At that point in the workout, I just thought to myself that I'd do the other side at the end. Little did I know that my heart rate would be in the low four hundreds by that point. Yeah, I think I'll do 30/30 next time, too.

Question:
I've been experiencing nasty soreness in my ankles. I haven't done the program since almost a week ago. I didn't have great ankles from some turned ankles and ligament stuff in high school basketball, but this is soreness I haven't felt before. I've been wearing those Nike Free "barefoot running" type sneakers. Is it the program, or these sneakers, or neither, or both? Anyone experiencing this? It's been a bit troubling.
When I get back home and back into this, I will try different sneakers, like cross trainers, and hope this stops.

I just puked. Seriously.
I am also an idiot. I am on day 3, but for some reason I didnt realize until 15 minutes in that I was doing the Plyo Cardio Circuit again. 15 minutes in, I decided to just keep going. Things actually went pretty well. Did a few more reps than I did yesterday (still <50% near the end). Was shaking and completely gassed.
As soon as I finished, my lady, at the same time, finished making dinner. Took 3 bites of her lasagna, ran into the bathroom and puked it all up.
Feel OK now though.

It is the same as day 2, I think. Plyo Cardio Circuit.

Try some cross trainers, but those Nike Free are the new rage in cardio/plyo type training so I'd be surpised if it was actually your shoes.

My ankles are terrible from basketball and football as well, but I'm not feeling too bad after day 3. Wear Nike Shox.I know on the intro video he specifically says to wear cross-trainers, and not running shoes due to the extra support so I'd switch it up.

Day 3 down.
Not fun at all, but felt it was the "easiest" of the three videos so far. Or my body is just starting to get used to it a little bit maybe. I was sore as hell all day today though (calves, muscles around knee and hamstrings) and didn't think I'd do very well in this video, but once started moving it all loosened up and felt fine. The first couple of days I had that burning sensation in my chest but none of that today.
Checked my weight after the day 3 workout and was up 2 lbs. (hmmm) I started eating some healthy snacks throughout the day and had a protein bar before this workout (which I also have never done) so I'm hoping my body is just adjusting to that change and the metabolism will eventually kick in and wipe all that away.

I'm 99% sure that it's because I hadn't eaten anything for about 8 hours, but my second run through plyo-cardio was several magnitudes more difficult than the 1st time. Lesson learned. :deadbanana:
ETA: Today was the first time I checked my heart rate. I topped out at 176.

I did the first two days barefoot and had some soreness in my feet but not my ankles. I wore my running shoes today and that seemed to clear it up although I'm still a bit sore there.Your feet & ankles are probably not used to doing that sort of thing with no shoes. It's the same feeling I've had the few times I've run on the beach barefoot.

Wow. That's awesome improvement, man. Keep it up!
I have the same Nike Free 5.0's and I had to stop in the second day because they were hurting my feet, particularly around my arches. I don't have cross trainers, so I had to turn to my high top basketball shoes. They are like 3-4 times heavier than my Free's, so it's like I'm doing all to exercises with ankle weights, but my feet don't hurt though. If I were you I would switch to a shoe that offers more support.

Maybe I should. It's strange because I haven't had feet aches. It's my ankles, and it seems like it's towards the sides/back. Both are sore a week later. It's really strange.Now, I do the entirety of the workouts on my toes more or less, because I try not to be stomping around on the floor and pissing off my neighbor below us, so maybe it's just that I am working out my achilles/calves/ankle-support muscles a lot more than I ever have. As long as it's something like this, and just soreness indicating that it's improving my ankles, that's fine. But I'm a little concerned it's the kind of thing that will be a prolonged injury.I still have a few days of rest ahead of me, so I'll see how it shakes out.

Day 4 - Cardio Recovery in the books.
Finally don't feel like killing myself. Still broke a sweat and had a few painful moments but this was a relatively easy day. Almost feel like going out and running but I know that Pure Cardio is tomorrow and I'll end up seriously regretting it if I do.

My switchkick numbers were in that range too but I lost count and guesstimated my total. I also concentrated on form so I was doing it more slowly than I probably should have been - at least after seeing everyone else over 100 reps on this one. My other numbers are in the same ballpark as everyone else.Switch Kicks: 89 (should that number be half?)sqaut jacks: 45power knees: 80power jumps 29globe jumps 7 suicide jumps 14push up jacks 18low plank obliques- 25200 lbs 5'9"my groin hurts like a mother and I pretty much feel like puking and dying, can't wait for tomorrow

I have one that came with my old Timex Iron Man running watch but the battery on the watch is dead so I haven't used it.My resting heart rate is pretty low (~58-65 depending) though so it takes a lot to get it high enough for me to be concerned.

My Day 3 workout was supposed to be yesterday but I just couldn't do it. My back was not dealing well with the soreness and I didn't want to risk an injury. Discretion is the better part of valor and all that.
Feels a lot better today, so I'll be doing Day 3 after work.

Last night the gf was in bed looking at the Insanity website for some reason and she said "Cardio Recovery, 80mins. tomorrow". Didn't seem right to me either, but didn't care enough to question it.

I see where she got it from now. See below link and scroll down to the "10 Insane Workouts" section. #4: Cardo Recovery says (80 minutes)http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_p...:20100309211110

Are Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs supposed to be done back to back, or should you split them up? I'm so smoked after pure cardio that I want to puke and can't imagine that I'll have much left for an ab workout. I'm thinking I'll do pure cardio in the AM and cardio abs in the evening.

I do them back to back, Abs first. I think if you do Abs second, you'll be gassed from the Pure Cardio you won't want to do Abs. Abs is only 16 minutes and most of the time is spent on the floor.Color me crazy but this (Pure Cardio/Abs) is my favorite routine so far. I like the many different moves in Pure Cardio and my Abs need the most help. If I could, I would do this set every day probably.

I just peeked at Day 3's video, the Cardio Power & Resistance. If I don't ever post again, I'll tell Shiny that you guys say Hi.
V pushups? It's possible I can't even get in that position. Dips with a leg up in the air? I guarantee you I can't get in that position. I'm scared, kids.

Really? As I noted above I thought Day 3 was easier than both Day 2 and Day 1 Fit Test.Maybe it's just my body getting used to it a bit.

Gotcha. Yep, not really my favorite as well...especially the globe jump portion. It's sad when you're looking forward to the running in place or dip and kick one leg out sections!

What's on the last 10 minutes of the Day 1 workout? My DVD just quit playing, which was probably one of the top 10 happiest moments of my life.
I figured it was just the 3rd round of basketball drills and stretching so I did that.
I'm glad that I read the posts of people that said they were doing 50%, 30%, etc. of the stuff by the end of the program. That's definitely where I was. At the beginning of the program I was trying to jog when I had to stop doing whatever they were doing, but by the end I was just bending over gasping for breath and cursing whoever started this thread.
Was also nice to see some of the people in the background stopping at various times, too.

I usually open the door from my family room (where I do the workouts) to our screened-in-porch.If my kids were not in the house when I've been doing these workouts my neighbors would clearly hear me shouting obscenities at my TV that would make a sailor blush.And my neighborhood has decent sized lots.

I wish the globe jumps were earlier n the routine, on both this and the fit test. By the time they come around I'm too burned to do more than a couple.

Jumping in tomorrow morning I think. That will be the biggest challenge, getting up early on a consistent basis. That, and all of the bodily asskicking on a daily basis.

Thank you Day 4! (Cardio Recovery)
Nice needed break, although still had a couple of burn sessions on the thighs and hamstrings which I'm sure I'll feel tomorrow every time I arise from the office chair. Pathetic how unflexible I am though.
All I know is tomorrow, Pure Cardio, is most likely gonna make me its female dog.
