Getting my Thread on because this is where I'm going to journal all my Thoughts and Daily updates as I go through that crazy workout routine AKA Shaun T's Insanity!

Scared and Curious at the same time. I've already taken my Befores and I do plan to keep taking weekly photos. Should be fun!!! Not only do I want to see the Afters but the In-Betweens can be just as telling and motivating. It's nice to get an idea on how far you've come as well as how far you need to go. It sure helps when traveling more than a hundred miles, seeing the road signs along the way. 60 Miles to HOME.

Looking forward to it all, and it will be nice to have a few of you reading along!!! Especially if any of you have ever given this routine any thought. Well, you will get second hand experience through my journal.

So the routine begins Early AM Monday Morning. According to the Workout Calendar that is the day it says to start. It also calls to have Sundays off. Now, I'm used to taking Mondays off, but I really want and NEED to stick to the plan so I'll just go along with Sundays. Who knows, maybe I'll like them better.

Anyhow, along with that routine I'm moving my "machines" to the evening hours. THAT'S gonna be tough!! But, I have to do it because I'm re-training for a 5K event in May.

So here's how my weekly workout routine will look for the next 8-10 Weeks.

Sunday: Off

Monday: 4AM - Insanity! 4PM - 50 Minutes on the Treadmill; 30 Mins Light Toning

Tuesday: 4AM - Insanity! 4PM - 20 Mins Stationary Bike; 30 Minutes Elliptical

Wednesday: 4AM - Insanity! 4PM - 50 Minutes on the Treadmill; 30 Mins Light Toning

Thursday: 4AM - Insanity! 4PM - 20 Mins Stationary Bike; 30 Minutes Elliptical

Friday: 4AM - Insanity! 4PM - 50 Minutes on the Treadmill; 30 Mins Light Toning

Saturday: 4AM - Insanity! 4PM - 20 Mins Stationary Bike; 30 Minutes Elliptical

Am I crazy? Probably... but this is what my life's going to look like for the rest of March through May!! Bring it!!

I'm still doing it!!! I wanted to vomit through todays routine, but I can't get better unless I get through it!

Okay Im putting this out there... Insanity is not for beginners. Im not telling anyone NOT to try it nor dont buy it. Im saying, I workout minimum one hour a day, six days a week. Ive also been doing this much workout pert near my whole life. Insanity is STILL kicking my ass big time, so what I am saying is, this program is really for people who are already quite physically fit and who are looking to take this to the next level.

The disclaimer at the beginning of each DVD even says so. My suggestion to anyone considering this program is, wait until you are really ready for it. Anyone can do it, I truly believe that! But be warned, its really really tough. Id hate for anyone to buy and try it, and become discouraged. Start with other sets first, like Jillian Michaels or other Shaun T DVDs... once you master those, then give Insanity a try.

Whatever you do though, KEEP IT MOVING!!

Yeah it's no joke lol.. That workout is militaristic boot camp... Start with regular p90, then try p90x, the excel to insanity.

Beginners= p90

Intermediate= p90x

Advance= insanity

Well Jimmy I'm better known as Bass Ackwards! ;o) I'm actually thinking of doing the Brazilian Butt Lift next. P90X too. Ha!

Speaking of Militaristic Boot Camp, I think you hit the nail right on the head there. My brother went into the Marines out of shape and about 40 Lbs overweight. 3 Months later he came out stick thin and really super absolutely crazy fit. Amazing. I think he wanted to die every day!!!

Yeah they workout 3 times a day and even when they ate no physically working out they are working out...

OMG JIMMY you will love that p90x.

I am doing a similar program called Supreme 90day

..which costs way less then p90x...but is the same stuff. I am on day 9 and I feel like I been hit by a bus. That's how you know it works lol. I already have more endurance and flexibility. Best wishes to you Lil Miss Diva,as well. Keep us posted guys.

Ok so I haven't been sleeved but my sister has insanity and today I did the fit test, yes I'm do outta shape but I wanted to sweat today, and wow did I ever!! So crazy and insane is an understatement.... Good luck miss diva. Let's see if I can do it again tomorrow. ????

OKAY FOLKS!! It's picture time. I've just completed three full weeks of Insanity. STOKED!! I also burned 2,001 calories today. Okay, that has little to do with this subject, just thought I'd mention that. Oh, and the picture with the pink lace was because I wanted to show exactly how much fun I'm having. I bought that at Forever 21. Good times!!

PHOTO TIME!!! Enjoy.

Congrats Diva! Your arms look fabulous (as does the rest of you, but you can really see the muscle cuts in your arms!). I'm doing the Les Mills Body Pump class twice a week and walking four days a week. Last week I did a body sculpt class with a different teacher and it was a real wake up call. She focused on abs nearly the whole hour (or so it seemed to me) and I have spent the last two days feeling like someone kicked me in the ribs. Better today, but I'm sure something in the middle must be stronger after that!

BTW, that pink lace looks cute on you too!

Hi Jwow... just be careful. I'm not so sure doing so many workouts being only 3 weeks post op is a really good idea, especially the swimming. Please check with your surgeon.
