When you exercise, if it hurts, you're doing it wrong.

Muscle soreness after strenuous exercise is normal, training again on top of the soreness is not a good idea, wait until the soreness has gone or train a different muscle area.

To a point yes.

If you can move the muscle with a full range of motion you'll be ok. If you can't the I agree you shouldn't train that group.

I would do insanity but can't afford the diet

 

[HarryMonk]

I am on day 22, it does get easier for a while but then I have found it tough for the last few days. Feel much better though as strength and suppleness grows I can feel myself swinging with much more power and core strength.

Press Play and Dig Deep

Insanity by name...At my age and in my state, including three hernias there is no chance of me trying day one let alone anything further. I'm not particularly fit but can get round 36 holes in a day without oxygen and so that'll do for me. I was looking at pilates as the wife was considering doing some from a DVD. Might go back to that at some point

I've seen the adverts and fancy giving this a go but always stopped at parting with my hard earned cash (golfing funds!!) as it's abit steep ....

So my question is, is it worth it??

Two things if your muscles hurt:-

1. You've trained a muscle(s) to the point of exhaustion and the soreness aftewards is the muscle repairing itself, so leave it be until it is no longer sore.
2. You are doing the exercise wrong and as it hurts you are increasing the risk of severely injuring yourself.

The two are different, soreness through exercise shows you have been working and got a sweat on, pain during exercise is a warning to stop.

I feel tired and sore just reading all of this.

Pain during exercis, absolutely stop.

Pain after is subjective as everyone has a different tolerance. As I say if you can attain full ROM with little pain, no issues in training. Not ideal ill grant you, but its far from unsafe.

Similar pain could be likened to running after a long lay off. Yes the muscles ache, but how many times have people gone for a run still sore and finish with a much freer, pain free ROM.

Aside from the wrong foot wear, you can't run wrong. Moving weight is no different. Correct form, adequate diet and rest, rinse and repeat.

I love press ups so they suited me. I've been doing mega sets of those this past couple of weeks - 30to1 which is 465 in one session - that hurt too!

465 press ups in a session??? Jeeeeez!!!

One session is called the "1000 UP"

You do 100 reps of ten exercises with one of them being shuttles

Need to do it in under 45 mins

A killer

I'm on the second harder month and it gets ramped up even more, I've never been overweight but I can't believe the changes I've seen already, my core strength has really improved as has my flexibility.
For those who have completed it what have you done after? I want to keep my fitness up, I'm toying with jumping straight into p90x.
I hate Shaun T !! Haha

Insanity Asylum

I love Shaun T and from the bits I've seen less keen on Tony Horton from P90X. Or just aim for 3-4 Insanity sessions a week?

Dounds very similar to the melt down 300 workout.

300 reps of set exrcises as quick as you can. My PB was 13 minutes

I was thinking of doing about 3 sessions a week when I'm done , I'm doing the great north run as well so with the training for that I should be really fit.

Have you done asylum? What's the difference?

 

[dotty001]

Just done cardio recovery ! Much easier :rofl:,although holding some of those stretches was tough

I gave insanity a go and managed up to day 14. Unfortunately I suffer from shin splints when I run and all the running on the spot left me in agony. I'm hoping to get some trainer fitted to my gait in the near future which will allow me to crack on with Insanity again. I was real sore most days but it made me feel great. I was doing it between 5 and 6 in the morning and was freeing up by 12.
I'm not sure that it's worth the £100 that some of you have probably paid for it though.
