Anyone here ever tried this workout?

Results?

Why exercise when you can fahst

Yes and it's frikin difficult.

I'll be honest and say I'm not a fan of interval training. I prefer actually doing a sport or an activity to get fit.

I didn't complete it, though, and it's hard to argue with the results it apparently gives.

Thanks for the feedback. My gf just bought it. She's a rower but has been rowing for years and the muscles needed have already built up. Problem is, her style of rowing is more endurance than intensity. She can literally row for hours without stopping. But she can't run for more than 5 minutes and with her knees (she's tall) running long distances is challenging. So she wants to try something that will get her sweating, that isn't running. She has to get in shape because she wants to join the navy.

I'm considering starting it with her.

I've often said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting ripped results.

You can always try the T25 program, which is like the Insanity program but shorter (~25 minutes per workout versus 40-60... I think). Same idea though, short bursts of high-intensity cardio or body-weight training with shorter bursts of low-intensity work (the reverse of typical interval training).

Results: your body hurts and you want to die.
I always prefer healthier eating and just plain running, but if you need to lose weight quick it works. It just sucks really bad. Lol

Yeah she needs to lose some uni weight. She's fit, but not to the standards of the Royal Navy guidelines. She rowed across the Irish Sea a few months ago. But like I said, it's a different type of workout and she could row in her sleep, she's so good at it.

She is strong but has to lose fat quickly.

As for hurting she's already icing her back! Think a muscle was pulled. :/

I just do the regular running/jogging and then some push-ups and all those exercise activities. Not too much or too few, just the normal routine.

Well if she can push through it, then she will get the results she wants. It does work...but it's also evil. Lol :hugs:
