I work out shirtless, yes. But it's not really like the guys in the video.

judging by some of their interactions, I think she is engaging in some downward dog action with Shawn T.

I borrowed a heart rate monitor from a buddy for today's Pure Cardio. 750 calories for the 39 minute workout. And that's only doing 20 of the 30 seconds, and 40 of the 60 seconds. I imagine that someone doing the full workout has to burn at least 1000 (depending on their weight, obviously). Wow!On another note, the workout after an off day or cardio recovery feels awesome. So far, I have felt much stronger each time.I work out shirtless, yes. But it's not really like the guys in the video.

Day 14 completed! (for me and my rescheduling this week it was my first double video experience....Cardio Abs + Pure Cardio)
Did a NFL Draft/Birthday celebration night last night so drank too much (and too many calories!) and wasn't feeling much up to Shawn T nonsense today, but fought through it.
Did the Cardio Abs first as suggested on here. To be honest I don't feel like it gave me a great ab workout cuz I physically couldn't do some of the ground work as it put too much pressure on my tailbone in that C-sit section. After the Pure Cardio was over I did my own set of crunches just to get some ab burn going.
Fit Test #2 tomorrow....interested to see some # improvements.

I've always taken these fit tests with a grain of salt, but how f'ing strong do your leg muscles have to be to do a full squat and come back to a jack position every .759 seconds? You must be able to leg press 3x your body weight..

Week 4 in the books.
I'm gonna do week 4 two more times because I'm going to Florida in two weeks. My week in Florida will be my recovery week and then I'll hop into month 2 with the max programs when I return

Week 2 complete. Was hungover as hell, didn't have any caffeine in the house this morning (I survive on 5 hour energy shots), and REALLY didn't want to do it. But I skipped yesterday and felt bad about it, so I did it. Now I feel awesome. Fit Test #2 tomorrow!

Fit Test
Date, 22-Mar, 6-Apr, 26-Apr
Move, Fit Test 1, Fit Test 2, Fit Test 3
Switch Kicks, 124, 131, 128 <----concentrated more on form here
Power Jacks, 54, 54 , 59
Power Knees, 81, 100, 115
Power Jumps, 33, 38 , 52
Globe Jumps, 8, 10, 10

So I previewed Max Interval Circuit and I can honestly said that I am deathly afraid of this workout tomorrow morning. 60 minutes of just insane combinations. I was literally laughing when I watched it wondering how I was going to make it through.

Great job. I have a couple of questions.I'm a little over a week away and am already dreading day 36 - my calendar shows both the Fit Test and Max Interval Circuit on the same day which seems like overkill. Did you split these up? How boring was the Core Cardio and Balance for 6 straight days?
3MTA3
Footballguy
Yes, I split up the Fit Test and Max Circuit. I did the Fit Test yesterday which is normally my off day. I figured it wouldn't hurt since it's not overly exhausting. And yes, the Cardio and Balance got dreadfully boring towards the end.Woke up at 5am this morning to do the Max Interval Circuit....it's double the sweat of anything during the first month. 60 minutes of pain. I can feel my muscles getting sore already.....it's a totally different workout.

Same here.Running a day behind you now. Took Saturday off. Just couldn't find the time to get the Fit Test in until Sunday morning. Planned to double up yesterday but didn't work out.Down 5 pounds.

Right on! I'm down 2lbs presently, but feeling much more tone in the core. Can't imagine what the results will be after 40+ more days of this. :flex:tribecalledjeff

Nice work. I went down by about 15 on the Switch Kicks as well on Fit Test #2 and up in all other areas. No idea either other than probably using better form (i.e. kicking higher) than the first time around.

I'm still going strong into week 4. I'm starting to see some ab definition. Core is much tighter and I ran 10k this afternoon after pure cardio and cardio abs. Energy levels are through the roof.
I do feel like it is running my life though.
I can't do much without thinking, "oh I have insanity in the morning"

I'm in week 4 and I just made the mistake of looking ahead at the 2nd month's workouts. I can finally see why they call this program Insanity! I was in the Marine Corps and I know this program will definitely push me to a place I have never been physically and mentally. I hope I can survive! Good luck everyone.

That sucks. I'm just getting my shoulder straightened out after some PT. I can do a few before they become unconfortable, but I'd hate to sacrifice big chunks of a workout over it.

Yeah, I've done it in that order each time and it seems fine although I don't always feel like I'm really getting the greatest ab workout. Seems like there aren't quite enough reps or something.offdee said:

Our bathroom scale measures BF and BMI. Well it gives a number anyway, don't know how accurate it is but its a number to gauge decline.plyo cardio circuit, specifically the end and the ski abs, ect. just ####### kill me.

You can also google "US Nave Method body fat percentage" and get some online calculators based on a few body measurements. It is supposedly even more accurate than calipers, but YMMV.

Did Cardio Power instead of Cardio Recovery this morning. Just didn't feel like having an easy day today. Really tough workout this morning but it felt good.
I'll do Cardio Recovery tomorrow. Might also do Cardio Abs just for fun. INSANITY I TELL YOU!

Did cardio core and balance for the first time yesterday (missed Monday). The workout wasn't bad, though I'm not sure I'll do it every day for the rest of the week. I did have a good sweat worked up by the end, but I certainly wasn't sweating throughout.

stayed up too late, didn't get up this morning. Cardio Recovery is up on the scheduling. Thinking about skipping it since I took day off.
I forget, what does Cardio Recovery involve, mostly yoga-like stretches? Any ab or pike work?

never mind, here is a review from link above:stayed up too late, didn't get up this morning. Cardio Recovery is up on the scheduling. Thinking about skipping it since I took day off.
will benefit from doing it.Welcome Back to another Insanity Review. Today I’m reviewing the Insanity Cardio Recovery workout. This workout is scheduled once a week, it’s about 33 minutes long, and has NO Cardio! Now Insanity, is cardio INTENSE, so a break from that Insanity is a welcome relief. Not to mention, your allowing your body and muscles a chance to recover from all the INTENSE cardio, it’s a GOOD thing. I enjoy this workout, and even though there is no cardio, it’s still a sweatin good time.
