Scott Morrison lost 45 pounds doing P90X and he is in top shape. He wants to go to the next level with Insanity. Here is what he writes after Day 2:
“I don’t think I could use easy and Insanity in the same sentence, unless I included the word wasn’t. It is extreme! Day 2 today, cardio power and resistance. It reminds me of basketball drills, except at a much higher level. A lot of jumping back and forth, hurdles, heisman’s, push-ups, in place sprints. I was debating on whether I should wear my running shoes, I normally wear cross-trainers for my workouts. My legs hurt, my arms were collapsing on the push-ups. Did I mention it’s extreme, if not, it’s extreme! On a positive note, I think the only way to go is up.
For nutrition I’ve been sticking close to the P90X phase 2. I think I’ll need to modify that. The book says you need more carbs to sustain the workout, I think it’s true. I was bonking yesterday around 1-2pm, and I ate my regular food for breakfast/snack/lunch. I had to have my afternoon snack early to get my energy level back up. I was planning on doing 2-4 weeks of P90X phase 1 diet when starting Insanity, but don’t think it will get me through it.
Did I mention it’s extreme?”
