Are You Insane???

Is the Insanity workout supposed to be harder or easier than P90X?
my husband already has that workout...so I don't wanna buy it if it's really similar.
Thanks!

I don't know. They are both really different. I believe P90X is more strength, where as Insanity is more cardio. I have a friend who has done 3 rounds of P90X, and after he finishes Rush Fit, we're going to trade (Rush Fit for Insanity). Hope that helps.

Let me know how Rush Fit is.

So last night I did the first workout, and holy crap. I definitely overestimated my fitness level lol. When I watched it yesterday morning just to see what they did, I was like well, I won't be able to go as fast as they do but I'll just go my own very slow pace. Yea no, there was a bunch that I ended up having to modify so that I was still working out but not doing what they were doing,a nd I remember at one point towards the end I just jogged in place for an entire interval because I just could not do anything else lol. I hurt sooo bad right now and I'm supposed to get up ina minute and do the cardio & resistance...I have no idea how I'm going to do this when I can barely sit down to pee lol.

I'm on day 4, so I'm righ there with you at the beginning. I am in SO much pain.. I laid on the floor during some of them so dont feel bad for still jogging LOL I will say once you get back into it tonight you will feel better once your muscles get warmed up...but then tomorrow....well....I hope you dont have any stairs.

haha thanks. Live in the UK and we get nothing good. I had to get my brother to buy Turbo Jam for me in Canada and ship it here!! ugg

Cardin Recovery today, and man did I need it! 2 and 1/2 weeks in and my legs are toast. I think I could actually do more, if my legs felt better. They are just exhausted! 2 more days till rest day! I can't wait. And that means 1 week and 2 days till Recovery Week! And then....hell! Lol...I really hope I can finish. I want my t-shirt! Lol. Glad to hear everyone is doing well. Keep up the great work! We are all in this together! Great job everyone!

@Stoooo- recovery shake? I either drink my Muscle Milk shake, or eat dinner......depends on where my workout falls.

Woke up early and worked out. My legs felt a little better (which I was surprised at). But mornings are really not my thing. I just could not push myself hard enough (in my opinion). But it was better than the alternative, which would have been working out at 9 tonight! One more day till rest day (well, at least from working out) and then I'm on vacation!!!!! I can't wait! I should be able to work out whenever (although I'm supposed to be going to my S-I-L's for 2 days....shave to figure out how to squeeze workouts in. Catch up with all of you later! Keep up the great work!

Did my pure cardio today. I have to admit, I didn't push my hardest, between me having a cold and it being my birthday, my heart wasn't in it. But, I still feel like I had a good workout, still tired as hell and muscles are burnin lol.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Made it through 3 weeks of Insanity. Tomorrow is day off day!!!! Oh yeeeeeyaaaaaahhhhh

.

I am with you!!!! Finished Week 3 this morning. My legs felt a little better, but they still kept me from finishing some of the exercises. My arms for that matter too!!! Between Level 1 Drills, Ski Abs, and In and Outs, it was either my legs giving out, or my arms that could no longer hold me up!!! My cardio isn't the problem, it's the damn muscle fatigue. One more week of hell!!! And then recovery week!!!!! YAY!!!! And then.....4 weeks, of even worse hell!!! Can't believe I've made it 3 of 9 weeks.. 6 more to go for my t-shirt!!! I really want rhat thing!!! Is it just me????????? lol

Did the workout at 9 am today, figured this way, I got the rest of the day, and all of tomorrow to rest before Week 4. Glad to hear you're all still killing it. Keep up the great work everybody!!!

Week 1 done! It really sounds like a small thing but I'm really feelin great about getting through this first week lol and so happy to be on my rest day. And skolls, I definitely know what you mean with those three exercises. It's always my arms for me, I can't hold myself up for 3 back to back plank intervals lol. I was cussing at Shawn T last night, like dude, you could have split up the plank exercises or something.

Congrats again to you both for finishing up week 3! When you get started, youhave to let me know how the 2nd month is, I'm scared to even watch it to see lol.
