swim 30-40 minutes before work every morning (enough to be a good workout, but not so much that I'm trashed for the rest of the day). 3-4 times a week, do an insanity workout session after work. I find following a workout along to a video strange (it's the first time I've done it) but the structure imposed by the video means you are guaranteed to work your ass off. The program basically consists of a lot of conditioning drills I used to do in high school football practice, and seems to mostly target gluts, quads, and core. If this seems like enough, I'll leave it at that, but if possible I'd like to squeeze in a 45-60 minute weight lifting session on saturdays and sundays (chest/tricep/shoulder on sat, legs/back/bicep on sun). Most of the reason I'm doing this is to keep myself on a strict schedule so that I have motivation to get out of bed in the morning, get myself to be tired at night, and reap the benefits that a consistent workout schedule has on mood and mind. Of course, I think if I can keep this up for 6 months, and additionally eat healthy, I'll see some results. Maybe get some abs for once in my life. Also, going to stop taking weight gainer/protein powder. I think with this workout regime I'll see best results if I cut unnecessary calories. Basically I'm hoping to lose 15-20 pounds of fat and gain 2-3 pounds of muscle over the next 6 months (I'm definitely not fat now so that should put me in spectacular shape). Currently: 185 lbs (I'm 6'1) | ||

Currently: 185 lbs (I'm 6'1) You're probably about where i was ~2 years ago, i was 6'1 ~190-195. In 3 months i put on 20 pounds by eating 5000+ calories a day and lifting 3x a week (focus on deadlift, squat, bench). After that i lost ~ 10 pounds of fat and ended up in the best shape/most ripped (probably until now) ive ever been in my life by doing the same thing, adding a bit more cardio (in the form of rugby and interval running) and eating ~3-3500 calories a day. During that time i also put on 60 pounds on my deadlift and 40 on my squat. | ||

Currently: 185 lbs (I'm 6'1) I've lifted weights on and off for 8 years and just want to try something a little different. When a couple friends said they were going to do insanity I dismissed it like you just did, but I downloaded it from a very cheap website to see what it consists of, and found it was composed of pretty reasonable drills. It's basically a leg/core workout routine that's guaranteed to get you completely tired out, so that can't be bad. The motivational junk the instructor says makes me cringe at times but whatever. Besides, trying different things keeps things interesting. Taking time off from lifting, coming back and then catching up to what I used to be able to do until I get too busy gets boring after awhile. | ||

You should use a more effective program to work towards your goals. | ||

I don't have any specific goals for the time being besides consistently working out, and some friends are doing this so whatever. It's only going to make up about 1/3 of my plan. That said, what similar program would you recommend? Also, I play sand volleyball often, and the emphasis on jumping/burst exercises should help out my vertical jump. | ||

Research the most effective way to reach it and do it. What you're doing is probably not it. Wanna get ripped? Do a decent diet. Wanna get big? Eat a lot, lift heavy shit. Wanna have fun? Do your favorite sport. | ||

I'll probably do insanity over my winter break, because it would be a great way to get my family started on exercising. I'll do it in addition to weight training, and maybe the occasional basketball game for about a month, then when I get back to school I can focus on lifting and rugby again. I've already got the videos downloaded because my sister asked me to get them for her last winter... but she never ended up using them. I think seeing me performing the exercises every day would be a better boost for her to get involved. On October 04 2011 04:14 glurio wrote: I don't understand it, you have a goal don't you?

Do your favorite sport. His goals are to lose a bit of weight, and more importantly to stick to a specific program and to have fun working out with his friends. Insanity will definitely do those things. Sure, it's not the best way to do any single one of the three, but it's a pretty decent way to do all of them at the same time. | ||
