Insanity

Re: Insanity

I tried insanity for a few weeks, good stuff. I wouldn't run that program all by itself, too much plyo and not enough anything else. I wish they did a rotation of exercises in the video (still keeping it cardio). Will kill your ankles in 2 weeks or less. I like to use it 1x a week when I'm not playing basketball. (in addition to a std weight lifting progrm). When I do insanity (though I only have the trial disk), I usually follow them through the warmup, then when they go back to the ply, I do situps and alternate between what they do and situps/pushups.

I run in the woods and play a fair amount of basketball and insanity still ruins my ankles, not sure how other people get through the program without issues

I do extreme cardio on days when I don't lift.On days when I lift-I limit cardio to one hour.-OD

Re: Insanity

Isn't it just plyo training? Plyo's def help cut bodyfat with the HIT style of cardio. Many professional athletes use that style of conditioning in their training regimen.

Mostly-but it makes me feel better than the Zumba class where I am in there with 98 % women !! Actually in all honesty-I kinda like the Zumba as it gives me more time to check out the scenery lol.Damn Insanity is super fast and hard to look around -OD

Re: Insanity

I loved insanity for the first two workouts. I could tell it was kicking my ass into great shape, but, after that I noticed my ankles where taking a serious beating along with my bad knees from baseball, I was a catcher all the way thru college so my knees have some serious issues.
It's a great high intensity training tho. I can see it helping with explosion strength I'd recommend to any wrestler, baseball or football player looking to condition for the upcoming season.
