I'm 3 weeks in now, noticed my mid section has started to slim out a bit, love handles are going down and my belly is shrking slowly, too.
I've read from various different people that the bigger differences come in the second month.
Its still bloody hard, have to kick myself up the bum to get it done but once i've done it i feel great.
The differences are absolutely more apparent in the latter part of the second month. The wife has much less to tone up and lose than I do, and she didn't really feel like there was much difference until looking at the photos she took.
I'm a MAN, so I don't do photos for comparison. Can tell in the mirror, though... and the t-shirts that I haven't worn for two years.
Sorry I thought you meant the DVD of one of the weight training programmes. I was also only having a laugh, I don't really care what you do. If it works for you then it works.
No worries. Perhaps shouldn't be so touchy, in all honesty. Working with free weights at the moment for a few months, then need to get more cardio back in to the daily grind *ahem* I mean, pleasurable exercise.
If I'd known how much I'd be spending kitting out my house with bloody bars and plates, though, I'd have had second thoughts. Now need to buy a rack/stand to keep it all tidy! Also tempted to get some adjustable dumbbells to save time as re-doing bars begins to do my nut. Time is precious for me on a daily basis and every extra minute spent changing plates makes me silently rage.
Watching a few of the routines there is a lot of running on the spot/high knees. Might hurt quite a bit.
If you have any kind of leg problems then be careful. Get some knee supports. High knees, running, constant jumping. A large number of the exercises, whether it's running or jumping, involve bringing the knees to a high position. It will take its toll, for sure.
Funnily enough, I've actually suffered from shinsplints since I was a teenager but they've given me much less hassle on a general basis since finishing Insanity, and only occasionally caused me to have to stop mid-exercise to cool them down (mostly the running on the spot-based things). Still, knees... ouch.
