I kept lifting 4 times a week while doing Insanity 6 days a week (workout over lunch break and do video after work). I managed to lose around 7-8 pounds all said and done. I seemed to need to eat way more than I mormally do though during that time. I made it through 6 weeks or so on the insanity and was super burnt out by the time I quit. Also pulled something in my chest towards the end that kinda forced me to quit. (but I also absolutely hated the second month workouts anyways)I don't think you would lose to much muscle if you stopped lifting and started this for a couple months. I know I gained muscle in my legs because I ignore them more at the gym than I should. If I was going to do it again (which I might) I would keep lifting and do insanity 3-4 times a week instead of the 6 times a week it calls for....Question for you guys that have completed Insanity.For the last six months, I've been lifting weights three to four times per week. I've added about eight pounds of muscle during that time.I'm looking to use Insanity as my "cutting" phase to trim fat while maintaining the muscle I've developed.1.) Will I lose strength/muscle if I cut out the lifting and only do the Insanity workouts?2.) Is it possible to lift weights twice per week while doing Insanity? Or will that kill me?

Not a good workout to start up after being out of the gym for a long time. I've worked out consistently for years and this workout is on a different level.after being out of the gym for WAY too long and having no desire or motivation to go back right now, I decided to give this a try. I'm not starting until Memorial Day (going to be out of town half of next week), but I decided to do the fit test and take a look at a few of the discs.
F that doo-doo. I thought I was going to fall out during the warm-up, and was positive I was going to die during the fit test. just watching the plyometric cardio disc scared me.
I've been counting 1 leg = 1 rep. Watched that exercise again and there is no way they are getting their numbers with both legs = 1 rep.swift kicks are both legs = 1 rep, correct?
It's pretty intense stuff.F that doo-doo. I thought I was going to fall out during the warm-up, and was positive I was going to die during the fit test. just watching the plyometric cardio disc scared me.
I've been doing it this week a little to try to get prepared for it. It sucks, but I usually build up endurance quickly. If the first two real weeks don't kill me I think I'll be okay.Tried some of the daytime meals (1-3) also. They've actually been alright. Need to get some stuff from the grocery store to make some of the night (4-5) mealsIt's pretty intense stuff.F that doo-doo. I thought I was going to fall out during the warm-up, and was positive I was going to die during the fit test. just watching the plyometric cardio disc scared me.
The f'n yoga is actually what I dread most.
I usually do something like skim milk plus half a scoop of protein powder (choc.) for recovery. I just get the walmart or target whey brand as it mixes well with water or milk and tastes good enough for me and has a similar protein profile as other stuff at GNC.What does everyone recommend for a recovery drink? I want to get a protein powder, but what is the best?
even when I worked out daily my cardio wasn't great (more of a strength/power guy). I have gone through a couple of discs just to get a little break-in time (will start the routine on Monday), and while they do suck, you can always take a time-out if needed. I just take a breather, or if really winded, hit pause to catch my breath.Read the first few pages of this thread and then the last one. I am not "sloppy" out of shape, but could lose 10-15 pounds. However, my cardio is very bad.You guys are scaring me, but I am going to give it a try.
I just started week 4 - I can finally make it through the Level 1's for all the cycles, and the in-outs at the end, but the ski jumps kill me every time still. I can't make it through the Level 2's in the cardio one yet, and I heard there are Level 3's (WTF?) in the Max series coming up.Just finished the "Plyometric Cardio Circuit" for the second time. I think this is the hardest workout of the first month.Can any of you actually get all the way through the up-down, push ups, plank running, ski jump, in-out part? My god. "IN!! OUT!! IN!! OUT!!"

Month 2 will improve you.Fit test 2 yesterday:Fit Test #1 #2:Switch kicks: 139 135Power jacks: 51 59Power knees: 75 93Power jumps: 54 68Globe jumps: 9 rotations, 12Suicide jumps: 23 24Push-up jacks: 29 29Low plank oblique: 78 89I feel I'm going to plateau on most of these pretty soon, pretty hard to go much faster, but we'll see.
I just got a pullup bar over the weekend, after messing with some sets on Saturday I could barely lift my arms yesterday. Plan to start doing the primal workout plan [2 sets of: Pushups to exhaustion (at least 50 per set), Pullups (12, using chair/leg assistance), body weight squats to exhaustion (at least 50, more like hindu squats), shoulder press (on chair, or handstand presses) and plank (regular and side, 90 seconds each)] Takes maybe 20 minutes to do, all body weight stuff, solid.Going to do this for 3rd time through starting tomorrow. I had to stop the 2nd round on day 45 due to a pulled hamstring, broken toe, and back spasm all unrelated to Insanity. Broke the toe at work, back spasm was from football, and the hamstring was just there after a drunk night. Now everything is 98% and even though I know exactly what I'm getting myself into, I'm still .I do the workouts, but wish I had a partner to do them with. To many chubby friends that only want to lift. I'll also be adding in the Ab Ripper X and various pullup sets 3 times a week.
You're like 250 and 5% body fat. What's the point?started my 2nd week today. My knees are taking a beating. I hope they can hold up for 8 more weeks.

I don't care what anyone says, working out in your boxers and tennis shoes is the way to go. Crank up the fan on full blast, and I'm killing it.
Boxers? wtf? How do you handle all the "jingling" around.I don't care what anyone says, working out in your boxers and tennis shoes is the way to go. Crank up the fan on full blast, and I'm killing it.
