    Insanity DVD Problem

    I tried wiping mine off and it didn't help. :( I also had an issue with the seller before receiving my DVDs. He seemed legit, with all the positive feedback, a U.S. address (can't remember which state but I don't think it was Florida). As soon as I won the auction, he said it would take extra...

    Insanity DVD Problem

    Wow - if it's as simple as wiping it off, that would be fantastic! I'll give it a try before I start today's workout. About the bootleg thing - I may be naive, but would a bootleg copy have the same high-quality packaging as the original? The fancy DVD case with all the printed materials...

    Insanity DVD Problem

    I bought Insanity from a seller on eBay, new and unopened. It was quite a bit cheaper than ordering directly from BeachBody, plus the seller offered free shipping. I am beginning to wonder if there was a batch of "bad" DVDs from BeachBody that found their way into eBay sellers' hands at a deeply...

    Sharp pain in hip/pelvic area?

    Thanks for all of the responses! I could ask about getting an MRI - I have to see my dermatologist every month and he is always concerned about any other health problems I might be having. He would probably give me a referral. Wonder what causes a cyst in the first place, anyway? About the...

    Sharp pain in hip/pelvic area?

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else here has experienced this...it's a little hard to describe, so I'm having a difficult time getting answers searching online or even talking to multiple doctors. For many months now, maybe even a year, I have had a drastic reduction in flexibility in my hips...

    MET Value of Insanity Workouts?

    Thanks for the link to the Met values PDF! Maybe my perceived intensity is not all that accurate...for me, Insanity seems much harder than IMAX 2. I can go through Imax 2 most of the time without needing to stop, although my form starts to get sloppier towards the end. With Insanity, I have to...

    MET Value of Insanity Workouts?

    Hi, I am in my second week of Insanity, and having just discovered Cathe's Workout Manager, I decided to enter the rotation in the calendar. Because I didn't realize you could select "other" from the list of DVDs until just now, I already put every workout in as just cardio. Anyway, I know...

    Another Insanity Question . . . . .

    Just wanted to say I bought mine "new in the box" off eBay...looks like now they are going for between $80-90 including free shipping. Alos, I'm on my fourth day of Insanity today and so far I am loving it! It's kicking my butt (which I thought was in pretty good shape, due to years of Cathe...

    Cathe, thanks for the wonderful new option!

    I totally agree - I am so excited about the download option. As soon as I saw the announcement on Cathe's website, I started downloading Imax 3. I had been on the fence about ordering a few of Cathe's DVDs, but now the incentive of convenience and the lower download price means I'll definitely...

    High Levels of Creatine Kinase?

    I am feeling fine overall, especially since I've rededicated myself to exercising more often. I get my blood tested every month because I take a psoriasis medication that can have serious side effects. In my experience, although my dermatologist is wonderful, some of the nurses in the office...

    High Levels of Creatine Kinase?

    After I told the nurse that I had been exercising, she didn't seem concerned anymore. I didn't talk directly to the doctor (dermatologist), but I know we'll discuss it at my regular appointment next month. Since I intend to keep exercising, my CK levels could potentially be the same next month...

    High Levels of Creatine Kinase?

    Hello! I'm just curious to see if any of you ladies know something about creatine kinase (CK)...specifically how exercise can effect CK levels in your blood. I just got results from a blood test from two days ago, and the nurse asked if I had been exercising, because my CK levels were much...

    Insanity question

    Wow, thank you so much for the information! I might be able to squeeze in 5 workouts a week using this system, especially since on most weeks it looks like one of the workouts is repeated. If I can manage to stick to that, I would be very satisfied! It may be too early to tell, but do you...

    Insanity question

    Hi, I just found out about the Insanity Workout and am interested in getting it. But, I really want to know more about the calendar that comes with the DVD set...I like the idea of having a calendar to follow for the full 60 days, but I'm afraid it might require a workout 7 days a week or...

    4 Day Split or...

    I am looking for some advice on which workout(s) to buy next. I was very excited about the idea of the 4 Day Split but after watching the video preview I have some concerns that it might not be the right choice for me. Most importantly, I don't want to buy 4 workouts and only end up doing 2 or 3...

    American Idol

    The "what's a ballsy?" comment from Kelly really put the nail in the coffin for me - she NEEDS to go home next, even though it will probably be Bucky or Lisa. There's a difference between being a country girl and being a blatant idiot. She apparently thinks it's cute because it gets attention...

    Completely unrelated thoughts: Viper and yoga :)

    Hello everybody! I recently discovered my newest favorite Cathe workout. Surprisingly enough, it's just a very slight modification of Viper, which is on the first Cathe DVD I ever bought, Terminator. Here it is: do the whole workout, but skip the Cardio and Weights segments! I had avoided...

    I have a shoulder injury?!?!?

    This is extremely frustrating! I've never had any serious injury before, and certainly not from working out. Then, pretty suddenly yesterday (Tuesday), my right shoulder started hurting when I moved my arm in certain ways. I hadn't done any weight workout since doing Power Hour on Saturday. I...

    Lasik eye surgery in one eye?

    My mother had this exact procedure done, the same day I had both of my eyes done. My mom's eyes were not nearly as bad as mine, and hers had the deterioration that naturally comes with aging. I don't remember her ever saying she had problems with headaches or anything. She was apprehensive about...

    First Impression: Supersets/Push Pull

    Okay, okay, you've convinced me! I'll keep the DVD. :) I know I'll buy the others I want eventually anyway, but I seriously have to cool it with the credit card for a while. I'll try out some of the premixes next time, probably sticking to the ones with Supersets. I'll probably try doing the...
