I'm starting also! I only am going to weigh once a month but I will definitely check in with progress! Add me if you'd like. I've tried this before but with no support or motivation I quit after 3 days (it's really hard, mostly stamina wise). Good luck ladies!!

Great!!!!

Thank you for joining me ladies!!!! I am really excited.. It is my first time doing it but we all got to push it through!!! Is it going to be easy? Probably NO... Lol, but I was told once that " whatever you can do 5 of...you can do 5 more" and so on.. So if it is about stamina then we have to change the mentality to " I can do 5 more, I can do 10 more etc...". Is all how much we want it!!!

Hope this time you stick with it t3441823angel... We will support one another

Natpack19 have you done INSANITY before?

I will do my workout at night since I have to be out the whole today. But as soon as I'm done I will share with you my agony..lol
And if you do it earlier, please come back to this post and let us know how you did.


To start my stats are as follows

Starting Weight - 196.8
My goal Weight is 185
Waist. 39
Hips 45

We can do this!!!!!!!

I'd love to join you peeps! I just started it today (did the "Fit Test") and I managed to drag my coworker into it so we now have insanity lunch breaks. It pretty much sounded like a heard of rhinos that couldn't stop gasping between giggles! I assumed the 8 exercises would take about 15 minutes with a minute in between, but by the time we peeled ourselves off the floor a half hour had gone by and both of us were drenched in sweat. I'm not going to lie, but if the fit test was that hard, my body wants to cry at the idea of subjecting myself to 45 minutes of OMG Insanity.

My starting stats are:
Weight 163lbs
Fat % 33.1
Waist 29"
Hips 39"

I'm trying not to get myself worked up over the weight number because I've heard you tend to gain in the first couple of weeks and especially because my body packs on muscles like it's nobody's business, so I imagine that number will only budge in the upward direction if at all. But what matters is the size of clothes I'm wearing and how I feel :D

Did anyone else do the fit test? My results were:

Switch Kicks: 36
Power Jacks: 40
Power Knees: 71
Power Jumps: 25
Globe Jumps: 10
Suicide Jumps: 11
Push-Up Jacks: 13
Low Plank Oblique: 52

I have no clue if those are good numbers, but I can definitely say that I was struggling hard core through the last 20-30 seconds of each exercise. How'd everyone's first day go?? Anyone feeling it already? I've got it in my back :-/

I just started today also :D My fitness test went horribly though because i'm not an exercise person at all x.x Had to stop during each exercise because i would get dizzy and see spots.

Switch Kicks: 31
Power Jacks: 19
Power Knees: 46
Power Jumps: 13
Globe Jumps: 3
Suicide Jumps: 7
Push-Up Jacks: 5
Low Plank Oblique: 16

Hello everyone!!!!

My FiT test was a challenge!!! Oh my God!!!! I thought I was going to faint!!! Seriously!!!!! This is no joke...I was not able to do much!!!! But this was just a test... I know next FIT test I will do better,

So, here are my numbers:

Switch kicks. 10
Power Jacks 20
Power knees (my favorites) 50
Power jumps 10
Globe jumps 2
Suicide jump 1
Push up jacks 2
Low plank obliques 20

The jumps for me were kind of hard cuz I have a knee problem. So I tried to take it slow in that area...
This FIT test was insane, I can just imagine today's workout, lord have mercy!!!

Ok, ladies, let's go after our goals, let's push PLAY!!!!!

Good luck everyone!

I do mine over lunch also in our exercise room at work -- I am sure the people coming in and our hear my cussing - lol. I wear my headphone so I have music to keep me moving so I don't really listen to the video. Getting ready for Cardio Power & Resistance in a few minutes!
July 31, 2012 10:02
I totally want to do it, but what is INSANITY, and where do I find it?
July 31, 2012 10:53
Forgot to post my fit test results yesterday for insanity so here they are:
Switch kicks 90
Power jacks 33
Power knees 67
Power jumps 30
Globe jumps 11
Suicide jump 13
Push up jacks 16
Low plank oblique 30
Hope everyone else who's doing insanity sticks with it and DRINK WATERRR!
July 31, 2012 11:32
So I don't really have a choice about taking off the day from insanity since I'm literally driving on the road from 2am until I get home at nine tonight, but I'm starting to think that's okay because every part of my body is killing me just from the fit test yesterday! And I do mean EVERY part. It's like I was run over by ten semis and left for dead. Tomorrow my coworker and I are back on track though and as sore as we are we're suicidally pumped about giving it our best. How's everyone else feeling after the fit test?
