On the bright side, now when I sprint, it really shouldn't be any problem.

    Back to TPB for fitness. Will go walking later, and will call my gym to see if any of the instructors there are willing to private weightlifting lessons.

    I guess the insanity has passed...

    I really admire your posts which are great source of valuable and informative stuff which i believe would be really helpful not only for me but also for other people here . I also have joined Gym for workout to boost my muscles but there is some irregularity in my workout due to some work at home .

    Yeah, Mark's posts on Insanity and P90X pretty much cover it all. The main problem is, as with anything mass-produced to try to hook as many people as possible, it doesn't take into account that different people need different stimulus in order to get optimal results. It is definitely a lot of Chronic Cardio, and the progression isn't really a smart one. It also can lead to quick burnout with all the plyometrics taking a major toll on your central nervous system.
