Shaun T is amazing and so is this highly intense in-home fitness program called Insanity. Beachbody, the company that produces other highly effective and popular home fitness workouts like P90X has done it again and this time takes it to another level of fitness. Let me just start off by saying that this program is NOT for beginners. Heck, even the warm-up about killed me off and I have done P90X 2 rounds! So, make sure that if you are considering this program that you are in good physical condition and are not just getting started on your fitness journey. Insanity Workout Program Calendar
Insanity's theme is to "Dig Deep" and "Get Fit or Get Out" which is really the darned truth! If you are not mentally and physically prepared for this program you need to be. Not only do you need to be in good health physically you also need to bring your A game when it comes to mental toughness. "Mind over Matter" is really so important in this workout program because there will be times that you want to quit because it is so challenging but put your mind to it and you CAN complete this program. Another thing that you need to be sure to remember is that it is OK to quit and take a break/rest. Even the participants on the DVD's have to take a break so don't worry about the fact that you need to stop and get some rest. Stop, get some water, catch your breathe and then get back in there.
Do your best and forget the rest-thanks Tony Horton!
The 60 day program begins with a FIT TEST on Day 1. Make sure that you complete this FIT TEST and make sure to record your initial results. This is a very effective way to measure your progress over the next 2 months so don't skip this. It is a good workout in itself. The Fit Test includes a series of 7 moves of which you do as many as you can in 60 seconds. These include switch kicks, power jacks, power knees, power jumps, suicide jumps, push-up jacks, and finally low plank obliques. That is a lot kicks, jumps and power, huh? Write these down on the calendar that comes with your program and hang it near the place where you will be working out for ease of access.
The first month's workouts include Cardio Circuit, Cardio Power and Resistance, Pure Cardio, Cardio Recovery, Cardio Abs. The first 30 days of the program's workouts are only about 35-40 minutes long. You will workout 6 days a week with a rest day on your 7th day. I strongly recommend that you take that rest day and do nothing unless you want to do some light exercise. Insanity Workout Program Calendar
Week 5 of the program is considered your "Recovery Week" which includes 6 days of a workout called Core Cardio and Balance. Don't confuse yourself with "recovery" and it being easy because this workout still ensure that you feel a burn! It is not easy but it is less intense than the regular workouts! You will love this week because Month 2 is HARDCORE as Shaun T intensifies things up to a whole new level!
Month 2 workouts include: Max Cardio Conditioning; Max Intervals, Max Circuit, and Max Recovery. It also includes again Cardio Abs as well. These workouts are longer in duration up to about 55-60 minutes of hardcore workouts with amazing cardio intensity. During my first round of the Insanity workout program, I lost the most weight and inches and noticed the most results. Not that I didn't in the first month because I did but you really work your tail off in Month 2.
If you really want the best results, you need to commit to BOTH the fitness routine and the Elite nutrition guide that comes with the program. I really enjoyed this nutrition program because it is higher in carbohydrates than the P90X food plan and you get to eat a lot of food! You WILL definitely need all of the energy you can get to make it though the workouts.
Overall, this is a great program if you are willing to work hard; eat right (follow the nutrition guide provided) and are mentally prepared to complete a program of this nature. Shaun T is a fantastic, motivating trainer and he has now become my favorite next to Tony Horton from P90X. I lost a total of 10 pounds and 10 inches during my first round of the Insanity workout program and I am looking forward to seeing what the 2nd round does for me this time.
As Shaun T says, Dig Deeper Ya'll. Lets Go! You can do this program but be sure to order the entire program from Beachbody and save yourself the trouble. Don't bootleg it or buy it from online stores like Amazon or eBay. Those are not LEGIT copies of the program and may or may not come with all of the DVD's or the nutrition guide. Do yourself justice right off the bat and invest into your health. If you are not willing to invest $120 into your health, than it is not that important to you! Insanity Workout Program Calendar
