So has anyone else tried this? I'm on the 6th week of it and it's kicking my ass.
yesterday was a 25minute fit test followed by an hour work out. The first 2 weeks, I couldn't stay awake or eat enough. This 6th week is starting like that all over again.
I've been annoyed with the number of people invading my person space at Spinnaker so I'm not really going there. definitely not going there this week. Insanity is killing me.
Insanity is suppose to be harder than P90X. I never did P90X so I don't know. I do know that I'm getting more muscles and more sore than I've ever been and I'm not bored yet. My big problem is that I'm doing the work outs on my carpeted floor and barefoot so I'm chewing up my feet. The stretching they do is awesome. I need more of that. My knee hurt for a long time before I did this. Now, it feels great. my last week collides with MDF so I'm probably going to take a few days off and then re-start my last week when I get back. After that I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I will still be doing all the stretches.
Also I have no idea what your yuppie workout fad is. My lifting partner and I switch things around and make up stuff as we go along and it works just fine. I turn 40 next year, have never juiced, and I've got $20 that says I can out-bench any of you faggots.
I love that story about the guy trying to get away from a falling plane by benchpressing it. When I'm done let's race and see how gets away from the burning fuel oil.
Seriously, I get horribly bored with cardio and when I lift, I get tired too fast cause I don't do cardio. Insanity is all about stretch, cardio, and dreaming about shaun t holding on to my hips. er.. wait.
3 people where i work have done it, and all have had excellent results, which is fairly suprising for something purchased off an infomercial. as for what to do after i guess there is some follow up called asylum or something that one of the guys is doing, the others just went to p90x.
I can't do P90x cause I don't have weights or a chinup bar, but basically if you go from no cardio to 45+ minutes a day of cardio, you are going to have results. I'm still around the same weight that I was, but I'm getting tone and building muscles.
Month 2 has me in the child's pose more than anything.
Looks like PX90, except worse. The question is (and you like myself are no spring chicken) how long can you keep up that type of intensity?
I briefly read about this workout and the comment above was the first thing that came to my mind. I just don't see anyone wanting to jump around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots for the rest of their lives.
I'm sure it works great for the short term, but I'm a bigger proponent of long term consistency when it comes to exercise and diet.

what in the wild world of sports is going on here?
haha. rev it's good you're knee doesn't hurt now, don't fucking push it. there's a line you cross where you do more harm than good. mix it up, get on a bike.
what sucks about this work out is all the nude selfies I'm taking of myself now to jerk off to. If anyone go ahold of my phone I would surely be embarrassed with sexy results.
Ok, from November until I started insanity, my knee hurt. During insanity, it felt awesome. I slacked on the last 4 days of insanity cause I was at MDF. I tried to start again a week after and failed (during the heat wave). Then didn't get back into it until yesterday. My knee started hurting again after about a week or so off.
If you are doing P90x or Insanity faggotry I will create a real meal plan and actual training regime for you free of charge that will show 666 times the results with 638293840% less lamesauce. You know, the kind with weights and a caloric surplus.
really, I'm just trying to get in better and better shape.
I keep telling myself "you are getting old, it's now or never".
Plus, then I have a bunch of tone muscles to feel up when I'm jerking off into the sink.
No running? The weather's great for it lately. Hill repeats will put a lot of leg muscle on you, you can take it slow on the descent to take a load off your joints.

(prob repost) I was running and I need to get back into it. but I keep doing dumb things like accidentally running 8+ miles. I was running 3+ miles around lifting in November and my knees started hurting. So I stopped squats and running and they still hurt until I started doing insanity. and felt awesome for the 8+ weeks I was doing insanity. Then I stopped for 2 weeks and they hurt again. So I'm back finishing the last week of insanity.
If you can switch from pavement or treadmill runs to softer surfaces you might see a lot of difference. Knee pain for me came from being in improper shoes - if you feel pain in your knees and ankles, you might be an overpronator.
Ok... So I go back to the gym to lift, but now I have done all this cardio. So I don't get tired lift. Like an idiot, I just keep putting the weights on doing deadlifts. I tilt a little to forward while coming up. *crunch* in my back. That is going to hurt tomorrow. Damn it.
