PSA those looking to workout

I recently bought the Insanity workout DVDs and they're really pretty good.  I've found most DVDs are not too challenging, but these give a great workout, they're quick (40 min) and you don't need much space or equipment.  I bought the jump mat so I could do it on my concrete basement floor early before anyone wakes up, which is why I need to do it in the basement, or during nap time when I'm home.

ok I MIGHT look into it... I also need to do any workouts in the basement but we have cork floors down there.

I heard these workouts were of a more advanced nature?  Hence why it's called insanity?  Can you compare it to 30DS?

I'm wondering this too. I've heard it makes P90X looks easy.

My DH also bought insanity and it is in fact insane.  I tried doing the 30min fitness test that you start out with, and I thought it was too intense.  And for me 40mins is a really long workout.  This is not a program for someone who's not already in semi-decent shape.

I did Insanity after I had DD and loved it, but I definitely recommed working yourself up to it.  I did 30 Day Shred first and then Insanity.  I still couldn't get all the way through Insanity for a few weeks, but eventually I was able to.  After baby #2 I plan on busting out those DVDs and doing them all over again.  They work wonders!!  Also be sure to count your calories as well...

I was watching that infomercial just yesterday.  I think I need to do the 30DS before Insanity but I do like Shuan T.  I have Hip Hop Abs and used to do that pre D2.

I do the Insanity workouts too!  I'm on week 3, day 5 right now.  I love the max heartrate workouts.  Yeah, i'm a freak  

Leading up to my wedding, I participated in the YMCA's bootcamp which the teacher based the 3 days a week class off Insanity/P90X/plyometric workouts.  I seriously got into the BEST shape of my life...like high school shape!

I've definitely watched some inches shed off my thighs/butt/hip/waist area which is where I needed to lose it.

I would recommend it to anyone but it is definitely intense!
