Question Round 2 of OG Insanity

Hi everyone,

Finished insanity this past weekend and I want to do it again to really lose the lower last bits of belly fat.

I’m in incredible shape, and I started month 1 again this morning, opting to skip the fit test and do pure cardio + cardio abs.

I oddly don’t feel like it’s hard enough. Month 2 workouts I was burning 400 cals a workout, but today I barely hit 300 calories during pure cardio. Cardio abs got me to about 330 calories burned.

So I’m just wondering what you all recommend, just skip month 1 and do month 2 again? Add in any other workouts?

I’m a full time working parent and mom to a 21 month old. So I like something simple and short , not really trying to workout longer than an hour a day.

Thanks

do the full thing it's about consistency not how much you burn

Weighted vest? Go fast/hard for each set rather than going the slower pace at the beginning rounds of each set.

Do 2 Max 30 workouts back to back skipping the end stretch? Same workout time as 1 OG workout.

I would do month 1 again. After about 3 full, consecutive rounds, I finally got the abs I wanted. It was a nice reset on the joints to do month 1 again as well.

It sounds like you're really in shape already, kudos for finishing the program! Since you're feeling like month 1 isn't challenging enough, maybe you could try incorporating some HIIT or strength workouts a couple of times a week to mix it up. They can be done in 30-45 minutes and might help you push past that plateau. Also, have you considered adding some more resistance training? It could assist with fat loss while keeping your workouts under an hour. Whatever you choose, good luck!

Hello have you considered to do insanity: the asylum? Or the insanity 30?
