Hey Ladies!

Dangerous- I know the fit test is killer in itself... was shocked myself to get 27 pushup jacks... in retrospect maybe I should have held back a little because now I am gonna have to top that two more times LOL

Max Ininterval Plyo - (yesterday)
Holly crap... "squat pushups", "one legged V pushups", "power pushups", "Level 3 Drills", "Side Push-Ups", "Balance Push-Ups".... the onslaught of pushups last night was endless... felt like I did 200 Pushups!! Arms were like JELLO when I finally finished hahahahaha


Max Cardio Conditioning - (today)

Not as bad as anticipated LOL... the 5 minutes of "squat work" at the end left a burn I'm still feeling!

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 .

Cool

Dany87- Thanks for your opinion, and I will take it as just that. There is nothing that I am "confused" about when it comes to Insanity... Just because it didn't work for you doesn't mean it wont work for others. In fact I have lost 15 pound while on Insanity. I have before and current pics and there is a HUGE difference!!

I am confused as to why someone would tell you only slow exercise makes you lose weight. Is this person a doctor??? There are plenty of intense activities that that stimulate weight loss.

Combined with diet there is no reason a person would not be able to lose weight while doing Insanity, unless they are half asing it... and not following the program...

I will continue to keep my expectations high for Insanity as the results it has produced are PHENOMENAL, I don't do it because it "makes me feel good for doing something hard"... I do it because it is hard as **** and when you are really digging you WILL get results!!! Pictures don't lie!!!!

Melissa-You know that I will completely agree with you! Your results have been amazing so far, and I know that you love the program. Keep working and I think that you will be on your way to serious "rippedness" (lol) here very soon!

dany87
-I have lost 15 lbs with Insanity as well, and slow exercise ONLY making you lose weight, that is a crock of crap! Excuse the language. I have a bachelor's and masters in Biology (Anatomy and Physiology) and that is completely ridiculous! It really comes down to calories in/out, and if you want to get them out by walking around Disneyland every day, training for an ultra marathon, doing Insanity, or whatever exercise you follow you will lose if you are creating a deficit. It is tougher to lose the last 10 pounds because if you are in a healthy range, your body doesn't necessarily want to "give up" that weight and you have to work harder to lose the fat that your body stores for you in case you were to not have access to proper nourishment. I wouldn't blame the program, I would say that you might not have been following it correctly especially if your diet is not COMPLETELY on plan. If you are doing Insanity and not eating the proper amount of calories/protein/carbs/fat to lose that last 10 lbs. THEN YOU WON'T. Your opinion is just that, but please don't come on this forum specifically for the reason of trashing others' regimen's and expecting it to make a difference when you have completely nonconstructive advice to give. I will post my pics as well, there is a seriously noticeable difference between DAY 1 and now the end of week 4 ROUND 2 of Insanity. NO ONE could say I was "ripped" before starting!

ok, as I said you are free to do what ever you do with your time ,
I was only expressing my opinion since I lost more than 30 pounds with other cardio programs and nothing with insanity.
after I saw other peoples result I got the conclusion that insanity works only on a few type of people.
besides I don't see much difference in your picture either,in the second picture you have obviously done your best yo hold your belly back, I don't call that a weight loss , you can do that with only walking .

I don't know maybe if you are really fat insanity helps , when I was doing insanity I was like 5k overweight to be in the perfect shape.

dany-Okay so it's great that you have lost weight other ways, but we have used this program to lose weight quite well. I am also a former collegiate athlete, and I have done almost every workout on the planet: running, walking, weight lifting heavy/light, playing soccer for 6 hours a day, etc. I am SUPER happy for you that you lost with another program, but would appreciate it if you didn't come onto this thread and talk about other programs and say that it doesn't work. Again, if you didn't lose ANYTHING or see ANY IMPROVEMENT in muscle tone/body shape then I say to you-you are DOING SOMETHING WRONG. If you are telling me I am holding my belly back, how do you explain away the 15 lbs and 4% body fat I have lost doing Insanity (I get skin fold caliper tests done regularly), as well as the 3 inches in my waist and the 4 inches in my hips? If you can't see the difference then your are either blind, or jealous that other people can stick with Insanity and get results that you couldn't. I think that you should just stick to what works for you and stay out of this thread. I AM AN ATHLETE and this program WORKS and has been great for me because it is something that kicks a$$ and makes it really hard, to the point of failure to get through. If you enjoy slow exercise then join the walk away the pounds or another thread.

Default Day 20/ Week 3/ Round 1

Wow...the thread is really hopping these days! Welcome tttellier and tinneranne2

Sorry, I've been M.I.A. for most of the week ladies. No worries ...I've been digging deeper and re-calculating my threshold for pain! (Shaun T - I think I love you!)

I've got a Tip of the Day for you guys. Never...ever...ever spill an entire mug of cappuccino on your keyboard! You will ruin it forever and end up spending $ you had allotted for "entertainment purposes" on a new one! Dang...I really wanted to see Jason Momoa in the new Conan movie! Gonna have to wait another week. Then again, that won't be a bad prize for completing my first month of Insanity.

Today's workout is Plyo Cardio Circuit. I'm stalling till about 5 pm before I do it. I've decided to add 25 "suicides" to my a.m. cardio/ weight training workout. I struggle with my form during PlyoCC cause I get so tired from pushing myself through the suicides.

Melissa: Congrats on making it through a tough week! I watched most of Max Interval Plyo. Yikes!!! Been practicing that crazy donkey kick move. (The one that looks like the advanced version of skier abs.) Good lord...they are INSANE! My abs are taking a beating.

munstermommy: FYI: I broke up with my scale for good this time! From now on, I'm only going to weigh myself once every month or two. Just to make sure I'm not backsliding. I love the sense of accomplish I feel after completing my Insanity workouts. In the end, that means more to me than a number on a scale. Plus, some of my leggings are too big around the waist. So I know something great is happening to my body!

Have a wonderful day ladies.

Honestly and to be quite blunt I find your approach to be extremely rude and condescending. I do appreciate the fact you have lost weight your own way... BUT I am really irritated by the fact you are implying that we are wasting our time... and how dare you come on here and put someone Else's results down!

Insanity is NOT for everyone, just because you didn't get the results you were looking for doesn't mean as a whole the program doesn't work unless you are already in shape. For one when you are building your muscles, muscle weighs more that fat... the measurements are your moment of truth not the scale...

Since my last post I have talked with several of my friends who are either fitness junkies, athletes, or beachbody coaches and they all said the same the... your assertion that only SLOW exercise stimulates weight loss is entirely off base. Plus just a FYI I talked about doing hip hop abs before Insanity and all of em said I would get way more out of Insanity...

Please don't come on here and attack our method... if you don't like it post a thread of something you do like... just another FYI it is against the rules to say someone else's method doesn't work if you weren't asked... and we didn't ask, and frankly don't care what you think of it or how we spend our time... think it is time for you to pack up and move on... cuz just like the workout this thread isn't for you either! and have a nice day

I so so so want to do insanity! I'm going to get it as soon as I save up some money for it. I'm thinking of doing it November/December to keep me focused through the holidays (a time at which I'm very good at slacking off). I have been reading posts in this thread for a while and an so impressed with you all! Keep it up!
