I started my second round of the  insanity workout today.  it felt good the last time I jumped right into it but this time I've worked my way up by running everyday for the last 2 weeks. Last time I didn't see it through I was either doing weight training and trying to do insanity which did not work at all. I did about 32 days last time.. I'm  6'5 250  lbs my goal is to get down around 235 I think it shouldn't be to hard I've been eating very healthy so hoping to get good results. So this time I  locked up my bench and all my free weights..  A full 60 days  bring it on!!!

I did it from August 2012-December 2012 well I was deployed and had tons of free time. I never got super cut or anything but I turned into non stop machine that just went for hours. I never stopped lifting when I did it I lifted 6 days a week plus insanity and ran a 5k every week and 2 miles every other day also did the army 10 miler during that time also. I started at 210 dropped to 187 just lifting and running, started insanity and hit 178 which was the lowest I ever got I'm 5'8". I need to start it up again but no room for it and all that jumping my apt would fall apart lol. I've been doing some crossfit about 4 days a week when at the armory I enjoy that a little more but the closest gym for it is a hour away and same with insanity just don't have room or resources to do it at home. 

 

after you get good with insanity try the insanity: asylum I've got a copy of it on my external hard drive I get exhausted just scanning threw it to see what it consists of doing. It makes insanity and P90x look like a nice stroll in the park on a segway lol.

omg i just type of like 3 paragraphs and it got deleted...........I'm not typing it again but it consisted of that's a good program i did something similar to that for 17 days now.. i think i will breeze through insanity this time around ... I just get bored of it... MY buddy has asylum and says i cant work out with him until  i  finish  a full 60 days of insanity. p90x  is a good workout i like doing that the best.  if you use bigger dumbbells i moved up to 40's and work all the way down to failure , Sometimes  i cant finish the work out. IM a big fan of super sets especially chest to back...

Cross fit is "fun" I guess lol. The circuit days I could care less about haha. When we do it its one of the platoon Sgts comes in and sets up the work out for the day usually what ever he did the night before at his gym hes a member at. Usually consists of some thing like

5 Tire flips

10 pull ups

15 sit ups

15 push ups

45# plates farmers carry 100m

15 air squats

Do that for 15 rotations or 45 minutes

Or circuit days

Box jumps or put a bar with 25# plates and jump over it

Row

Push ups

15lb dumbbells and calf raises

10-15# sledge hammer and tire

Go full throttle 30sec then you get 10 to rotate when you get back to your starting position you get a 60 second water break. You do that 3 times around.
