Insanity

I'm thinking about buying the Insanity program. Has anyone tried this? If so, how'd you do? Pics would be cool to see progress.

    I'm curious to see some pictures, too! I have some friends (a set of identical twin sisters) from my home town who started the Insanity program after Jillian Michaels got too easy for them. They've posted on facebook a few times that they love the program and how difficult it is, and that the food suggestions are great... But they don't ever post progress pictures. All I know is that they've lost a lot of weight since we were in high school, and they're teeny tiny now, but they still think they're flabby... but that could be more of a mental thing since they spend so many hours watching fitness models doing the workouts.

    There's a thread somewhere with a TON of before/after pics of insanity. Also some of 30 Day Shred. I'm still too fat and out of shape for insanity.. I would kill myself trying that now. I do plan to do it after losing maybe 50 more lbs.
  • If you send me a friend request, you can see my pics. I just finished Insanity two and a half weeks ago and I have a blog post showing my stats, as well. Insanity is a great program and is definitely not for beginners or babies. It's a lot of hard work, effort, and dedication. :-) I also followed the nutrition plan to a T. I did suffer knee injuries during the process but injuries are to be expected when you're working out at that level.

    To me, it's well-worth every minute and penny!

    I'm on week 4 of Insanity - haven't taken any progress pics yet, though. I LOVE it - it's a killer cardio workout, but it's effective and works great! I completed JM 30DS and then RI30 before starting Insanity, don't think I could have gotten through without it!

    I am just finishing month one of Insanity and gearing up for month two. It is the BEST workout that I have ever had. The results are amaaaazing. It is worth it if you stick with it!

    I don't know where you are weight wise, but I'm a little over 200 lbs and I'm 5'2". I started Insanity last week as I've hit a plateau. I've lost 56 lbs already, 36 of them with myfitnesspal and the gym (primarily spinning and weight training classes). I'm on day 5 and it's definitely INSANE! I have a friend who was also around my size that did it about 4 months after having her last child and she looks amazing.

    I bring this up as some may say that you shouldn't start it based on ones weight, but it's really about their level of fitness. Without spinning, I would not have been able to even try this.
