Insanity spam
Replies

Absolutely. They talk about how they use beach body and shakeology, and what incredible results they get. Tells you a lot about a product or company when they use deciet to hawk their wares.0

They like to try and make you feel like crap if you don't want what they are selling too. That insanity workout is costly. They make it seem like it is the only work out in the world that could be beneficial. I have heard it is very hard on the knees. I watched a few of the work outs on you tube and realized that if even the people in the video were having trouble doing this work out then something must be wrong. I certainly don't think that ruining my body in the name of fitness is a good idea.0

Nope I see your point loud and clear. I see it as an excuse. ...and no I don't work for them LOL Good day!0 -
So because I do a workout other than insanity I am making excuses? Wow. You are ridiculous.

You miss the point as well. This is not a matter of whether it works, but a matter of the insanity and shakeology spammers here.0 -

Sigh you are missing my point. Good day Ms. Knox.0 -
I don't think anybody has missed your point. Yeah, the spammers are a damn pain in the *kitten*, but it doesn't discredit the whole program. As for the people in the video that have to break.....that doesn't tell me that it's too hard on your body, it just tells me it's hard. If it was easy, everybody would be a size 6. But, what do I know? I just finished a round of it. It was hard, but most definitely not impossible. I did nothing other than insanity and count calories and lost 22 pounds in 2 months.
So, basically, if you don't want to do insanity, then don't do it. Pick another program. No harm, no foul!0 -
^^ yup!! i have your point! I think you will find any kind of people and opinions here! but Im not ruining my body with this program !!0
-
Oh no, I get your point. YOU are accusing me of making excuses because I don't want to do this PARTICULAR workout. That's just sad.

I get what you are sayin. The spam is stupid. That was the point.
Obviously the program works, like most any of them. People immediately jump to defend the ones they like.
Cheers.0 -
Here is the one I got just this week...one of many "people" interesetd in my workouts.I have been using Beach body workout and drinking shakeolgy. right now i am doing hip hop abs . going to start insanity here soon . and i walk some too . and watch what i eat . I also have turbo jam . and i also use walking off the pounds and that one is not beach body . i love the shakes thought .0

I see the self righteous are out in full force today. I watched this workout on you tube. I know that with my bad knee I would not be able to do this with out making it worse. I often wonder how the snobs here really treat people face to face. Certainly you all really don't go out into the world looking down your long noses at others for not allowing you to decide what they do. PFFFFT... It never ends in cyberspace.0

I don't think the key is to use any particular program. I think the key is finding a program that you enjoy and works well for you. It really is such a simple thing....move more, eat less.0 -
I get messages from people trying to get me to do beachbody and posting their spam ads on my blog. I tried to address it but my request fell on deaf ears.0

Why does struggling with a workout mean there is something "wrong". My daughter does Insanity. She says she can't finish it yet and both loves and hates that . Loves the results, hates that it's hard.
She thinks me (her old mom) should try it so it can't be that bad.0 -
They're just trying to make money and they do that by being exactly what they are, salesmen.
So they're going to promise the world and tell you so many things, which, I mean they cant go wrong, anyone who sticks to any program is going to lose the weight.0 -

Here is an exchange from today:
"I saw thta you were interested in Insanity. The only place you can get a legit copy is Beachbody. I am a rep for them so if you need more info, let me know :-) "
"Oh, sorry. I'm not really gonna be able to afford that. They need to do something about that price tag. Thanks anyway. "
"Ok then, obviously, you are not ready. I am here if you ever decide that you are :-)
Just ask yourself this....do you spend money on ANYTHING you don't really NEED?? Most people do, even when they are broke. I know I am guilty.
If those items are more of a priority than your health, you may want to rethink your priorities, just saying."

My responsePreviously c||XXXXXXXXX wrote: so have you ever thought about trying any work out types off beach body ?
Nah. My first love (and first degree) is body weight/body resistance fitness, so I do all my own workouts from calisthenics movements. I modfiy and improve them from there. That way I can challenge myself as I want. I don't have any issue with those programs and such, but I can do all of it on my own.0 -
I just delete em and move on. Can't afford that stuff. I like the workouts though.0

Gonna have to agree with the guy on this one. Maybe you're making excuses, maybe you're not, but you sure sound like you are. I suggest being more clear in the future if that's not the case.
But to your original point, you can block people who PM you. I would just block them if they are bugging you.0 -

Got that a few times too.0 -
Yeah, that is a pretty obnoxious exchange. I think you will find annoying people with any approach though...
Don't eat carbs.
Lifting heavy is the only way.
Try advocare.
Eat clean.

The point is mostly the spammers here, posting bait threads so they can harass us in private messages when we respond. The point of a work out is to challenge the body, but not every workout is good for everyone. Just because someone does not do THIS workout does not mean they are not doing something beneficial.0 -

Oh, by the way, you can get in trouble for publicly posting private messages on the forums. If your Insanity person saw this and wanted to report you, you could very well get a strike. Just so you know.0 -
Ignoring messages and blocking users is always helpful....when you respond you open yourself up to the dialogue.0
