Has anyone ever done the insanity workout?

[Anonymous]

Ive done a few days and I am pretty amazed at how hard it is. I have workout a lot and never worked so hard. I am just curious what others have thought about it. From what I read so far it is normal to lose 1000 calories in a less than hour workout.

what does it entail? It sounds like a scam- less is often more when working out and once people realize this, they start to see their best gains.

lol @ lose 1000 calories. I can already tell this thing seems like BS. Losing weight is about diet, not routine. Do you have any information about the program?

If you work off 1000 calories a day you're going to lose weight. As long as you're using more energy than you're eating you're going to lose weight. Most people who do cardio to lose weight burn about 900 calories in an hour long period - it's not that farfetched.

Non stop workout 45 mins to an hour. No weights or anything There's like a 5 mins stretch in the middle and a cool down at the end. But it depends on the day. The workout changes everyday. Like I said I've been workout for awhile now and never worked this hard.

Goose- not if you don't follow your diet. Sounds like it's easy to overtrain on it too because if you're trying to lose weight and lower your caloric intake, then you're not refueling your body as much. Also @ question asker, it definitely doesn't sound too legit. Believe it or not, you can't shock your muscles and it's best to stick to one routine and use progression to help reach your goals. It sounds like HIIT would be a better option for one trying to lose weight and compound lifts for muscle.

Actually sounds a bit like p90x. Can't type too much in the comment lol. I think that it might work, but your diet really has to be in check if you're going to workout everyday. the reason something like p90x works is because of the dietary guidelines. It all depends on your goals- good luck

Yea it is Hiit. I have been on a very strict diet for awhile.

This is where I got it from its usually like 3 payments of 40$

Thanks for the torrent- I'm not going to download it but if it's working for you, then keep it up. Good luck with the rest of your training man!

If you're putting 45 minutes to an hour in, then of course you don't believe this. No one who does that soft-core cardio crap would never believe or even try something as high intensity as this.

P90X comes in at a close 2nd when it comes to cutting, but the Insanity work out is definitely not something to be taken lightly, the Insanity work out being the most efficient for cutting your body fat, and burning calories off. Kudos to anyone that does it and keeps with it.

that is an extremely intense workout. When I'm on the elliptical, usually for an hour I'll burn around 600-700 calories. so I can't imagine what 1000 calories would be like, I'd probably faint doing that work out.

Yea I am sure I am not doing 1000 if I was able to do the whole thing 100% I probably would. But I find myself taking 20 secs breaks a lot to catch my breathe.
