Who else is doing Insanity?

Hello, everyone! Sorry for the small MIA. How is everyone going in Insanity? I've managed to finish Recovery week, and I just started Month 2! I finished Max Interval Circuit, and omg! it was SO hard! lol!! About 2/3 of the video, I was fine. The last 1/3 was me resting a lot and heavy breathing. Shaun T definitely knows how to work you, and I can't emphasize more how important it is to rest when you need it. You never want to overwork yourself. It can be more damaging than you expect.

Let's all fight through the Insanity 60 day program strong! I know we can all do it.

Here's my new entry to my blog about some new goals I made for myself, and what I think is most important in keeping a healthy and long-lasting fitness lifestyle: my blog

Hello, everyone! I'm on week 2 of month 2, and it's a killer! I can't go through the last 1/3 of the video without multiple rests. I rest a lot more than I did in Month 1. The max interval videos are very hard, and I give kudos to those who can finish them without rest. But I can definitely feel myself getting stronger. As mentioned above, I feel like my endurance is improving as well. Let's all keep going and stay strong! I only got this week plus 2 more weeks to go and then I'm done!!

I've just joined the gym and have signed up for an insanity class. I am extremely unfit and I'm also overweight. Do you think that I should just go straight in for insanity or should I work up to it?

You can try one Insanity video and see how you like it. If it's too hard for you, you can try working up to it. But do keep in mind. You're allowed to do lower modifications even though Shaun T doesn't always show them during his videos. If there's an Insanity class in your gym, you can probably ask the instructor for lower modifications for you so you can start slow. I can't emphasize strong enough how damaging it can be if you try doing the moves with bad form, so make sure you are in good form, and take lots of rests when you need it. It's totally ok to take lots of rest in the beginning. I'm on week 7, and I still take rests lol. My dad is overweight, and he started Insanity with me. He can't go past the warm up, but everyday, he keeps it up and I've been seeing improvements day by day. He's been able to finish the warm up without stopping, and that in itself was a big improvement. So honestly, as long as you take it slow, it should be ok. I hope this helps! Hope I didn't confuse anyone lol.
