I did the fit test today. I was exhausted from a bad night's sleep and felt off so my fit test results weren't great.</p> <p>BUT my measurements were good. Since starting Insanity (it's been almost three months because I've had to take random times off but still), I've lost 9 lb, 1.4% body fat, and about 15 inches. I still have a couple of weeks to go to complete the program and I intend to do the second month again. I wish I could find the sheet where I measured myself in February to update the total inches I've lost with 30DS, Ripped in 30, and Insanity. I'm down 15 lb since April though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-1049342 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 11:12:58 +0000 BelugaBean 1049342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started the first day of the second month (I know, it's taken me much longer to get to this point then it should have). I've started taking what I eat more seriously for about a week now and I've lost 4-5 lb over the past week. That adds up to about 12 lb since April. I know it's taken a while but now I feel like it's starting to fall off faster, plus I was building up lean muscle at the same time as losing fat! I'm over 25% to my goal of 40 lb to lose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-953075 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:36:00 +0000 blackbird 953075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16 days is still good! Keep it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-952994 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:18:15 +0000 BelugaBean 952994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I meant to update this a few days ago!</p> <p>Due to sleep problems with LO and various sicknesses in our house, it's taken me a month to do 16 days of insanity. However, I've seen good results without doing it regularly or eating as well as I should.</p> <p>I've lost 2.4 lb, 0.7% body fat, and 7 inches overall. So I'm happy and I hope to get into it more seriously and lose a lot more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-935412 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 11:25:55 +0000 blackbird 935412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any update on the Insanity business? I'm thinking about adding it to my regimen.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-902553 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 23:09:29 +0000 sylvie_b 902553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! Thank you for starting this thread, lady! I'm finally going to take the fitness test tonight.....wish me luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-893040 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 09:52:43 +0000 BelugaBean 893040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did the Pure Cardio workout for the first time today and almost died! I'm taking my rest day tomorrow instead of Sunday since my MIL will be here. </p> <p>Also, I'm sore and feel more in shape already even though today was only day 5. I've lost like half a pound and half an inch on my waist, although that may be from water weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-885196 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:36:15 +0000 Weagle 885196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following! I'm planning on starting tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-885092 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:00:45 +0000 loveisstrange 885092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I've heard Turbofire (also from Beach Body) is less intense and easier for a beginner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-885076 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:54:37 +0000 artsyfartsy 885076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Well I can barely walk for 5 minutes without getting winded before I started. I really think anyone can start it. The programs not about doing the WHOLE routine nonstop. It's about going 100% on your level, whether that's 1 push up and jumping jack, or 50. As long as you're pushing yourself you will get results, and quickly.</p> <p>The creator of the program actually said himself that he can't get through any of the workouts without stopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-885064 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:47:54 +0000 regberadaisy 885064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: ahha yeah...I def don't think it's for noobs like us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-885046 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:39:59 +0000 MrsBrewer 885046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: @regberadaisy: Omg.....ok I'm definitely not trying it! LOL Because I'm a total beginner. I bet I would just fall on the floor and start crying! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-885036 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:36:17 +0000 regberadaisy 885036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I think the first 30 days are around 45-60 mins? He told me day 31 was 30 minutes of the fitness test then another straight hour of non stop! And they move fast! You might get like 30-60 seconds of a water break every 20 minutes or so. But I've only watched him do it a few times on the weekends. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-885034 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:35:54 +0000 loveisstrange 885034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: YES. I tried to do it and I am fairly out of shape and I couldn't. I thought I would die. Its definitely not something I would recommend to a beginner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-885029 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:34:36 +0000 MrsBrewer 885029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: How long is the work out? It's like an hour isn't it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-885028 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:33:59 +0000 regberadaisy 885028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: From watching my DH do it, I say yes! He's pretty fit, jogs, lifts weights etc. And when he's doing it he is literally <i>pouring</i> sweat. The first 30 days are insane and that's the easy part! He was day 32 yesterday and I've never seen him in so much pain! hahah A lot of people he talks to quit around 45 bc they got too "busy". ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-885020 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:31:40 +0000 MrsBrewer 885020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So tell me more about Insanity! Do you have to be in a somewhat fit shape to get through this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-885000 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:26:58 +0000 regberadaisy 885000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is on day 33 I think and it's a killer! He's actually not losing any weight bc I think he's gaining it all back in muscle. But he doesn't really have fat to begin with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-884993 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:24:42 +0000 artsyfartsy 884993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did insanity for a while and loved it!!<br /> I didn't finish a full circuit but the amount of strength and physical endurance I gained in that short time was out of this world.</p> <p>My husband has done 2 complete circuits and lost 45 pounds. His endurance and strength have tripled. It's an amazing program! Keep up the hard work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-884918 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 06:45:54 +0000 BelugaBean 884918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finished day 3 today. It was pretty hard considering I'm still sore from yesterday but I did it again (almost all of it)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insanity-motivationprogress-thread#post-882564 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:50:46 +0000 BelugaBean 882564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know at least one other person was interested in a thread for those doing Insanity so I thought I'd start one. </p> <p>I finished day 2 today so I'm not too far in. It was definitely super intense but as I told DH, I didn't die and I did almost everything (there were a few moves where I had to take breaks). And I loved how I felt afterward so hopefully I can keep going and see great results! </p>
