ok I only registered on this forum to make a reply on this thread,apparently you have been confused about insanity as I was .
I only wanted to loose 10 pound,I did insanity for 1.5 month , I didn't see any result at all so I started googling for reviews again
a lot of people have put a before/after pictures of themselves , I didn't see any difference between their before/after pictures
but I thought maybe their body type is different or something, maybe their body is resistant to weight loss and mine is different, So I continued doing it for 1 month more,I still saw no difference ,
but because I was feeling very good about myself after doing insanity every time I kept going, it feels like you have done something really hard and
you are really proud of yourself (if you have done insanity you know what I mean
)
it also Increases endurance .
anyways , a couple of month ago I saw this couch who knows a lot about this stuff,I asked him about insanity and told him that was really intensive workout which has like 30 seconds max rest in between.
he told me this is interval training and interval training doesn't make you lose weight, and I was like wtf , then I started remembering about those before/after pictures that I saw on internet and every thing made sense .
then I asked him what makes you lose weight ? and he said only slow exercise that are more than 20 minutes,like aerobic or dancing .
and I totally agree with him, I already lost more than 30 pounds with this method last year, I was doing "billy blanks taebo cardio" , it get's boring after a week or two , but it really works , and there are a couple of them to choose from, I only this 3 of them(55 minutes) so I don't get bored.
it doesn't have a good music though so I was playing my own chosen music on background.
I did it for 3 month then I stopped because I was pretty happy with the results,
the alternative for this is dancing if you don't want to pay money ,dance for
more than 40 minutes a day , and watch what you are eating and you'll be shocked how much weight you are gonna loose in 2month .
if this method doesn't work for you nothing will and you will need to see a doctor,but it will work for 98% of people.
other thing about insanity is that insanity is for
ripped people that they want to make sure their body
stays ripped not for people who want to lose weight.
of course you can continue doing insanity if you want to have a great feeling about yourself after each workout,
but as for the result , don't expect too much
right now I want to loose 10 pounds to be in perfect shape of my life,I have started doing taebo cardio a week ago and I'm gonna add hip hop abs to my schedule (I have heard good things about it).
I'm gonna do taebo cardio in the mornings for an hour and hiphopabs in the evenings, total of 2 hours a day.
and remember
loosing weight is not a choice , It's a MUST .
