Insantiy... How big is tooo big to try insanity???

i would like to know too.

I don't think there is a "too big" size. Everyone can do it, you just may have to build up your endurance and take frequent breaks. I would suggest Jillian Michaels 30DS prior to Insanity but so long as you are confident and determined you can do anything you want!

Everyone has to start somewhere. Good luck!

Insanity is for anyone and everyone.

I have done it three times and it is challenge every time. The key thing about Insanity, is you push yourself and use your own body weight as resistance. I say go for it! Everytime you do it, you will get a little better and be able to push a little harder.

Just do your best.. and sometime you have to go at your own pace, not Shawn T's.... but do it... you will see/feel results city.

Oh and after three rounds, there are still some moves that I just cannot get through at "insanity speed"

I have tried Insanity at around 185 and I found it difficult but you just do it at your own level, you are still burning a ton of calories and feel great after! KOGA is awesome, it is a mix between kickboxing and yoga, that is what i do and have lost almost 30 pounds since january...it tones and burns! good luck!

Hi aleshamariese! I'm on Day 60 of Insanity today! Only a cuople more days left! I'm not sure there needs to be a cut-off in terms of being "too big" to start Insanity. Yes, it's an extremely tough, mentally and physically challenging program but you can always modify and go at your own pace. Shaun T is a GREAT motivator and will really push you to dig deep and work hard. If you're ready to make a committment to push play for 60 days and try to eat clean, then I'd say go for it! You won't be disappointed after 60 days, that's for sure! Just my $0.02!

No size is too large to try, but I will encourage you (if you have not done so) to check in with your doctor and just make sure you are overall healthy enough to push yourself really hard. Just to be on the safe side.

If you already get an annual physical and your doc hasn't mentioned anything, then you're probably good. If (like me) you've avoided the doc for a while (I got sick of the weight lecture year after year after year, and stupidly stayed away for a long time, as in decades), it's worth getting to know your doc again and just making sure you're good to go.

I'm currently on week three of Insanity and Shaun T is very motivating. He says don't compromise form and go at your own pace, but he also says "dig in!" so no matter what pace you are going, JUST KEEP GOING! And this is one of those programs that is going to give you results, but the scale won't show it right away... which can feel frustrating. But you'll see the results when you keep your pace longer or you do more or you stretch further. I recommend it for ANY size person (the people in the video take breaks! Shaun T takes breaks!). The feeling of accomplishment (and relief) that you feel when you're done is SO worth the struggle.

Some people start with 30DS or Insanity ....... three years ago I started just walking around the block, hoping I wouldn't have a freaking heart attack LOL ....... now I'm going to the gym 5-6 days a week for cardio, weights, yoga, Zumba ...... and loving it !

We're all capable of more than we think we are ....... just start something !

Started insanity at 203lbs. Am on Day 21 and so far haven't missed a day. On my first fit test I couldn't do a pushup and now I'm able to do 4 pushups without stopping but of course had to rest before doing another set. Week one was tough as I wasn't much of a fitness/workout person but kept pushing myself. The difference I saw so far, is that I'm able to do certain moves which I couldn't do before. I'm able to push through the first round of warm up without stopping except on high knees. It's a small progress but to me it's such great achievement. Whey protein after my workout really helps reduce the soreness and kept me ready for the next day. In my experience so far, it's hard but keep 'pressing play', keep the form, rest when you need to but keep pushing and every next day I do the workout I see that I have gained more energy and more strength to pull through certain workouts. Right now it's my nutrition that I need to work on. I do still have one cheat day and am currently doing Slimming World for my nutrition. For this week though I'll try the insanity nutrition and see if that'll help with the weight loss. I'm losing 1lb a week (not much but something) and having 1 cheat day a week.

I have seen big people do both Insanity and P90X. They just modify the moves so they can push themselves and once they improve they are able to do the full moves
