eh, I don't want to buy any equipment. if I want to lift, I go to the gym. that's what I like about the Insanity thing, I can just do it at home in the living room. plus, my wife want to try it out too.

started a day later then planned (this morning). Burning lungs were at the top of my list. Fit test really didn't touch upper body much, can feel a little tiredness in my lower body. Should be nice and sore for tomorrow's 6am wakeup call.
As a related aside, reevaluating my eating routine is going to be interesting. Just not used to eating throughout the day. Thought, it kind of feels like a treat to do so.
So far:
1. Yogurt, granola and fruit.
2. Half of a multigrain bagel with a little lox spread
3. Will be other half of bagel
4. Grilled chicken breast or steak with grilled zuchs
5. 3-4 beers (I have to hit my 400 calories so and I won't be hungry at that point)

You gonna start back at Day 1 or just start up again where you left off?Glad to see folks sticking with thisAfter a week long business trip involving eating, drinking, and little working out, I'm diving back in head-first starting this weekend. I won't stop until I look like my hero, Shaun T.

OK so I skipped Cardio Recovery yesterday and instead of doing it today I went back to the Plyometric Cardio Circuit, the first real workout.
THe six day per week schedule just isn't going to work for me. My proclivity for golf, beer, and general merriment will not allow it. I'd go mornings, but my sleep schedule, or lack thereof, is way too erratic. I almost did the Recovery last night at 3AM because I was so wide awake. If my downstairs neighbor didn't have kids, I would have done it.
Anyway, I'm gonna be jumping around a bit, but doing at least 4 days per week.
Very little soreness at this point.

To be honest I didn't think it was that useful. The lunge/squat pulses were worthwhile to me, but just about everything else was boring and I didn't get much out of it. I think the point is mainly to rest muscles but do at least a little something to get them loosened up. I think golf would qualify (not sure about general merriment). Next week, I think I'm just taking it as another day off and swimming/golfing/etc -- anything but watching a DVD another day per week. Still 5 days/week of intense workouts. Mentally, it will help to get me through 60 days of this knowing I have 2 days off/week instead of just 1.OK so I skipped Cardio Recovery yesterday and instead of doing it today I went back to the Plyometric Cardio Circuit, the first real workout.THe six day per week schedule just isn't going to work for me.

I figured since I took yesterday off, a "recovery" session wasn't really necessary. Pretty sure Tuesdays and Fridays are going to be my rest days, since I have golf league immediately after work on Tuesdays and then on Fridays a bunch of my buddies usually scoot out for an afternoon nine and happy hour. This qualifies as merriment.To be honest I didn't think it was that useful. The lunge/squat pulses were worthwhile to me, but just about everything else was boring and I didn't get much out of it.

Same here. Probably the most I've been able to do so far but still tough. Not much soreness at this point either. I know tomorrow is an off day but I'll probably do a quick 4-5 mile run anyway.Feeling good again is nice.offdee said:

As weird and sick as this sounds I almost miss the sore muscles a little bit. King of makes you feel like you actually pushed yourself. Maybe it goes back to missing that feeling after my college football 2-a-days....it kind of took me back during those few days of aching. Man I miss college.

I guess I'm really not flexible because this may have been the toughest workout yet. Todays workout was perfect timing though as I'm in Japan and it's Friday here

Yeah, probably would've advised against it. Overtraining isn't a good thing, and the body needs some downtime every once in a while to properly recuperate.

Day 2 in the books. My legs/lower body should end up "fit" but not sure about upper. Feel a little tenderness in chest from the whacky pushup exercise. inhaled some trail mix, two hardboiled eggs sans yolk and a banana on the way into work. definitely hungrier.
Quick question, I started yesterday so the 6 day schedule (with a break on sunday) is a little out of whack.
How big of a disservice (big picture-wise) will I be doing myself if I take my off day tomorrow or sunday? Just makes sense to be off on the weekend as opposed to a random wednesday morning

That does make sense, but I'd wait until you've done enough that the soreness goes away. Taking a day off now would hurt your progress more than taking a day off, say, next week. At least in my opinion.
Homer J Simpson

Shouldn't be a big deal, IMO. It's only the first week, so it's not like you're upsetting an established schedule.

So, believe this means you're 2 weeks in correct? Did you gradually lose weight over the course of those two weeks or did it start to kick in more the 2nd week?I'm one week in and no weight loss yet (although my core feels more tone)

Can't really decide for sure, but I think I need to go back and start at Day 1 again on Monday. The week+ layoff along with bad eating is probably a pretty good setback.You gonna start back at Day 1 or just start up again where you left off?Glad to see folks sticking with this

No kidding. 6 pounds in two weeks is great. Hope I see similar results after next week. I usually drop weight pretty quickly.Nice work.

One thing I have noticed, coming off a routine where I really only ate once a day.
And this is just after two days.
When I am hungry, I am drop dead hungry. No if, and, or buts. I gotta eat.
Not sure I like being so dependent on food.

I posted something like this a couple weeks ago. For me, the extra, more intense hunger went away. I was finding that I needed to eat a lot more (both frequency and quantity), which was limiting my ability to lose any weight. My hunger has gone nearly back to the way it was before starting Insanity.One thing I have noticed, coming off a routine where I really only ate once a day.And this is just after two days.When I am hungry, I am drop dead hungry.

6 pounds in 2 weeks is solid. what was your starting point? are you following the nutrition plan?
I've followed the nutrition plan to a T and have not had any hunger really and I used to eat a lot whenever I wanted before I started it.. Sleep 4am-noon, eat at 12:30, 2:30, 6:00, 8:30, 10:30. Workout @ 3pm. Started yesterday and just finished day 2 this afternoon. Started the nutrition portion Monday though and since. I tried day 1 and half of day 2 on the 7th & 8th and decided to wait till I got the food because I think the amount of protein in the nutrition program is key in getting through the workouts. Went from 201.6 to 195.8 in 9 days somehow though the diet cut was huge since I'm at a poker game 4 nights/week with pizza, subs, all sorts of snacks, etc. late hours at night and minus the gallon of juice every 2-3 days replaced with water kinda not surprised at the quick drop.

I am trying my own version of the meal plan. Took a look and can simulate most of it pretty easily. My goal is 4, 400 calorie meals a day. It says I need 2100 to LOSE let alone maintain, but I don't believe em. Plus, I need some padding for beer calories.I wish I'd have looked. I let choose the menu so nothing is repeated during the week which is ok for variety but pain to cook some. Most tastes ok though. Guaranteed next week when I make my menu I'm having about 8 smoothies a week. It says I need 2500 to LOSE. Seems high to me so have lowered some of the 5 meals to 400 to modify a little.
