Anyone Doing Or Did Insanity....



Recommended Posts

Banded 3/5/12 down 25 doesn't seem like enough but I'm not complaining... Skin is loose so I know that exercise works for me but I've been a little down the last few Months and figured my head isn't really into what I should be doing had a few slip ups a few stuck moments but I'm back in the game now. Starting insanity today looking for some results , has anybody done this or p90x?

I am doing insanity. I think the sign of a good workout is if you are sore the next day and man I am always sore, but I think of it as the muscles are growing. They are real short like 40 mins and I like the stretches.

I LOVE the Insanity workout. Well, it's a love/hate. I hate getting ready to do it, kind of hate doing it, then LOVE it after I'm done. I picked Insanity over P90X because I didn't need to buy any other equipment (chin-up bar, etc). I did Insanity all the way through last year, now I just do a workout or two casually. It's an excellent full body routine.

I did it for the first two weeks...and then I wussed out. It was really cool and I loved how I felt afterwards, but it was a little tough on my knees. I'll try it again after I get down to 215-220 or so. :)

I'm doing P90X right now. I'm in my 7th week of it. I can't say I've lost weight but I've altered my eating and lost 4 pounds last week. I can tell you my wife thinks my legs are toned and show muscle definition.

If you tell people you are doin insanity they'll be very impressed at your dedication to excersise.

Knock it out an do the work and the results will AMAZE you.

Never tried Insanity, but I have tried P90X and literally thought my heart was going to explode out of my chest. It was way too hard on my body. I would like to try something like P90X or Insanity when I am closer to goal weight though.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
