Sorry for all the posts but I was just wondering if anyone else was doing the Insanity workout? I'm on day 8 and it's BY FAR the hardest workout I've ever done!! It really is completely insane. But I want to feel confident in a bikini this year and to be able to maintain it all the way to my wedding. I'll 'finish' the routine in the beginning of May and I'll prob alternate running and some of the DVD's when it's done.
How long does it take to see results? So far I haven't lose a pound!

Re: Any Insanity girls?
I am! I'm on week 6 which is the beginning of the max workouts and it's insane. I have been sore for 2 days but it's great! So far, I've lost 5 lbs and inches off my arms, waist, thighs and hips. It's awesome but my weight loss is also b/c the diet. I love this program! I'm literally sweating like a mofo every single morning!
It's by the same people who make P90X. I have looked at both and I think Insanity is better for women because it has more cardio and less emphasis on weight lifting. It is SUPER HARD and is based on interval training! But I love it because I know it has to work--it hurts too much not to
The other bonus is that you work out so hard that you end up wanting to stick to a healthly diet so all the hard work doesn't go out the window! I usually go way overboard on the weekends but this past one I wasn't even interested in binging There's a diet plan that goes along with it too that really emphasizes eating 5 small meals a day to maintain your metabolism. It's hard for me since I've tried this before, especially since I have invisalign and have to take them out every time I eat and then brush my teeth....but everyone says eating this way is better for you anyway!
If you decide to do it, good luck! I have nothing but good things to say so far!

thanks! i literally screamed this morning b/c it was so tiring but i pushed myself. the max workouts are also 60 min vs the earlier workouts that are 40 min
When I 1st saw the commercial I was like No way! They're biting off of P90X!!
Then I realized they were made by the same people... whoops! hahaha

Re: Any Insanity girls?
oh man i have never heard of it but now i am on the website and totally contemplating ordering...but my wedding is in 65 days so if i want to do it i need to do it now!!
so a few questions for you girls that are doing it:
- the workouts are 40 mins? - do you need to have weights and other equipment? - do you need to have a big area to do it?
anything else weird i would need to know about it before taking the plunge? i am trying to be real budget right now since we're down to the wire, but i have been soo bad with the exercise so maybe this would jump start me..
im obvi torn so any advice would help -- thanks!!

Hello!
The workouts are 40 minutes I believe until week 6? Then they are an hour (yuck.) Not 100% on thwne the times change though
You need ZERO equipment! For 1 workout they whipped out a mat but that's really not required
You don't need a very large area--I do it in prob a 6 X 8 space.
I don't have any advice I can think of--just an FYI we ordered it off ebay for cheaper! Don't bother with Amazon they cancel your order every time for whatever reason GOOD LUCK!

exactly this! week 6 and forward seems to be an hour long. The first day of week 6 though, it's 25 minutes for the fit test PLUS the 1 hr max circuit training.
i do this in a tiny tiny space also! good luck!

the excel sheet that they have in there where you track your progress (for the fit test as well as your weight and measurements) really keep me motivated! i also take weekly pictures...although i've been slacking and haven't done the past 2 weeks! oops!
