Insanity Workout

[Charlie Bigtime]

Thinking about trying this out, someone mentioned it to me but I'm not sure I could handle something like that. Has anyone tried it? Apparently it's a big thing now for fitness fanatics.

My wife has been trying out his 'Hip-Hop Abs' to break herself in gently. I've been running 5km a night for the last 6 months or so...

We're both going to give 'Insanity' a shot in the next few weeks...

One of my mates did it...worked for him.

Probably be better for me to work myself up to it too, don't fancy a heart attack or injury before I'm able to get that far. Only exercise I get it walking up the shops a few times a week. If any of you guys have advice on how a terribly unfit man should start I'd sure like to hear it.

Do something you enjoy doing. Getting fit takes time and it takes a lot of effort. Hard to maintain that if you're not doing something you enjoy.

Like I said, I run 5km most nights. It's around 30 minutes out of an evening. It's really quite enjoyable. You only compete with yourself and your own times, you get to see some cracking sunsets and views if you drive to an area first and you can take it at your own pace. Stick a bit of music on (make a playlist that works for you first so you don't have to skip around) and then just relax into the run. Good times.

Finally got round to restarting my kettlebells last night, been about 18 months since I last did it. Feels great, 20 min workout and you're all done.

Kettlercise DVD + a couple of bells = no gym for me.

Iv been doing a self made routine at home for 2 months, only lasts 12 mins but is very intensive. noticed a difference in muscles already, but need more resistance or weight. only got 2 x 8 kg kettlebells though... And need to burn more weight off. lost about 12 lbs but then weight went back up. supposedly muscle weight added my mate said. Still gone down one belt notch though!

Try snooker mate, great exercise and you can have a couple of pints while you're working out.

The Kettlercise DVD I've got states 'Just for Women', and involves a lot of squats and presses, but it really helps muscle tone too, and I would imagine shreds the fat (I'm a skinny wretch so I wouldn't know!). Certainly not 'Just for Women'.

I only use an 8kg, and that's perfectly adequate for this routine.
