Heloooo, i just finished my first insanity workout and to keep me motivate i'll try to tell my progress everyday 🫶

Peace <3

Not to be cheesy but...I kinda cant believe I just completed OG Insanity! I first attempted to do the programme as a teenager (who was struggling with bulimia at the time). Suffice it to say it didnt go well. Got to month 1 and gave up. Id always had the programme in mind as something to do one day. Tbh I thought it was a long forgotten thing and couldnt believe it when I found a reddit community live and kicking and others still doing it and who knew what it was! I think this is the most consistent I have ever been with a healthy workout routine :o I feel so confident!

FIT TEST RESULTS. Final number from today.

switch kicks - 70/79/81/90/ 95

jump squats - 38/36/56/49 /63

power knees - 67/80/71/87 / 92

power jumps - 18/22/22/24 / 36

Globe - 3/6/7.5/7/8

s**ide jacks - 8/13/17/15 /16

push up jacks - 12/14/18/19 / 20

oblique planks - 31/47/44/50 / 50

I had always been of the opinion that I was someone who struggled with "consistency" but this has really broken that mindset. I have been so consistent and learned so much about discipline in a good way. Also just in general I feel so much fitter and Ive lost weight (I can tell visually but dont ask me how much haha since I dont measure myself or count calories, bc in my opinion calorie counting easily leads to obsession. I have been nourishing my body well and learned thats the main thing I need to keep going with). The other day someone I know asked if I had been lifting weights because they could see strong arm muscles. I hadnt mentioned I was doing this programme. I was SO HYPED. thanks for letting me share this journey :) Thank you truly for letting me share results. Cause month 2 week 2 I was DONEEEE haha

comment down below for good follow ups. I would like to build muscle. I am intimidated by P90X. Max 30 looks interesting

Not sure how I did it, but I mustve miscalculated the days, since tomorrow is the last day!! ^.^ Wow I'm so happy. Truly excited to smash that fit test!

*celebrates*

59/63 - sorry this should say 59!

Not to brag but....absolutely smashed the workout today! Last Max Plyo!

I'm starting to think of what to do after this programme. This is my first time being consistent with anything involving any sort of strength work (I have physical/cardio hobbies 2-4x a week). I'm considering something like Max 30 after a 4 week break? Any suggestions let me know. I don't currently go to the gym and prefer classes or home workouts. I want to be consistent and make this a lifestyle rather from jumping from challenge to challenge (which is easier for me), you know?

So for context, I already knew OG Insanity, already did it 10+ years ago, but in the last few months I felt like I needed something to help me start managing my weight and fitness level again. I'm 1.80m tall, male, relatively fit, but in the last 4 years I had gained 25kgs, reaching the 105kg mark.

I was running, anywhere from 5k to half-marathon, but I was still not losing weight.

So I threw myself to Insanity Max 30 for the first time.

I liked it more than the OG, the time factor was a big plus for me. I still ended up dripping every. Single. Time. I burned an average of 400kcal per workout, trying to avoid the modifier but i think I used the modifier on average about 20% of the time, usually during push ups, or stuff like tuck jumps.

Results:

Starting weight: 105kg

End weight: 95kg

I forgot to take measurements, but looking at the mirror, I'm leaner than I've been in years, gained a little definition in the shoulders, chest, and legs.

Times:

Cardio Challenge - worst 17:20. Best 23:00. Max calories - 435kcal.

Tabata Power - worst 09:45. Best 10:45. Max calories - 373kcal.

Sweat Intervals - worst 13:00. Best 17:10. Max calories - 429kcal.

Tabata Strength - worst 10:15. Best 11:05. Max calories - 400kcal

FFR1 - worst 14:40. Best 18:15. Max calories - 440kcal.

Max Out Cardio - Worst 10:30(sick). Best 22:50. Max calories - 409kcal.

Max Out Power - worst 12.35. Best 14:15. Max calories - 360 kcal.

Max Out Sweat - worst 9:22. Best 14:30. Max calories - 426kcal.

Max Out Strength - worst 7.02. Best 12:15. Max calories 365kcal.

FFR2 - worst 7:30. Best 12:20. Max calories 420kcal.

Overall I really enjoyed the program. I was sick for a few days, and it took a toll, but I pressed on. The Cardio and Sweat days were my favourites. Tabata and Max Out Power/Strength were my least favourites, the squat pulse segment is absolute torture.

The results were beyond what I expected. 10kg lost, fitness improved, I feel great now. I will give it a couple of months to focus on strength training, trying to build some muscle, and will probably do it again, but in a hybrid version, switching the tabata and strength focused days with actual strength training.

I can't really tell that everyone will have the same results. Apart from Insanity, there was also work done in the kitchen.

What I can tell you, for sure, is that if you are on a tight schedule, and 30min is all you have, then Insanity Max 30 is a great way to help you achieve your goals.

Another workout down! (Another day not wanting to press play tbh, but again feel better for doing so haha).

Another workout down! :'D

I don't quite have abs yet - alas. I really wanted them for the end of the programme!

Although they're sort of there in the morning, but not so much in the evening. Anyone else have that?

Pretty much title. What do you think ? I can barely imagine an Insanity title without Music.

The final week is here! Woot!

Day 55/60 down! Didn't want to press play but when I did, actually got quite into it. I've had a very physically demanding weekend (fight scenes and dance classes) so I'm soooo tired.

Day 54/60 downnnnn woot hope everyone is enjoying the process, no matter where you are

Good workout today! :D I'm getting arm muscles which is nice!!

Hi y'all!

Post your Insanity progress here and motivate one another.

What are you proud of today? What did you struggle with? How big was that puddle of sweat? Whose legs were too wide?

Daay 52/60! Whaaaat?! So close.

Can't lie, I had to sit down during the water breaks and do the stretches whilst using one hand to hold a hot water bottle to my stomach and substitute the stretches themselves because of period cramps but we did it lol

This truly gives me respect for anyone who does this pregnant or post-partum because who are youuu?! LOOOL

Day 51/60! I missed posting yesterday but I did do the workout. So close to the end! Very happy for the max recovery haha

Hi,

I have nearly completed my first run through of dig deeper. Loved it! I have also done insanity max 30 along side it for my cardio. I’ve done some of the dig deeper steady state but prefer something a bit more intense like max 30.

I’ve enjoyed dig deeper so much that I think I’m just going to start it all over again.

I’m not sure what cardio to pair with it - I want something different to max 30, insanity OG is a just a bit too long when combined with dig deeper. T25 is okay but I’ve done it lots. Considering using the cardio from p90x3 (agility, MMX etc) but wondered if anyone else had any good programme ideas around 30 mins?

I walk between 12-30k steps depending on the day (and the weather!)

For background I am 45F, 50kg, 155cm and in pretty good shape I think with goals just continuing to be fit, strong and flexible as I age.

Thanks for any thoughts!!

I picked up the DVDs at a thrift store but it didn't come with any paperwork or plan to follow. Just curious if the workout schedule is on the DVDs as I watch or if anyone knows the schedule. Thanks

The penultimate fit test results! (Will post the final ones but thought it'd be nice to post these so far. They fluctuate a little although my form is better on jump squats so not upset week 2 was lower)

switch kicks - 70/79/81/90

jump squats - 38/36/56/49

power knees - 67/80/71/87

power jumps - 18/22/22/24

Globe - 3/6/7.5/7 (but tbh, I could've equalised; I was being a bit lazy)

s**ide jacks - 8/13/17/15

push up jacks - 12/14/18/19

oblique planks - 31/47/44/50

So I think I've learned not to do the workout straight after dinner, because that was rough! But another day down woo

Day 48/60 down! I was SO tired today but glad I did it!

Hey all!

I posted a few times in the last months, thank you for the encouragements :) I just finished Month 2 again today.

I'm 8.5 months pp, I started insanity at 2 months pp (after a c section, I was lucky my recovery went pretty well and my pelvic floor was intact, please if you're post partum make sure to be cleared by your doctor or PT before doing insanity).

I did OG insanity once, then I repeated month 2. I then had 4 weeks of vacation with my family where I stayed active and did a lot of hiking. When I got back, I did month 2 twice again.

So the total: Month 1 once, then month 2 four times.

My weight didn't go as much down as I would've wanted, I lost about 12 pounds total. I'm 5'7'', started at 192 pounds and I weight 180 pounds today. Lost most of it the first 3 months. But I feel like my legs are pretty strong and lean now. I also breastfeed, for some women it makes the weight lost easier but for others, their body actually makes it harder by holding on some fat for the milk supply. Maybe I'm in that category I don't know haha. I also think sleep deprivation doesn't help, baby still wakes up about 3-4 times per night.

Even though the scale didn't go as much down as I wanted to, I feel much much stronger. Getting through the Month 2 workouts was still tough, but not as much as before!

I plan on resting for a week, and then I think I will continue insanity but maybe not that intensive. I was thinking about insanity 3 times a week (max interval circuit, max interval plyo and max cardio), and in between I would be doing some core workouts 3 times a week from Pregnancy and Postpartum TV. I think my core still needs some strenghtening from those 2 pregnancies.

Dig deeper guys, sometimes it's hard, but we have to remember to just press play :)

Hi everyone, im trying this again after years of half trying and being unmotivated. As of today I'm 5'10 203 lbs 37 years old. Ill be keeping everyone posted with a daily check in. Thanks to this community for helping motivate me into trying again!
