Insanity work-out

[Akai]

has anyone tried Shaun new DVD - Focus T25?

I am downloading it at the moment and might start as soon as tomorrow.

I've tried insanity before for a month but it's too much for my liking, kills my legs.

Are these DVD's all they are cracked up to be?

Have any of the regular gym lot tried them? If so what do you make of them?

I just don't think I would get the same personal satisfaction from working out in front of the TV compared to actually hitting the gym and lifting weights.

But to anyone who is making the effort to change their bodies and lifestyles - Well done and keep it up.

I'm gonna start T25 in the next week, done Insanity three times and need a new challenge.
Anyone done this yet? Interested to hear any feedback.
Cheers

T25 requires a lot of co-ordination. A lot, almost like learning to dance.

And as for Insanity being all it's cracked up to be, yeah it is. As for the gym thing and lifting weights. These DVDs don't cost a monthly fee with shit changing rooms and grinning roidheads. But if you're looking to put on size, move past Insanity and look at two other programs this company does. P90X and Body Beast.

Just found the song on Youtube. Makes me want to do crossjacks and uppercuts and bum the bird with the long brown ponytail till she cried spunk.

Chocolate and pot are seriously fucking this up for me.

If your being serious........ Then its decision time mate.

Either carry on looking and probably feeling like shite or get your act together and show some determination to change.

Duly noted.

Sticking to fitness but shying away from Insanity for a moment, has anyone read Mark Lauren's You Are Your Own Gym? I ask because in conjunction with Insanity I have been jogging 15-20 km each day. However, in his book he warns against aerobic exercise as it only serves to waste muscle. A bit of a kick in the balls if that is the case.

I have to agree with the above if cardio is your sole exercise regime.

Resistance training is far better imo.The health benefits are great and you'll look far better.

Nothing wrong with cardio as a supplement to weights,it will help,however certainly prioritise the resistance stuff.

I have recently started GVT training(German volume training)

It covers muscle building and cv work as it involves performing 10 sets of 10 reps with a constant weight(usually 60% of 1rep max) with 60secs between those sets.

Ive been splitting my workouts over 4 days,every other day.....

mon - legs(squats)
wed - chest(incline db press)
fri- back(deadlifts)
sun - shoulders(overhead press)


Its brutal and needs dedication and plenty of effort but its very effective.
Use this method on compound exercises(squat,deads,press etc.) and I guarantee you'll see quick results.

Decent routine that,tues and thurs, stick some heavy bag work,skipping 3 to 5,3min rounds, then a twenty min run, and you would be cooking,

Yep,good additional stuff there Gary.

Just a quick word of caution...... The above workout is very hard work,i'd suggest if youre a beginner,concentrate on adaptation and gradually build up with bodyweight exercises initially then progress to a lighter weight on the above exercises (40-50% of 1rm) to get you started.

Adequate recovery and good nutrition are vital for max results.
