Anyone doing/did the Insanity workout?

[IAmTheWalrus]

I'm seriously considering trying it or something similar (P90x) as I'm just sick of being out of shape, I eat to much junk, I still smoke after my GI pleaded with me to stop (basically being a stupid tosspot, also, I vow to give up those smokes, whether it drives me to the brink of ...... insanity ...... ). I put on a little bit more weight than I wanted, but now, after seeing a friend of mine who I hadn't in about 6 months, I could believe how ripped he was, he was always distinctly average and now he looks completely different.

I wanna know what it feels like to be "in shape", I mean, I don't nor expect to become a cardio machine, but losing some extra fat and putting on some muscle would be awesome, especially with summertime around the corner.

So, Crohnies & UC'ers, anyone the aforementioned programme or something similar?

The insanity workout? No, I'm not that crazy. Not yet anyway. If you haven't done anything similar, I would recommend trying P90X, or just do a few workouts with Billy Banks on youtube and see how you do first, before you commit to total insanity.

If you survived both, then you're ready to go for insanity.

Im doing Georges st pierres rushfit dvds at the moment. I find a few of them very hard (eyes were all blurry afterwards) and the rest just hard lol. Im in no ways the best of shape but wouldnt say I was out of shape either (I regularly go for 2-4mile runs).

The main parts are great and varied, but the 10mn warm up and cool down are the same for each dvd (warm ups are still great but I feel the cool down stretches could be much better).

I do find that I have to control how much I put in to it though, as too much and it plays my stomach up (bloating and D). I would rather manage 2 sessions per week and still feel good than 1 session and be having to go to the toilet all the time (like I am now.. 4 days and im still aching like hell as well)

I've see George St. Pierre's furry self-defense training video below, but not certain how it relates:
