Insanity Workout

[ganny]

Any of you ever tried the beachbody workouts? I have done p90x and now am trying the insanity dvds. I really didnt care for the p90x. I really enjoy free weights and p90 just didnt do it for me. I am about to the second month of insanity and really enjoy it. Still not even close to what the people on the dvds can do, but I am holding my own. It really kick your arse. Picked up a heart monitor that tracks calories burned. You program it with height, weight, age, sex and it tracks your heart rate and estimates calories burned. I have hit close to 1000 before for a 40 minute workout. I am sure it is off by some margin, but definitely feeling the burn. Anybody else doing it?

I downloaded the Insanity Workout a few months back, but haven't properly got round to trying it yet... did a few days of it and it was pretty brutal. But then had to go away and work so put it on hold

I'd love to think I'm the type that could hack it, but sadly...I don't think it's for me.

I haven't done it and doubt I will any time soon. I think it's still a little too intense for me, LOL I'll stick to my twice daily gym workouts and my DanceFit classes. LOL

Good job, though...keep up the good work!!!

I have done the Beachbody workouts a few years back. I like their use of the workout balls/ dumb bells/step and the metal bar. Is this insanity workout a newer/more advanced version? I also did P90x last year, although the more advanced exercises of P90 were straining my back a lot hence shifted to Zumba which is so much FUN and doesn't feel like a workout at all.
