    if that's what you guys think because i think before some one is born i think the person is already mentally fit so is either you keep up or stay as you are.

    You be careful as your body is still growing! You dont need to loose weight, but its no harm to keep toned.Its very dangerous to become obsessed with weight loss.You are lovely and unspoiled as you are! Sigh! X.

    For those who are confused, "Insanity" is a 12 DVD + Diet system, devised by BeachBody...you've probably seen the infocomnercials on tv late at night....

    So, you have a rolling 60 Day programme, which gains intensity as it goes...

    The premise is that YOU are the gym....you don't need any equipment at all....just an exercise mat for some of the stretching/yoga moves....but, in general, the idea is to do a series of exercises, usually flat out for 30-45 secs before instantly hitting the next one...and so on. You work flat out for 3 mins before you are dying and have 30 secs before you hit the next one....you do 3 sets of those exercises before hitting the next 3 different sets....

    The workout lasts about 40 mins or so....very cardio based....there's lots of squats...lots of jumping....lots of pushups, both stationary and moving.....sit ups....running....quick moves....

    The workouts, 6 days a week, will burn off 700-1000 calories a time...

    For men and women, it's regularly called the hardest workout put on DVD....

    You'll lose fat...gain muscle....gain a strong core....and be able to just run and run and run....

    To be honest... You already appear to be as fit as hell to me - if not a little fitter. Which part were thinking might be improved?

    But whichever - I'm fairly confident I couldn't keep up.

    Wow! You sure picked a tough one/ but good also. Instead of buying the program I looked on tumblr & into mens health, womens health mag. and web sites and copyed down a lot of exercises. Also on proper food, receipts, etc...also take some time to study what foods provide better for your body. It has to work together.

    I joined an on line program called "Beyond Diet". The news I receive from them about the food we eat today would make you cringe. It's no wonder everyone is overweight or sick.
    The reason I bring this up is to explain that if you want to loose weight and be healthy the easiest guide is: do not eat wheat, corn, sugar, or soy. That means all forms of those four. All corn including corn syrup, corn oil, all wheat ... white wheat, whole grain wheat, any sugar, any soy.
    We've been told for decades this stuff is healthy, but our bodies don't know what to do with this junk.
    Stay away from processed food and artificial sweeteners, any food or drink that's been in plastic. Make your own meals from fresh produce.
    Do I sound like a nut case? You'll find out some day.

      Your concerns are true but overstated. There is nothing wrong with eating grains or soy moderately. Also BPA assuming that is your concern with plastics has been vastly tested and while it is toxic in high concentrations it is only found in trace amounts leeching from plastic containers in amounts 400 times lower than safety is indicated. Even if that number is optimistic it is so far below as to be negligible. BPA does not bio-accumulate either. You have to realize that many of these nutrition alarmist groups have their own profit motive and agenda. While it is certainly better to get ALL produce from local grown small farms which use natural pest control and fertilizer it is not so that specific foods are necessarily deleterious to health. Wheat is fine if you are not intolerant to gluten. No food should be eaten to excess as our bodies develop allergies to many. Keeping your diet varied is the best idea and NO blanket approach to nutrition is a good plan. Processed foods I agree should be avoided whenever possible but an occasional snack in time of need isn't going to kill you either. Better that than letting your blood sugar tank. Be careful of the studies you read and their source. Make sure they are proper clinical studies with good controls.

    Enjoy it hun....

    I've been doing it for the last 18 months....whenever I do it again it's always the same...the first week is the hardest! Heck, the first day!

    Let me prep you by stating that it's best not to do the fitness test straight before the first workout. One, or even both, of them will suffer! What I would recommend is AT LEAST have 30 mins interval prior to that first workout....

    Drink plenty of fluids - I recommend just water - during the exercise and, once finished, have a protein heavy meal/shake NO LATER than an hour after your workout....

    Try to get the form right first as things like the 'C Sit Ups' can really hurt your back if your form isn't right...

    Try for taking only a few deep breath breaks when you need them/on your knees....you'll find that your mind quits long before your body does....

    Results, physically, might take a while....in terms of body shape and/or fat loss, but you will begin to feel much better after only a week!

    Rest is important! Likewise warm ups and cool downs...

    Don't skimp on them!

    Any more advice.....just write to me, ok?

    Good luck.....and enjoy the ride!

    ;-)

    Well, I'm sure it's good for you -- if you are going to gain muscle mass...I hope that's your goal. You surely don't have to LOSE weight, pianogirl. So, have some protein. FYI, you are beautiful -- right now. Even though I think I look OK, (or I wouldn't post THOSE pix) I am going to get back to where I was about 10 years ago. I can tone up more. More exercise, a little less 'bad' food.

    I followed that link over to YouTube and watched a video which is a great video by the way but for some odd reason I thought it was going to be a video about you working out you should make a video about your progress that's what I think
