Anyone else doing/done Insanity? [View all]

I started on 3/26, took 1 rest day, 1 day I substituted with a 60 minute group power and on Easter I skipped Insanity walked a couple miles with my parents. Yesterday I bought a heart rate monitor and started tracking (and started Insanity over from day 1) on the Team Beachbody site to keep me motivated.

I've been up and down with my weight and fitness over the past 10 years or so and I've learned that I need to stay committed to exercise as a lifestyle choice. As soon as I stop trying, my weight and cholesterol skyrocket.

So far my review: it's tough, but that's ok, I am going at my own pace. I LOOOVE that it requires no equipment and that I can do it in my small living room and Shaun T is motivating and nice to look at . I know that it can be hard on the knees, but so far mine are ok. I am more prone to ankle injury but using good shoes, as with any exercise, is key.

I've done months of fitness bootcamps when I was in my best shape a few years ago, but my gym isn't offering it this spring. My brother has had INCREDIBLE long-term success with Insanity so I am giving that a go. Are there any DU Insanity success stories to motivate me?
