I'm just starting insanity after two rounds of P90X. I'm only a few days into insanity, but am a lot less sore than I expected to be. I do have some thoughts/concerns with insanity though, namely:
-The workouts are so much shorter than the X workouts, I sometimes feel like they're over before I really get into it. I do obviously sweat a ton and am breathing rapidly most of the time, but I fear I'm so concentrated on just learning the moves and trying to keep my form that I don't constantly contract my core like he's always saying to. Sometimes I'm just breathing too hard to tighten my abs. Maybe I just need to give it time, get to know the moves better, and once I have some strength and endurance built up I can focus more on that ab constricting? I was getting really great at the X plyo workout and love that I just had to add a few more reps, etc., to keep it a high intensity workout. I also liked that the actual workout out was a considerable amount of time. The insanity warm ups are intense, but manageable. But once the stretching is done, there's barely 20 minutes of actual workout time. Is that really enough? I was doing the X doubles before, and I'm still supplementing some kickboxing in the AM, then insanity at night. I just feel like this round of insanity is about getting the hang of the program, and I might need to do a second round to really see any benefit. Or maybe a p90X-insanity hybrid would be great since I miss the weightlifting from the X. Ok maybe I'm just rambling on...but those are my thoughts at the moment. I know, i know, dig deeper...bring it...so long as I keep my butt moving I can't really go wrong! |
insanity
I just started insanity today so I dont know how well its going to work for me, my biggest issue is I cant find anyone in my situation. Im 5'10 120lbs so losing weight or inches off my waist would be pretty much deadly for me!! im already underweight and eat a ton. Im confused with how I should diet with this program and how to input it on this site correctly!! Im guessing I need to increase my protein and carbs with shakes etc?

If you're underweight you should talk to a nutritionist on how to gain weight safely.

I did the Insanity program. I really noticed the results in the second month and closer to the end of the program. It is hard but worth it. I did adjust my diet and started to mostly eat smaller more frequent meals that were more nutritious with some "bad" meals to remind myself I was still alive. I did not follow the program's diet though. I lost 4% body fat and went from 222 lbs to 204. I had lifted weights and mixed cardio in for several years. I am back to lifting again but with more of the HIIT mentality after I saw how it worked in Insanity. The hardest part of the program is the burnout near the end.
