Workouts in Review: Insanity


Guess what?

Beachbody has a new program, Insanity! This is a cardio-based program and uses only your own body weight as resistance. If you are ready to move non-stop for 60 days, this program is for you. Imagine bootcamp on steroids! Yep, it's that tough. I have previewed several of the workouts and am ready to jump in and begin. If I don't post for a few weeks I may have fallen over in exhaustion:) Even the initial Fit Test is tough. Because this is a cardio program you won't be able to compare the amount of weight you're lifting so instead you have to gauge it by how much better and higher you can jump and kick. In short, if you are new to working out DO NOT start with this program. If you are looking to kick up your fitness a notch, this IS your program.

Here are the workouts that come with the program:

  • Dig Deeper/Fit Test
  • Plyometric Cardio Circuit
  • Cardio Power & Resistance
  • Cardio Recovery/Max Recovery
  • Pure Cardio/Cardio Abs
  • Cardio Abs
  • Core Cardio & Balance
  • Max Interval Circuit
  • Max Interval Plyo
  • Max Cardio Conditioning/Cardio Abs
The program also comes with:

Elite Nutrition Plan – designed to fuel your body for these intense Insanity Workouts.

Fitness Guide– short and to the point. It's just the information you need. We want you working out... not reading.

Fit Test Tracker – tracks your results as you watch your body transform before your eyes.

Insanity Workout Guides


Also includes... INSANITY™ Calendar – organized into month 1 & month 2 to track your progress, set workout goals, and keep you motivated.

If you choose to you can opt for the Deluxe package which also includes:

MAX Interval Sports Training-

An interval workouts designed for elite athletes.

Insane Abs-

When you do this intense ab routine, you're going to find muscles you never knew you had.

Plus, a bonus workout:

Upper-Body Weighted Workout

Because even Shaun T lifts weights on occasion! This workout works your entire upper body—chest, back, arms, and shoulders.


The cool thing is that unlike Beachbody's other programs, this takes only 60 days vs. the usual 90. I know awesome, right? And all this in 1 hour a day!

I have three Beachbody programs and I know the quality and work that goes into them. I have never had bad results with their programs and I know they are worth the investment. This program, as well as many of Beachbody's other programs, offers you a 30 day money-back guarantee. Think about it, you get to try half of the program and if you don't like it you can send it back!

So what are you waiting for? GET ON IT!

I'm very curious about this program. Looking forward to seeing your reviews on it. Maybe after I get pregnant, after I have a baby, I can do something like that. I'm not one to do stuff in my home though... usually go to the gym for lifting and cardio. Keep us posted! :)

XOXO,
Kristen

I guess the difference between p90 and insanity is one builds muscle more than the other?? Hmmm.. I think I will go with insanity.
I already purchased it from this site
