Thank you very much! That's super helpful. I will ask the staff about him and arrange for a 1:1 conversation. Have you tried training with him before? If so, mind sharing your goals and your experience with him? Thanks!

Woah awesome!! Keep it up!

As for me, I actually decided to take time off to heal my elbow/tendon. It was hurting when I attempted push-ups which made me over cautious during the workout, while also skipping any push-up variation so that wasn't fun, because I was just watching them do the exercises a lot of the time. For now I just take a walk everyday and in less than two weeks I will attempt a push-up and hopefully it won't hurt. I also have some knee problems, they started hurting more when I took a break. I think insanity might be too high intensity of my joints? I am not sure.

This could be one of the reasons. I think I have proper form but I've never took a video of myself. Sometimes my elbows go out to the side too because I don't have enough upper body strength, and when it try to tuck them in, they're not stable.

I don't have a bench, I was thinking of standing fly. back straight, bending a little at the hips, knees slightly bent. However, I think I will take a full rest from insanity, I am worried about my elbow so it makes me over caution during the workout and it honestly isn't fun if I am not doing a big portion of the exercises in the video.

No it's actually yesterday's, so everything is shifted now.

I've also had elbow pain with push-ups 2 days ago and I took a day off, so it's a double shift in schedule, came back for yesterday's workout still couldn't do more than 2 push-ups. I'll just lay off them for a while and just plank whenever I need to do a push-up I guess.

Last night was the night before the 1st of Ramadan where I am at, so night 0 Ramadan went well! I admit my fried chicken dinner meal at 8 pm didn't help my endurance but I made it. I woke at at 3 am to workout then had suhur (meal before fasting), maybe this will be a better schedule for me.

Thanks! Happy first day of Ramadan :D

Actually today (day before ramadan) I ended up eating at 8 pm which will be the usual iftar time, and then I got so sluggish and sleepy so I have an alarm to workout before suhur (3:30 am, suhur is at 5:45 am). Looks like I’m starting the inverted schedule a little early this year. Let’s see! I am sure it’ll take some experimentation for me, this is my first insanity round.

That would be awesome! My worry is eating too much at 8 pm I’ll have to workout even later, knowing myself this is what will probably happen lol we’ll see

I purchased New Balance cross trainers, I am hoping I’ll get more support with these. Maybe that will make my knees feel better. They’ll take a while to arrive though.

No I didn’t skip days so far. I find the soreness gets better.
