Insanity Question

I'd start again Monday....only because knowing me, I'd lose my motivation after a week!

Good job! and Good luck!

P.S...what's the insanity workout? lol I just do lots and lots of classes at my gym.

Awesome job finishing it, it's tough! You know they just cam out with Insanity Asylum, ment to do once you have finished insanity... but it's all up to you, Like someone else said... if you stop for a week... what if you don't go back to it? Great job!

I would start back with recovery week (i think this is mostly cardio recovery workout) and than get back on the 60 day schedule. It's best if your body gets some time to recover.

Also, I would say do something different like P90X just to challenge your body with different workouts. Though, I have yet to come across a cardio workout more intense than Insanity.

There is also insanity asylum
But I agree with the recovery week first

I agree with this. I just finished 7 months of Insanity. After the first few months I did the Recovery Week each time. Your body needs a little bit of a break.

Insanity is just that Insane!!! I have never stuck to anything like I have with Insanity. I am too scared of P90X. LOL. I might do the recovery week and then hit it hard all over again. I just don't want to lose the momentum that I have now. Thanks for the advice.

One of the guys I work with completed Insanity and now is about a month into P90X, he said insanity makes P90X seem easy. He decided to switch because P90X uses more weights and it will help with building muscle more.

I am on my last week of the Insanity workout. I want to do it again. However I am conflicted. Do I start back on Monday or should I take a week break before I start over? All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

that is awesome! congrats, I'm on week 2, day 2! lol....I completed my first round of P90X on May 9th, took a week off, and started Insanity on Monday May 16th.....If you feel like your body needs a rest, then take some time to let your muscles rest, if not, start back up.....

Great job finishing INSANITY... that program is no joke! I just finished it last Sunday, so here's what I'm doing...

I'm going to be starting P90X on June 27th... I wanted to "gear-up" for the weight training in P90X, so I got the INSANITY Upper Body Weight Training DVD - - - INSANITY-style weight training - - - and I put together my own schedule where I do it three days a week, and then I mix in Max Circ, Max Plyo, and Max Cond, and Max Recovery and a rest day. I didn't want to start INSANITY from the beginning because I thought the month one workouts would seem too easy, and I wanted to start in with some weight training. It's basically circuit training with weights, and includes a little bit of power plyo - - - power jumps, ski abs, etc.

Smilin' because I love it, so far!

Insanity is an at home work out by Shaun T. and produced by Beachbody. It is quite possibly the toughest program ever put on DVD (at least until Insanity: The Asylum came out).

To the OP, take a week off and do some other things. Go for a run, a bike ride, do some yoga. Let your body heal and recover. This way you muscles won't know what hit them when you start back up again.

I would spring for Asylum. It is a great step up from Insanity. But if you are dead set on Insanity I would do a week fo recovery first
