Likewith any workout or diet the proof is in the pudding as they say. Wait no pudding! Pudding is bad lol ? I would say the majority of people when researching a new workout are looking for before and after pictures. I know when I was researching the Insanity Workout I did the same thing. Fast forward 2 years and you can read my in depth insanity workout review here -workout-review/ and see my before and afters right here.
Anyways since before and after pictures are often being searched I wanted to create a gallery of them here. So below is a gallery of Insanity Workout Before & After Pictures I have compiled. Of course some results are better then others, but you can see results in everyone. I love the faces of everyone. Thinner looking and more happier. It is amazing what losing a few pounds can do to your facial features.
Yeah I like to print out some of the pics and just leave them next to my workout area to keep me going some days! Mark pull the trigger man! Insanity really gives you all the tools to get in the best shape of your life you just have to follow them. Transformation is attainable in 60 days for sure. You can read more about the actually workout here -workout-review/ Hit me up if you need to know more!
Becca if you are going to commit to the 60 days you should change your diet for sure. You will get the best results that way. Also it is not just about 60 days, because if after the 60 days you go back to your old habits you are just going to lose all the progress so it is really about a full lifestyle change. The great thing about Insanity is that it really does turn you into a fat burning machine. So even a slight change in better eating will help you drastically!

SINCE my experiences in Blackwell's Island Insane Asylum werepublished in the World I have received hundreds of lettersin regard to it. The edition containing my story long since ranout, and I have been prevailed upon to allow it to be publishedin book form, to satisfy the hundreds who are yet asking forcopies.
I am happy to be able to state as a result of my visit to theasylum and the exposures consequent thereon, that the City of NewYork has appropriated $1,000,000 more per annum than ever beforefor the care of the insane. So I have at least the satisfactionof knowing that the poor unfortunates will be the better caredfor because of my work.
My instructions were simply to go on with my work as soon as I feltthat I was ready. I was to chronicle faithfully the experiences I underwent,and when once within the walls of the asylum to find out and describe itsinside workings, which are always, so effectually hidden by white-cappednurses, as well as by bolts and bars, from the knowledge of the public."We do not ask you to go there for the purpose of making sensational revelations.Write up things as you find them, good or bad; give praise or blame asyou think best, and the truth all the time. But I am afraid of that chronicsmile of yours," said the editor. "I will smile no more," I said, and Iwent away to execute my delicate and, as I found out, difficult mission.
I shuddered to think how completely the insane were in the powerof their keepers, and how one could weep and plead for release, and allof no avail, if the keepers were so minded. Eagerly I accepted themission to learn the inside workings of the Blackwell Island Insane Asylum.
All the preliminary preparations for my ordeal were left to be plannedby myself. Only one thing was decided upon, namely, that I shouldpass under the pseudonym of Nellie Brown, the initials of which would agree with my own name and my linen, so that there would be no difficultyin keeping track of my movements and assisting me out of any difficultiesor dangers I might get into. There were ways of getting into the insaneward, but I did not know them. I might adopt one of two courses. EitherI could feign insanity at the house of friends, and get myself committedon the decision of two competent physicians, or I could go to mygoal by way of the police courts.
But here let me say one thing: From the moment I entered the insaneward on the Island, I made no attempt to keep up the assumed roleof insanity. I talked and acted just as I do in ordinary life. Yet strangeto say, the more sanely I talked and acted the crazier I was thought tobe by all except one physician, whose kindness and gentle ways I shallnot soon forget.
BUT to return to my work and my mission. After receiving myinstructions I returned to my boarding-house, and when eveningcame I began to practice the role in which I was to makemy debut on the morrow. What a difficult task, I thought, toappear before a crowd of people and convince them that I wasinsane. I had never been near insane persons before in my life,and had not the faintest idea of what their actions were like.And then to be examined by a number of learned physicians whomake insanity a specialty, and who daily come in contactwith insane people! How could I hope to pass these doctorsand convince them that I was crazy? I feared that they could notbe deceived. I began to think my task a hopeless one; but it hadto be done. So I flew to the mirror and examined my face. Iremembered all I had read of the doings of crazy people, how firstof all they have staring eyes, and so I opened mine as wide aspossible and stared unblinkingly at my own reflection. I assureyou the sight was not reassuring, even to myself, especially inthe dead of night. I tried to turn the gas up higher in hopesthat it would raise my courage. I succeeded only partially, but Iconsoled myself with the thought that in a few nights more Iwould not be there, but locked up in a cell with a lot oflunatics.
I first thought it best to go to a boarding-house, and, aftersecuring lodging, confidentially tell the landlady, or lord,whichever it might chance to be, that I was seeking work, and, ina few days after, apparently go insane. When I reconsidered the idea, I feared it would take too long to mature. Suddenly Ithought how much easier it would be to go to a boarding-home forworking women. I knew, if once I made a houseful of women believeme crazy, that they would never rest until I was out of theirreach and in secure quarters.
From a directory I selected the Temporary Home for Females,No. 84 Second Avenue. As I walked down the avenue, I determinedthat, once inside the Home, I should do the best I could to getstarted on my journey to Blackwell's Island and the InsaneAsylum.
I WAS left to begin my career as Nellie Brown, the insane girl. As Iwalked down the avenue I tried to assume the look which maidens wear inpictures entitled "Dreaming." "Far-away" expressions have a crazy air.I passed through the little paved yard to the entrance of the Home. I pulledthe bell, which sounded loud enough for a church chime, and nervously awaitedthe opening of the door to the Home, which I intended should ere long castme forth and out upon the charity of the police. The door was thrown backwith a vengeance, and a short, yellow-haired girl of some thirteen summersstood before me.
I followed these not overkind or polite instructions and found myselfin a dark, uncomfortable back-parlor. There I awaited the arrival of myhostess. I had been seated some twenty minutes at the least, when a slenderwoman, clad in a plain, dark dress entered and, stopping before me, ejaculatedinquiringly, "Well?"
"I shall be glad of that," I answered. "How much do you charge?" I hadbrought only about seventy cents along with me, knowing full well thatthe sooner my funds were exhausted the sooner I should be put out, andto be put out was what I was working for.
"We charge thirty cents a night," was her reply to my question, andwith that I paid her for one night's lodging, and she left me on the pleaof having something else to look after. Left to amuse myself as best Icould, I took a survey of my surroundings.
By the time I had become familiar with my quarters a bell, which rivaledthe door-bell in its loudness, began clanging in the basement, and simultaneouslywomen went trooping down-stairs from all parts of the house. I imagined,from the obvious signs, that dinner was served, but as no one had saidanything to me I made no effort to follow in the hungry train. Yet I didwish that some one would invite me down. It always produces such a lonely,homesick feeling to know others are eating, and we haven't a chance, evenif we are not hungry. I was glad when the assistant matron came up andasked me if I did not want something to eat. I replied that I did, andthen I asked her what her name was. Mrs. Stanard, she said, and I immediatelywrote it down in a notebook I had taken with me for the purpose of makingmemoranda, and in which I had written several pages of utter nonsense forinquisitive scientists.
"Bread goes in," she explained, as she made her way to the kitchen,which was in the rear. It was not very long before she returned with whatI had ordered on a large, badly battered tray, which she banged down beforeme. I began my simple meal. It was not very enticing, so while making afeint of eating I watched the others.
When the meal was finished each woman went to the desk in the corner,where Mrs. Stanard sat, and paid her bill. I was given a much-used, andabused, red check, by the original piece of humanity in shape of my waitress.My bill was about thirty cents.
After dinner I went up-stairs and resumed my former place in the backparlor. I was quite cold and uncomfortable, and had fully made up my mindthat I could not endure that sort of business long, so the sooner I assumedmy insane points the sooner I would be released from enforced idleness.Ah! that was indeed the longest day I had ever lived. I listlessly watchedthe women in the front parlor, where all sat except myself.
