I love it so far. I've done all the workouts for the first month a couple of times. The only thing I don't like with this program is the long stretching segment after the warm up. I enjoy a good stretch, but at the end of my workout, not when I just got warmed up! So I've started skipping over...

My Insanity arrived today too!! I'm going to do the fit test, and hopefully one other workout tomorrow. Of course I won't be able to walk on Friday, but who cares??? :)

Cynthia - I really like your first week's rotation. What a good idea to pair Insanity with 4DS. I finally got my shipping notice, so I should get it tomorrow or Thurs. Never thought I'd be this excited for torture. :)

Cynthia and Dawn - thanks for the replies about your orders. My coach checked on my order, and it looks like I'll get it between the 16th and 20th. BB is refunding my 2 day shipping charge, but will still ship it via that method. I'm just soooo impatient to get it. Thanks, Cynthia for the...

For those of you who have received your order - how long did it take from the time you ordered? I placed my order last Wed. or Thurs., and have not even received a shipping notice yet. Just wondering...

I just ordered too!!! I'm so excited to get started. I don't think I'll give up my weights, but this will sure be an awesome addition for intensity work. Maybe we should start an Insanity check-in thread!

Lauramax - why are you confused about my identity? I'm just a regular person who mentioned Insanity to a workout buddy. She googled it right away, and found the extremefitness site. She placed an order, and got a confirmation. However, the day after, she received a notice that the product was...

It sounds like you and the soon-to-be- ex are definitely willing to put your child first. My kids were 8 and 12 when we divorced. We've always been very cordial, and are now very good friends. Our initial arrangement was that the kids would be with each of us for 2 days in a row, then we'd...

Here's a link to an article for carb lovers. It might make you feel a little better about your bread "addiction." My only advice is to make yourself limt the amount you eat, or tell yourself you can have as much as you want 2 hours before your workout and 1 hour afterward. After that - no more...

A friend of mine was googling Insanity, and she found it for sale and ordered it through Extreme Fitness. She paid for 3 day shipping, and never got any type of message saying that it hadn't been released yet. What's up with that???

If you love intense cardio, you have got to have this!! I ordered the Tony Horton One-on-One workout so I could get the free Insanity disk. I did it this morning, and it's probably the most intense dvd workout I've ever done. This is the way I want to work out. Can't wait for the series to be...

Amista, I'm also quite thin and an ectomorph. I've found that lifting heavy weights about 4 times per week has kept me lean and given me exceptional muscle definition. Another factor in gaining muscle and not fat is what, how much, and when you eat. To gain muscle you need protein, about 25...

I recommend reading Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet book. She lays out several eating plans in detail, and even provides shopping lists for each one. She does not believe in counting/logging calories, and uses your own hand to measure servings. It's pretty simple, and will wean you away from...

kariev, I think you are right on with your post. Diet is 90% responsible for the way our bodies look, and like they say - you can't outwork a bad diet. If you expend more calories than you take in, you will lose weight. Unfortunately, most people drastically underestimate the quantity and...

I also feel that way at times. For me, it also makes a difference what type of protein I'm eating. Egg whites, chicken breast, and fish set fine with me. Beef and pork (even the leanest cuts) don't - so I never eat them. Protein powders and drinks really make me feel sick, so I get all of my...

I think I read that same article, or one like it. Here's my take on it. If you were working really hard during the work phase, which it sounds like you were, then it's HIIT!! I've done mine on an elliptical, and I've been at the point where I'm gasping for breath at the end of my intensity...

All of the Cathe workouts you have are awesome, and will work fantastic. That being said, none of them will work in combination with a bad diet. It's true what we've all heard (and probably said) many times - You can't out-work a bad diet. If you start eating really, really clean (no...

Yep, count me in too!!

My dr. told me that below 8% can get into the dangerous area for women, so you should be fine at 12.5. I've been around 11-12 for years, I'm 5'7'', 110 lbs., and perfectly fine and healthy!

To lose, I eat 10-11 calories per pound of body weight. To maintain, 15 per pound. I've also read that you want to calculate calories per pound based on your lean body weight, because you really don't want to feed your fat. This would require having your body fat tested, but would be well worth...
