Insanity work-out

...So weird seeing this today
Ive been running (6-9k per day) and eating nowt for weeks (fruit for lunch-no carbs at all in the evenings-no sugar & no alcohol) but dont seem to be losing anything!!!Nightmare
I saw this on telly this morning and it looked interesting, but i thought it was the usual informercial bollocks. But seeing this thread from reasonable liked minded people (not cheesy stupid yanks) has made me think twice about it.
Can anyone pm me the vid/link. I dont have £200 but i do have knackered tendons from running on cracked pavements! Also how the hell do you nkeep on top of the food from just a video? It sounds like you have to take a degree in 'foody-ology' to know what the fuck your eating??
Any help from anyone will be massively appreciated. Ive tried everything now and need to get in shape badly. Thanks all

How many days a week? I think you have hit a wall thats why I always switch up my training. After a while the body just adapts and decides "hmmm I am used to this so I will not burn any more fat." You have to trick it to think that it needs to burn fat. This means smaller meals more frequently, changing training patterns every 6/8 weeks. The right amount of rest so muscles can rebuild and the right nutrients for your body.

6 days per week recently. I think your totally right there mate-I know nothing about fitness and have just made my own fucked up regime from bits i have picked up when in failed gym memberships. Im going to give this a good go and see how i get on. I love getting a sweat on and the fact you can do in your house is great. Thanks for the advice. Hopefully a new start!
 
Cardio Power and Resistance done. Starting to get stronger towards the end of the workouts which I had hoped for. Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs tomorrow. Going to swap Cardio Abs with Insane Abs and see how that goes. Also saw you can swap Core Cardio and Balance in recovery week to Max Interval Sports Training which I'm going to do. All my body is changing and have the top 4 abs through but the little bit of belly and side fat is still there :-(

Max interval sports is the best one, IMO. It's an hour, and IIRC, you don't repeat anything, you just do new move after new move. Top stuff.
 
I have read through most of this thread.....and I am intrigued and have some questions.

I was reasonably fit 5 or 6 years ago. Half marathons in sub 1.45 etc and didn't carry mush weight.

I now do bugger all and have developed a gut.

Thing is I am now 45 and is this a wise thing to jump straight into ?


If you guys think so can some one PM me with the revelant info......????

Cheers in advance.

You'll be fine with this, Its fucking hard but basically your just doing what you can do. there will be times where you need a rest and they are still going on the screen, you just have a short break the key is to start again as soon as you can and push yourself as far as you can go.
thats how i see it.

put 'insanity workout' into youtube and there are loads of before and after vids with some right fatties on it so i rekon if you have the drive, anyone can follow it.

For the link info Bobs your man/woman
 
Like the guy on the other page. Really struggling to work out this whole diet business.

My fitness is improving and I am confident I will see changes but if you don't have a good diet it will be all wasted.

Does anyone here have any more knowledge about diets and nutrition etc?

whys it not working?

How far in are you Robbo? Thought you'd only just started?

It would be interesting to know with these videos how closely they followed the nutrition stuff
 
Just done Cardio and Resistance, into the second week of the program now...
Still really hard, but feel like I'm improving...

I've noticed that when I take a break, I feel like I can't go on, but if I do, it's surprising how many more I can do, considering I thought I was done...

Had scrambled egg with onion, tuna, and a dash of spicy sauce on wholemeal toast for lunch too... yummy
 
So I've been thinking about doing this but not sure if it's appropriate - am 37, fit enough for football once per week, am relatively slim and happy with my body apart from the general aches and pains that come with my age/level of inactivity which leads me to thinking that maybe I should venture into the world of yoga instead?

Anyone have any opinions / recommendations as to which program I should follow and whether it's worthwhile?

Fwiw the missus who had out second child 5 months ago is up for the wildfire program (thanks for link bob!) so will report back on her progress :)

Cheers
 
I'm 33, have a bmi of 30% and did very little activity really, and am really enjoying doing it.
I also had a sore ankle, which seems to have cleared up from doing the exercises, finally it does contain quite a lot of yoga as well. Id give it a go if I were you :-)
