I tried Rushfit, but I didn't like it. I also found how the program is structured a bit... odd. Plus, StPierre is annoying. M

Second that!

Oh boy, what an extensive question... Let me start by saying that a calorie is a calorie - it is simply a measure of the amount of energy it takes to warm 1 g of water by 1 degree Celcius (in a specific temperature). As a measurement, it is absolute... such as 1 metre is 1 metre is 1 metre. However, where that calorie…

Around 50-55 in the morning after a good night sleep. Used to be around 80.

Your regular BP of 138/85 is only slightly elevated, and IMHO you should not be medicated for that level of hypertension. That elevation should be easily managed with lifestyle changes (diet and exercise), without resorting to medication. But, alas, big pharma and doctors want to flock off medication. Your dizziness and…

I get my HR to around 155 during the circuits, and I feel like I've recovered when it drops to around 115 during rests. Your respective HR figure will be higher, as you're way younger than me. HR zones are highly dependant on age, so that makes a huge difference. In effect, the lower your heart rate recovers during the…

Its a typo in the program documentation.... It is plyometric cardio circuit. Got me, too :-P M

I love Insanity. I just started 3rd week of the second month, so I only have two weeks to go. Insanity is *tough*. I had to take a week off in the middle of the first month because I just felt really fatigued, and the break did wonders and I felt good starting back on week 3 after it. Compared to the second month, the…

Hi Lollie, Heartrate under 50 is very low, and for your age, 210 is also extremely high. I would recommend having a check with your doctor just to make sure everything is allright. Using the Gulati et al. formula (2010), your max heart rate should be around 206 - (0.88 x 30) = 179.6, and even high intensity exercise at 90%…

If you have a HRM, observe the "curve" your heart rate does. For example, it might go up to 110 really quickly and easily, but in order to reach around 85% of your max HR might still require a considerable effort. Do keep a close eye on hydration, and keep drinking PLENTY of fluids. If you have means of monitoring your…

Hi Xd, If your resting heart rate while up and about is high 70-80s, that is completely normal. Tachycardia is (technically) anything over 100 bpm resting, and you don't appear to be anywhere near there. There are many lifestyle issues that may affect your resting heart rate, including smoking, drugs (recreational),…

Love Insanity... Just love it. I'm on my week 4, and I can certainly tell that my fitness has improved dramatically. Go for it!!

I'm just finishing week 2 of insanity and TOTALLY LOVE IT!!!!! If heart-pumping, sweat-drenching cardio is your thing, you just can't go past insanity. My endurance and cardiovascular fitness have improved enormously in only the two weeks, and even though my weight loss has continued at about the same pace as before…

Hi nbsambucca. P90X is not really a weight loss program, rather, it is a muscle building regime, and as such, their goals is to get the people on the program to fuel their bodies sufficiently in order to build muscle (which is their promise, after all). The amount of calories you will burn doing the P90X workouts will vary…
