Anyone currently doing Insanity?

Anybody doing this with a HRM? Granted I'm a big dude (6' 4" 260) but in 40 minutes of Plyo cardio circuit it claims I burned almost 900 calories. That seems way high. It is properly calibrated... and I was pushing it.

What kind of numbers do you guys see?

My son and I are doing a kind of hybrid. Strength training days he goes to the gym and I do p90x. Cardio days we do Insanity.

Nice! I replaced yoga, plyo and Kenpo in P90x with the main insanity workouts. I love it. Kenpo is dumb.

Hi again..
Question for y'all- anyone still continuing their usual exercise while doing insanity every day?
Don't want to give up my 2x/week yoga and occasional zumba class. Can I do both?

I don't have a choice really lol. The Navy has mandatory workouts 3x a week. I did not want to go today, and I definitely did not give it half of what I had. I did not want to do anything to myself and prevent me from being able to keep going with my Insanity workouts.

WOW!!

Hi everyone! Im Here Im doing the Insanity. Im on month 2 week 1. Def. more challenging then month 1. Im really sore this week. Its been very challenging. I do love how I feel after the work outs. But I have to say while Im doing the work outs Im hating almost every minute of it. Complete torture. But I want to be in the best shape ever. Hoping to get through the whole program this time. Ive made it through month 1 2 times. Need all the support I can get!!
When I was doing the first month I still worked out at the gym at night with my running or the elliptical. So far this week all Ive been doing is the Insanity. Maybe tommorrow on the recovery day I will go to the gym at night. Keep on going its a great workout and you will get in AWESOME shape.
Friend me so we can support each other.

I'm not. My exercise before was just calorie burning on the elliptical. However, you could always give it a try! Yoga might be really good to do to help you with muscle soreness!

It actually is great to get all that extra stretching in! I recommend it!

I'm concentrating on Insanity but doing one reformer pilates session and one half-hour powerplate class in to balance it out with some extra toning and stretching work. It's only since I've been doing the pilates as well that I've seen real changes interestingly, and they help with Insanity and vice versa because both are concentrate on the core.

Try Kenpo with weighted gloves and ankle weights on . We gave it our all and got a good burn. Besides, sometimes it's nicer to do a not so intense but fun workout. We did this before our Insanity fit test, silly us.

Not a bad idea! I found with Kenpo I'd have to run and jack my butt off in between moves to keep my heart rate up... really had to push just to try to make it a meaningful exercise... no such issues with insanity. I'm a puddle on the floor after the end of those lol.

Hey Honey just do your best that is all anyone can do I am 45 did not think I would make it pass week 1 let alone month 1.
