      so... I went to your profile. and I see that you don't agree with a gender binary. good on you.

      the only thing you're right about is that there is no quick fix.

      I also see that you've never been fat. so, excuse me if I don't take your word for it and I go looking for all of the amazing ppl on here who HAVE lost hundreds of pounds doing whatever needs to be done. it takes time and effort.

      here's the thing though, if Insanity is the ONLY thing that someone has time for and enjoys doing, and now you - a "trainer" - comes in here spouting that it's dangerous, and they buy that, so they stop. the weight they were losing comes back, and then some (b/c that's how it works on this side of the unfit divide) ... is that BETTER for their joints and their body than Insanity was?

      No workout is useless if someone enjoys doing it.

      Ok, I'm really uncomfortable with Insanity. I think group exercise like that is discouraging people from listening to their bodies.

      I also know a couple of doctors in accident and emergency in hospital and they get plenty of insanity victims.

      Yes there are some great results, it's not 'useless', but after having seen my poor ex mother in law reduced to walking with a stlck for the rest of her life, and in pain, from a over zealous PT, I don't like the idea of competitive group weight training one bit.

      In because the title had a couple CAPPED WORDS.

      But the emphasis makes it more LEGIT... right?

      Yes you did read correctly Insanity and all other Beachbody related products are dangerous and a waste of time and money .

      1) People want to lose weight too quickly its impossible to lose that much weight in such a short period of time before your body goes into "rebound affect " and gains it all back . Successful weight loss is a long term effort not a stupid quick fix like Insanity. Obese people want to buy their health hoping for a quick return rather than putting in the work more in the longterm .

      2) Its bad for your joints especially your knees !

      Fat loss is a long term solutions you average americans want to shift 100 lbs of fat in 3 month it aint gunna happen its a commitment for life not 3 months

      Oh and imagine that...those programs also come with warnings, just like anything else. Hmmmmm...

      I have Insanity though I haven't tried it, but I've completed the Turbo Fire schedule and had great results. I am always careful of form to protect my knees, but my 52 yo knees experienced no problems.

      I decreased by BF% and increased endurance. And, it's hard to argue that plyometrics is not good for my perimenopausal bones. All of which = useful, not useless.

      Blanketly deeming something useless and dangerous because some people might use it to over train is ridiculous. Using that logic, weight lifting would be one of the most dangerous and useless exercises out there. Very easy to hurt yourself with bad form or over train with weights.

      Don't blow my cover! People may think this kind of muscle gain is easily doable if they know I'm a dolphin.

      I dunno. I always wondered what people were going on about on here, Insanity this and Insanity that...then I saw an ad in a magazine this weekend for it, a bunch of discs and booklets...screams HSN fad to me. F that noise.

      yes, but IT'S more fun TO cap THE words needing no emphasis
