Or, on the flip side, what if I did the Insanity workout, without religiously sticking to the diet plan? I see the goofy ads for various machines that are supposed to work out your AB’S and reduce inches, etc., but I’m betting their success is largely due to sticking to a regimented diet. My question is: how much of the results of either program is tied to the diet plans that go with them? I know I need to get more ‘athletic’, and increase my cardio & stamina, but I wonder what kind of the other results I’d get if I just followed either (or any) diet plan – without changing my current workout pattern. I’ve been intrigued by P90X for awhile, but recently saw the ad for Insanity – and although it sounds tough, the results are what I’m after (get leaner, lose weight, drop BF, increase stamina, etc). I’ve read a few comments about the diet plan that goes with both Insanity & P90X, but it’s usually not mentioned at all in the ads on TV. I love cardio though, so hopefully Insanity will do the trick. I feel like the more I do to work out and add variety, the harder it gets to drop the few extra pounds to lean myself out. My husband, who doesn’t work out at all and doesn’t really eat all that great, noticed some pretty good changes.
I have always been pretty savvy about combining foods for complete proteins, so I am perplexed about the whole result. I have also been a vegetarian for 12 years, and trying to adapt the meal plan, especially for lunch at work, was a little tough. I was definitely feeling heavier than I’ve ever felt! This is why I think that I may not have been eating enough. I actually lost definition there and in my legs. So after P90, my arms, back, and shoulders were bigger and more defined, which is fine, but my abs (an area where I really didn’t have any problems!) got softer. Despite what so many things say about women having a hard time gaining muscle, I will bulk up pretty quickly…even if I don’t want to. We measured again at the end of 90 days, and it was still up 2%. Yes, it was measured before P90 and after the first month when I gained the weight so quickly. That and I’ve started taking whey protein every day 😉 I’m confident that if I can make it through week 6 – 9 that I’ll start seeing big results in my abs and general fitness, because these workouts challenge the heck out of you. I’m currently 6’1 175lbs~ now where as I was hovering around 165 before hand. I don’t have as much of a gut anymore and I’ve actually put on a bit of weight. I ended skipping another day this week too, but I think I’m back on the plan now with no more skipping.Īs far as results up to now go, nothing too dramatic. I was too exhausted after going all out on the fit test that I didn’t feel like doing the MIC that same day. The first day back from the recovery week where you do the Fit Test and then Max Interval Circuit are what screwed me up a little bit. I definitely feel more in shape now and can probably finish the early exercises without stopping, but these “max” workouts are killer. These 1 hour long exercises are hard to get motivated to do more so than the earlier ones. I’ve been sticking to the program religiously (6 days on, 1 day off, never missing) until I hit this 6th week. Another thing to note is that I had a bit of a gut. I started out the program not being super fit, but actually underweight for my height. I started Insanity a little over a month ago (August 20th to be exact). Hopefully all the P90X I have been doing over the past year will help me power through it. The Insanity workout is looking like it is going to be a very challenging workout for the next 60 days. After taking a look at my results I have decided that I want to increase each number by 20%. I had to stop a couple times with each workout. I was dripping sweat after doing the warm ups. This was a lot tougher than what I expected. My First Insanity Workout Fit Test Results You can probably hear it along with how squeaky my wood floors are. I was jumping so hard at one time that a pan fell in the kitchen. Here is the video I took of myself doing the Insanity Workout Fit Test along with my results below. Seems simple enough. How the Fit Test works is you do 8 different exercises for a minute each doing as many reps as you can. With it being a intense cardio workout you track your progress by taking the fit test 5 times during the 60 days. It’s different than P90X as you are not using weights or a pull up bar with Insanity. After reading through the Insanity workout program and the calendar I noticed how you keep track of your results. I did not take the P90X Fit Test when I bought it and instead went right into the workouts. This was my first time taking a fit test with a Beachbody program. I started Insanity the other day and the first step was to take the Insanity Workout Fit Test.
