Insanity Workout anyone?

[Belle25]

Is anyone else trying the insanity workout?
Started it 5 days ago and it's tough, but lost 6lbs

Find it hard to keep up with.

Would live to hear other people's experiences with it.

I tried it, but it was SO hard on my knees, so I stopped after only a week. I have found that P90X is much better for me, because there is less jumping and impact moves and more focus on strength. I'm sure I lose some of the cardio, but Insanity left me unable to walk!

Hey!
I'm on week 2, day 5

I thought about giving this a go- as a supplement for the days I work from home or just don't have a class at the gym to go to- I do Step, Zumba and Power every week-- but both Zumba and Step are already tough enough on my bad knees... but I manage through. So I was hesitant...

Since wamommy says it was too hard on her knees-- I should prob not try it Maybe there is another one I can try like the P90X?

Still love to see what others think though-- I'll stalk

I think it is quite hard on your knees coz of all the jumping (especially if you have a concrete floor).
But, I'm doing it while I have a break from running, and I don't think it's as hard on my knees as running is.
For the first week, my calves were like rock from the jumping, but I've found the second week ok
I love Shaun T. I think he's ace!

I tried it a few months ago, and actually finished it. I followed his calendar schedule. I felt great afterwards, yea it was really tiring and hard at times, and a bit boring too since he repeats the same steps, but it does bring results if you stick to it. I did lose about 6 lbs. Most people get discouraged because they feel like they do all that work just for 5-6 lbs, but what people do not realize is that they gain muscle from this workout.

I'm loving it. It's hard, but my jelly belly is a bit firmer already!
My legs are more toned too....but it's 40 mins of hell lol

Well done to those who are/ have done it-I feel your pain ouch!!

Hi Belle,
How are you getting on with it?

Hey everyone!! I am a beachbody coach. If you anyone needs help with the programs or finding one I can help! I also hold challenge groups. Challenge groups are about 6-7 people getting together on a Facebook group page to motivate and support each other during their programs. It's really fun and it really helps you keep accountable!

 

[Belle25]

Ah! Still at it. Boy it's hard.
Feeling the benefits though-how are you gettingn on iloveshoes?
The jumping is so hard!

Youngnready, great to see a coach here! You must be superfit!

You can do this ladies!!!!! I went to the gym for 3 classes yesterday, and plan on doing 2 classes today. I am determined and ready to lose this weight and be healthier!!!

 

[Belle25]

Whoa! Go you, mizzyd 3 classes would kill me!!

Started doing insanity in front of my toddler yesterday, but she kept laughing at me, so stopped it and I'd it later!!

Definitely a bit more toned now, but a long way to go yet.

i keep seeing the ads for insanity and thinking i would like to try it.
im good at starting things but not following through and ive gone up to full time at work from this week-3 12.5hr shifts.so im worried about fitting it all in.
so i saw that shaun T was bringing out a new workout thats 25min long,its out on monday so im thinking of getting that one instead.

 

[MIZZYD]

Yea, I did do the 2 classes today and today I felt the pain, but hey, "No Pain No Gain" or in this case "No Pain, No Losing Weight" I came back home, showered, sat down to eat my dinner, then could not get up, I was in so much pain, still am, but now I am just resting, tomorrow I hope to make it for an hour.

Thanks belle.
i still think I'm going to wait for focus t25 to come out because every move in that can be modified.I've had trouble with my knees in the past and i don't want to damage them.

If you have knee problems, insanity would be too much on them. Lots of jumping.
I think the guy who does insanity does a workout called hip hop abs too-looks fun, might be worth trying too

Thanks
It's definitely getting a little easier. Cardio power and resistance is my favourite.
My results are good so far; I increased all my scores when I redid the fitness test, and I can see differences in my shape.
I've only lost 1kg, but I'm not fussed about that. My tummy is flatter, waist smaller and shoulders wider
How are you doing, Belle?
