Is insanity to strong to go into for beginners?

My over all health isn't the best. I've been on this journey to get
In shape for years. I'm determined to put all effort in so I can
Get the body I desire. I've heard a lot about insanity . How its
An intense workout program, you sweat like crazy , and that it is
Very difficult at times. I want to try the 60 day program , but I
Don't know if I should begin doing small exercises for a month to
Get me warmed up for the 60 day challenge.
Any advice?
Does insanity real work ?
Is it to challenging for beginners ?
Should I start with another less intense program first?
Insanity is working for me at the moment. I was 17st 11lb when I started it three weeks ago, I'm now 17st 3lb and I've gone down half an inch on my waist. I've also noticed I'm a lot fitter and stronger as well. I was also a beginner and I really struggled with a lot of the exercises, now I can do most of them and I can keep up with them.
I'm not going to lie, it's challenging but that's a good thing. If it's not challenging, you're not working your body enough. Not challenging to the point where you injure yourself but challenging enough to break a sweat. I just dived straight in but then again, I did go to the gym. Not as much as I am now but still, I do exercising. I'd recommend it. The only problem is boredom, which is something I'm going through right now. The novelty kind of wears off but I just remember why I'm doing it and I do it and get the job done!

I took care of a 40 plus woman yesterday who started Insanity January 1st. She was over 200 pounds, not a regular exerciser and has lost 20 pounds. She also is eating smaller portions of food, but I was so impressed with her and envied her. Go for it! :bigsmile:0

I have not done insanity but when I first started I did Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. It's a 30 minute workout with three levels. You can stay on each level until you feel you are ready for the next. You get introduced to different workouts and I thought it was a good Kick-Start. Zumba is also fun. I have just recently started. It's a ton of cardio but takes a couple of times of going to get the moves down. But if you like dancing and music it's another great thing to do.0
