Just started insanity today and it kicked my butt! Gonna try to dig deep and get this thing done. I am looking for people out there around my age that are doing or have done insanity workout before.

    I did insanity a few months ago and I started a second round earlier this week.

    Since I am now 57 - looking back - almost everything I did when I was 20-25 could be classified as insanity.

    I'm 25 and in week 2 of Insanity. I feel like my body is already changing a lot. I started at 217, and today weighed in at 209. :)

    I'm 23 and nearly finished month one of the programme. The scale has not moved at all since starting but my cardio is improving everyday and I'm seeing more muscle definition.

    I finished up insanity about a month ago. I didn't lose any weight, but I dropped three percentage points of body fat and 4" off my waist. My endurance is up. It was a good cutting program, and I have used that to transition to a stronglifts bulking program for the last three weeks. I have progress pictures on my profile if you want them.

    Hi guys, just registered on MFP so not too sure how all this works.

    I'm 23 and just completed the Fitness Test so if anyone has any tips or anything i'd be grateful too. Keeping track of measurements and weight so hopefully i see results. In all honesty, i'm not too fussed about weight watching, if i drop a size or more in clothes then thats motivation enough for me. Checking the scales every two mins cannot be healthy.

    Anyone else starting this who needs or could give motivation, please do message me :)

    I'm 27 ..not to far from 25 but just finished insanity ...it is hard but you keep with it and you will see results ! One big thing I learned is upping my calories in order to have the energy to do the workouts , I ate 1740 a day ...go at your own pace! It will get easier as you learn the moves ....but always go at your own pace !! Here is a link to my success http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1083758-insanity-results-9-weeks

    The most important thing is to watch your form. Bad form is the main cause of injury on insanity (particularly bad squat form). If you feel yourself losing form, stop, fix it, and get back into the workout. Don't be afraid to stop when you need to. You won't be able to keep up with the people in the video, and that's okay. They're pros (spinning instructor, marathoner, etc.) and even they have to stop and take a breather from time to time. Take a few seconds, catch your breath, then jump back in. Don't worry about the scale. You're going to retain water initially since insanity is so intense, and this often causes a weight gain. Body measurements will show that this is a weight gain but not a fat gain. Dig deeper, and good luck.

    Make sure you eat enough calories to fuel the workouts! Sometimes you think you are eating enough but in actual fact you are no where near it. Also make sure to monitor your progress, you'll be amazed at how much you progress and how much your image changes, make sure to keep a copy of all photos. I used Insanity Log app on the iPhone and logged my measurements and photos on it, its great to now look back at the photos and see what I used to be like! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/insanity-log/id677364994?ls=1&mt=8

    Hi! Although I'm ever-so-slightly over your requested age range (at an ancient 26), I'm a fellow Insaniac.

    First time round I don't think I was prepared for the muscle soreness and only made it to the end of the first month. Since then I pick it up every now and then as part of my exercise regime (but also do a lot of other forms of exercise). I'd advise you to listen to your body and properly warm up and cool down; I sometimes do extra stretching afterwards as the DOMS can get really bad!

    Also if you have any pre-existing knee, ankle or back problems, go a bit easy at first until you get the correct form.

    Good luck with it! I'd love to maybe see if I can do the programme beginning to end with no gaps this time round, so feel free to add me! :-)

    Yes. Make sure you get one with a chest strap that you can wear comfortably while moving. It should be able to be customized for age, gender, height and weight to get accurate results. Beyond that, it comes down to preferences and desired features. A lot fo people recommend the polar brand.
