hely88 883 Posted March 2, 2013 I just saw infomercial about this and I am thinking I am to fat and to weak to do this. I know some of you already do this. Please share your experience with me and how you adapted your level of fitness to the program. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kazjim98 618 Posted March 2, 2013 Insanity is pretty hardcore.....there is a lot of jumping and side to side moving. My husband does it and sometimes I join in but there's no way I can do anywhere near what he does, so I pick and choose the parts I can do. It's like any other exercise program you get out of it what you put it, he has seen amazing results. There's also an insanity diet out there.

BandedBettyBoop 36 Posted March 2, 2013 I started it last year and had to quit bc it made my knees hurt really bad from impact, plus the weight I was carrying. I actually just tried it Thursday, since I've lost weight and about 50 lbs later, its more manageable. It's still tough. I'm not following the full program everyday but will start to incorporate insanity in my weekly routine. 1 **IP~LB** reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brannewmee 103 Posted March 3, 2013 So I do lots of zumba n it's lots of jumping, running in place, dancing n I tried insanity once n was too intense for me. My son and daughter do it all the time n tell me I should also but I don't think I'm fit enough to hang. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LJCBF 363 Posted March 3, 2013 Insanity while is an awesome workout - basically it's like P90x only it's longer anaerobic work with shorter aerobic intermixed, as opposed to the reverse as with P90x - Insanity has even more Plyometrics (jumping) and therefore it isn't really a good place to "start" exercise or if a person has or is susceptible to knee and other lower extremity joint or back issues. Without knowing more about where you are physically - I can't suggest the best workout for you but I can tell you two things: 1- A workout that's just right for where you are today does exist ! 2- That workout will have both cardio and strength aspects and should be done 6 days a week. Good luck and congrats on embracing the best thing you can do for life and health - EXERCISE! Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
