coming week and I will start when I get them. Have been pretty busy with work travel on the west coast this week but ate clean and avoided any working out since graduating from P90X on SAT. Tough to be inactive for 3-4 straight days...I am taking my first Pilates class today while in Olympia WA visiting my sister and her family.

Hello! I ordered my kit the other day and hopefully it will be here by the weekend so I too can start on the 21st! I have been doing hip hop abs and I participate in local 5k races. I'm already on a low fat diet (Jenny Craig) but have hit a wall with the scale. I'm sure it's because of all the running/weights but when I saw the insanity commercials I wanted to jump in too! I'm nervous but in a good way. I hope to get my hubby to join in as well. He's only about 20lbs heavier than when I met him but it would really rip him if he did it. Will post back when I get my box! Woot!emoticon

Was hoping to get started w/ Insanity before today but after a 10 day cross-country work trip, I got back to the office and the client dumped a ton of fun on my lap on MON. Needless to say, I have been working 10-12 hour days this week and still have some lingering jet-lag.....but...

I did do the FIT TEST today and here are my results:

Switch Kicks- 125
Power Jacks- 35
Power Knees- 70 (switched legs at 30 seconds, not sure if this is fair or not)
Power Jumps- 25
Globe Jumps- 10
Suicide Jumps- 10
Push up Jacks- 21
Plank Oblique- 41

After a 10-day hiatus from intense exercise following my P90x graduation (6 SEP 09), this was a short but intense workout. Great warm-up, brief stretch and then right into it. I did not think to pace myself and went a little too hard right out of the gate and think my last few exercises suffered for it (suicides especially), but overall I think it is a good baseline from which I will be able to track my INSANITY journey.

I have plans to play hockey, wakeboard and golf over the next 3 days, so do not expect to actually start Insanity until MON/TUES of next week, so looks like I will be starting with this group right on time.

Good luck on your fit tests!! Post your results and have a great weekend....get ready to bring it next week!!

Hey All!

Mind if I jump on board with you all? I am on the road right now but my fiance said my box arrived yesterday. I will be starting it this weekend. I am looking forward to it, but I am also a little nervous as well.

This is my first beach body work out program so I am glad to know that there is some support.

Any advice?

I'll be starting also on 9/21. I've been down with some severe head aches this week so that shut down my start up. I've got my wife into it as well so we'll both start next week I think.

Hey everyone.

I ordered Insanity today and have been doing BB workouts for a couple years. However, my eating has been on and off so I'm about 30 pounds from my goal weight. BUT I've finally managed to get my eating under control (I've had 3 good weeks in a row which is HUGE for me) so I figured it was time to give Insanity a try. I'm trying to pick a start date. I'm thinking to start the 27th so I can "graduate" on Thanksgiving but since my goal is to get to my goal weight on Christmas I'm also considering waiting so that's my end date, but I'm currently 75% sure I want to start the 27th (and i'm 98% sure my package should be in by then, I usually get my stuff in within 5-7 days).

A little about me: I'm a 20 year old college student and RA (as well as BB coach). I've done P90X, ChaLean Extreme, HHA, and Turbo Jam (I'm also a certified Turbo Kick Instructor). I also have the preview Plyo Cardio workout and have done that a handful of times and have definitely improved with it although it's still very VERY challenging.

Tonda: my measurements are very similar to yours, pretty much the same bust waist and hip measurements ;) I'm also 5'6" and 175 (down from 180)with a goal weight of 145.

And just a fun little note, favorite body part would be my biceps. I'm very proud of them due to CE and P90X!!
