I'm starting insanity this week with a mix of P90X. If anyone else is starting, hit me up! It's a lot easier to keep true to this stuff when someone is going through the same thing. Good luck to y'all. </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/skinny-fat-girl-just-ordered-insanity-need-advice#post-2236 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:30:56 +0000 Sean 2236@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>Definitely you will gain muscle and tone. Check out my before and after pics as I am a thin male. You should definitely add some protein to your diet. I use protein powder, you can see a review here: <a href="http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/nutrition/protein-powder-supplements/" rel="nofollow">http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/nutrition/protein-powder-supplements/</a> </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/skinny-fat-girl-just-ordered-insanity-need-advice#post-2235 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:39:02 +0000 keyskelly 2235@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>I just ordered Insanity and I am super excited about it! But I need some advice. I would consider myself "skinny fat", as I am thin, but NOT toned at all. I am 34 years old, 5'4" and 112 lbs., so I am hoping this will build some muscle on me. Does anyone have any tips to make sure I won't lose my almost non-existent muscle mass and any way that I can ensure maximum muscle growth? Maybe just increasing my protein during this 63 days of Insanity? I am not trying to be a body builder or anything, just some good tone to my legs, arms, and core.<br /> Thank you for any tips! </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/thinking-of-starting-p90x#post-2234 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 14:35:40 +0000 Sean 2234@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>Awesome stuff Cas! I ordered a joist mount pullup bar that is on its way. I will have to install this in my basement because I don't have a doorway in the house that fits the Iron Gym bar. </p> <p>If all goes well, I plan on starting a week from Monday, I will keep you posted! I did preview a few of videos and I kind of agree that Tony is annoying . . . oh well, we will see! </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/thinking-of-starting-p90x#post-2230 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:12:09 +0000 Cas 2230@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>I should mention too, I suggest using resistance bands for the Chest &amp; Back workout, unless you are a rockstar at doing pull-ups. I struggle with them a bit, and really think I am getting more benefit from using the bands instead. For the Arms &amp; Shoulders though I would suggest using a set of dumbbells. I used bands the first time through and I really didn't feel like I got the most out of the workout. I picked up a set of adjustable dumbbells for week 2, and definitely felt the difference. Bands will work if you don't have any dumbbells and don't want to get any, but at least in my opinion, weights are better for the lifting workouts. </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/thinking-of-starting-p90x#post-2229 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:03:34 +0000 Cas 2229@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>I actually decided to start doing P90X myself since it is pretty much a structured version of the cardio/weight training hybrid that I was attempting to do with Insanity and my weights. I just finished the 2nd week last night, and so far I am liking it for the most part. </p> <p>One thing I will say though is that the cardio is pretty tame compared to Insanity. The plyo workout is called the "mother of all P90X workouts" but to be honest, it doesn't compare to any of the month 1 Insanity workouts, at least in my opinion. The Kenpo X is a bit weak as well, but it makes up for it by being fun. I picked up some ankle weights and wrist weights to add some resistance to the punching and kicking, and that seems to add some difficulty to it.</p> <p>Also, Tony Horton annoys me. I don't know what it is about the guy, but he just gets on my nerves sometimes. </p> <p>I say you should do it though. There is enough variety in the workouts to make it fun, and there is something motivating about feeling your muscles tighten up and feel "harder" (and this is after just 2 weeks). Plus, for me, the goal of completing the 90 days is more of a motivating factor than "re-completing" 60 days of Insanity again. Since you're wanting to build muscle mass, I think it will be just what you're looking for. </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/thinking-of-starting-p90x#post-2228 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:09:43 +0000 Sean 2228@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>I have graduated from Insanity and loved it!

I have high hopes.... </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/hoping-insanity-can-transfrom-me#post-2224 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 01:57:53 +0000 sullivanp63 2224@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>Hey Sean, You should try protein after your work out it will help with your recovery.. </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/decisions-decisions#post-2223 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 03:08:40 +0000 Cas 2223@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>So recently I put together a workout schedule for myself that alternates between Insanity and weight training, and am nearing the conclusion of my "warm-up" period where I am sort of "easing" my way back into the program (my cardio is pretty lacking as of late). This coming wednesday marks the beginning of the actual program, but I am not 100% sure if I want to stick to what I drew up, or just do a full 9 week run of Insanity. </p> <p>I took a look back at my before and after pictures from my first round, and knowing how well I did originally has me leaning towards powering through 63 more days. On the other hand, I remember how I felt after those 63 grueling days, and how glad I was to just be done with it all. </p> <p>I have a feeling that if I do just Insanity, I might get bored with it or end up the same as last time and fall out of the workout habit again. I think that by mixing things up a bit in an alternating rotation of sorts that I might not be so beaten up after completion, and the variety might keep me from getting bogged down. Of course, I am a bit worried that I probably won't see the same fast-paced results and may become discouraged.</p> <p>So far I am undecided as far as which approach to take. Ay suggestions/advice? </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/new-years-resolution#post-2222 Sun, 25 Dec 2011 02:51:55 +0000 Cas 2222@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>I'm actually somewhat in the process of doing another round. For a while I've been working out on a semi-regular basis but not getting the results I want (or that I got from Insanity), so I decided to add the Insanity routines to my schedule. Two weeks ago I threw in the Plyometric Cardio Circuit and struggled terribly with it. I haven't really been doing any cardio, so needless to say I was out of breath by the end of the warm-up. So to ease myself back into it, I've been warming up every session by doing the Insanity warm-up. </p> <p>Starting next week I am going to be alternating between weights one day, cardio the next, and for my cardio days I am going to do Insanity (I figure my lungs should be in decent enough shape to get through a dvd by then). The schedule I put together runs through April 11, and will complete a round of Insanity over the course of 16 weeks (albeit on an every-other-day type of system).</p> <p>So yeah, I'm up it. </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/new-years-resolution#post-2221 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:57:26 +0000 Sean 2221@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>Let's all commit to starting and FINISHING a round of Insanity in the New Year . . . who's with me??? </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/to-lose-weight#post-2220 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:00:23 +0000 Sean 2220@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>As far as posting pics goes, what i do is host them on another site (like photobucket or imageshack) and then post them here with the html code (which the site provides for you). <a href="http://www.imageshack.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.imageshack.com/</a> </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/no-soy-or-lactose-need-suggestions-for-recovery#post-2219 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 23:10:17 +0000 emilykate321 2219@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>Does anyone have suggestions for me?

THe first time round by day 3 my calf muscles were killing me, I could hardly walk. I decided I must of done some damage to them ( nto sure how) so I took a 4 day break and I am now back to the start again.</p> <p> So I am sticking to the diet laid out and I am supposed to take in around 3500 calories a day!!!! and I am hoping Insanity can transfrom this slightly tubby figure into a lean cut shape!</p> <p>My Stats (as of now)<br /> Weight: 168 Pounds (12 Stone)<br /> Height: 188cm (6ft 2 Inches)<br /> shape: erm slightly rounded with no definition.</p> <p>I do hope Insanity will work for me. </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/what-does-insanity-do#post-2208 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 15:45:45 +0000 Sean 2208@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>You will work every muscle in your body, but with plyometrics. You will certainly lose fat doing this as it is all cardio based. If you are looking to get toned this is definitely for you. Take a look at some of the results people have had and decide for yourself! </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/what-does-insanity-do#post-2207 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:30:56 +0000 msmil 2207@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>I mean, bascially i just want to get leaner. Like less flabby and more toned. I was doing P90X, but after a year of it, i wasn't seeing any more results, so now i have this program. But, I'm leary about follwing the schedule because i dont want to lose muscle and this seems like it;s alot of intense cardio. So is this program mostly just for cutting body fat, or what? </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/insanity-is-already-kicking-my-butt#post-2206 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 21:26:31 +0000 ashxoxo89 2206@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>So I'm on day 2 and holy crap. I could hardly keep up with the video and I am sore!</p> <p>About me.. I'm 22, female.<br /> I'm very short, 4'11" and I'm around 112lbs. My goal is to cut about 10 lbs and build muscle and tone everything up.<br /> I've done P90x and Insanity can't even compare!</p> <p>I can't wait to post my before and after pictures :) </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/is-cardio-circuit-and-plyo-cardio-circuit-the-same#post-2205 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 14:21:00 +0000 Sean 2205@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>Congratulations on starting Insanity!

I finished P90x not too long ago and although starting it was difficult, it was nothing on this stuff. </p> <p>I could double up P90x workouts without any trouble as long as I had the time, I don't think I could do 2 of these in a row if my life depended on it.</p> <p>Jim </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/upper-body-and-weight-training#post-2203 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 15:04:36 +0000 Sean 2203@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>Did you order the official DVD's? <a href="http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/news/the-official-insanity-workout-dvds-how-to-buy-them-not-get-ripped-off/" rel="nofollow">http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/news/the-official-insanity-workout-dvds-how-to-buy-them-not-get-ripped-off/</a> </p> http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/topic/upper-body-and-weight-training#post-2202 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 20:54:59 +0000 kcrum 2202@http://www.crazyworkoutblog.com/forum/ <p>I just received my package and I'm watching each DVD for quality and when I watched the Upper Body and Weight Training DVD, it was unwatchable after the 25 minute mark.
