Customer Reviews:
Insanity is a butt kicking high impact sweaty affair
I am 44, 5ft 3 1/2 inches. I have been exercising for the pass 14 years on and off. My main thing was weight training, spinning and walking out doors. I also did a few home videos such as Billy Blanks Taebo Amped – full throttle, Billy’s Boot Camp, Step Reebok intense moves with Gin Miller etc. I was doing well until I hit rock bottom and gained 23 lbs. Although I was skeptical March of this year I tried Shaun T’s Hip Hop Abs, the Dance Party Series and The Rockin Body DVD’s and loves them. I commit myself five some times six days a week and I lose 18 lbs. When Insanity was released I was so excited I ordered it right away. I must admit this is a monster of a workout. I was not expecting anything like this but I took on the challenge.
This program is 60-days very extreme and is broken into two phase. The workouts range from 35-45 minutes in month 1 with a rotation of 5 disk which is a little easier and 1 hour in month 2 with a rotation of 4 disk which is much harder but doable. First you start off by doing a fit test which consists of switch kicks, power jacks, power knees, power jumps, globe jumps, push up jacks, and low plank oblique. For each moves you have 1 minute to do as much reps as you can. These moves you will see through out the workouts. At the end of the 60 days you take the fit test again to see how you have progressed. There is a wall calendar that shows you which workout to do each day and there is an elite nutrition plan which requires you to eat 5 meals a day. In order to stick with the meal plan preparation is the key. Make your meals in advance. If you have knee issue, knee surgery, hip issue or lower back issue this workout is not for you because it involves a lot of jumping and bending such as vertical jumps, ski jumps, frog jumps, power jumps, 8 power knees/4 diamond jumps, switch jumps, hurdle jumps, basketball drills, power squats, floor switch kicks, floor hops side to side etc. It would not be wise to put your body through such a brutal workout and risk further injuries. For those who do not have any of the above issue I would suggest that you wear some form of a knee brace to protect your knees. I use Mueller wraparound hinged knee brace support – LG3333.
The workouts begin with a brutal warm up. The warm up is about 7 to 10 minutes but it feels like a real workout and I was dripping in sweat. I was thankful for the 5 to 7 minutes stretch that followed and at the end of each workout you stretch again. In these workouts you only use your body weight and gravity to push through them. You perform long bursts of maximum intensity exercises with short periods of rest. Each workout keeps you challenged. As you move from disk to disk the workouts become repetitive but I like it because it allows me to really follow along. If you do not like doing the same thing over and over you will not like this workout you will consider it to be boring. During the workouts I dig as deep as I could. I did not try to keep passé with Shaun T and his cast members and they were not able to keep up either. I just do my best and forget the rest. I had to modify a lot of the moves and I did not do some of them I replace them with something I could handle. I really focus on doing as much as I could with proper form which is very important. Shaun says “FORM OVER SPEED”. Shaun is very encouraging and he really pushes you. I love the fact that he was getting his butt kick along with us.
I completed the program in September. Although I only lost 7 lbs, 11inches overall and 1 inch off my waist I gain a lot of muscle tone and definition. My arms, chest, shoulders and abs changed but I did not see that ripping effect. I will need to repeat this program several times before I get that kind of result. My strength and endurance have increased tremendously. I have seen great improvement in my second fit test which is very inspiring. Over all this is an excellent program to kick off the New Year with. IF you are mentally ready and want to challenge your self try this program. If you really want to step up your game this is it. You will be amazed by what you can do. Just commit your self and follow the nutrition plan and you will see the results. A lot of thought was put into this program. Shaun and Beach Body really out do them selves with this one. The only thing is it would have been nice if someone was doing modified moves. In his other programs Tania always do the modified moves. I was a bit surprise that was not done here however, I was able to modify the moves to work for me based on my experience with Shaun’s other DVD’s. Most of the individual DVDs in this package are “lifetime” workouts. I can see myself doing them for years to come. My focus right now is to maintain therefore I keep repeating the program but I am not following it to a T, I am doing my own thing.
The 10 disk are broken down as follows:
(1) Dig Deeper & Fit Test – Introduction and Shaun put our body to the test.
(2) Plyometric Cardio Circuit – Intervals of lower body plyo (love it)
(3) Cardio Power & Resistance- Build lean muscles and upper body definition with strength training and power moves (love it)
(4) Cardio Recovery & Max Recovery – These involves yoga, balance, stretches and deep muscle work. (My favorite)
(5) Pure Cardio & Abs – tough none stop cardio. This one had me laughing. (My favorite)
(6) Cardio Abs – no crunch or sit ups but most of the work was on the floor.
I don’t see me using this disk. I will replace this one with hip hop abs- abs sculpts and rockin body- hard core abs these work for me.
(7) Core Cardio & Balance – You do this workout for one week before you start month 2. I love this workout because I really get a break from the crazy pounding of my body during month 1. Things really slow down here. The focus is on your core and your heart. (Love it)
(8) Max Interval Circuit – very intense- you have to bring it – I give this one every thing I got since Shaun state that he is going to kick our butts. I find myself going to this disk alot I just love it. (My favorite)
(9) Max Interval Plyo – to me this is the hardest of them all. My legs feel like they were going to give way. Lots of jumping and strange push ups. I call this the push ups marathon – v push ups, squat push ups, power push ups, balance push ups and more. I will use this disk the least.
(I HATE IT)
(10) Max Cardio Conditioning & Abs- endurance training – tough (love it)
Note: There is also a deluxe package with three additional DVD’s which is broken down as follows:
1)MAX INTERVAL SPORTS TRAINING
2)INSANE ABS
3)UPPER-BODY WEIGHTED WORKOUT
From what I have read these workouts will not only push you to the edge, it will push you right over it! Well! I am not ready to go there.
I want to love this… BUT
I got this for Xmas and was very excited – spent the first four days doing this according to plan. I should add that I am in my 30’s and teach fitness classes at my gym and am in pretty decent shape. I exercise regularly. However, I have a history of issues with my knees. I can avoid flare ups if I avoid lunges, etc. This DVD set makes it literally impossible for people with joint issues – especially knees – to participate in this without seriously injuring themselves. This is stated on the warning at the beginning of the program – however, nowhere did I read that before dropping $150 to order. Shaun T is awesome – the program is challenging and if you are looking for something to use at home, get this. It is addicting and intense. However, if you have even the slightest issue with your knees, DO NOT BUY THIS!
Really good. Really, really, really HARD!
I’ve done and continue to use at home workout DVD’s. I am a P90X advocate and still enjoy it. The “Insanity” workout is just that, INSANEly difficult. I consider myself in an advanced category (or very close) in cardio workouts, but it took me three weeks to finish any of the workouts for the duration. I found that after 30 minutes I just couldn’t muster enough energy to complete the entire workout at the expected pace.
This is a really tough workout. It’ the first time I’ve ever seen the actual participants take breaks during the routine. Unless your ready to workout out to exhaustion, don’t buy this yet. Try P90X and P90X+ workouts. If you can finish those without any breaks or exhaustion then this might work for you!
