PrettyThick1 1,860 Posted September 10, 2013 You go girl! I've never done insanity, but I know someone who has and she had remarkable results in a short period of time. I had trouble keeping up with the Biggest Loser At Home Challenge. I think Zumba or some other dance-based program will suit me better...at least until I get in better shape. 1 sylvia42 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im just hoping i can! Spin class is a great way to burn calories as well! and some instructors play good music! 1 PrettyThick1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenn9585 39 Posted September 10, 2013 omg I just got done doing day 2 and I can understand why they call it insanity! my legs hurt soooo bad! any suggestions on how to relieve the ache in muscles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goalseeker 695 Posted September 11, 2013 You can do it!! No matter how sore you are in the morning work through the next workout. You will feel better after working out even if you are extremely sore. It does get better and soon you will be amazed at how much better you do on each workout and the results you see. As for sore muscles try stretching a little more but the best thing is to just rest and do it again tomorrow. You'll probably be sore for a good week but it's that good I kicked some butt sore. Be proud of yourself every time you wince from the pain. (I did Insanity twice and loved it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bassetluv 22 Posted September 11, 2013 Drink lots of Water to help flush out the lactic acid, eat a banana, and try icy hot or something equivalent. Stretching and a hot bath should also help. I've never attempted insanity but my legs felt the same way after a 6 mile bike ride when I haven't biked in 10+ years. It sucks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
