Currently doing a custom hybrid of Tony's One on Ones (mostly volume 3) with the cardio provided by my favorite cardio workouts from Beachbody, Kickboxing, trail running and cycling. I'm planning on doing my current cycle till December then I'm doing another round of Asylum, then I'll be starting P90x2! My Signature shows…

I draw up a schedule for 30 days and make that schedule as varied as possible. It helps that I now like exercising, and I like what I'm doing, the secret is to find something you actually want to do because its fun, not because you must workout.

Mountain climbers over the third rung of the agility ladder can do one, normal mountain climbers seem easy now.

Eating clean is as least as important as sticking to the workout schedule for good results. If you can't do pull ups then a pull up assist band is a god send: http://www.ironwoodyfitness.com/fitness-bands.php The rest days and the recovery weeks are there for a reason, push too hard and it will impact your results.

With a low target calorie count like 1200 you should try to eat back all your exercise calories. You should get the best progress eating back those calories in full as protein rich food about 30 minutes after your workout.

Classic every time. For those struggling with the pull ups get a pull up assist band like these: http://www.ironwoodyfitness.com/fitness-bands.php

I've done just over 9000 this week so put me down for this. Highest I've done in a week is just over 15,000 I think, but I ain't working that hard if I can help it. Schedule for this week: Monday - Shoulder & Arms, Abs, Kickboxing Tuesday - 6km Run, Plyo, Kickboxing Wednesday - Rest Thursday - 6km Run, Biceps & Back, Abs…

Some of it is down to the duration of your workout, a longer workout would see you burning a ton of calories at that rate, you burnt 12.6 calories per minute, so if you'd worked out for 50 minutes at that pace you'd have burnt 630 calories. 12.6 calories per minute is very good!

I'm also training for my first Triathlon next May, only Sprint distance but I plan to do Olympic by the end of next summer, the 10km run is a bit far for me yet. I've a good level of base fitness, in that I can complete the distance for Sprint without much problem but I'm just not fast enough, takes me around 1 hour 40…

It requires a good level of base fitness before you start, if you don't have that I'd suggest P90x or something else to get your fitness up. Rest and diet are very important throughout the programme as it is intense. I've done a P90x/Insanity Doubles Hybrid and Asylum (sequel to Insanity), lost a ton of inches and lbs on…

If its going to be a decent size I'd really recommend waiting till you've lost your weight. I want a full back tattoo and I'm not even going for the initial consultation until after I am at my goal weight as it will change as my shape changes. If its a small tattoo then go for it, it'll only get smaller as you lose weight.

Updating early as I'm on holiday for a couple of weeks from tomorrow so won't be able to weigh myself during that time. 2504: 236.3 lbs 0205: 232.5 lbs lost 3.8 lbs 0905: 230.1 lbs lost 2.4 lbs 1605: 228.1 lbs lost 2 lbs 2305: 228.1 lbs lost 0 lbs 3005: 227.0 lbs lost 1.1 lbs 0606: 227.0 lbs lost 0 lbs 1306: 224.8 lbs lost…

Insanity is majority cardio and needs a good base fitness before you start otherwise you will really struggle. P90x's exercises can be modified to suit your fitness and strength, plus isn't so cardio based and what cardio there is, isn't as hard as Insanity. P90x will tone you better, but you'll be fitter and burning more…

I did a P90x/Insanity/One on One Doubles Hybrid after my first round, and I'm currently on week 4 of Asylum. Next up is my version of P90x2 based on the One on Ones with added running, swimming and kick boxing. What are your goals post P90x? They should dictate what is your best option is for your next cycle.

I love doing the Yoga videos that come with P90x and the One on Ones that Beachbody do. Not as good as a proper class but when you were as inflexible as I was when I started classes would be a bit of an embarrassing place to start. I try to do Yoga twice a week, really helps with my recovery and my flexibility.

Same here, mine has the option to select Weight Training as the type of workout before I start.

Best thing is to not eat way before the workout, then just keep going. If you feel like you are going to heave you have to keep going or you'll never get past it. I didn't puke when I did Insanity but I have puked a couple of times doing Asylum. Its not nice but if you want to push yourself then its a possibility. You…

What's your base level of fitness like? You need a decent level of fitness before starting Insanity otherwise you'll end up having to pause it. P90x is easier if you aren't fit already as you can modify more and the Cardio is easier. With both diet and commitment is everything.

Sports Tracker Pro for Android. I also use the Polar Bluetooth HRM strap with my phone to track my heart rate at the same time in Sports Tracker Pro.

Sounds a great choice, let me know how you get on with it cause I want one as well.

I would have been about 220, 230 lbs (I'm 5'8") when I started Insanity and boy did I feel it. Which workout did you do as ~30 minutes sounds a bit short for any of the normal Insanity workouts? Most of the Pure (stage 1) workouts are around 45 minutes, and the Max (stage 2) are nearer an hour. I'd burn anything from 600…

New pair of trainers for working out in? Some new going out clothes? Ankle and arm weights?

I've done one round of P90x, a doubles hybrid of P90x and Insanity and now I'm doing Asylum with a P90x/Asylum/Insanity hybrid after that planned. When I started I was nearly 90lbs overweight, couldn't bend to touch my toes, or walk upstairs without getting out of breath. Now ~150 days later I'm fit enough to keep up with…

Agree with the recommendations around the pull up bar, the bands are good for this exercise but no substitute if you are looking to get strong. You will be doing so many sets of pull up/chin up variations it is hard not to get real strong real quick doing the pull ups. Do you have push up bars? I really recommend those as…

Are you setting your weight and height on the machines at the gym before working out? Unless you do it won't be very accurate. I use a heart rate monitor, I highly recommend getting one, but if you can't afford one you can work it out if you take your pulse using this process:…

What do you mean by netting 1650 calories? Is that after eating your exercise calories back or not including them? Have you worked out how many calories you are burning for each workout?

I agree with m3bella, you need to look at the dietary information before buying as there is a lot of variance. Usually they add all the rubbish to make it taste better. I drink Nutrisport 90+, 53g serving, 45.6g protein, so 86% protein, with near 0% fat and carbs. Its not the best tasting shake on the market but then if I…
