After 60+ days of running, sweating and crawling on the floor riddling in pain, I finally finished my insane journey. I think everything went incredibly well. All the fat that was remaining in my gut pretty much vanished. Even my chest was starting to shape up nicely.
The stats from my journey are as follows:
Height: 5'10"
Starting weight: 158 lbs
Finish weight: 146 lbs
Weight difference: -12 lbs
Waist: 29.75 inches
Body fat % = 8.43%
Fit test exercises (I lost the numbers from the first fit test I performed in a washer):
In conclusion, Insanity is a great workout for shredding fat and toning up muscles. I think it would be difficult to gain muscle weight with the workout though. It's practically all cardio, and intense cardio at that. My guess is that eventually you would start burning muscle near the end of a workout. Light cardio with weight training would be a much better option for gaining muscle, in my opinion. Therefore, I probably won't attempt Insanity again as I would like to start gaining muscle for awhile. I'm happy with all the fat that I lost, and I averaged losing a little over a pound a week.
After pounding my body for 60 days, I decided it would be a good idea to take at least a two week rest period. I was ready to take it.
