  • I really liked NMTZ, but at 55 minutes, I thought that it was long Try 6 week 6 pack - 35 minutes, and it has a level 1 and level 2 - i really liked that one
  • I really like Jillian Michaels 6 WEEK 6 Pack abs - 35 minutes - 2 levels of exercises Good strength, really good abs - really hard workout
  • Insanity is very good, but very hard Why don't you go on youtube, and try Jilian Michaels 30 Day shred - Level 3 - for free - 27 minutes? It is very good too If you can do that, then you would do fine at insanity Another good one is her 6 week 6 pack abs - comes in at 35 minutes - pretty hard, and free on youtube I have…
  • 30DS was good - I like it, because some days, I don't have 40+ minutes for insanity, and 30 DS is 26 minutes - makes a difference for me Insanity is harder / longer - every time that I complete a workout, I am pretty happy I like the quote I read in Pinterest - "Get Fit in the Gym, get skinny in the kitchen" The more that…
  • I really like the Insanity Max Workouts too - they are hard, and longer, but they are a little more varied. And they are well paced, with recovery exercises - so they are possible to do Sometimes I argue with myself that the 1st DVD - the Plyometric Circuit - is the hardest Insanity DVD, even including the Max Workouts
  • Ab Ripper X from P90X series Awesome abs workout Results - a few weeks on it, before I was able to complete it
  • Rest is very important - you can over-exercise (depending on your level of fitness) - and actually go backwards And age is very important too -the older you are, the more rest that you need I used to be able to work out every day, when I was younger - but when I got into my 40's, working out every day just ending up tiring…
  • Yoga - is the way. If you do some of the 'harder' yoga DVD's, there is lots of strength training in there. Great place to start
  • I bought it It is good - not great, though Every DVD has the exact same 3 minute warmup, and 3 minute cooldown. In fact, the workouts are all just 'mini-workouts spliced together'. For example, if you are going to do kettlebell swings, he has a 1 minute kettlebell swing tape - and in every DVD, you do the exact same 1…
  • I bought the ap for ipod Touch Not that good - shows the exercise - but doesnt really go through it So, I have never really used it much
  • Ya, I've done them done too Insanity is so hard - pure cardio - awesome workout - you will sweat P90X is very good too though - strength training - you will build muscles P90X does have more variety - workouts that focus on legs, or arms, or Kenpo, or YogaX, or recovery - than Insanity's strictly cardio focus But if you…
  • I just use a simple way Hard workout -= 10 calories per minute So, if you do, say an insanity workout for 40 minutes, the most that you will burn is 400 calories. Medium rate Walking = say 5 calories per minute And then I just kinda judge everything else in-between Ya - it is not a heart rate monitor or anything, but it is…
  • I'm doing a version of this right now 100 squats 100 pushups 100 Russian Twists (not situps) I will see if I can do 200 squats and 200 Russian Twists tomorrow!
  • Hey, some awesome bike riding You should look around, for a bike challenge or marathon or something - it is what got me going The first one that I did was the MS Bike Ride - 45 miles 1 day, and then back 45 miles the next day - I found that I like my bike riding, but I need something to work towards. I do 1 of these bike…
  • I don't have a HRM - but sometimes I wish that I did But anyway, I just figure that a) Really hard exercise is 10 calories / minute So, a regular insanity is roughly 350 calories Exercises like walking - so maybe 5 calories / minute? Depends on how hard you are walking? Leisurely walking is say 4 calories / minute? That is…
  • It's an awesome workout. Took me a month before I could complete the 10 minute warmup part, without having to take a break. And then you start the workout part. Hard? You betcha. If you make it, you will be proud of yourself. I have also done P90X (and P90X2) - they are more strength workouts, vs Insanity, which is way…
