Week 3 month 1 for me.....

Insanity Friends ~ Another question. This is month 1, week 2 for me and I'm wondering did you all change your MFP goals to increase your activity level when you began Insanity? I still have my activity level set at "light activity" and I think Insanity qualifies as more activity... I'm not sure if it makes a difference if I increase my activity level and MFP gives me more daily calories to eat or if I just leave it as is (1200) and just eat back my exercise calories. Thoughts and/or suggestions?

Week 2, Day 2, pure cardio. I can feel my endurance improving. Very happy with my performance today and I feel great afterwards.

Day 2 of Week 2 today. I am not looking forward to it but I will push play anyway :) I just hope I dont die lol.

lol

wooohoooo!

I am on week two day two myself. I find that workout is easy but its there for your body to recover. I would not skip or do something else in place of this workout. The program was designed with this work out in place and therefore I don't think you will see the proper results. I feel like this work out is good for toning your muscles it’s kind of like yoga in my opinion.

Hope this helps (:

HI, I just finished week one day 5 today. Can i still join the group>?

Week 2, day 2 for me as well. Pure cardio was killer for me today cause I did a 90 minute Bikram yoga class after work with a friend. Got home, let myself rest for about 2 hours and them dragged my sorry ass over for this cardio madness. My legs were like "wtf are you doing?" so I found it harder to push as hard. Still sweated up a storm and got through it though!

I think I like Pure Cardio the best cause the sets don't repeat.

I just went according to the insanity guide and therefore havent changed much in terms of my settings. I just calculated my calories according to the forumula I went of medium active rather than high which gave me around 1650 calories so I aim for around there i'm also trying to stick as close to the recommended 40 40 20 split as possible, still a struggle to keep my carbs and fat down but I'm on week 2 and already see an improvement food wise from week 1. Still struggling to get in enough protein however but ill get there. HTH

Thanks for the info. I just realized yesterday that my net calories are no where close to 1200 so I need to up my intake. My goal today is to revamp my meals/snacks and get in more (healthy) calories. I think for about a week I've only been netting about 800 or 900 calories -- probably the reason I'm not seeing any lose.

Completed my first round of Insanity about three weeks ago... trying to build the motivation & determination to start round 2 : ) Reading about everyone's progress, results, and overall excitement is very encouraging!

Yep that super super low, try the formula and see how you get on with that, if youre worried on bumping it up all the way try bumping it bit by bit and yes I'd say deffo eat more. Let us know how youre getting on!

So glad I came across this group....
Just re-started "Insanity" After a very long break... I'm on day 4 week 1. And all I can say is ouch!
I'm giving myself about 10 months to lose 25-30 lbs I know I got this!!
Feel free to add me! :-)

Week 2, Day 3, Plyometric Cardio Circuit, the big piece of humble pie I had to eat during that workout will affect how many calories I get for the rest of the day. Lol. I found todays workout tuff.......... but.......... I completed it, I am drenched with sweat and I feel great!!!

Week 1 Day 3 for me.. This is my second attempt at starting Insanity. But I'm going to finish it this time! :)

After reading and reading about Insanity (and the fact that my husband has been dabbling with it), I decided to start it today. I did the Plyometric/cardio DVD (essentially the first one on the schedule after the FIT test). It was HARD!! For context, I was doing Jillian MIchael's Body Revolution up until June 30th and have basically exercised once since then and have been eating terribly. I actually had homemade macaroni and cheese for lunch (from a local coffee shop) and about 2 hours later, decided, enough was enough. Needless to say, my first workout was ROUGH. Not 'feeling like I want to vomit' rough, but rough. I had to pause for breath a few times and I increased the last 2 water breaks by an additional 30 seconds, but I am glad I did it. My range of motion definitely started to wane once the basketball drills started, but I remained moving. Either way, my heart rate stayed up, which is what's most important.

Excited to do the next workout tomorow!

I am on week 4 day 4 Cardio Recovery. I love Cardio Recovery.

Keep up the good work!!!

Pure Cardio today!! Uggh I don't know if it was hard or if I took it hard, but I had a horrible time getting through this today. But I did!! Everyone have a great day

week 2 day 4, i wish i realized today was cardio recovery, i wouldnt have procrastinated so long. haha I got a good sweat going but you don't get the big energy boost from this one. I enjoyed it though!

*INSANITY* Cardio Power & Resistance! KICKED MY BUTT!!!!

*that is all*

I am on day 3 week 1 and I love it!

I just started insanity. Week 1 day 1. I all but cried. Looking to join a group for support

Hello Everyone! I am planning on starting Insanity on Monday so I can officially follow the schedule. But my question was how do I record that exercise in my daily diary? When I searched for just insanity it said no results found.

I use a heart rate monitor to record my calories burned
