Insanity people

mine was even lower so my answer is no, it didnt seem right to me. i actually burned more calories walking!!! go figure.

......and i rocked that fit test!

I dont know anything about the insanity workout... but WHY would you NOT have any business trying it!?!?! I weigh about the same as you... & let me tell you... if you have the energy, endurance, stamina and the pure will to even TRY insanity... i give you BIIGG ups! because i am 22 years old, 2 kids, 190 pounds and there is absolutely NO way i could do it! i have a hard time getting through "start it up" on the slim in 6 workout routine!! Keep at it. you may surprise yourself!

first off, you're not disgusting. You taking action on losing weight, which is pretty brave. Many people don't want to try lose weight. So Congrats to you starting (and with Insanity!!)!
Now I'm not sure if the calories burned is correct, but You can log insanity workouts as 'high impact cardio' and see what myfitnesspal says or try here. www.prohealth.com/weightloss/tools/exercise/calculator1_2.cfm

Or you can log them from your hrm! .. make a new workout.. thats why i do :P

i log them into my own data base as a new workout so mine says insanity or boot camp or zumba
it's easier and since i have a HRM i know how much i burned that way i dont have to guess

That doesn't sound right to me, but I don't know, my results were different. I could understand if that was a month one workout, but if you are doing Max workouts in month two, I would think you would be burning more. For example, I did Cardio Plyo Circuit last night and burned 526. Normally in month one I would burn 400-500+ calories and during month two, burn 800+ calories.

I think everyone can do that workout, as long as you are getting a good burn and trying as hard as you can. Congrats on your weight loss so far. Don't get discouraged!! Keep up the good work. :happy:

Hi! I just started this week! My stats:

Weight: 143
Height: 5'4"
Ave HR: 142
Max HR: 178
Cals burned: 330

I think anyone can try this, it can only make you fitter! So I can't keep up with the peeps on the DVD, and some moves I can't perform at all just now - but I WILL get there eventually - as long as you've got the determination I say go for it! Everyone has to start somewhere!! :-)

Are you in month 2? I'm on day 9 and haven't had that workout yet.

It does sound kind of fishy because I'm 116 pounds and burning around there with Insanity. (Plyometric Cardio Circuit on Day 2 was 392 burned and day 3/today, Cardio Power & Resistance was 340). I have the New Balance for Women N4 HRM with the chest strap.. and I'm sweating like crazy by the end, so I'd say the calorie burn is relatively accurate. In my opinion, I'd think you're burning a little more than that.. but even if you aren't, you'll still get results! Keep up with it. There is no weight limit, and if you ever feel like you're not ready for it, do another video (I started with 30 Day Shred).. work your way up, and give it another shot. Good luck with everything. (:

I did Insanity today- Max cardio interval...I weigh 146 and am 46 and in pretty decent shape cardio wise. I burn way more than the numbers listed here. My heart rate monitor appears to be consistent with the aerobic type workouts i do. I can burn between 600-900 calories with Insanity workouts. and i sweat like crazy, slinging sweat everywhere!!! don't know what else to say but to share my experience

are you in month 2 ? i didn't realise you're that far in! way to go! and if you're that far then why the heck would you not have any business finishing? there is nothing disgusting about making positive changes for your health.

i'm not meaning this in a condescending way, it's a genuine question - is it possible that the workout is too hard for your current fitness level and you're not keeping up with it enough to burn more? i know some people recommend that you get to a relatively good level of fitness before doing insanity - i was walking/jogging for an hour 5 times a week for a couple months before insanity... maybe you should redo month1 again before moving on to month 2?

i'm in month 2 and my typical calorie burns are between 450-580 cals for all those workouts. i personally use a polar with a chest strap for all sorts of activities where i'm jumping, rolling, running etc and it's never had a lower reading as a result of the movement...actually it's done the opposite...it's shown me sometimes when i feel like i'm pushing myself, that there's alot of room for me to safely push more and consequently burn more cals.

I'm in month 2, week 2, day 3 and I just did Max Interval Circuit. I worked out for an hour and burnt a little over 900 calories. It just depends on your fitness level, and what HR zone your working out in. I was always around 75% of my max heart rate. My beach body coach seems to think this is right on. I'm in really good shape, and kicking *kitten* at the workouts now. So I hope its right.
