I've read all the docs that came with it and watched the first 2 workouts. Initial impressions are that it looks tough and intense, but is achievable. Insanity will start next Sunday 6th Feb 2010. That will give me the Saturday as the day off, since I am so busy that day.
I start with a fitness test on Sunday. This is more than achievable - 7 different exercises, see how many reps of each exercise you can do in a minute. This is the base line and you re-do the fitness tests every fortnight to check you are progressing.
One other thing from the reading material that came with the Insanity programme is they recommend eating a calorie controlled diet. I eat healthily anyway, so I'm not too worried about that part of it. However, they do emphasise taking their own shake after a workout to replace nutrients lost during the workout and help muscle recovery. I'm going to investigate what shakes are out there and get some.
I'm looking forward to it beginning on Sunday now, but soon be begging for it to stop once it has begun.
Here's the first month of the schedule.
