Insanity Workout

Hi Gals,

i see that some of you have been doing the insanity work out.  my brother gave me the dvd's...i am going to start this week.  just a few questions:  do i need any weights or anything?  do you wear sneakers?  or go barefoot or w/ socks?  any other tips would be super helpful!

TIA!

DH does Insanity.  Unlike P90X, there are no weights or bands required.  It's probably better to wear good tennis shoes - there is a lot of jumping and moving involved and doesn't look like barefoot would be a good idea.  You also need a decent size area to move around (at least 6' x 12' as an estimate).  Good luck - it kicks Dh's butt, and he is very fit.

I just finished month 1 and it is AMAZING!!!!! You will push yourself harder than you can even imagine, and nothing but your own body :-) I also agree that you need a good amount of space and really good shoes! GOOD LUCK!!!

Thanks, Ladies!
i actually just did the fit test and i'm DYING.  omg...this is going to be tough!

since my bro gave me copies of the dvd's...i dont have the actual instructions on how to do this.  do i do 1 dvd/day?  or do i do it every other day?  i tried looking on the website...but i didnt find instructions.

Carissa...how do you do it?

thank you SO much!

I'm doing insanity right now too! I'm just starting week 4 today. I heard the second month gets reallly hard!  The plan is 6 days a week, you have sunday off. The first month you switch between like 4 or 5 workouts, doing one dvd each day, some days you will add cardio abs. Good luck!  For better instructions check out youtube, type insanity and the day you are on and you will be able to find which dvd to do. Hope that helps!

gotcha!  thanks!
also...if you are sore (like i am today) are you supposed to continue the work outs? or are you supposed to take a day off before moving on?

TIA!
