  • The wife and I have both done Insanity, I am week into Combat and my wife has done TurboFire. I love Combat in the same way the she loves TurboFire. The variety within each set just melts the time away. I hate the classic repetitive move for 60 seconds and switch to another repetitive move for 60 seconds, rinse and repeat.…

  • I have gotten that same line from my Doctor, I am regularly below 50. Where this also gets me is in calculating calorie burn with the HRM, I seem to recover VERY fast which drops my average heart rate quickly.

  • I cannot speak highly enough about Beachbody. Lost about 20 doing Insanity and then firmed up doing P90X. My wife has seen strikingly similar results from Chalean Extreme and Turbofire. I am now doing a Hybrid schedule of the 2 because once you get through Insanity, P90X's cardio is too easy. The one thing I will point out…

  • Check out Nike's Free line. My wife and I both cannot stop raving about the comfort and the disappearance of our foot/shin pain in doing P90X/Insanity/TurboFire.

  • If you are using a HRM....once you are done, take your Average HR and head over to http://www.triathlontrainingblog.com/calculators/calories-burned-calculator-based-on-average-heart-rate/ . You can calculate your Calories burned and then put TurboFire in as Cardio.

  • +1 on the Heart Rate monitor, but I always cross check it against the average heart rate to calorie burned calculators online. I find my Timex grossly overestimates calories burned when I get over 500 calories. It is normal for me to be between 800-900 calories after PyloX (140 AVG HR), but my Timex will tell me…

  • Both, for completely different reasons. Small calorie intake (amount depends on how long before your workout) prior for proper energy levels during your workout. Protein rich after for muscle recovery.

  • I've already done a round and never got to the point of keeping up in Hot Foot. I end up switching every 15 seconds, my foot usually cramps.

  • @carlachristin I followed a schedule similar to this when I did my hybrid. http://www.decidetostayfit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/p90x-insanity-hybrid.pdf Ultimately found it too difficult to maintain the Insanity pace once I was not doing it 6 days a week and retreated back to PyloX.

  • Just tried it for the first time, (Yea free 2 day shipping from Amazon), love it. Can't wait to put it in a protein shake. 150 less calories than Skippy, gotta love that!

  • I have run into similar plateaus in other set schedule routines. (most notably week 3 of Insanity) What I found was if I backed off on the intensity a bit but pushed through the week, I was able to recover and push forward. My suggestion with C25K is to back off the pace but keep going. If you are on a treadmill, slow your…

  • I can echo much of nukehiker's comments. HRM is key, get in your zone, stay there as long as possible and don't be scared to take breaks when you are over. I made it all the way through and lost 22 Lbs and at 6'1 220 to start was a great accomplishment for me considering I did truly watch my nutrition. Make sure you are…

  • I know a couple of trainers at different CrossFit gyms but frankly that lack of emphasis on proper form with heavy weight coupled with speed scares the cr@p out of me. Having spent time with certified trainers playing college sports, I have a great respect for how seriously hurt you can get during training. They are in…

  • I'm on week 2 of the Lean routine. I've done Insanity and parts of Chalean Extreme as supplementation when I needed a shorter workout due to time constraints. This is my second go 'round with with P90X after falling off the bandwagon in 2011. I struggle with push-ups, Chest and Back humbles me every time...hoping to build…
