No Weight loss doing insanity

Your weight and measurements can ebb and flow over time (especially for women). You’re going to lose fat based on both how much you eat and what you eat. Are you following the eating plan for the program?

Measurements are going to tell the story a lot better than the scale. Stick with the diet plan and the workouts and the results will happen. I wen through the program three times and my first round was the hardest and showed the least amount of weight loss by the scale, but the largest number of inches lost.

Well... my advice to you is... TURN THE TV OFF, open the DVD Player, take out the Insanity DVD and THROW IT OUT OF THE WINDOW!!! Why? Because DVDs NEVER work, IN MY OPINION.
The fact that you even have the option to workout at home and pause a DVD is a clear set up for failure right there.
Don't get me wrong, the workouts IN this and p90x are awesome... however, they are ONLY for demonstration purposes to give people an IDEA of what exercises to do (noone really catches on to this, therefore they waist their money and their time, get bored and lose interest when they don't see the results "AS SEEN ON TV"), but if you think following along with this everyday is going to help, I don't think so...

If you're looking to EFFECTIVELY lose weight... RUN OUTSIDE! ITS THE BEST WAY FOR CARDO! You will lose more faster and fell much better while breathing FRESH AIR instead of THE DUST IN YOUR HOUSE ANYWAY.

AND LIFT WEIGHTS! Lifting weights helps you burn faster as well... Again, do the exercises in the video for STRENGHTENING PURPOSES, but only use this DVD as a guide to exercises you want to do to work on CERTAIN AREAS... not to lose weight honey...

Hope this helps!

Have to disagree, it definitely works if you commit to it



That was the first time I ever did Insanity...I ate right, measured my food with a scale (still had fun with friends, ate out, had beers) did the work outs every day and I saw results the whole time I was doing the program.

1/7/2013-197
1/9/2013-194.4
1/15/2013-192.5
1/22/2013-192
1/28/2013-190.5
2/1/2013 -189.2
2/12/2013-187.4
2/13/2013-186.3
2/27/2013-185.4
3/6/2013 -184
3/22/2013-183lbs

I am one week into doing the program again as we speak...trying to get ready for a 1/2 marathon in may...

No I am not a coach, just someone who found success with this program...I am in better shape in my late 20's going on 30 than I ever was my entire life. You have to prioritize and commit, simple as that

Maybe if people put the DVD in once and then just forget about it, or constantly half-*kitten* it, but if you stick to it and eat right it will work. I've lost weight and toned mostly by following exercise DVDs/Youtube videos.

A lot of people can't afford gym memberships or to actually buy a good set of weights so at-home DVDs are a good option for them.

And in terms of running outside - for me personally, I have asthma and shin splints so going for a run is incredibly hard on my body. A lot of people can't handle going for a run when they're starting their weight-loss journeys and exercise DVDs can be a good, low-impact starting place.

@MeganMoroz89‌, that's not an excuse... if you can pay the AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT INSANITY OR P90X OR ANY OTHER EXPENSIVE DVD PACKAGE COSTS... SURELY you can go to WALMART and invest in $5 dumbbells, $24 running shoes, $34-$40 home workout equipment and workout in your OWN BACK/FRONT YARD AND HIT YOUR NEAREST PARK/TRACK TO RUN... I know, because I've lost 64lbs in 4 months WITHOUT A GYM MEMBERSHIP OF ANYKIND.
Your body will get tired of doing the same daily exercises and you will eventually end up feeling like our friend @ChillyUK‌ here...
And FYI... THE DVDS ARE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN SOME CHEAP WEIGHTS AT WALMART AND GOOD RUNNING SHOES FROM WALMART OR MODELS.

MY FIRST PAIR OF RUNNING SHOES WERE ONLY $24 AND MY NEW ONES I'M WEARING NOW WERE ONLY $45... So... there you have it... working out is much more easier, simpler and less expensive than people think it is.

I hope this helps...

Don't worry... I'll wait...

Are you saying that PEOPLE should not breathe WHILE not working OUT?

Is that what you read?

I'm not sure what I'm reading here, but I'm feeling threatened...

You said that people should breathe while working out...so it follows that you don't think breathing is important while not working out. It's basic logic for sane people though so no worries if you're confused.

Oh... you made a corny joke... ok... lol.
