Insanity

Matt

Picked up a copied set of these DVDs today, and I'll be starting it properly on Monday.

I know a few people who have done it, and have had really good results from it. I want to tone up and loose some of the loose skin I have since loosing all the weight.

I'll do a before and after set of pictures to show the results 😉

think thats something i want to get on
im not running fit like you but am very strong in the upper body more of a working fit
its the rest that needs toning and could do with dropping 2-3 stone im almost 16 stone
main thing is to try and get my back strong again

Looks good. Keep us posted. I'm wanting to tone up for summer.

My mate has done that, and had ok results he didnt tone up that much but did loose weight which was his main aim.

Matt

Completed day 2 this afternoon. I've never sweat so much in my life! It's going to be difficult doing this while keeping up the running, so I think the running might have to be reduced a bit while I'm doing this.

Matt

Completed day 5, and have been able to still go running as well this week.

Having a week off next week, as I'm on holiday 🙁

i need to loose a bit from round my waist as i seem to be piling it on just lately ,must admit i do like my sausages and bacon most mornings .finding myself geetting out of breath easily so dont think i could cope with that dvd .think my job keeps my fit to a certain degree

evocarlos

Yes, it's already started to make a difference.

This is what I looked like a few years ago (and yes, I was breathing in!):

and this is my before picture for Insanity

I've already started to get more definition around the 6 pack, as you do a lot of work on core exercises.

You tag people by starting with an @ symbol and start typing their name. It will open a pop up with the username suggestion @[deleted]

bulk up then turn it to muscle

Yep. It will change slightly when the new XF is installed. They will show with an @ symbol in front of the username, as it's an add-on in the current version, but XF 1.2 has it built into the core (also a new editor!)
