It'd be nice to have a little support group! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-started-insanity-today#post-880445 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 15:22:02 +0000 sylvie_b 880445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooooh, my DVDs arrive tomorrow! Maybe we can start a thread for everyone who's doing it? My girlfriends did it before our trip to Miami last year and they looked amaaaazing. I hope we see the same results! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-started-insanity-today#post-880387 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 15:04:21 +0000 MSBartlett 880387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried insanity after a few friends went through it and lost significant amounts of weight. I went through it for about three weeks and found that I gained basically muscle mass, but was not losing any weight, so I ended up stopping. Personally, I like a workout that has more cardio in it then mostly strength training. Even though there are cardio sessions, I didn't enjoy it as much. I am fortunate that I now belong to a gym that offers a lot of great strength straining classes, which I think are harder and pushes me more than an at home program. I am able to do these classes and mix it with cardio and I enjoy my workouts a lot more. I know people have great success on it, I just didn't enjoy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-started-insanity-today#post-880315 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:43:09 +0000 littlek 880315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BelugaBean: I've never tried it. But good luck, I'm sure you will kill it! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-started-insanity-today#post-880282 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:33:35 +0000 BelugaBean 880282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone for the information and the encouragement! I just scanned through the video for tomorrow again and I'm super nervous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-started-insanity-today#post-879844 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 12:37:54 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 879844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it for a while after DD was born. It's TOUGH and I ended up just yelling at him while I was doing it, but it did help get some of the weight off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-started-insanity-today#post-879825 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 12:33:21 +0000 teamjse 879825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: I think throwing up the first time you start Insanity is the norm. Lol. It was really fun until my knees and shins started hurting. My brother that's super fit couldn't even finish it because his foot started hurting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-started-insanity-today#post-879776 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 12:15:24 +0000 kodybear 879776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i got through about 7 weeks of it! it definitely gets easier around the 2nd week! even tho i definitely felt sore every day for awhile, at least i knew that it was doing something (i never got sore with the 30 day shred or anything like that). and i was definitely the lightest i'd been since high school. good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-started-insanity-today#post-879774 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 12:15:04 +0000 BelugaBean 879774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I've heard that it makes you super hungry! I gained weight at first doing the JM workouts so I'm hoping I gained my muscle and now I can start losing weight. I have like 35 that I want to lose but 20 that I need to lose to be in a healthy weight range for my body type and height. So I'm hoping for it to come off more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-started-insanity-today#post-879757 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 12:11:41 +0000 regberadaisy 879757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BelugaBean: wow. I bow down to you. My husband just finished the first 30 days and it's INSANE. I guess the first 30 days is just prep for the last 30 days. Today he starts day 31 and I guess that's when the <i>real</i> workout starts.<br /> He asked if I wanted to join and I just blank stared him. hahaha</p> <p>Be prepared though bc he hasn't lost a pound! But he's gained a lot of muscle mass and he said his core has definitely strengthened. And he swears by shakeology after his workout. His appetite has more than doubled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-started-insanity-today#post-879746 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 12:08:57 +0000 BelugaBean 879746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finished 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30 (almost twice) so I'm hoping I can finish this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-started-insanity-today#post-879743 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 12:08:10 +0000 Turd Ferguson 879743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! I started and got a whopping 9 days into it (I have an impressive history of quitting any and all fitness program I start). The workouts are tough (and long), but surprisingly, I didn't mind them a whole lot.</p> <p>Stick with it!! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-started-insanity-today#post-879714 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 12:03:40 +0000 loveisstrange 879714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried it but it was too much for my heart. The fit test nearly made me vomit, I couldnt get through the 1st workout. lol. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-started-insanity-today#post-879700 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 12:01:28 +0000 BelugaBean 879700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I've been doing various Jillian Michaels DVDs the past few months. I've lost a few pounds and a lot of inches but I wasn't seeing the loss I wanted to. So I decided to try Insanity.</p> <p>I know it was just the fit test today but it wore me out! I'm hoping I don't die tomorrow during an actual workout. I didn't do too bad though with the fit test. On most of them I was at least where the two in the video said they started, most of the time higher. And on one exercise I did better than one of them did which made me feel pretty good!</p> <p>Has anyone finished this? What kind of results did you see? </p>
