Insanity

I've done it, I love it and hate it all at the same time. I believe if you stick through it as much as possible, modify the moves as needed, you will see results. I also really liked Turbo Fire as well!

I've done it twice, and love it. I don't think any other program (I've done T25, Rushfit & P90X) can match it's intensity and calorie burn.

I have done Insanity. I love the workouts, but I have a commitment issue to 6 days a week. It also made me sooo hungry and I realized that eating at the caloric intake given from the insanity guide was all wrong for me. I actually gained 10 lbs. A few lbs of that muscle (only a slight few). So in order for me to lose weight, I have to eat lower calories and cannot do Insanity. Great workout but for me I need something that fits with my lifestyle.

I did a round of Insanity last year and have started again. I am on my fourth week and preparing to start my recovery week come Monday. This program is awesome if you set realistic expectations when beginning it. I will say right off the bat that the majority of the weight loss that is experienced comes from the second half of the program. On the up-side though, you lose inches and will begin to notice the difference in the way that your clothes fit in the first month. I can speak for me in saying that I started to get discouraged come week 2 and 3. For some reason, I just expected to see the weight flying off and when it didn't that soon, I started to doubt the program's effectiveness. But then I did some research and came to realize that the body takes time to adjust to any level of activity, and truly we don't start to even see visible changes for at least 21 days/3 weeks of consistently doing any type of exercise. So I kept going, and by the end of the program I'd lost 16 lbs. I know for me, the biggest issue the first go round was dialing in my diet. Had I been on top of that, I think my results would have been even better. It's a great program which is why I've started it again.

Yea done it.
Found it hard to start with but soon got into it.
Never felt fitter when I'd finished the program but that was a while ago so am thinking of starting again!

It's EXTREMELY effective. I had visible results after two weeks (ABS!!!) and did it for 10 weeks, doing an extra two weeks of Insanity Max. It kicked my *kitten* into awesome shape very rapidly. I did not do the diet program and did not use it for weight loss but nonetheless I lost 4 kg doing Insanity. The best part is that now my body is capable of doing things it was not capable of before.

I'm seriously baffled by those who did not have any results after doing the program - it makes me wonder if they were doing the full program with correct moves, 6 days a week, at full intensity. A lot of the moves are very difficult and it's tempting to skip them or do them half-assed. I know I have cursed at the screen many times during the workouts, but I didn't give up, and I have the results to show for it.

Now I'm doing T25, which is very good as well, but honestly I'm still waiting for a system that can take me higher than Insanity and so far I don't think such a thing exists.

I have a love/hate relationship with insanity. During the workouts I hate it. But afterwords is feels so good..

Question for the masses: Do you think a 15 year old boy is too young for the insanity workout?

I want to do it with my son over the summer.

In reply to the question about the 15 year old...no. Hes not too young. I have 6 children and I roll out a mat for my 2 and 6 year old to watch and do her exercise, lol. Its more about creating a lifestyle that encourages exercise being fun for them, and they all love it! My 11/15/17 and 19 year olds do it and are all good.
