INSANITY Workout – any CP Insanity veterans in here??
So my daughter says to me the other day…. “Hey Dad, you said you were going to get back to working again right? Let’s buy Insanity and do it together.” So I said (having no friggin idea what Insanity IS)…. “Sure. Sounds great.”
Well now I’m doing some research on it and I’m actually a little sick to my stomach. She’s a 6 foot solid muscled 18 year old (that somehow thinks she’s out of shape….women!) and I’m a 6 foot 250 lb 46 year old for Gods sake! I mean….I’m not a blob or anything. I’m pretty active....OK fairly active. I can still bust some moves on a basketball court…..I just gotta play the half court game now you know? I hit the treadmill from time to time. But for crying out loud what I’m reading about this workout is scaring the crap outta me! I’m really not sure I’ll be able to do this. Anyone went through this thing? This frigging workout is gonna show up in the mail any day now and……gulp…..I’m a-scairt! |

You won't have a heart attack. You'll work out as hard as you can, then your mind will give up. Don't worry about hurting yourself because you won't.

From the commercials, it looks like the latest knockoff of p90x (or whatever that was a knockoff of).... so, do your best and forget the rest.

I was never a lazy, sedentary out of shape guy before starting Insanity, but had a bit of a gut I was looking to lose and this workout did it quickly. I will say, it is going to kick your butt if you put the effort in. The first several weeks of workouts I was routinely at 170-185 BPM for a good portion of the workouts/intervals. Now I have a resting HR in the low 60s. Do it man, it works. |

I did the insanity workout and I am slim, but insanely out of shape. It will work you well, but as I recall he also gives recommendations of slight modifications to every exercise for those that need the help.
I also didn't feel so bad about taking breaks during the workouts when I saw the other people in the videos taking breaks in the middle as well. |

It will kick your ass but it also works. Make it your goal to finish the warm up within a week. Once you get there keep pushing yourself to do a little more without stopping. Its a lot easier when you put less pressure to finish the entire video on the first week.
