#2 from above I wholeheartedly agree with. I have no idea how they do it. It looks like Shawn goes from a plank position and jump/pushes himself up into an inverted V (think downward dog) in one smooth jump. I do it, but I just don't know how he does it so smoothly.Day 44 this morning. 60 minutes of this stuff sure feels like an eternity.
I would say it depends on your goal. Are you really interested in seeing what you can do in 60 days? If so, I'd just stick to the schedule and skip the workout. If you're not on the timeline, then don't skip the workouts.That said, there is one recovery day, and one off day each week. If you miss a real workout day, take that as one of the two off days, and do the exercise you miss. I think as long as you can get the 5 real workouts in a seven day span, you're alright.
He's doing this from the bottom of his pushup, correct?
Thanks. Getting the lady to join this with me. Which is good because she's getting a bit chunky and my hint dropping continues to agitate her.
My weight loss isn't that much either. I don't remember if I was 180 or 179 when I started, but I'm down to 175 after the first month. I haven't been religous about it, and one week was pretty much a complete miss. I have lately started watching what I've been eating a lot more closely, but results have been minimal. I'm hoping these second month exercises really start to accelarate the loss and I lose something more like 8 pounds this month. We'll see.
I'm doing it with my gf also just cuz she wanted to (no need to lose much weight but never hurts to tone up even more!). Anyways, it is definitely nice doing it with a partner as it keeps us both motivated to keep on it...there's been a few times that we both probably wouldn't have pushed as hard or not done it altogether if the other one wasn't there.Thanks.

I personally feel the Fit Test is one of the hardest days. In all you're pushing your body, but in the Fit Test you really continually push it to the max to try and beat the previous test's results. I wouldn't recommend skipping that.
Correct
Are you serious? First of all, you need to make sense. Do you mean you restart the exercise, the video, or what? Or do you mean you sit down and gather yourself for a few seconds and then start exercising again? If it's the former, then I commend you. If the latter, then keep on doing your "workout" there buddyHe could be like my buddy who just started this a month ago. He stated "It takes 5 minutes for the ripple effect stop". he's dropped a ton in 4 weeks though. Seriously though, you stop when you can't keep up then restart.Can't we all just get along.Also, how did it take you 45 minutes to do a 30 minute video.Who are all these noobs crawling out of the woodwork? Member #40,000, isn't that a bit much to trash-talk me?This thread just took a sharp turn straight downhill.Already on Day 3 and I feel like a new man. I didn't have that much fat on me to begin with, but all of my muscles are really tight now. I was on Day 2 yesterday and it took me about 45 minutes to get through the 30 minute video.
I've also adjusted my diet to include lots of peanut butter, fish, and chicken. My only sugar intake is through my juice addiction.
Feelin lean and mean
. Most of the exercises only last 30 seconds so when you're catching your breath for 8 seconds you've only committed to doing just over half of the workout. Keep on being a 50 percenter, guy.
Yep, me too. I have my last non-recovery workout tomorrow morning. I'll probably get back on your schedule by skipping my off day and going straight into the first recovery workout. Either that or just skipping the last of the recovery workouts and going straight into hell.Think I'm going to also make a point to run on 3 of the days during the recovery week.
Recovery week isn't just Yoga. It is more like a typical interval day than I expected. There's just a lot more rest as he introduces the next move, and he keeps saying "don't be wasted at the end of this workout." It's not a total cakewalk, but it's not total hard core, either. I couldn't do it more than a few times, just because it gets repetitive, but it's not 45 minutes of yoga, either.
good.
The Hip Flexor Burners kill me!
rut roh.what is this? I hate hip flexor stretches.
from same reviewIt’s a 3 part exercise. The first move has you raising your knee, parallel with your waist, then back down to the ground. Repeating for 30 seconds. The next move has you doing the same thing, but it’s called “pulses” and your foot never touches the ground. And then the last move is a kick added to the end. Each section is 30 seconds. Once you complete one leg, you switch to the other.
This is where is gets me. 60 seconds never seemed so long. Quite the burn.
cool. thanks. And ya, it still looks like a great workout if you're doing it all right.
yikes.RECOVERY WEEK #####ES!
Not looking forward to the Fit Test and Max Interval Circuit on the first day back though. Read about that one and it doesn't sound pretty - 59 minutes not including the Fit Test.
I don't see why you can't do it that way. Although you'll be feeling it the following morning when you go to do the next day's workout.yikes.RECOVERY WEEK #####ES!

not sure how I am going to even fit all that in. one in morning, one at night?
Yep. I just can't see getting up at 5:30 to get it all done in the a.m. I am already "late" to work everyday because of Insanity.cross that bridge when I get to it I suppose.I don't see why you can't do it that way.

6.4 lbs lost in 2 weeks!? Geez, good for you man, but not sure how some are seeing these kind of results.I've been doing these workouts pretty religiously for 30 days now, and been eating better and I've only lost 2-3lbs so far. But, I am still seeing results with tone in my core so that's really all I care about. Good for you though, and keep it up!
Yeah, not the cakewalk I was expecting.
Damn you and your metabolism.
offdee, weight is not the best measure of the progress you made. You're probably gaining muscle. I'd rather gain 3 pounds of muscle while losing 3 pounds of fat then just losing 3 pounds of fat. Best indication is how your slim fit $300 jeans are fitting.
Can you expand on this thought?The key is not to follow the diet.
Just a joke because I know offdee has been following it. I've cut down on junk and portion sizes a fair amount but I'm not using the plan.Honestly, the weight loss has been in spurts. Nothing for a couple of weeks and then I'm down 5 pounds or so. Then nothing for a couple more weeks and then down another 5.When I wasn't seeing any weight loss I could still tell that I was getting results based on muscle tone and definition and belt loops but it was still a bit frustrating not seeing the needle move.Can't wait to see what happens after the "fun" starts next week.Can you expand on this thought?The key is not to follow the diet.
