I know what you mean though. Wish I knew more about weight loss to help you out.

Have you been drinking water consistently? We sometimes "forget" to drink water in our day to day basis.

Mizouse

Pretty consistently, but not enough I think. I think I was at 5 glasses a day, so 40oz.

miz... i've only lost around 4-5 inches of waist with 50 lbs. of weight loss.

i went from a tight 36-38 to a nice fitting 32 over 8 months.

the small amount of weight loss is strange though considering how grueling the workout is cardio-wise.

PyroDave

does anyone have the set and want to pass it along? i want to try this next month

mdkxtreme

The booty you are seeking can be found at bay.

PyroDave

i didn't wanna buy it for now, i probably will if no one wants to let theirs go for cheaper

Late bump to the thread...doing Insanity myself...on day 12, and its pretty vicious. I thought the P90x Plyo workout was hard, but its nothing compared to this system.

Havent seen any weight loss yet, but eating healthy, feeling stronger, and have a lot more energy

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

keep it up! the weight loss will come.
are you dieting as well?

are you overweight at all or just trying to lean/cut up?

bkknight369

I'd say I'm average, but I guess that's what they all say

I'm strong, and used to work out a lot, but ate garbage. Yep I'm doing the elite 5 meal diet thing as well, and it sucks :P

PyroDave

lmfao.... soo, as an update. i'm starting the program tomorrow, should be fun hahaha, i love killing myself. i'll post pics eventually.

and because im starting i was rereading this thread, and now i understand what mdk said, and i feel like an idiot. but i also don't do much torrenting or anything, so thats why it went over my head. my friend mentioned the site yesterday, and i put 2 and 2 together when i read this

mdkxtreme

^ Haha it's OK man. Glad you figured out the "riddle", haha.

If you're just starting this, I don't recommend jumping in to Pure Cardio or Max Cardio. I'll tell ya, the warm up, yes the mother effin warm up, will kick your ass.

PyroDave

yea, loads of fucking fun... hahahaha. i used to run 6 miles every morning before school. that stopped happening a lil under a year ago when i got to college, and i havent worked out much since besides longboarding, volleyball, and stuff like that. insanity KICKS fucking ass. it'll probably be a bit till i can really do the program right. but im workin at it. im 5'11 and about 230ish. im a lineman through highschool, not build for intense cardio hahaha

Mizouse

just got back into this again, well i started 3 weeks ago, but stupid events prevented me from working out consistently, so i decided to just start over.

going to really try even harder and try to have a much better diet this time.

Mizouse

i had a friend to back to back insanity and then p90x.

omg he said he lost like 40lbs. definitely looks alot skinner.

CUNextTuesday

Pure Cardio - WTF?! That was ridiculous... then later this week do that AND cardio abs? >_<

Mizouse

no longer doing this program, but it was definitely my gateway into a healthier lifestyle with the dieting and now working out at the gym 4-5 days a week.

i dont forsee needing to go through it again, but i suggest it to anybody that is tryint to cut body fat. its just a great way to shed the lbs. and shed them quick.

but as i've said before, im not a fan of the shape that it tends to give people after multiple rounds.. they get an almost unnatural look to them.

but post those results guys/girls!

Mizouse

I had a friend that did 2 rounds of insanity and then followed up by p90x. Fool is ripped like crazy now...

Mizouse

But yea, some of the people I've seen do 3-4x look nasty...

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

i think its fine as long as you pair it up with other forms of workouts.

i know a good bit of people that mix their weeks up with 2-3 gym visits and 1-2 p90/insanity.. works well for them.

CUNextTuesday

I took a look at the month two vids just to see what's in store... O_O

Mizouse

Mizouse

so how many of you on those days where it shows both pure cardio & cardio abs and max cardio conditioning & insane abs on the same day do it at the same time? or do you do one work out say in the morning and the other a few hours later or in the evening?

by the time i get to the ab workouts im already dead tired!

Mizouse

Starting my "recovery" week....

Mizouse

I was looking at all the videos and saw they had one for lifting weights but it's not in the calendar. When do you do that one?

CUNextTuesday

Sooo I think I pulled my back doing this about 2.5 weeks ago - haven't done it since. I didn't notice hurting it while doing the workout, but I woke up in a lot of pain one day. It was bearable, but getting in and out of cars/bed was the worst. This was really disappointing, because I was enjoying the intense workout! I always tried to focus on my core to protect my back, but it's possible I just pushed too hard one day and pulled it. Anyone else have any injuries?

I'm finally starting to feel better, but still taking it easy. I'm literally freaking out because of all the extra energy I have from not working out. I do yoga 2-3x a week, but I need to get my heart going! I don't think I'll be coming back to insanity any time soon though . :RIP:

mdkxtreme

I pulled my back too after a long break. I believe you're getting back pain because you're not in shape. Because after I kept doing the program on a regular basis, I never had any back pains again (specifically lower back pains).

Other injuries I had were extreme tightness in all parts of my legs. I could not walk up or down any stairs. If I do, I look like a damn grandpa hugging the railings. Again, that was when I first started out after an extremely long break and jumping straight into pure cardio .

Mizouse

on the extreme tightness.

im fine now, but i just have pain in my knees from all the hopping and squatting you do.

Mizouse

uhh.. wtf.

bad idea to try and do day 1 of the 2nd month after a weekend at Vegas...

i barely got thru the fit test and just collapsed at the warmup of the max interval circuit

cM3go

I wanted to do another round of it and seeing your guys' post makes me want to change my mind.

even if you reach your breaking point on a daily basis and dont finish the full 30-45 minutes, you are still getting a hell of a workout, still worth it in my opinion.

mdkxtreme

Yea there are times when I can't do everything that they do and I won't feel bad taking a break because I know I'm just getting an ass kicking!

Mizouse

geez my coordination and motor skills are terrible, im like how the hell do i do this exercise...

^ Mines is too, but has improved markedly after working out. I dont care for Insanity though. I'm a P90X/Turbofire kind of guy.

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

well since i dont have my own progress thread, i'll just update this one from time to time.

and its somewhat relative to the thread since i did START my workout kick with insanity.

this is from day one to last weekend.
still having trouble with the mid-lower ab region even with strict dieting.

i've started to see some better results with increased amounts of running though.

CUNextTuesday

Wow, awesome progress Rockstar! Keep it up!

My back is SITLL in pain after about a whole month of doing nothing but yoga.. WTF. I have been getting slowly better, but went to two concerts this weekend and now in pain again. Fuck.

Mizouse

I got 2 weeks left and no where near where I want to be. Got the fit test today so I'll see what my progress is in terms of measurements and endurance. But weight wise, it's not budging

Gonna do another round of Insanity after this.

Considering doing P90X, but i don't have weights or a spot for a pull up bar/place to attach the rubber bands in my garage
