Just finished my 2nd fit test. Pretty pleased with the results, but I could have done a little better on some parts. WEEK 1: WEEK 2: Switch Kicks: 56 71 Power Jacks: 38 52 Power Knees: 65 77 Power Jumps: 20 25 Globe Jumps: 6 8 Suicide Jumps: 10 12 Push-Up Jacks: 13 16 Plank Obliques: 32 42

Just wait until the end of week 2! They make you do pure cardio and then cardio abs immediately after. My quads were so heavy after the pure cardio that I felt like the cardio abs was a joke. I almost wished it was simple sit ups rather than this weird V-sit up position. Today marks the start of week 3 for me. Can't wait to see how I have progressed on the fit test. Let's do this!!

Hey I am a newbie to VC, but Thrice55 told me about this thread and I knew I just had to chime in. I am on my 2nd week of Insanity and it is definitely a love/hate relationship. The hardest workout I have done in a long time, but I have been out of the fitness routine for years now. It has really been a big push to get back into shape and I feel this workout is exactly what I needed to get going. I bought some fitness dvds and tried running outside around my neighborhood while doing push-ups, sit ups, etc., but I couldn't stay motivated and I felt like I was half assing it anyways. Plus it is way too hot outside during the times I have available for workouts so Thrice55 got me the insanity to try out. For me insanity seems to work. I am only on week 2, but I feel better (regardless of the soreness) and I think I look a little better too. I don't own a scale so I am not sure how much weight I am actually loosing. Today is my recovery day and I am looking forward to it, even though it still works your already exhausted quads. I feel like the 2nd week is harder than the first and I am sure it will continue to be that way. As you get better and stronger you are able to do more. I struggle the most with the push ups and there is so much plyometrics that sometimes I want to cry! I find myself yelling at the tv and yelling at myself to keep going. That helps too!! Best of luck to all you guys and I'll keep checking in.
