Insanity work-out

just started month two again. got about halfway through but Work commitments led to a week long break. so decided to start over the month again. feeling fitter than ever not really changed diet but havibg a protein shake for breakfast. I work night shifts as well and found dribking these shakes at night meant I ate less crap. determined to finish month two this time.

Do you work night shift and then train? Fair play to you!
Second month is mind over matter. You can do it!
 
Started this yesterday. The plymo cardio circuit that i did today was a killer in the last 10 minutes, especially the press ups, steps and then jump etc.
 
Have finished the first week and its tough going. In some ways I feel the rest day threw me a little, looked forward to it but then starting again today felt more difficult. Have been eating better and more frequently throughout the day and already after one week feel better for it. Pure cardio tomorrow........GREAT!
 
I am also 8 days into it now, been doing mine in the morning before work and really struggled this morning, not had any food and also knee's are feeling a little sore. Just going to keep plugging through. Feel much better in myself, and as silly as it sounds enjoy the feeling of aching muscles, which I haven't had for a few years.
 
Just done the fitness test. Absolutely knackered.

Quick question: I don't eat a lot of protein, or have big meal portions, i just snack a lot. Should I be having a protein shake for breakfeast or something or will it make no difference (I'm doing this for fitness and abs, not for major weight loss). Cheers.

Yeah your body will adjust to the punishment after the second week and the aches will go away just have to push through it.

If you want abs it's all about diet, you need to eat a lot of protein. And no sugar. I suppose eating little and often is ok but first time around I was eating a lot of carbs, as much as I could manage and still lost over a stone on this regime. I take whey protein after training now as I'm dying to get my six pack!

The diet side is mainly for people trying to lose weight. If you are already slim and just after the fitness side of things i wouldn't get too caught up on the nutrition side, just try to eat regularly. If you can, eat porridge for breakfast to give you the slow releasing carbs that will ultimately give you the energy to do the insanity workout and eat protein within an hour or as soon as you can afterwards, (eggs are the easiest and quickest way) if you get those 2 nailed and eat reasonably healthily/varied for the rest of the day you should be fine.
 
Is it aimed at fitness bods or is it suitable for a 36 yr old who's done no physical exercise of not since high school, not fat but grooming a nice beer gut, & most definitely out of shape cardiovascularly?

Whoever mention Kerry katona DVDs, if you've got some goin spare, I don't have any standards!
 
This is killing me. Not starting until next week as I'm out on the beers Friday night. So have just done a couple of the dvd's (fit test and plyometric cardio) just to see how it is. Can barely move now, feel about 90.

Looking forward to getting started proper next week. Also dreading getting started proper next week.

I was stupidly unfit when I started it but it soon gets you into shape. The first few weeks are really going to kick your arse if your unfit but once you get through a few weeks you will look at your fitness test results and be amazed how much more you can do. It's not aimed at fitness bods but it also isn't aimed at your casual lazy gym user it really is insane.

Cheers for the quick responses, finished day two before, fucking knackered! Going to be worth it in 58 days time though

Adjusting your diet,especially upping your protein and introducing healthy fats,complex carbs will make a big difference to your recovery and subsequent progress.

Protein is essential at breakfast,before and after a workout.
