No. No. No. Close my ears! Hide my eyes! Did you just ask what is Insanity? LMAO--I'm joking. It's a workout from Beachbody. I put the link below if you wanna see:

Is the Insanity workout supposed to be harder or easier than P90X?
my husband already has that workout...so I don't wanna buy it if it's really similar.
Thanks!0 -

I don't know. They are both really different. I believe P90X is more strength, where as Insanity is more cardio. I have a friend who has done 3 rounds of P90X, and after he finishes Rush Fit, we're going to trade (Rush Fit for Insanity). Hope that helps.0 -

I have done both programs and while Mike is correct in the fact that they are completely different. In my opinion Insanity was much harder.0 -

Let me know how Rush Fit is.0 -
Stooooo- I still have 6 1/2 weeks of Insanity. He just started Rush Fit, and I believe it's a 60 day program. So if we do the swap, it won't be until Summertime. But if I do it, I will definitley post up a thread on it.
So you really believe Insanity is harder? Damn!!! In my head I was 100 times more afraid of P90X!!! Maybe I'll have to do that too!!!
How many samples you got left??????? lol0 -
Ok, it's o-friggin-fficial...I can not do Pure Cardio in the mornings. I (1) felt like I was gonna die, (2) felt dizzy at one point...think I got up too fast (3) wondered what the hell I had gotten myself into and almost shut Shaun T and the stupid DVD down. But...the fact that I'm knee deep in it AND that I'm ready to bust out of the 260's kept me going. If it wasn't for that, Shaun T and his Pure Cardio would be in the back of a dusty basement corner. LOL
Hope everyone is doing well today!0 -
Road - I am so scared of the pure cardio ={
Day 4 today.0 -
So last night I did the first workout, and holy crap. I definitely overestimated my fitness level lol. When I watched it yesterday morning just to see what they did, I was like well, I won't be able to go as fast as they do but I'll just go my own very slow pace. Yea no, there was a bunch that I ended up having to modify so that I was still working out but not doing what they were doing,a nd I remember at one point towards the end I just jogged in place for an entire interval because I just could not do anything else lol. I hurt sooo bad right now and I'm supposed to get up ina minute and do the cardio & resistance...I have no idea how I'm going to do this when I can barely sit down to pee lol.0

LMAO! I made the mistake of watching it first too. You are like "Oh ok, that's fine. I can probably keep up." Ummm....no. LOL0 -

I'm on day 4, so I'm righ there with you at the beginning. I am in SO much pain.. I laid on the floor during some of them so dont feel bad for still jogging LOL I will say once you get back into it tonight you will feel better once your muscles get warmed up...but then tomorrow....well....I hope you dont have any stairs.0 -
I think it was harder for me because cardio is probably my weakness. I could do strength training every day of the week if it was ok to do. Don't get me wrong P90X kicked my *kitten*, but Insanity kicked my *kitten* and then kicked it again!!
GO FLYERS!!!! SABERS SUCK!!!!!!
@BFL make sure you are having a recovery drink with in 30 minutes of completing your work out.0 -

haha thanks. Live in the UK and we get nothing good. I had to get my brother to buy Turbo Jam for me in Canada and ship it here!! ugg0 -
So did my 2nd day workout and there was definitely a lot more pausing of the dvd than there was yesterday lol. All I can say is, I may not be able to do as many as them, or do it was fast as them, but I'm still doing it damn it!
I think I may start back doing 30mins on the elliptical as well, with me not moving as fast as them I don't feel like I'm getting the cardio I need, at least until I can build up to a good pace. 0 -

LOL Way to go--just keep going. You're awesome0 -
Did cardio recovery yesterday. I feel AWESOME today. I actually liked that one. I like the slow movements and deep stretches. My body certainly needed it after the intense first 3 days. Pure cardio tonight. Oh boy!!!0
-
Cardin Recovery today, and man did I need it! 2 and 1/2 weeks in and my legs are toast. I think I could actually do more, if my legs felt better. They are just exhausted! 2 more days till rest day! I can't wait. And that means 1 week and 2 days till Recovery Week! And then....hell! Lol...I really hope I can finish. I want my t-shirt! Lol. Glad to hear everyone is doing well. Keep up the great work! We are all in this together! Great job everyone!
@Stoooo- recovery shake? I either drink my Muscle Milk shake, or eat dinner......depends on where my workout falls.0 -
Today was my recovery day, and I feel great after that! It was definitely still tough. when you have to hold the squat or lunge omg my thighs were burning. But it was definitely a recovery, now I'm still sore but not so much that I can barely move. Unfortunately, I watched the Pure Cardio that I have to do tomorrow and omg, kinda made me want to cry lol. About 10 mins into the actual workout I was like um...where are the 30 second breaks??!! The dude just keeps going! Ah, it's gonna kill me. My birthday is tomorrow too so yea, happy birthday to me lol.0
-
Woke up early and worked out. My legs felt a little better (which I was surprised at). But mornings are really not my thing. I just could not push myself hard enough (in my opinion). But it was better than the alternative, which would have been working out at 9 tonight! One more day till rest day (well, at least from working out) and then I'm on vacation!!!!! I can't wait! I should be able to work out whenever (although I'm supposed to be going to my S-I-L's for 2 days....shave to figure out how to squeeze workouts in. Catch up with all of you later! Keep up the great work!0
-
Did Pure Cardio last night. Wasn't HORRIBLE, but I hurt my hip and couldn't push through the last half of it...I think I over stretched it. It is feeling better this morning so I'm really hoping to push hard tonight....then tomorrow is my rest day. Can't wait! I do feel my energy and stamina increasing each day.0
-
Did my pure cardio today. I have to admit, I didn't push my hardest, between me having a cold and it being my birthday, my heart wasn't in it. But, I still feel like I had a good workout, still tired as hell and muscles are burnin lol.0
-
Woke up, worked out, got my *kitten* handed to me, and the rest is history. LOL
Can I just say that I am sooooooooo friggin glad that tomorrow is my LAST day this week of Insanity? Like for realz. I love the workout and it's become like a crazy insane habit now, but man I don't want to look at Shaun T's face one more day. Hahhahahahaha Yay Sundays!0 -
Yes! Yes! Yes! Made it through 3 weeks of Insanity. Tomorrow is day off day!!!! Oh yeeeeeyaaaaaahhhhh0

I am with you!!!! Finished Week 3 this morning. My legs felt a little better, but they still kept me from finishing some of the exercises. My arms for that matter too!!! Between Level 1 Drills, Ski Abs, and In and Outs, it was either my legs giving out, or my arms that could no longer hold me up!!! My cardio isn't the problem, it's the damn muscle fatigue. One more week of hell!!! And then recovery week!!!!! YAY!!!! And then.....4 weeks, of even worse hell!!! Can't believe I've made it 3 of 9 weeks.. 6 more to go for my t-shirt!!! I really want rhat thing!!! Is it just me????????? lol
Did the workout at 9 am today, figured this way, I got the rest of the day, and all of tomorrow to rest before Week 4. Glad to hear you're all still killing it. Keep up the great work everybody!!!0 -

Duuuude! Me too! Lord knows that my quads were friggin on FIRE during that Ski Abs and crap. Ugh! My 10 yr old does it with me and even he was laid out in the floor and he plays football, baseball, and basketball back to back!
I looked over the recovery week workout and it's soooo much easier--well not easy but you know what I mean. I can't WAIT!0 -
Week 1 done! It really sounds like a small thing but I'm really feelin great about getting through this first week lol and so happy to be on my rest day. And skolls, I definitely know what you mean with those three exercises. It's always my arms for me, I can't hold myself up for 3 back to back plank intervals lol. I was cussing at Shawn T last night, like dude, you could have split up the plank exercises or something.
Congrats again to you both for finishing up week 3! When you get started, youhave to let me know how the 2nd month is, I'm scared to even watch it to see lol.0 -
Congrats Casey! You are now officially In-friggin-sane. LOL
Ok ya'll--tomorrow it's going doooowwwwn. Week 4 is ON! Grrrrrrrrrrr.0 -
Ok, I'm going to be so honest right now: I woke up at 4 a.m. by picking up my phone and answering it thinking that my alarm clock was my phone ringing. When I realized that's how out of it I was, I said Shaun T could suck it and went back to sleep. LOL So I'll be hitting day 19 this afternoon when I'm not so out of touch with reality. Hahahahaha
For all of those early risers who conquered Insanity this a.m., congrats!0
