Re: Is anyone else doing INSANITY?
This is my first week. It is crazy. I do what I can also. It's so easy to lose form and injure yourself. I figure the more I do it the better I will eventually get for when I do it over again. Lol.. I am enjoying it but it's definitely tough.

oh yes, it is very easy to injure yourself..
i did notice that from the first week i can push myself to do a little more going into the 3rd week.
i still didn't lose any weight yet though

Re: Is anyone else doing INSANITY?
Did you do the 2nd fit test yet? i bet your numbers improve, mine did a lot! did you take before pics? I only saw differences on me when comparing pics because the changes were subtle. I saw the most change in my upper arms, shoulders, and back.

Re: Is anyone else doing INSANITY?
I did it and really enjoyed it though I didn't see lots of changes. I noticed HUGE improvements on my fit test scores but no scale changes and very subtle body changes....enjoy it though...its definitely a tough and fun program!

Re: Is anyone else doing INSANITY?
I don't think I will lose weight with it. I just want to tone up. In 1 week, I have seen a difference in my arms already.
Dee: how much weight are you looking to lose? WW is a great program to follow also.

i need to lose 10 lbs to get back to my pre pregnancy weight.
but the most important thing is to get rid of my baby belly and i feel that insanity is not helping my abs.. i just don't see it happening

Re: Is anyone else doing INSANITY?
I have been doing it. I notice a big difference in my arms and legs. My problem area which is my belly is going to take much longer. I did the Fit Test and was really proud of my improvement.
THere are certain exercises that he does that I just can't do (The moving push ups is one - my wrists kill me) so I just substitute it with ab exercises.

that is me too.. i can't to those moving pushups either so i always do sit ups instead.
what i do like about insanity is that some of the people can't do it straight through either and they need to stop! makes me feel better

Try doing regular pushups or the irl pushups instead of the moving ones. I did 6 push-up jacks initial fit test, 11 by the 2nd fit test, and 14 by the 3rd. And now I can do moving push-ups. So def replace those with another pushup for now. if you need more ab work do cardio abs an extra couple of times per week.

Re: Is anyone else doing INSANITY?
I have it but havent used it yet.
Do you need a ton of room and a thick mat to do it? I have a small living room so I'm not sure I can do it there. My only other option is my unfinished basement. I would need a mat for the floor. How big of a mat should I get?

i am doing the workout with my DH in a small bedroom.. you don't need much room.. you should be okay.
i hardly ever use my mat, but the ones we have i got at sports authority and they are just a regular exercise /yoga mat. its not big at all so don't go crazy.
good luck!

Re: Is anyone else doing INSANITY?
Take a pic and compare when done. I started week 1 over because I missed 2 workouts. I took a pic today. It will definitely make you stronger. How you lose some weight. Are you eating more? Try to watch the food intake. Everyone I workout I always want to eat more than I was before and you really won't lose weight if your eating more.

i am so mad i didn't take a pic.. i should just do it now .
i took the fit test last night.. it was the 2nd one.. and i improved a lot so i am happy.. it really kicked my butt .
and that is what i am trying to do is to watch my food intake.. i cut out soda finally.. but need to make healthier choices.

i still didn't lose any weight yet though
