Month #2 Insanity Program

One Exercise Is The Log Jump

Now I can see that this program is for the insane oriented.  Month #2 is very different than month #1.  Everything appears to have become more challenging, (doubled workout time), more twisted (new body challenges), and more intense.  But being the twisted-insane human being that I am–I love it.  Personally, I am approaching the program as an endurance training and not going for the killer intensity.  When the demonstrators are falling on the floor like flies after giving it their all, I am still going with a slower, steadiness.   The new moves and challenges are very cool–my first reaction was “Really!”

The mistake I made was bumping up the Insanity Program and the Hip Hop Abs program on the same day.  Needless to say, going to the gym for a second workout was taken off the list.  I am finding that doing the Hip Hop Abs Program after the Insanity Program is a good stretching/cool down that helps stretching in motion instead of the more typical tightening up after a tough workout.

The core improvement and greater coordination/balance/rhythm from the two is definitely showing up in my work at the gym.  The work with cables and balance balls is less forgiving, so I am getting good feedback from the work at home.

    i just ordered insanity a couple of days ago i’m 22 worked out in high school because of sports teams it was required but kind of lost focus as i went into college. Last January i made a new years resolution to get more concerned with the shape and health of my body and i am proud to say i stuck with it(as i usually don’t stick with new years resolutions shhhh) at the time i made that decision i was 274 lbs some 50ish lbs out of my playing shape from high school(I’m 6’4) today as i write this i weigh 235 lbs about 15 lbs short of my goal. I’m hoping Insanity can get me there. I’ll be the first to tell you i was extremely skeptical about trying this program out and even a little scared by advertisements i saw for it. I just wanted to say thank you for writing your blog it has given me some insight into the program.
