Doing two-a-days

I'm considering doing the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution in the morning and Insanity in the afternoon. Do you think this will increase my overall weight loss? And if I do, do I need to increase my calories? Thanks

    Those are intense workouts so yes, I would increase your calories so that you will have plenty of energy.Lots of protein and complex carbs and drink plenty of water.
    I had a hard time doing Insanity with any other program so don't be surprised if it's a struggle. I had to stop insanity because I am training for a 1/2 and it was affecting my running

    Yes it will increase your weight loss.

    I have no idea what your current fitness level is. Unless your body has been built up to a high level of tolerance for hard workouts, you at a high risk for Over training. Insanity is a tough program by itself. When doing insanity, most people, especially those just starting to exercise, will benefit more from rest / recovery than from a second workout

    Eat enough to keep your weightloss at 2LBS per week or less. Even at that level you are risking loss of LBM

    I've done Insanity before and had great success. I am fairly fit but still fat due to my eating habits. I just want to do what I can to get the fat off!
