I’m excited to finally share my Insanity results with you! I completed Insanity for the first time earlier this year, and now I’m doing the workouts sporadically throughout my triathlon and marathon training to stay strong. I did the 60 day Insanity program after completing P90X (for a second time) and after finishing my first full marathon. I also did Insanity while training for a half marathon…so I had to modify the plan a bit. (You’re supposed to workout 6 days/week, and I did Insanity 3-4 days/week, and you’re supposed to take the fit test on days 1, 15, 36, 50 and 63, but I only did it 3x.) Keeping all that in mind, here are highlights of my results!!

- August 2011: After Insanity & After Finishing the AFC Half Marathon!
Other Insanity results highlights:
– Personal Record on the same half marathon 1 year later! I went from 2:14 to 1:51!
– Very toned abs – Close to a six-pack!
– I lost 3 pounds!
Overall, I think I prefer Insanity over P90X. Don’t get me wrong. They are both AMAZING at home fitness programs that both gave me great results, but I think the cardio girl in me can relate more to Shaun T’s workouts than to Tony Horton’s. Plus, it’s so easy to pop in the DVD and workout for only 35-60 minutes with no equipment. There’s hardly an excuse not to do it. I still love the unmatched strength training from P90X, so I will probably mix both programs in my next round of marathon and triathlon training!
Is Insanity right for you too? I highly recommend it! Feel free to contact me with any questions or to share your results with me too.
