aaron11892 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I'm 4 weeks into this and I have to say I feel amazing. The workouts are very hard and leave you dripping in sweat each time. I have never felt so fit in my life. What is everyone else's experience with Insanity? Link to post Share on other sites

LoveTKO Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 It seems like a decent workout. I do have a problem with the claims made by the creator about transforming your body in sixty days compared to one year transformations for other workouts. That's just a bunch of hooey. The Spartan 300 workout is actually harder and doesn't promise results like that. Here's a little secret for you that most workouts tend to omit: your diet is just as import, if not MORE important than the workout routine. Your abs won't look six pack ripped because you're doing 200 situps, but they will look shredded if you have little fat with paper thin skin. A lot of people do intense workouts and then negate the "look" objective by eating like a pig because they think they'll "burn it off" anyway...WRONG!!l!! All you have to do are just basic pushups, situps, squats, etc., until failure and cut out SUGAR, limit Sodium and limit your CARB intake as much as possible and you will get shredded in no time. Too much sugar and sodium will give you that bloated water-retention look. You can work out all you want but if you cheat on your diet no Insanity, spartan, etc workout is going to give you that "look". Diet is more important than the latest trendy workout routine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
bedelgeuse Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I started Insanity 2 weeks before she broke up with me, that threw me off for 2 days, but I've kept at it, not expecting crazy results in 60 days but I'm on week 3 and my body feels great and sometimes I want it to go longer! Maybe I'm insane? As stated above diet is equally as important and I literally went from being a take out only, soda guzzling, junk food whore to 100% clean eating with 5 small meals a day. That combined with some natural supplements specific for my needs has allowed me to quit caffeine, and I no longer feel groggy mid day. All I know is, this stuff is proven, and by the time I turn 30 (in about 5 months) I will have the healthiest and best body in my life! Link to post Share on other sites
thefooloftheyear Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I think anyone(man or woman), needs a good base of muscle to get to a high level of fitness.This includes core exercises, resistance training(weights) and other forms of muscle building techniques..Sure, any type of high level aerobic activity will rid one of subcutaneous fat and water and make you "look" better, but IMO, its like an old house with a fresh coat of paint..If you dont build the "infrastructure" , then you wont have the whole package.. Not knocking it, just one mans perspective..Good luck and stick with it.. TFY Link to post Share on other sites
bedelgeuse Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I hear you on the weights, that is why after this Im planning a p90x hybrid workout since there is more resistance training involved. Link to post Share on other sites
LoveTKO Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 You need to balance weights, core workouts, cardio....absolutely. I do a lot of long distance running (25-35 miles per week every week) and I balance it with weight workouts and calisthenics. But the reason I stress the diets aspect is that even with the insane running I do with some splits at sub seven minute miles, if I neglect my diet and drink sodas and what not my body doesn't look as ripped. My weight can fluctuate seven pounds in two days depending on what I eat. Link to post Share on other sites
onlyjs Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm 4 weeks into this and I have to say I feel amazing. The workouts are very hard and leave you dripping in sweat each time. I have never felt so fit in my life. What is everyone else's experience with Insanity? I LOVE IT. I can't do all the push-ups because my elbow fracture never recovered, but I feel good that I can go from couch to Insanity. I did one full round and I'm just starting another. By the way, you should be following Shaun T on Facebook - he's so positive and really helps with the workouts. Dig deep! Link to post Share on other sites

If someone told you otherwise, they never did 60 days. It's a complete workout - not just cardio. Link to post Share on other sites

Uhmmm...With all due respect, Im not talking about 10 lb pink dumbells or resistance rubberbands....You cant get a "real" strength workout in your living room..Not happening...But that is just this mans opinion...If its working for you, go for it..

MercuryMorrison1 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I have yet to try Insanity. I've been doing P90x for almost two years now and I feel a million times better since starting that. One of these day's I'll get around to Insanity, but here lately I've been doing P90x 2 and that's some rough **** man. Link to post Share on other sites
Anela Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I've avoided this, based on the name alone. I wish I had the motivation to try it. I know someone who had really good results. Link to post Share on other sites
