does anyone do insanity dvd's

Yesterday, I did the fit test !
I'm also in the UK.
I did Plyo Cardio Circuit today and only managed 25 mins... Please tell me it gets easier... lol

I recently finished my second round of Insanity. I think the Fit Tests are almost the hardest workouts! While it does get easier, it never really gets easy. :-) Month 2 is a bear - but it is also a total body changer! You will see amazing results both physically and mentally - you've got to be a pretty determined and dedicated person to stick to this. That says somethings, to me, about character.

Good Luck!

Hi, although I'm in the UK I have got the insanity dvds, I am currently starting my 8th week, which will finish christmas eve, then i'll start again 2nd jan, Does anyone else use these and what results have you found? Im doing well weight loss wise, and have notice im getting smaller, but have a long way to go yet!

I've done them a few times before (I've owned the program for 2 years now). I lose size and pounds while doing it and my cardio goes way up. I do, unfortunately, lose muscle and strength though because of the lack of weight training. I now just incorporate the DVDs into my balanced program instead of making it my whole program and have seen even better results.

Yep I have used Insanity. Do a search under Scorpioangel1 on Youtube to see my results from P90X and Insanity

I love insanity for the cardio and the lower body strengthening. It's really helping me with my general athleticism.

Totally agree! It helped me build up the endurance to run a 5K in 24:27 Now I'm aiming for a 10K. :noway:

I've never heard of this workout till my partner mentioned it this week and that he has ordered the DVDs. He's going to be moving in with me late Jan and wants us to do the workouts together starting at begin of Feb. Now I'm up for a challenge but is this workout suitable for seriously overweight people?

I'm 5'7" and weigh 256lbs (18s 4lbs) at mo but should lose around 7-10lbs by Feb. I am currently going to gym 3-4 times a week so not totally unfit either. My only problem is any high impact exercise (jumping etc) as am big breasted which become painful, even with the most supportive sports bra. I don't have a clue what is involved with the workouts, only seen a couple of photos and feedback.

I am on Week 2 right now. I like getting my *kitten* handed to me each day!

Fixed! :happy:

If you are "seriously overweight" I would hold off on this workout. It's constant jumping, and many people who are not overweight report knee injuries from all the jumping. I can't imagine what it would do to your joints if they have to bare a siginifant amount of excess weight. Even the people on the videos have to sit some parts out because its too intense. When I first started, I wondered if I was getting much out of it because I was unable to do much of it. If you give it a try, you risk injuring yourself, which will impede your efforts to exercise, or will just stand there watching (or do something else, my fiance likes jumping jacks) while they do exercies you can't do. Try this: hold your elbows to your side, and keep your forearms parallel to the floor. Put your forearms out to side as much as you can (keeping elbows in and forearms parallel to the ground). Now jump into the air, and bring your knees to your forearms midair. Do that over and over and over. That's an idea of an Insanity workout. I would work on weight loss with less impact exercies before starting insanity.
