    "within 24 short weeks I gained 41 pounds of drug-free muscle." ... sure you did, and I'm actually an owl who types, talks and lifts weights.

    Shouldn't you be a dolphin? :huh:

    From the Desk of Vince Delmonte

    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.

    In for judgmental attitudes and negativity...

    In because the title had a couple CAPPED WORDS.

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

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