I get a strong knee pain from time to time (mainly during the warm ups) of insanity. It's my left knee, and I tore my ACL in my right knee 2 years ago. Im not sure if it's just the fact my left leg is weaker, or i put too much weight on it. Should i consider buying an IT compression band for the knee brace for the left knew?

    I know nothing about knee braces or torn ACL's, but I know that Insanity period is rough on the knees. I had bad knee problems my first go at Insanity. I stopped until they were better. I got new sneakers (nike cross trainers) and the next time I tried, I had no knew pain. I would consider buying whatever brace you can to help with your knee, the correct sneakers are very important, make sure that form is good and you are not landing hard when doing jumps and maybe try padding underneath your feet.

    Those are just some of the options I was told when I had knee problems. It helped for me.
