    If you wanna get some nice cardio and a lean body go for it, but p90x will produce better results IMO. Hope this helped :)

    It truly kicks your butt. I did the fit test and was sore for 4 days then did the cardio and was out for another 2 days, it is not worth that to me. I knew that I should have bought the p90x.

    I love Insanity! I just started week 2 and it is so hard, but after your workouts I feel so great! I am very happy with it and my results thus far. You should definitely try it! (:

    Insanity is great! Fast paced so you never get bored (I found I did when doing P90X), and a great quick cardio workout if you need something to vary your workouts with

    Did the insanity for like 2 days a few weeks ago. My wrists were hurting almost like I pinched a nerve or something. When I was in my 20's (before I stopped working out) this would have been great but now in my late 30's I'd rather do something a little more toned down so I don't break something.

    I've done insanity several times, great cardio. Age is no limiting factor! Know your limits and if you have soreness issues get a recovery (post workout) drink. Recommeded if you havent done intense exercise for a while. Take breaks when you need to...and by the end of week two, you'll be amazed at how you feel.

    I have done a full cycle. I enjoyed them. Lost some weight; about 8lbs.

    If you have bad knees, this can be a problem, especially with all the plyometrics.
    Invest in a a good pair of cross-trainers as well.

    Good luck if you do it! :smile:

    Insanity is great and you will lose weight. However, if you have any injuries or issues such as knees..forget it. You can take some of the exercises and do at your own pace but you wont get the same results. I felt that over 35 its hard on the joints.

    Be very careful. I hurt my knee doing it and couldn't work out for a month.

    If you love cardio - Insanity is where it is at! google insanity before and after pics and you will see the amazing results ppl have had!! and there is no equipment required except for some way to play the DVD's and whatever clothing you want to wear. It truly is an amazing workout.

    just finished week 3.. it will kick your butt..just do it at your own pace.. when you need a break..take one and catch your breath then pick up again. Even on the DVD they have to take extra breaks too...

    Started in February, gonna keep going til December. It works. Stick to the macros, avoid that Harris-Benedict equation nonsense.

    Gonna hit up Asylum next year.
