When my husband stalled on his weight loss, I directed him to P90X Plyometrics. And told him to watch and listen to Tony Horton and his explanation on landing on your feet properly after jumps. He helped me more than Cathe ever did in how you are suppose to land after these moves. And I told my husband to only work this exercise into his schedule 2x's a week, after his first workout he even said no one should do that workout more than twice a week. These types of workouts wear you out and wears your body out, especially your knees. Shoes are critical, which I told my husband to purchase a different pair for this type of workout
(running shoes or your regular kick around the house sneaks won't do), your flooring is critical, all that is part of the equation to avoid injury. But we all know that folks purchasing Insanity are not thinking like that. Many jump into it without proper instruction, wanting to lose weight and end up getting hurt. I have read on the boards, forums about folks getting hurt from Insanity more than anything else.
