I did my first rotation of P90x 4 years ago and had wonderful results. This was the first series that I followed the rotation to the letter for the entire time and convinced me that pullups were not out of reach for me and pushup variety is something to be embraced. I have done several rounds...

Hello all, Just wanted to check in and thank everyone for their well wishes and also for a very interesting discussion. I absolutely enjoy informed discussions and once again, this thread has proven that Catheites are savvy intellectuals :) As far as my flu experience, it has been...

LOL Amber: All I can say is the 70's were a fun decade..... All that disco dancing and sneaking into clubs when we were teenagers. My goodness there are times when I think back to those years and some isolated incidents and I feel very lucky to be alive. One thing I will not do: No more...

Catherine, I agree with you that the ER is not to be used for a doctor's office. I was following protocol set by my hospital for this particular issue. We were informed to go to infection control the MINUTE we felt symptoms during our shift. My shifts starts at 6:30--- an hour and a half...

Exactly my point..... I was stating I seem to have contracted the virus after being vaccinated and exposed someone who has a mild case. My symptoms are mild.. stuffy head, headache, but the swab was positive and my work sent me home in hopes I didn't infect anyone else in the course of my job. I...

I went at 6AM this morning... not a soul around in the ER and went right to triage since I was an employee of the hospital. It is possible I contracted it because I recieved the vaccine, but interesting how symptoms came up about 48 hours after exposure to a known H1N1 positive person. Our...

I work at a health care facility and recieved the regular flu vaccine about 6 weeks ago and the H1N1 about 4 weeks ago. I was exposed to someone who had the H1N1 flu and notified my supervisor immediately (Monday Afterernoon). The current protocol for situations like this is to monitor...

Jerry, I am so glad to "see" you again on this forum. I miss your sense of humor and viewpoint on various topics discussed here. It sounds like you have been through a very tough time, but remember growth always happens when challenges hit you. You have to know inyour heart and soul that...

Nathalie, I second the pace weights recommendation -when budget allows :). I am on my second round of STS and I have used wrist weights AND pace weights on a few exercises (since I only got 5 lbs of pace weights... I have to order more) The wrist weights worked well for me. I would...

I am in my second round of STS and have found Meso 1 to be the most exhausting phase. I haven't been as hungry this time around, but i have been following the nutrition guide from Insanity and it has definetly helped. One more week of Meso 1 and then on to my favorite phase- hypertrophy...

What a coincidence, I did Imax today also and used 2 risers for the first time EVER also!! I haven't done this workout in a looooooong time but it came up in the STS rotation so I dusted it off and had a blast! I forgot how much I enjoy this workout. I believe this was the first time I had...

What a night!!! Thank goodness you had the weights and the faculties to bar the door. Your plight brought back some frightening memories of run ins with bears when we lived in the adirondacks. One thing I don't miss is locking up the trash in the garage !!! Brenda in Indiana

The older I get, the more I realize my personality and temperment are very much like my mother's. Lifestyle and food tastes are very different from either parent. Like the poster said upthread, one can't deny their genes!! Brenda in Indiana

I have found that if I use my workout shoes EXCLUSIVELY for indoor workouts ( 6 days a week cardio for about an hour , a couple of plyometric workouts, a couple of step workouts, a couple of bootcamp workouts per week) they will last about 4-5 months. I use impact gel inserts and as soon as I...

Marianne: Great results!!! It is so gratifying to be able to quantify the gains made through the Insanity rotation. I will warn you, Shaun T withdraw has hit all of the graduates so far.... I have incorporated 2 Insanity workouts a week since starting STS again, I missed the "How y'all doin?"...

Dawn: Almost there..... what a great feeling it will be to get that final workout in. As far as going back to weight work, it was a piece of cake. I was surprised that I was able to maintain the strength gains I made during my first round of STS while doing the official Insanity rotation. I...

My workplace (an outpatient cancer clinic) requires us to get the vaccine since we are working with immunosuppressed patients. My husband (a UPS driver) has had several brushes with the swine flu- a couple of his delivery sites have had major outbreaks- fortunately, he has a very good immune...

Since finishing Insanity a couple of weeks ago, I have incorporated 2 if the workouts per week into my routine. I just can't walk away completely!! I just started STS again and plan on using Insanity for the leg workouts in Meso 2 as well as for 2 cardios a week during meso 1.... this series...

Roselyn, I followed the menu plan and lost 10 pounds (too much for me, I am small) and had to eat like crazy the last 2 weeks to gain a couple of pounds back. Since finishing I am still doing the 5 small meals per day because I feel sooooo much better spreading the calories throughout the...

Roselyn: welcome to Insanity!! What an awesome experience you have in store. I completed Insanity a couple of weeks ago and couldn't stay away from Shaun very long.... I started the 3.5 month STS rotation today and plan on mixing in Insanity 2 days a week. My legs really responded well to the...
