Is anyone doing this/done it?

Done my fit test yesterday and done pretty shite

Done the first circuit today, fooking hell, couldnt even manage half of it! I thought id finished the circuit, was feeling pretty chuffed, then i realised that was just the warm up! Jeez

am gutted there is no taco cabana in Paris that I can find

there must be a tamale house though?

Mitchy1nge · 20/06/2013 20:48

it's making me LIVE on tacos

seriously, breakfast tacos, baked tacos, beef tacos, bean and cheese tacos, beef and bean, beef bean and cheese, I even want fish tacos Confused

the Elite Nutrition Plan has failed

officelady · 20/06/2013 17:56

Oh hahaha Mitchy! That is exactly why I study my calendar intensely before each session, I don't think I could cope with doing any extra exercise!
I swear that all this physical activity is affecting my brain, I forgot the name of a work colleague earlier, she reckons I've got shaken baby syndrome from all the Insanity jumping around!

Mitchy1nge · 20/06/2013 09:28

I hate the fact that I've done cardio abs four times so far when actually only had to do it twice - every pure cardio day, have only just noticed that you don't always have to do that bit

argh

it's not even nice

officelady · 19/06/2013 17:19

Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs .... why, God, why?
Nearly an hour of pure torture. And just when you think you are having a nice rest with the Abs, he pulls out his C sit position and those evil, EVIL leg raise things. It's like my body says to me "that's not normal. In fact it's not even legal. Not doing it."
But I survived!

Mitchy1nge · 19/06/2013 12:42

ok, will see if can rip them - did try but was having an easily defeated by technology day

if not think there is a gym in the hotel although really don't want to miss Monday and Tuesday

pure cardio AND cardio abs today my insanity friends Grin

notyummy · 18/06/2013 17:52

I would take the DVDs and do them. I have various workouts ripped and on my iPhone so when I travel with work or for leisure I can do them in the room if there is no gym and/or I don't feel safe to go out running.

Mitchy1nge · 18/06/2013 14:05

wow I have lost 1.2 kg since I last logged my weight with MFP

so am just feeling fatter is not actual fat

is a worse thing though, the imaginary stuff isn't it?

Mitchy1nge · 18/06/2013 13:01

forgot, am going away on Saturday for 3 nights - would you take the DVDs and attempt them in what is probably a very small hotel room?

Mitchy1nge · 18/06/2013 12:56

thanks :) am keeping up more or less although couldn't do the fit test yesterday, too many people around , but today's pcc is easily my favourite - just as am really starting to struggle he starts the jabs and it's all over and I want to do it again

I think I'm getting fatter though Confused

officelady · 18/06/2013 06:37

I forgot to add - *Mitchy1nge - don't lose heart - just jump back in on whatever day the calendar says. We are still doing the same selection of workouts for the next 2 weeks so plenty of time to get back into it Smile

officelady · 18/06/2013 06:34

How was your fit test, vitocorleone? Mine was okay, still horrifically hard though! I did better on all the moves, some more so than others! I was determined to beat my first fit test results so I did nearly die afterwards.
Onwards and upwards - I have done my plyo circuit for today, not looking forward to tomorrow because it's Pure Cardio AND Cardio Abs. If I don't manage to get up early enough I might have to do one before work and one after. At the moment my alarm goes off at 5am and I leap* into my sports bra and trainers, I'm not getting up any earlier than 5 o'clock! I'm usually home from work by 4.30pm so I could squeeze another session in before I have to get the dinner on. 4.30pm is usually my time for a cuppa and a biscuit though so I'd rather get it out of the way before work if possible. We shall see!

*by leap, I mean struggle in a bleary-eyed fashion

VitoCorleone · 17/06/2013 12:59

I took 'before' pictures and wrote down my measurements so i can compare when im finished.

Officelady thats great!! Well done you!

Fit test today!!

OP posts:
Mitchy1nge · 16/06/2013 16:58

that is great, well done! I didn't think to take measurements

out of sync with the calendar, exercising at home is fucking difficult with constant interruptions and my mood is all over the place Confused

notyummy · 16/06/2013 16:25

Brilliant results officelady.

officelady · 16/06/2013 11:42

I'm talking to myself on here but anyway I had to share my exciting news - I have measured myself this morning and I have lost an inch off my waist, hips and each thigh. This pleases me greatly!
Rest day today - 2 weeks completed, 7 to go.

officelady · 14/06/2013 07:04

My appetite has increased too, but I've just gone with it - we must be burning shitloads of calories!
Did Cardio Power & Resistance this morning, I decided to try extra hard and gave myself a stitch during the warmup! Hahaha!
I forgot to add yesterday, I did the cardio recovery DVD with the music off, for a lot of the moves I wasn't looking at the TV screen and it was lovely listening to Shaun doing his heavy breathing and saying in... out ... in .... out ... etc. #pervert

Mitchy1nge · 13/06/2013 20:44

that hold and pulse is a fucker isn't it

I forgot about insanity since this morning, it's making me eat three times as much as usual Hmm

officelady · 13/06/2013 20:37

Hello everyone, I'm glad to see we are all still persevering with this!
I'm sticking religiously to my calendar so today was cardio recovery, I enjoyed the feeling of not being out of breath but by god those squat and lunge holds go on for ever and ever! I was decidedly wobbly of leg afterwards!!
I'm looking forward to Sunday - I'm going to weigh & measure myself to see if I've changed shape or weight.

VitoCorleone · 13/06/2013 12:09

Im thinking of doing Pure Cardio again tonight then do Cardio Recovery after it. Just because ive been slacking this week so want to catch up.

OP posts:
Mitchy1nge · 13/06/2013 11:13

cardio recovery irritated me to DEATH this morning

am addicted to the bouncier ones I think Blush

VitoCorleone · 13/06/2013 10:02

Just seen the infomercial for Insanity, its re-motivated me to just get on and DIG DEEP.

Theres a slo-mo shot of Shaun T doing a push up, dripping with sweat - wow, made me go all funny Grin

OP posts:
notyummy · 13/06/2013 08:31

Still callenetics here although DVD still not arrived. I dream of the day that I am cleared by the doc for vigorous activity like Insanity again. Keep going all- you can do it!

VitoCorleone · 13/06/2013 07:44

I think my favourite so far is cardio power and resistance, i like pure cardio but had to take a lot of breaks.

OP posts:
Mitchy1nge · 12/06/2013 21:52

brilliant, well done

I LOVE plyometric, it's perfect for me, all that leaping about but am not a fan of pure cardio

cardio recovery tomorrow, it's a day off isn't it? Grin

wonder how officelady is and whether notyummy is getting stuck in to her Callanetics
