Finished Insanity 63 days, finished Asylum 30 days, and now Insanity/Asylum Hybrid progress

MY REVIEW OF THE INSANITY PROGRAM AFTER 30 DAYS!

Insanity is amazing! NO MORE CRASH DIETS! Insanity is a lifestyle change for me! Thanks Shaun T for giving me my life back!

It's week 5 of recovery and I have lost 5lbs. I have lost 1lb every week instead of gaining, which is amazing! I thought I was adding on a lot of muscle but apparently I'm losing the weight first! I can't believe it. I've never been able to steadily lose the weight. No more crash dieting for me! Crash diets never work and you always gain the weight back. Now I can finally eat healty and exercise and look ripped! My dream body is finally coming true! Shaun T is the best trainer in the world in my opinion! His personality just fits me for training. I feel like his voice is perfect for the videos and he's so motivating! I want to try Insanity Asylum for my next 30 day challenge! Meekz Follow me on twitter @meekzparadise

DAY 30 Insanity Results!

I just started week 5 Cardio Core and Balance. I will be doing this for the whole week to get my body ready for month 2 Max Interval Training! Like month 1 wasn't hard enough, it gets harder!! Here is my current pictures. I lost 4lbs and gained some muscle:) What do I think about Insanity? - I absolutely love this workout! I have never gotten results this fast ever! I used myfitnesspal to keep track of my calories and it's been working for me. I haven't been able to lose the weight in years and actually keep it off! Forget about being skinny, I want to be ripped! The more muscle the better, to keep the fat off for good!

Online Calculator for calories burned based on your Avg HR

Today is Day 13 of Insanity

http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/heart-rate-based-calorie-burn-calculator.aspx I liked this website where you can put in your age, weight, duration of exercise, and average heart rate. I did 54 mintues of Pure Cardio and then Abs and got an average heart rate of 167 beats per min (90% of my estimated maximum heart rate (186bpm). My heart rate max was 186 with my Polar F1 HRM. My calculation came out to an estimated 714 calories burned per hour. In 54 minutes and 6 seconds I will burn approximately 644 calories! WOW.. I am drenched in sweat!!

How to calculate calories burned, but you must have a HRM to get your average HR

The following equation from the Journal of Sports Sciences calculates the calorie expenditure for women: Calories = [(0.074 x Age) + (0.4472 x Heart Rate) -- (0.05741 x Weight) -- 20.4022] x Time / 4.184. Men use the following equation: Calories = [(0.2017 x Age) + (0.6309 x Heart Rate) -- (0.09036 x Weight) -- 55.0969] x Time / 4.184.

I used this formula to calculate my calories burned at an average heart rate of 179 and a 40 minute workout. It comes out to 526 calories for my workout today. I have a HRM with a chest strap but it doesn't calculate calories burned. It's an F1 Polar HRM which I got a long time ago for spinning classes but I use it now for my Insanity workouts because it's "High Intensity Interval Training!" I just ordered the S7 HRM from Walmart and it was $29. I'm just using it to get the calories burned since I tried a pedometer and that didn't read accurately. It said I only burned 80 calories for 2 miles and that's not accurate for doing the Insanity workouts!
