I will be starting the insanity max 30 this weekend and curious about people's experiences/success stories. The sessions seem deadly. I need motivation.

    Love the program and did it twice. They are still my "go to" when I can't make it to the gym

    I use insanity as a substitute if I'm not at the gym

    It's a great workout and love that it's 30 min or less. Friday Night is brutal

    It's my go to cardio workout. It's brutal but only 30 mins and Shaun T pushes you through. Use the modifier if needed and keep at it

    I'm starting up on Monday July 10. I started it when it first came out and did not make it past the first month. I am going to do the whole thing this time!

    It jump started my weight loss (I gained 30lb when I stopped doing regular hikes and Insanity classes at my previous job) but more than anything improved my fitness strength and endurance. I could do a lot of other activities like running and lifting that I couldn't before the program. I also started getting definition in my arms for the first time ever. I had lost weight before but always had flabby arms. Max30 was the first work out that ever changed that for me.

    Now I am in love with boxing and it's become a passion. I'm getting a lot more definition. I don't think I would be doing this now though if I hadn't survived Max30 first.

    Yes, I saw a big change in definition and strength. I have 20 kg to lose to pre pregnancy weight with Insanity I lost 4 kg so far the rest I lost with t 25 that I finished prior. I love the program so much, especially the music:))

    @gerla_k I will have to listen better at the music tomorrow as I think my screaming and swearing at the tv might be drowning out the sound ;). Amazing results you had! I did T25 to lose my pregnancy weight from my first. It worked really well with my calorie count. Hoping insanity max will help shred off my 2nd time around pregnancy weight of 20 lbs. Can't hurt to try !

    Lol:) yeah I swer a lot too during his workouts and during push ups make labor noises haha
    Definitely stick with it. In the beginning I could barely do knee pushups my core was so weak, now I can do them no problem, on my knees again but have lots of strength in my arms and core. Love love Shaun T .

    ETA: I lost 9 kg since mid January all thanks to t25 and insanity. I have 11 kg to go:)))

    So happy that you said that about the pushups. I'm actually using my wall to do the push ups or I would still be down in my basement trying to push myself up from the first push up!
    9kg...?!?! That's amazing! !! Great news

    Good thing I workout on my first floor and then just drop dead on my couch :)) thanks, I'm very happy with my results especially that I don't count calories, I do intuitive eating. I eat when I'm hungry in small portions. I used to count calories so I know approximately what and how much to eat. I think I would have bigger loss with calorie counting...
