I am so glad I stumbled on this thread! I am doing Insanity & I LOVE it!!! I just started the 2nd month on Saturday. I am on week 5 day 3. I didn't think it was possible for the workouts to get harder until I got to the Max ones. Wow! They are great & a little longer. I am a little sore again, which I like, its like starting over. June11bride - I am with you. The scale went up for me too. I measured myself when I started but have not taken them again. I am hoping that my body starts to change after the 2nd month since it is more intense. We shall see... I did P90x before Insanity and like that as well. They are 2 completely different workouts but both great in their own way.
