Insanity

Is anyone on here currently doing INSANITY? I would love to suffer through this with a couple other people rather than being in agony all by myself

Not doing it but best of luck!

How did it work out for you? Did you make great progress?

I'm starting Focus T25 today and plan Insanity for after I finish it. Best of luck with it!

I did the Alpha round of T25 twice, its no joke either. It's a great workout.

Hey I'm starting insanity today, let's suffer together

50extra

Oh and suffer we shall!

Are you literally just starting today with the fit test? Or are you already done the fit test and starting the actual workouts? Either way good luck!

I'm only on day 4 and I watched the video earlier, looks like its more squats a planks to further destroy my already destroyed legs and mid section.

nmartinrio710

Yeah literally doing my fit test today, I started once before, got to week three but I had an injury (not caused by insanity) and had to stop, finally back!
Let's keep each other motivated through the pain haha

Sounds like a good plan, thanks for the friend add. Check in here when your done and let me know how it went. I'm pretty out of shape but we can always compare fitness tests and see how each person is progressing, my original numbers are pretty low

I have cardio recovery tonight. I was all pumped about it until I quickly scrolled through the workout and seen all of the squats, squat holds, and squat thrusts, followed by lunges, lunge holds, and lunch thrusts. It's already painful to walk and I'm not going to comment on trying to sit down on the toilet.

My bad knee doesn't like Insanity.

I can completely understand that. My knees don't like jumping too much either.

I'm doing Insanity right now :-) friend me!

So last night for me was cardio recovery and it wasn't too bad at all. Other than the deep slow squats and lunges with the pulses and holds the rest wasn't too bad and actually gave my legs a bit of time to recover. Today I am still in pain when I walk but I don't physically have to limp from DOMS.

I'm sure with the day off yesterday, the planned workout tonight is going to be "special" and I'm going to feel the same tomorrow as I have been all week. Regardless, I am excited to get through it and get to the point where my muscles don't constantly hurt.

How did everyone else to today? Which workout did you do and how did you find it?

Well, no joke at all! Did the first 2 work outs, one yesterday and one today and boy! Shaun T really knows how to push you! I also watched the full body circuit and I think I'm gonna die when I do this one. lol

I'll keep an eye on this thread to see how you go with Insanity if you don't mind me lurking

Yeah no problem at all, feel free to post in here about T25 too.

So last night in Insanity was Pure Cardio and it was fantastic. It was the first time since I started that I was happy with the amount of work I was able to put in. It was also the first time that I made it all the way through the warm up and to the stretching without stopping. I didn't realize that there were no breaks in it and had to stop several times through the workout, the nice part was watching the machines stop too so it must be hard for people that are in top shape too.

I am actually looking forward to the next time I get to do this DVD now that I know what it has in it.

The good news is the muscle soreness in my entire body is starting to go away and that means that week two should be much more enjoyable than week one.

Very excited to keep moving forward.

I completed the program almost twice. My soreness went away after week two. I still do insanity but only 1-2x / wk. Loved it

I'm only in week 1 but can't wait to get to month 2. All of the transformation videos I have seen seem to have the biggest changes there.

My husband and I are about to start Insanity together, just waiting on the package to come in the mail! Feel free to add me

Last night was day 6 and the Plyometric cardio circuit. It was honestly harder this time around then the first time. The reason is this time I was able to complete many more of the exercises and it was much harder on my body. So it is a win/lose situation, the better I get at it the more I have to do. I feel great now though and my legs are feeling much better with only minimal soreness.

I am supposed to have a rest day tonight but will not be taking it. I will start into day 8 tonight. I have a celebration to go to this Sunday, by not taking the rest day it allows me to miss Cardio Recovery rather than Plyometric Cardio Circuit.

Bring on week 2!

Oh yeah, and I realized last night I didn't bring in the Cardio abs workout so I'm going to have to substitute Insane Abs

torrielewis1991

I'm almost done with week 2 and have already lost an inch off my lower belly, I love the work out most sweating I've ever done

ericar21

i am currently switching between insanity and insanity max 30. 2 fav workouts!

singletrackmtbr

Insanity and Max 30 veteran. Shaun T is the man.

After you finish these try The Asylum 1 and 2. Absolutely ruthless. I noticed Shaun T yells at me a lot more in this program.

I'm currently doing a hybrid of Asylum 1 and 2 and the original Insanity, wrapped around traditional strength training days. To complete it all will take about 4 months...

Good luck!

Liz890

I have been doing Insanity also. I'm just finishing up week 2. I believe their is an abs DVD on the schedule for tonight. I have a feeling this will be a painful workout for me!

Has anyone tried Shakeology? Beachbody is always promoting it but ... i'm cheap lol

50extra

I had Cardio Power and resistance last night and man I am feeling it today. Great workout and left me in a puddle of sweat but my back is feeling it and my legs as well. Tonight is pure cardio

@Liz890 I have no tried Shakeology and never will. I hate their advertising so much because all of the transformation videos make it sound like its impossible to see results without taking it. They play it off like like its the magic pill to weight loss and its not. Even if it is a really high quality product, I refuse. Also I think its about 4x too much money.

@singletrackmtbr Those workouts are scary to even think about. As far as I am concerned Insanity is ruthless. I am no where near even being able to finish a workout without stopping but then again I still have over 50 days to complete the program.

@torrielewis1991 After week two were you able to see big changes in your fit test?

ericar21

yes i have. it tastes amazing. my fav is the vanilla flavor. it tastes like cake batter. the caffe latte is pretty good too! i feel so full after i drink them. there is a 7 day sampler available online at beach body.com
