    My over all health isn't the best. I've been on this journey to get
    In shape for years. I'm determined to put all effort in so I can
    Get the body I desire. I've heard a lot about insanity . How its
    An intense workout program, you sweat like crazy , and that it is
    Very difficult at times. I want to try the 60 day program , but I
    Don't know if I should begin doing small exercises for a month to
    Get me warmed up for the 60 day challenge.
    Any advice?
    Does insanity real work ?
    Is it to challenging for beginners ?
    Should I start with another less intense program first?

    Insanity is working for me at the moment. I was 17st 11lb when I started it three weeks ago, I'm now 17st 3lb and I've gone down half an inch on my waist. I've also noticed I'm a lot fitter and stronger as well. I was also a beginner and I really struggled with a lot of the exercises, now I can do most of them and I can keep up with them.

    I'm not going to lie, it's challenging but that's a good thing. If it's not challenging, you're not working your body enough. Not challenging to the point where you injure yourself but challenging enough to break a sweat. I just dived straight in but then again, I did go to the gym. Not as much as I am now but still, I do exercising. I'd recommend it. The only problem is boredom, which is something I'm going through right now. The novelty kind of wears off but I just remember why I'm doing it and I do it and get the job done! :)

    Good luck!

    I took care of a 40 plus woman yesterday who started Insanity January 1st. She was over 200 pounds, not a regular exerciser and has lost 20 pounds. She also is eating smaller portions of food, but I was so impressed with her and envied her. Go for it! :bigsmile:

    Go for it and see what your limitations are and you'll be surprised what you can do

    I have not done insanity but when I first started I did Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. It's a 30 minute workout with three levels. You can stay on each level until you feel you are ready for the next. You get introduced to different workouts and I thought it was a good Kick-Start. Zumba is also fun. I have just recently started. It's a ton of cardio but takes a couple of times of going to get the moves down. But if you like dancing and music it's another great thing to do.
