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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
