Insanity Workout
Discussion
Pure cardio last night and polyometric cardio circuit the night before.
Definitely feeling the stain a little bit today. Think I need new trainers, my balls of my feet start to hurt very early on in the routine which is making it very painful. Trying to power through it though. Feeling good and pleased with how it is going.
Should be the recovery night tonight but I have footie training first so a little extra push isn't going to hurt!!

I stumbled across the Insanity videos on YouTube last week and as I have just returned from my honeymoon I thought I'd give it ago. I weigh 13 stone 5 lbs and at 5,9ft so that's a BMI of 27 so my main aim like fatpatsy is burn that fat. So here's the results of my first fitness test I must admit I was dripping of sweat by the end.
Day 1 Fitness Test
Switch Kicks - 80
Power Jacks - 35
Power Knees - 70
Power Jumps - 30
Globe Jumps - 8
Suicide Jumps - 15
Push-Up Jacks - 24
Low Plank Oblique - 30
No turning back now.....

Started week 4 last night with the pure cardio and cardio abs. Feeling a bit tired this morning. Need to have a big push this week, I have a meal out on wednesday night which I need to burn off! It is at a steak house so hopefully wont end up to bad.

cut bread and crappy sugars out and keep at it.
Insanity is ok just like p90x.
Maybe when you finish try doing classes at the gym like boxercise etc rotate them to keep it fresh.
Yeah I need to cut out bread from now on in. I've been having two slices a day of wholemeal. Topped for cottage cheese and either chicken or salmon. Been having that as two meals. 1 slice at about 12 and the other about about 2-3pm. On the diet plan you are aloud carbs as it is 40/40/20 to protein/carbs/fats. Going to cut out I few more carbs to help cut the fat a little more. Still need to eat some carbs for the energy. Insanity is ok just like p90x.

Day 2 complete and I have never sweated as much in my life, I was fine for the first 20 minutes. But as soon as the suicide drills started I started to feel the pain and had to take more and more breaks, but I finished it and am glad I did so.

Fatpasty, if you're doing Insanity, that'll be enough. It will come off if you keep doing the exercises. No need to cut out everything you enjoy.
I must admit I am not following the meal plan to the letter, I am eating heathy but i'm not being religious with it. I know this will affect my final result's and thats fine I want see what I can achieve after the first round then go from there.JasonJH said:

You've certainly chosen the wrong week to start. 30C tomorrow!The way I see it, you need to do what it will take to give you a lifelong commitment to a healthier you. If the average person goes 100% clean and exercises with any similar extreme regimen, they'll very likely get the results they want but give it a year and there's a greater chance they'll be back to their old habits and body.

That's exactly how I see it, it's not a sprint but a marathon.

I can't say I eat a lot of bread anyway. I have been eating two slices just because it was been easier at work. Today I have cut of the bread for a tub of salad with chicken and salmon. Quite a small tub but I will half at a time to make it in to two meals. Steakhouse tonight so looking forward to a juicy one later
Feeling a little tired last night after the power cardio resistance. I've got pylo cardio tonight before meal. Feeling a little tired, I included push up bars in to the routine last night to help me out. Makes the dips easier to do but also harder due to the bigger distance to travel.

Cardio Power & Resistance completed today felt easier then yesterday but still bloody hard 
.
My right knee is feeling a little weak now so I'll wear a knee support for tomorrows Cardio Recovery, still feeling good about starting it.
Good start... The recovery is pretty good. Like I said before it is like 35 mins of yoga. .My right knee is feeling a little weak now so I'll wear a knee support for tomorrows Cardio Recovery, still feeling good about starting it.
There are times when I'm pushing hard that my shins hurt a little. I used to suffer with shin splints. I have to stop for a few seconds during some exercises. But keep pushing, I'm now coming up to the end of the first 4 weeks. Then I've got a the recovery week and then month 2 which is ment to be really hard.
Looking forward to it hopefully it will help cut most of the fat.
had plyo cardio workout last night. Really pushed at the end with the jabs and uppercuts. Felt drained as hell but feeling good this morning. Should have the recovery tonight but I'll replace that with footie training and the ab workout when I get home.
