Insanity



Recommended Posts

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.

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. Best Wishes :)

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.

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.

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
