Insanity workout

I'm not sure if there is a group specifically for Insanity but there is one dedicated to Beachbody. I've done Insanity and I loved it. My biggest problem with the program, for me, was that it was very hard to incorporate other workout routines with it (because of the time requirement and energy dedication), so I strayed away from the exact regimen a lot so that I could fit in routines I really liked -- such as weight training (to make up for the lack of upper body work with Insanity) and running.

Also, the first time I attempted (not finished) the program, I did make it to month 2 Beta, but soon found that my body wasn't anywhere ready for the increased intensity. So I redid month 1 Alpha. That's my best advice. If you need to, repeat weeks until you're ready to move on. You're not losing any benefits by doing so.

I have done it and it's amazing. I'll be restarting it again as with age you find out your endurance falls. Doing the insanity over 2 months increases your cardio endurance. Then you can have a break of a week after the 2 months and build a new program incorporating some of the exercises into your regime as its importance to keep your endurance while doing other stuff like weights, running, etc

I am at the end of week 5. Starting month 2 on Monday. Kinda scared but excited. Its a great workout. My only advice is do as much as you can and then modify(which is what I do). I do feel like I have increased my endurance. The first few days was rough but just keep on pushing through and it will get easier!

I "started" it again last night with the Power Cardio DVD.. And totally made it through the whole thing. (Which is not a common occurrence here..)

I don't really do the entire regimen, though, I just throw them in when I feel like getting my butt kicked.

I'm also one of those people who sucks at sticking to a concrete workout routine, I HAVE to mix it up. I love to weight train, I'm starting to like running, drop in at Zumba every once in a while.. So Insanity for me is maybe a once or twice a week ordeal.
(I know if I wanted to get better at it, I'd commit to more... but I also pay like $44 a month for a gym membership that would be pretty wasted if I fully converted to all-Insanity-all-the-time.)

I just started insanity yesterday. I did do the first month a few years ago with great results. My advice would be to go at your pace....still push yourself of course, but don't try to keep up with the people on the vid (unless you feel good doing that!). I lost 2 inches in the first 2 weeks from hips and waist, and was not normally going as hard as those in the video and even needing to rest often some days. You'll still see results and can just step it up when possible Feel free to add me!
