INSANITY - Let's Get Fit!

Hey all! I got my boyfriend committed. To INSANITY that is :p
It's crazy like the name, but really, if you are committed and focused, and tell yourself you're going to do it, you WILL DO IT. The routines are simple, but challenging. They will for sure shaped and strengthen your body.

Now, my longtime CC buddy (MC) and I are going to start INSANITY together. We are not crazy, yet, just want to get back on track and stay fit. I posted the results in my journal (That was before I posted this thread).

We just started Day 1 - Fit Test today. Care to join and keep each other accountable? :)

Kat.

I wanted to get Insanity but it's abit out of my price range- maybe once I get a job so I don't feel bad about spending my parent's money.  Heh.

Good luck, Insanity is awesome.  I am finishing week 4 now, recovery week next, then onto the really hard workouts.

My wife and I are doing it, its intense, but we love it.

Count me in!  I just got my package and am looking at starting the program on Monday.  I will need to make adjustments to the eating plan as I'm allergic to dairy and sensitive to wheat.  The hubby thinks I'm a bit nuts to want to do this program, however I've been looking to take it to the next level.  He's reviewed the program and has commented this is similar to what fitness competitors will do to prep.

So last night I did Day 1 (Plyo/Cardio) and in 41  minutes I burned 268 calories.
(I am only 4'9" so that is good for me :)
It kicked my butt, but I love it.

Hi  joanl21! Why not have hubby join in too? I got my boyfriend started on this one too and he is hooked! There is no sexism in INSANITY! ;)

Cardio Power and Resistance done! :D

(... I hate the Globe Jumps!!! ...)

Started recovery week (thank god), which is week 5.  It has been nice to get a new routine in the mix.

Phase 2 scares me from what I have seen of it.

Phase two is hard.  Very hard. But in a good way.  The first day of phase two I felt like I did the very first day of Insanity.  But now I am almost to the end of the second week and can really feel the improvement.

Hah! Recovery. yeah, right LOL I think it's as hard as the other workouts :) But it's good. A lot of stretching and I really need the training on my upper body (those planks and push ups...)

Got a chance to chat with Shaun this evening. And he admitted that Globe Jump is a B!t$h LOL Coming from the guy who designed the program itself! :D

Hubby has helped fitness competitors train and win.  Which is why he thinks I'm "ïnsane" to do the program as I have no desire to compete just get more fit and hopefully tighter and more defined.  (There's still a bit a of tire aaround the mid-section that I may never lose -  I will thank the kids for that!) At the moment he's recovering from knee surgery, so he's out of the loop althogether! LOL

@joanl21 - so, have you started? How are you doing? Sorry to hear about your husband's knee injury :( I busted mine long time ago, I know what a pain the **** it is. Not mentioning the time it needs to heal!

Hey, tire around the waist? Not that I have kids of my own, but I can attest from friends who are doing their fitness religiously and living a healthy lifestyle who have 2 even 7 kids! If you ever seen Turbo Jam DVD, there is this woman named Tony. I met her during Turbo Fire shooting. She has a wash-board-6-pack-kickass-abs and 7 kids: a set of twin, a single birth, and QUADRUPLETS! I can't imagine how much the tummy got stretched.... And then there is Kristy (met her at the shooting as well). Not as extreme as Tony, and she won Million Dollar Body contest with Beachbody. She is a fit mom. Tons of energy and had drastic transformation.

The way I see it, if you want it, you can get it. When and how you get it depends on how much you want it to happen.

So, let's get on with INSANITY!
