A college age girl at church is doing it and she says it's tough as hell. I've also heard it's harder than p90x.

It will kick your ass but it also works. Make it your goal to finish the warm up within a week. Once you get there keep pushing yourself to do a little more without stopping. Its a lot easier when you put less pressure to finish the entire video on the first week.

Hopefully you did this at home, not the gym. Otherwise, bad form, man.

That's my kind of video.

Much tougher. P90x is great if you want to get cut. Insanity is great if you want to get lean. I do p90x but sub in 2 insanity workouts

Insanity could be a bit much for a 250+ pounder. I'd say try out the original P90. It can be a little repetitive because you're doing the same 2 exercises over and over again, but I managed to stick with it when I was 255 lbs. It started me on my way to losing 60+ lbs.

now see...I wasn't gonna say anything until they jumped on the "jimping".....but I'll be hoping too! hoping I don't have a frigging heart attack!

I am at about 270 right now. I need to do something, that is for sure. May try the suggestion of just working on the warm-up until I get all the way through it. May be repetitive, but it might help me get into enough shape to do the workouts at least partway, enough to make a difference at least.

wow! 60 lbs! I'll never see the underside of 200 I'm sure. but I'd love to see 215. it's already in the mail so I reckon I'll give it a shot.

yeah this is what concerned me most, the hits to the joints. I play bball with my son and we'll set the rim 8.5 - 9 ft and dunk (yes I can actually still dunk at 9ft...barely) and I'm usually pretty sore the next day. I guess I'll either be able to take the pounding or I won't....

a guy at work told me his friend did this workout and got in trouble from his wife for sweating all over the carpet. too funny. I sweat like a hog and there's carpet all over our house. guess I better throw down a crappy blanket or something....

Toadkiller 02-08-2012 03:15 PM

I must be old since I dont know what the hell jimping is other then notches on a knife.


Oh yeah you will sweat big time with insanity.

Inspector 02-08-2012 03:34 PM

I found this to be extremely easy. Never even broke a sweat.

Of course I hired a 23 year old kid to do the workout while I watched TV and drank some beer. That was a tremendous help.

Insanity kicks P90x's ASS. I did P90x for a couple months before I just got burned out on it. tried Insanity earlier this year and said to myself "no ****ing way"

This coming from a guy that averages a 9 minute mile. NOt great but not bad either.

Just go get a stationary bike. I lost over 40 pounds using it and keep it off. Also it sits in front of my TV as well.
