lscottpht · **Insanity -** 05-19-2010, 02:14 PM

Ok, sorry if you've been reading my FB site and are sick of this, but I just have to give rave reviews on Insanity. It is probably the most intense workout program I've ever done. I haven't worked out in so long, so I was really worried about doing this, but I absolutely love it! It is definitely extremely intense, but I do the best I can and drink the shake afterward. I have so much more energy now, despite being sore, and in two weeks, my shape is really changing and I've lost a lot of weight. I don't know how much, since I don't have a scale, but pants that were tight are now quite loose. So, if you've been thinking about doing this program, I highly recommend it. It's by the same people that do P90X.

i refuse to believe you're a 5/6! im gonna go with 3/4. lol

we alllllllmost started that workout. but justin bit the bullet and we joined an actual gym. made him feel better (he met with a nutritionist and personal trainer). and well...ive got a wedding dress to get back into.

he just couldnt get motivated at home.

glad to hear you like it tho. i think id still like to try it eventually!

hahaha rebecca! yeah, i refused to believe it for awhile, then reality hit.

yes you do have to get back in your dress soon! i belong to a gym, but i never go. ive been a few times in 2 years, but just to tan lol!

you should try it. ive never really enjoyed any excercise program until this one. now, i will say, i cuss at shaun t. constantly while im doing it, but when im done, im like...yeesss! that was awesome!

Ya, i agree. It is insane.
I did p90x a couple times and decided to borrow insanity from a friend.
I gave it back after the first week.
I just don't like the fact that you are at 100% HR for the entire time with "rest" periods that are too short for recovery. I don't want to burn muscle, it's too hard to put on in the first place. I want to maximize fat burning.
For me personally, P90x puts me in a more efficient HR zone AND it builds muscle.

But in the end, I'd rather hit the mountain bike trails or go for a run.

Keep up the hard work, hope you get awesome results.

Ok, a friend just gave me a dvd of it to try. Have not done it yet. Its amazing that you put this on here today leslie. Maybe, just maybe I'm headed in the right direction.

lscottpht · 05-19-2010, 07:35 PM

Lol, yeah Tanya (Asian girl). She's just too damn fit lol. Henry, will post pic at the end of my 60 days. Dennis, yeah there is very little rest time. I don't want to bulk up, so it's good for me.
