Hello! We are out here!!!

I just finished the first 4 weeks and it is definitely doable I have the "recovery" week coming up and then start the final 4 weeks, which I hear are way more intense.

The workouts are very hard- you just have to listen to your body and take breaks when you need to. I just try to push a little harder each time I repeat a workout and it has made a big difference.

Sorry I do not have any pics to post (camera is broken). I also failed to take any measurements on day 1. I did finally think to measure on day 9 and over the course of 19 days I have lost 1 inch from my waist and 1/2 inch from my hips. Lots of people have made comments to me that i look like I have lost weight and I can't believe how much better my clothes are fitting! I have not weighed myself recently so I am not sure how much, if any, weight I have lost- that will be tomorrow at the gym. I will come back and let you know if my weight has changed at all.

I like a challenge and these workouts definitely fit the bill!

Hi Fit- I borrowed P90X from a friend about 6 months ago. I was in between other rotations I had already scheduled, so I only had 4 weeks to play with it. If I remember correctly, I used it the way they lay out the program for Phase 3 in the Classic version. So I used each of the weight workouts twice and cycled through most of the other workouts a couple of times too. I don't know if I could have stuck to a 90 day program with the same 12 workouts... but you never know until you try! I think I might try it some time in the future. I have so many different "plans" already waiting for me to work on. Anyhow, to answer your question, Insanity is the first BB program I am really following.

I have been working out consistenly for about 5 years now (and not so consistently for years before that). I have used combinations of different at-home exercise videos (weights, cardio/step/kickboxing, kettlebells, yoga) as well as following programs from books (NROL, NROL4W, BFL, etc.) and putting together my own programs based on all of the knowledge from the previously mentioned sources. I also like to run outside, perform interval cardio programs on spin bikes/ellipticals/treadmills... the list goes on. I like to keep things fresh and new and I am always "mixing it up."

Well- I hope I didn't ramble on too long! How about you- have you done any other BB programs? What else have you done/are you doing?

Good luck with day 1 of Insanity- dig deep!

Hi- Just wanted to update from my post the other day- I have lost 3 pounds in the first 4 weeks of Insanity. I am not even trying to lose weight, just lose the fat! As long as I can lose inches and the extra padding over my muscles, I will be very happy. I must say that a lot of this has to do with nutrition. Since I started Insanity I have really been watching my eating and have tried hard to avoid junk. I have not really followed the nutrition plan, but I have been eating very clean and I think that is a major key to success with this or any program.

How did your first day go?

Hey ya!
I am sold out for insanity. I just watched the videos for it and read a little about it and was sold out. I am getting it in the mail soon, and will let you know about how my first month goes! I am not really looking to lose weight just some inches, but my great passion is to get healthier again, and tone everything. I have kinda let myself go after coming home from living overseas, and taken on some unwanted weight and lost aaaaa lot of muscle. Stoked to see you girls going insane with this workout, and good luck.

Hi Ladies, I wanted to join in on your thread also. I am in week 4 and while i've only had 2 lb. weight loss I think I'm changing my body fat ratio. I am definitely building muscle. I did notice that I am able to hang in there a lot longer and my form is getting better. I am scheduled to wowy at 8:00 a.m. eastern time and I'm projected to finish INSANITY on Dec. 27. I hope to post before and after pictures once i'm done.

Right on, Trainwise...stick with it, you're gonna LOVE the results you get from this program

Just wondering how everyone is doing?

Hi everyone! OK- I just finished week 5 (Core Cardio & Balance) and here is how it is going:

I am going to be traveling this week for Thanksgiving. Since I am packing for slightly warmer weather than what we have this time of year in Ohio, I was trying on some of my shorts that I wore this summer... and they were too BIG! I could not believe it- I felt I was in pretty good shape for the most part. I knew I had some extra "padding" going on, but it wasn't a huge amount- only about 5-8 pounds heavier than I am now. The shorts I tried on were so big that I could get a few pairs on and off without unbuttoning them. Wow! I was able to fit into a few pairs of shorts and capris from 5 years ago. Now the key will be to keep these results permanently by somehow working Insanity in with other workouts. I should not jump ahead so much as I still have the 4 weeks of MAX workouts ahead of me

I hope everyone had a great week and weekend. Not sure when I will get to check in here since I will be traveling- but I wish you all a very pleasant Thanksgiving. So glad I don't need any equipment for Insanity so it will be easy to do on the road.

Take care!

Hey All! I am still here - things have been insanely busy at work. I already get up at 4:00 a.m. every morning WITHOUT getting a morning workout in - leave at 5:30 and get home about 5:30 every night. Then have to get dinner for my boys ... I know everyone has "challenges" - does anyone have any ideas for me? I have always been a morning workout person when I was working out before - but that was when I had a different job and didn't have to leave as early as I do now. I am so frustrated with myself!

You guys are doing awesome - keep it up! With Thanksgiving this week I should be able to be more consistent - I am a teacher so I will get a few days to gather myself together!

Welcome to all who have joined us - anyone else out there that has started or just starting - hop on board!

Hi Ladies:

I finished my second week of Insanity and I have a question. When you get your flow, do you notice if it affects your workouts? Usually the first two days I'm very fatigued and I get the usual cramps and migraines, so I do not have the energy to work out. Do you still work out, especially with a program like Insanity?

I just want to know what your experience is.

Thanks
Yahaira
