You should join one of my challenge groups. The accountability and support are what helps people get through it. I understand where you’re coming from. You should join one of my challenge groups.

Even the people who are in the DVD have to take breaks. You can do Insanity but you have to be patient. Go slow and focus on form. The speed will come. I've seen people like your husband who have some weight to lose and drop a lot of weight with Insanity. It might take longer than the 60 days but so what. What's important is you are doing it.

My husband is overweight 6 feet, maybe 230-245 lbs, but can do 50 mile + bike rides with no problem. I on the other hand am 5'1" maybe 110 lbs. I'm little but not in shape. I want my husband to get rid of the "man boobs" and me to get my 6-pack abs back with killer legs. I want something that is exciting and will challenge me. I don't want to do P90X because of the long workouts, but I feel like everything I read is pushing me towards P90X and even then maybe not towards either. I want to get my assed kicked. I won't do P90X, so my question is should I do Insanity? Can I do Insanity? Can my husband? Can you even answer this question for me?

I got both your messages and I totally agree with you. I do know it's too much for me at the weight I am now. I had so much success with a boot-camp class a little while ago that I thought I could get even better and faster results with Insanity. I just hate that I ordered it and spent all that money and will not be using it. I went to a program that focused more on getting body fat off than weight and for the first time of "dieting", I felt better and looked better and even looked smaller than what I was because I lost inches and fat vs when I would do all these programs, I would loose weight but you couldn't tell unless I lost a whole lot and I would be tired and hungry all the time. I alos didn't want to deal with that I had to work out at taht time so I was willing to do whatever to get rid of the fat without working out. Now, I shop at Whole Foods and the whoel family does it so I'm no longer cooking regular unhealthy food for them and trying to eat right myself. I would like to loose fat and atleast 30-40 pounds by June. I normally loose 5 pounds a week when I start working out at the boot-camp place and eating correctly. But thanks, I have a lot to take in and to decide what's going to be the best way to get started and with what. I so appreciate your support and response because I have realized that I will need support and I am not going to be able to do this on my own. That's why I always fall right back into my old ways. NO accountability and no support and no encouragement. Thanks Brad. Thanks Brad. I got both your messages and I totally agree with you. I do know it’s too much for me at the weight I am now.

You have to ask yourself how long it took you to put on the weight first and then recognize its going to take time to get it off. I think you should do the <a href="http://workoutjourney.com/beachbody-ultimate-reset/" title="Ultimate Reset" rel="nofollow">Ultimate Reset</a> first and then P90X. This will help you get the weight off and you'll feel better about attacking Insanity when its done. Nikia

In your case I think P90X will help you get bigger. Based on your schedule, P90X might be something you do instead of lifting and on the days you have off.
