Insanity

Hi everyone!!

I'm starting my first day of Insanity today. Just wondering if anyone had pointers or suggestions you'd like to mention. Also, if you've finished can you let me know how your results are? I have no clue what to expect! My friend leant me the DVDs and printed out a copy of the schedule, but I don't have a nutrition plan or any other information. Is there a certain diet to follow, number of calories, etc?

Thanks for your help, wish me luck!

Good luck!! I was looking into it, let me know how it goes!!!

Be prepared its literally INSANE! Diet plan is basically no alcohol and 5 light meals as opposed to 3 regular meals. Make sure you're wearing comfortable shoes, once my sneakers weren't tied tight enough and I rolled my ankle (ouch!). It's really important to make sure that you're doing the exercise right and not just as much as what they can do in the video. I wasn't able to finish it because it was killing my ankles with all the jumps but I still work in a DVD here and there in addition to going to the gym. When I was doing it I saw results almost right away, I dropped two jeans sizes in 2 weeks and everyone kept commenting on how my face like thinner. It's hard work but it's worth the results! Good luck!

We're doing it now. Along with what Alyssa said I would just say be sure to follow the schedule. As for diet make sure to as you'll her Shawn T. say have something after your workout. Doesn't have to be their recovery formula but important to take something in after your workout.

I LOVEDDDDD Insanity! I actually didn't lose any weight, but I wasn't doing the diet plan. BUT I did feel a lot more fit. I actually have one of Shaun T's Rockin' Body workouts that's pretty fun too. That's more dancing whereas Insanity is more calisthenics. I also only got 6 weeks into Insanity because my body physically couldn't do a lot of the second month's workouts. I want to try it again though!

Insanity is awesome! I actually didnt lose any weight but just overall became much more toned. I didnt follow the nutrition plan too strichtly though. I agree make sure you just do the best you can and as many reps as YOU can. If you try to keep up with them in the beginning you will die. LOTS of endorphins with insanity, you'll definitely feel great from doing it.

Yes definitely have a protein shake after the workout! And make sure you're taking vitamins!

Insanity

Ok, thank you everyone. I'm so nervous, but hopefully I can handle it! I'll let you know how it goes!

FH and I are starting today too! Just keep pushing play and do your best!!!! I agree with having a protein drink after the workout to replenish! Get your sleep at night too!! Don't skimp on the diet plan either- make sure you are taking in enough calories to give you energy to complete the workout.

Insanity

You are stronger women than I am, I watched 10 minutes of the first video and almost had a heart attack watching. Ordered new spanx and called it a day. I'd cheerlead for you ladies from my couch and curse my pudgy arms on my wedding day!

Insanity

I have been wanting to try it but too scared cause I have watched some of the video from my friend that does it. My friends that do it are already skinny so they aren't doing it to lose weight but just toning. I need to lose 40lbs lol. Good luck keep us posted on your progress.

Insanity

Those of you who are doing insanity- week one is complete!!! On to week 2!!

Insanity

Me too! How was your first week? Just when I thought I was going to die I had the pleasant surprise of Cardio Recovery. Then, when I thought it wasn't that bad Pure Cardio came. I cursed it the whole time!!
