Insanity Work-Out Input

I would consult with your doctor. Most of the workouts are filled with lots of jumping. If you feel like you can do it, I would pay careful attention to form.

I would definatly consult your doctor, if you really really wana do it! see what s/he has to say, but i found mine didnt even know what i was talking about! i have a history of knee weakness from running. My doctor kinda shrugged and said he didnt see why not.

i have compleated insanity twice.....and it is no joke! if your form isnt perfect your gonna run into trouble.i had to stop and restart as the program doesnt explain form much (it expects you to already know, as it is designed for the already fit) so after going at it with bad form i put myself out for months with it. with time i learned proper from through google! then had at it, 7 months later i am over 50lbs lighter.

i personally would not recomend it purly on it high impact. there is a lot of jumping and the intensity isnt diled back at all


If i were you i would look into Focus T25. It is Shaun T's (the insanity guy.....huge fan here) new workout. its high intensity, but it has a modifer if you want to avoid jumping etc. It has got great reviews and has got great results. Also it is creating quite a storm among us Beachbody product users.
I am currently doing t25, it is by no means easy so dont feel as though you would be settling with it....but i think it would suit your medical profile better. Hope this helps and you are happy in whatever you decide.

What they said.... Due to a genetic disorder the two large bones in my left foot fused together; this caused my inner tendon to do all of the work "controlling flexibility" in my foot on its own until one morning I woke up and it felt like someone hit me with a hammer around my ankle. I went to the doctor and the fused bones were discovered... I was in a boot for 4 months followed by 2 months of sneakers w/costume inserts in them. My doctor game me the all clear to workout during the 2 months in sneakers (Apr-May), I took it slow and listed to my body. During that time I did XTrain by www.cathe.com (90 day program) and took it slow adjusting as needed. I'm on week 1 of the 2nd month of Insanity, I have my sneakers w/inserts and take it slow. This entire time I've kept my foot doctor well informed.

My point is: I didn't let fear keep me from what I enjoy doing and that's working out, using intense workout programs. I rest when needed, adjust when needed, and most importantly I listen to my body. If my foot/ankle begin to tense up I walk it out and do low impact version of the workout.
