What did you do to prepare yourself for Insanity?

Hello! I have been using BeachBody products forever (since before coaches were assigned to you). I have done P90, P90X, Slim in 6, Turbo Jam . . .

Currently I am finishing up Slim in 6 (today)! I might do two additional weeks.

I am interested in trying Insanity, but not sure if I can handle it. So I am curious, what program did you do to prepare yourself? And do you recommend Insanity?

Thanks in advance! Now time to go PP and crank out Slim in 6 (as long as the baby stays napping).:smile:

    I know it requires a lot of cardio. So right now I'm doing 30 day shred and then I'm going to do a week of 2 a day cardio like kick boxing and running. Then I will start Insanity on the 31st. Q

    I did P90x classic, and started subbing the Insanity Pure Cardio for the cardio in P90x the last month.. that helped me build up my stamina.

    Hi! I found the 30 Day Shred (post-Slim in 6) to be a great pre-Insanity program. Completed all 3 programs with a week of just stroller walks between programs. Good luck!

    Remember you can always modified the moves and adjust your intensity. So just go for it. Let your body be your guide. Q
