Big girls VS Insanity?

tlccarie

I consider myself athletic and in decent shape,yet back on myfitnesspal to once again get off the 10# that have crept back on. I did "Insanity" in June and did not lose a pound or feel like I gained any strength or toning. I appreciate a good muscle burn when exercising and I felt like my muscles never 'burned', they just stopped working which would cause me to stop for the last few reps a couple of times a workout. It was a very different kind of fatigue and I don't think that it benefitted me at all, except to get a cardio workout. I can get just as effective of a cardio workout on a run which doesn't require me to hop up and down and support my 'jarring' weight on my wrists and hands as I 'hit the floor and propel back up again'. My very athletic 15 year old daughter did the workouts with me and is now in physical therapy for knee issues that I believe are partly due to these videos and the 'hit the floor/propel back up' moves. I would suggest trying the Firm videos, check your local library... great for cardio and weight training...
