    Insanity, anyone? Help!

    Just had to get my YES vote in ! I agree with everything posted above. Except I think you need the deluxe package because I love the upper body weight workout. I did the rotation as suggested and since then I've been using the workouts a couple times a week. They have not gotten boring to...

    Cardio machine recommendation

    My suggestion is that he join a gym and figure out what cardio machine he likes. Personally (I think I'm the only person in the world), I don't like the elliptical. I prefer the old time stairmaster. But even better is the Step Mill which is the actual steps that rotate around as you climb on...

    Don't misuse PlateMates !

    Yep. This has happened to me. I've stopped using platemates anytime the dumbbell is going over my head or face, even on all metal dumbbells. It hurt too much when one fell on my nose (no injury though). Lauren

    Go Wear Fit!

    How does the GWF calculate calorie burn? Does it use your HR? My GPS uses speed and distance to calculate calories burned but my HR moniter uses HR to calculate calories burned. I would think that the only thing the GWF can use is HR. Maybe the difference in calories burned is because you...

    Ipod Touch at the Gym

    Do you look at the video much or mostly just listen to the cues? Does the headphone cord get in the way?

    Should I Spend my B-day Money on Insanity?

    In my opinion, Insanity is better than any workout I have ever done (includes Cardio Coach, Cathe, Jari, Tony Horton and any gym group exercise class). I'm very skeptical that Cathe can top it, but if she does, I'll be a very happy consumer. I think you are missing out if you don't try...

    So, is filming done?

    OMG! I have never seen this before, but if ever there was a place to use it, it's filming posts on the Cathe and VF websites (no offense intended to a specific poster, just the topic in general)

    Insanity vs Shock Cardio?

    I think there will be similarities (the items you mentioned) but I don't think it would be close enough that you won't benefit from owning both. STS sounds like it will have more variety to it. I think the STS workouts that will be most like Insanity are the HIIT workouts. But Cathe's are...

    Valerie Waters AHB dvd set

    I think overall these have gotten positive reviews. Sure there are some negative comments but it seems like overall people are keeping them (at least on VF). Personally, I should have known better than to jump on the bandwagon. I'm fairly picky about my workouts. I like what I like and...

    ipod question

    Vee - excellent posts. I've never seen the wrist thing for the Nano. I really like that. I have the long rectangle version of the nano. I have mine in the holder that has a hook on the back to put it on the waist of your pants or the back of the job bra. I wonder if I could wear a...

    Insanity will be over in 2 more days...so sad!

    Oh yes. I miss it terribly. I've been done for about a month. I think I'm going to try the P90X/Insanity rotation that Regina mentioned. Shaun T needs to put out more DVD's like this.

    Action Hero Babe - My review.

    Hi Regina, I think I'm going to start mixing P90X with Insanity. I'm also going to try one of the Pit workouts and some Kettlebells. If you find anything new that you like, please PM me.

    Action Hero Babe - My review.

    For anyone considering buying the Action Hero Babe set, here's the review I posted on VF . . . Well, I'm going to have to say that this set is not for me. I'm glad there are a few positive remarks before I make mine. I really like to be challenged, it's part of what motivates me. This...

    Love, Le Reve or Blue Man

    Hey, My husband and I are going to Vegas Wed-Sunday this week and we are buying show tickets. We got tix to Howie Mandel and Ray Romano. We want to go to one more show. Should we do Love (Beatles Cirque), Le Reve (Wynn version of Cirque) or Blue Man ??? We are staying at the Wynn...

    Asthma and Insanity

    I've done Insanity and the Imax workouts but I don't have asthma so I can't really comment on how it would be for you. I personally am much, much more winded with Insanity. Maybe you could do a temp trade for a couple of the workouts and try them? Sorry I can't be more help. Maybe no one...

    So what do you think of Roman Pulanski?

    Okay, wait a sec. I saw the Whoopie thing. Whoopie explained the next day that she meant that she wanted the facts straight. Some of the women on the panel were saying that he was charged with rape. Whoopie wanted to get it straight (to cover the View's as$). He was charged with 6 things...

    Insanity...need advice!!!

    Relax girl. Just take off the days your body needs and start up where you left off. It's not a big deal. Give yourself the break it needs, you will heal faster and your workouts once healthy will be much better. If you start back and feel good and come up to a "rest day" you can skip that...

    Insanity and Over 40

    I'm 40 and did the 2 month rotation as suggested with a few things added on here and there. If you are used to advanced cardio, this will be a fun challenge for you. I found this much easier on my body than step or running.
