Done it exactly as it was shown, I'm not an idiot I've done plenty of workouts/gym stuff other than that. I warmed up as per the warmup in the routines, we were keeping to the full scheduled calendar of workouts. I was doing it because the mrs wanted too, in all honesty I didn't like it right from the word go, it involved a lot of stress on your calfs with lots of jumping and bouncing. The stretching is all of what? 3 minutes at the start? Not enough. In my opinion, you should do a 10 minute stretch and warm up routine before even pressing play on each video, their idea of a warmup is ridiculous and is asking to hurt yourself. My calf tore pretty badly, I do push hard when working out and that is indeed what's encouraged by the trainer.
And the whole "check your heart rate" bollocks he does is irritating, you can tell some lawyer has told them he has to say that periodically. It is not set up to be able to take breaks properly, because it is so intense, taking a break means you miss a large amount of training quickly meaning your workout is massively unbalanced.
It's been shown by professionals that his form and definitely that of the people in the video is not good enough to be a safe example to follow. When he says "check your form", again, another lawyer induced phrase from him.
Did I lose weight? Yes in the short term, no in the long term because i could do naff all for 3 weeks resting my leg, limping in pain.
From what I've read, insanity is an ok workout for people who are already quite fit, it is simply not for people who are trying to lose weight and get in shape from being a chubby git.
Ugh, I'm ranting. Honesty, you'd be 100% better off just going for a run, then you don't have some stupid woman called tanya (or whatever her name was) making overacted faces like she's even finding it difficult. I hate that woman!
Well I wouldnt kick Tanya out of bed and at the end of the day that's all that really matters
