Insanity spam

I am currently in month 2 week 2 of Insanity. Please don't put down something you have never tried. I am a 48 year old woman and I'm getting into the best shape of my life.

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.

I am currently in month 2 week 2 of Insanity. Please don't put down something you have never tried. I am a 48 year old woman and I'm getting into the best shape of my life. Is Insanity for everyone? Of course not. Is it hard. VERY! But it works for the majority of the people who try it. Including me. Yes it is pricey, but so was eating all the crap I was shoving down my throat daily. I tell people about Insanity every chance I get because IT WORKS. I have both bad knees and a hurt back from a car accident and I still can do it. Some things I modify but most I do not. Into my last 3 weeks and I have yet to ruin my body. In fact I plan to start it again once this 60 is over.

And I am NOT a beach body coach

Am I the only one that finds it hilarious when people get so bent out of shape when someone give an opposing critique of their exercise routine.

the problem lies in the fact that some have such a strong disdain for something they have never personally tried. I feel in order to have an honest opinion on something, one should at least have tried it. How else would a person know if something is good/effective? Or bad/ineffective? Just a thought.

And I don't think it's worth getting bent out of shape over..

Everyday there is a multi paragraph letter that can be summed up as "how dare you not like/believe in/see something that can be changed at all in my workout"

lol I'm doing Insanity with a bad knee and I have had no problem so I find this interesting. Anyone who disagrees with the OP gets told they missed the point haha
How will Insanity ruin your body? How do you not like it when you haven't tried it?
A workout with the people struggling shows that it's not fake and clipped together, they are actually feeling the burn. Makes me feel like they are feeling it like i'm feeling it.

If you have an issue with spammers report them or complain about spammers don't start bashing a program you haven't tried.

I don't care who DISAGREES. But to make personal attacks and insults is absurd. That is what the problem is. And actually, the original post is about the spam, not the work out. The details that followed were going into the harassment you get from the ones who post bait threads and them send PM's to peddle their wares. I have blocked and blocked and blocked these people. They are a dime a dozen just like any other spammer. It is one thing to make an honest and upright effort to sell your goods, it is another to send harassing messages and insult the person who attempted to politely decline the offer. The trouble is, you never know what your getting until you open the message. The subject line is not always an indicator of content. The ones who came in here trying to skewer me for not getting into what they like are the instigators of hostility. I only gave my opinion here, I did not attack anyone until they came at me first. Telling me I am making excuses because I do a different workout? Really. Let's all try to get out of the third grade mentality. This is supposed to be a helpful forum, not what it gets turned into by the arrogant and self righteous.
FURTHER, I know my body. I have a knee that is not up for this kind of exercise. So bring all the "I have a bad knee and I do this work out". Who cares? Unless you live in MY body and know what I have going on with MY knee, you can't say we have the same problem. Not all knee problems are created equal. There can be more than one kind of problem and problems of varying severity. People came to attack and for no other reason.

People get so stuck in their "thing" that they think it is the only way in the world. No one is obligated to TRY anything. That is what is wrong with MFP actually. Too many people out here putting others down for not doing it the way they do. Not every work out is for everyone and that's a fact. Trying to force something that someone has no interest in is obnoxious. I don't care who like the insanity workout. It's your business if you like that. It's my business if I don't. To each his own.
