Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Just download the app on your phone and enter everything you eat it makes things alot easyer.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Just finished week 2. Haven't lost a pound yet, but don't care too much about weight as I'm pretty light. I do want to shed inches in the gut and improve my fitness though.

Looking forward to my fit test on Saturday to see if I have improvements. Still struggle once we really get going in most of the workouts.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

great job!

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

I didnt eat great last night, but I didnt eat terrible. I have 4 graduation parties to goto this weekend...gonna be tough.

Today was the first day of 'double workouts' in insanity. Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs... wow. And then I went on a 5 mile walk with my wife. Trying to do some more activity besides the insanity workouts.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

I did that workout this morning, too!--it's my second recovery week in the P90X/Insanity hybrid.

Couple favorite ShaunT-isms in that workout: "Is anybody as nervous--as me--at what's about to come up?!" and "Shakita, are you feeling inSANE yet?! What? You wanna LEAVE?!!! Go sit down!" that one always cracks me up.:r

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

How does the hybrid work? Is that something you made up or can you get a workout cal online?

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

There are alot of diffrent ways to do it but this is the one I am going to do next round :tu

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

That looks similar to the one I'm doing. I alternate cardio abs & ARX, and mine drops Legs & Back in weeks 9-12 subs in another Max Insanity workout instead. I noticed that this one drops yoga completely, I'm not sure why--that's still part of my hybrid 1x/week, although most weeks I only do the first 45 min and skip the balance postures & stretches (mostly to save time.) I can email the spreadsheet if you're interested.

After having done a few rounds of both P90x and Insanity separately over the past couple years, I like the results I'm getting from the hybrid the best.:wnr

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Just finnished my first round of P90X saturday and now I cant wait to add some Insanity into my workouts!!!

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Outstanding! :ze :tu

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

That is freakin' fantastic!!!

And, WTG Kirk, keep up the good work and keep pushing play!

I've done two rounds of P90X now, and am very pleased with the results. I've lost about 60 lbs total. I didn't eat quite as well during my second round, but still lost some weight, but certainly not like the first time. Of course, I had a lot more to lose the first go around. ;)

Keep us posted on how things are going Kirk. :tu

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Absolutely outstanding, my brother.
I suppose chocolate cake and Blue Band O's in the shop are out forever. :r
I'm only a few steps behind you, chunk. Watch your back. :tu

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Tough weekend, had four graduation parties and then a memorial day party. Hopefully I dont break the scale tomorrow!

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Bout to rock out some Max Cardio Circuit......

Woohooo 900 Calorie Burns.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

189 today, not bad considering my weekend and memorial day. I didnt think I would lose weight at all this week.

5/03 205
5/11 196.2
5/18 193
5/25 190.8
6/1 189

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Looks like good steady progress, Kirk, congrats! If I'm not mistaken, you should be about to hit the max workout circuits so you'll see the pounds drop :ze Keep it up!

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Keep up the great work Kirk!!!

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

My calendar says one more week of normal, then a recovery week, then the max stuff....I am scared of the max stuff.. :r

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Ha ha ha. Yeah...it is gonna shock you. Stick with it though.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

No kidding. Tomorrow I finish week 3 and I still can't come close to completing the workouts. I do notice I'm recovering quicker and my cardio is better, but I suck at some things like moving pushups. I can't imagine how hard the max must be.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

I have been doing the program for about 9 months and cannot get through the workouts at 100%. They are designed like that. The moves in the 2nd phase are not really that much more difficult. You just have to do more of them for longer.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Well, that's my problem, I can barely do them now. ;)

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

P90X Chest & Back yesterday
Max Interval Plyo in about 15 mins.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Bring it Chip!!! :tu

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

So Kirk how's the Insanity thing working out for you? Two bad knees and a back that
all need surgery have me calorie counting with my DROID app but its working! All I need now is
a prescription from our family doctor for a box of Cohiba's a month and I'll be
in great shape in no time!

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

It's already been broughtent. Insanity Upper Body Weights today.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Awsome I cant wait to try that workout! :tu

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

It really is a great supplement to the P90X weights. Right now, my program is something like...

MO: Insanity Max Plyo Circuit
TU: P90X Chest & Back
WE: off/bike/6mile run...whatever I feel like
TH: Insanity Upper Body Weights
FR: Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning
SA: P90X Chest & Back
SU: Insanity Max Interval Circuit

On a lot of days I'll throw in either swimming or a run. Right now I am sorta training for a sprint Tri, so I am trying to get swimming in 3X a week. Usually Wed, Sat, Sun.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

very nice dude, make sure you are taking progress photos, i regret not doing it along my journey...

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Have any of you invested in dumbells like the Bowflex SelectTech 552's? If so, any thoughts on them and are they better for doing the workouts?

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

I am. Although, I did not have a lot to lose to start with. I was 5'7" and about 185. I have dropped to 175 since last august, but put on a good bit of muscle. I wish I had done some measurements. The pics really do not do justice. I want to drop another 5-10 lb and keep the muscle. I am looking for very lean.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Tuesday: Back & Biceps, Cardio Abs
Today: Max Interval Plyo, burned about 700 calories in 55 minutes and must have lost 4 pounds of water weight from the sweat!

:ze

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

How are things going Kirk???

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Max Interval Plyo today. Probably some swimming tonight.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Max Cardio Conditioning today...

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Max interval yesterday. Max Plyo this morning. Oh yeah.....

DIG DEEPER!

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Started week 12 of my hybrid, Back & Biceps/CardioAbs this morning. Tomorrow will be my last Max Plyo of this routine :ze

So, I thought I'd fess up and let you guys know that after more than 2 years of "assistance free" Beachbody, I finally caved and sought pharmaceutical help ;) Got tired of fighting and fighting to drop the last 7-10 pounds or so that have taken up residence around my 48 year old midsection. Started a regimen of OxyelitePro 2 weeks ago. Never tried a thermogenic before. As Shaun T says, "This sh*t is bananas." Only doing 1 pill/day (label says max = 3) but have dropped 2 pounds each week, and I can see a difference in my waist already. It's really the only place on my body that stores fat, caliper test everywhere else usually reads <4-5 mm, and my total bodyfat is around 10-12%. Appetite is suppressed, I'm not eating as much but don't feel a loss of energy. Sweat like a bastard during my workouts though. Only other changes have been to up my water intake, and dropped all other caffeine products including my pre-workout shake. Revs your HR, and it does change your bathroom habits a bit... My plan is to stick with this for 6 weeks or so (just in time for the beach :noon) and see how much more effective it can be. Probably not for everyone, but so far it's working for me.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

We have the same problem. I cannot drop the love handles. I am only 33, so I am not resorting to Rx yet. Just turning up the volume a bit. Quit drinking so much too.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Just finnished Plyo and I am soaked!!! I still have the lower ab pouch that needs to come off also I am not using thermogenics but I do use pre workouts
and have had great rusults with them I am abel to bring it alot harder :tu

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

What are you taking for preworkout?

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

For me: I took N.O. Xplode for a long time, until I found Body Rush by Force Factor. That is great stuff. :ze My stepson has been using Assault by MusclePharm for a few months, he really likes it.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

I took NO Xplode once and felt like I was gong to die. I got very light headed.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

I rotate a few diffrent ones so I dont build up a tolarance to any one of them but my favortes are 1MR,Nano Vapor and Hemo Rage :tu

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Just did Pure Cardio for the first time and I am totaly drenched recovery drink never tasted so good!

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Yoga X. So freaking long... I don't mind the routine itself, and can get through every pose & position except Crane. But, damn--90 minutes is a long time.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Max Interval Circuit. Oh yeah!!! Great workout today. Time for protein shake!!!!!!

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Legs/Back and ARX for me today :tu

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Plyo Cardio Circuit for me this morning!

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Dig deep! I love the plyo workout.

Sort of a cross train day for me. Working on my triathlon skills and doing a mini tri. 300M / 8M / 3M
