INSANITY Workout DVD with Shaun T. | Beachbody 60-Day Exercise Program Review

June 7, 2010 By Steve Leave a Comment

The Sequel to INSANITY is AVAILABLE NOW!
-Released 4/8/11

The INSANITY workout program from Shaun T. and Beachbody is designed for the physically prepared and the mentally strong. When released, INSANITY was promoted as among the most difficult and effective workout programs ever created, surpassing even P90X in sheer intensity and effort required.

Now that my copy of INSANITY has arrived and I’ve started the workouts, I intend to write an article on each workout to give readers a feel for what’s involved with every step of the 60 day process.

Shaun T.’s “MAX Interval Training” takes you through extended bursts of high-intensity exercises with only short periods of rest, an interval approach that helps push past your previous barriers. It’s said that the program can burn up to 1,000 calories per workout…and I don’t doubt it. Follow my progress to see if I can really get a ripped, muscular physique in just 60 days — or click below to try it yourself.

While both are extreme fitness programs, INSANITY differs from P90X in that it requires no resistance bands or exercise equipment of any kind. But can it really deliver life changing results in just 60 days, compared to the 90 day P90X program? For many, it already has. The workouts are specifically designed and sequenced to give users optimal results in the shortest possible time period.

Who is Shaun T.? With a background in sports science, dance and choreography, Shaun T. owes his celebrity and credibility in part to the success of Hip Hop Abs, also from Beachbody. INSANITY takes his enthusiasm and training approach to the next level.

Even the INSANITY packaging is more impressive than that of P90X. It’s a big, substantial book housing two DVD’s per page. The rear inside cover includes a sleeve which holds the Fitness Guide and Elite Nutrition Guide. It’s a visually appealing and convenient package that will be perfect for travel.

INSANITY includes plyometric routines and nonstop intervals of strength, power, resistance, and ab and core training on 10 DVDs.

  • DVD 1. Dig Deeper & Fit Test: Shaun T. puts your body through an initial test to see what you’re made of
  • DVD 2. Plyometric Cardio Circuit: Burn fat with intervals of intense lower-body plyo and sweat-inducing cardio
  • DVD 3. Cardio Power & Resistance: Build lean muscle and upper-body definition with strength-training and Insanity workout power moves.
  • DVD 4. Cardio Recovery: Shaun T goes easier on you once a week so you’re ready for the next Insanity workout round
  • DVD 5. Pure Cardio & Abs: Skip the intervals…this nonstop cardio workout is all extreme
  • DVD 6. Cardio Abs: Do explosive intervals of cardio and core moves for rock-hard abs
  • DVD 7. Core Cardio & Balance: Take a break after month 1 of the Insanity program and gear up for month 2 with this workout
  • DVD 8. Max Interval Circuit: The interval circuit that’s more intense than anything you’ve ever done before
  • DVD 9. Max Interval Plyo: Push your legs until they beg for mercy with power and plyo, all at your MAX
  • DVD 10. Max Cardio Conditioning & Abs: Get pushed to your limit with this extreme cardio workout

Pride in Exercising | It’s Not Just About How You Look

April 22, 2010 By Steve Leave a Comment

There are thousands of articles on the internet about the physical benefits of exercise, so I won’t attempt to add to those.  This post is more about the pride which comes with sticking to and completing an exercise program.

I am currently working through P90X for the third time.  I didn’t jump right in — I first conditioned my body gradually and got used to daily exercise using Tony Horton’s 10 Minute Trainer, completing two rounds of TMT before moving on to P90X.

The first round was actually the easiest for me to stick with.  I was extremely devoted and never missed a day, even when sick.  The pride and psychological benefits that come with starting and finishing a program are just indescribable, especially an extreme fitness program like P90X or INSANITY.

This sense of pride is developed through the devotion required to finish a program and overcome the mental and physical challenges involved.  It’s also a proven fact that exercise boosts  self-esteem.  The TV infomercials neglect to mention the psychological benefits and mental changes that occur as you work through a fitness program.  To finish a program alone takes will power, devotion, and mental strength, which in turn builds a sense of pride, accomplishment and confidence that affects all aspects of your life.

Choose the fitness program that’s right for you and get started today!

P90X Workout Review | Chest, Shoulders and Triceps

April 10, 2010 By Steve Leave a Comment

Have you been curious about P90X but not sure what the workouts  consist of? Here’s an overview of the Chest, Shoulders and Triceps workout.

Does it push you to your limits?  Yes.  Every P90X workout does.  If not,  you’re not putting in the required effort.

This routine isolates your chest with a variety of push-up styles.  Slow motion push-ups, plange push-ups, and pike presses completely target your shoulders and pecs to help give you the ultimate upper body workout.

There are a total of 24 different exercises in this intense upper body routine.  The majority of weight exercises focus on shoulders and triceps with tricep extensions, throws, and presses.

Tony Horton’s humorous yet serious focus creates a motivation style that will really  push you to get the desired results.

Ready to give it a shot?  There’s always a 30-day money back guarantee, and I’d love to be your personal coach to give you a source of motivation and inspiration.

P90X and Insanity Hybrid Fitness Program

February 27, 2010 By Lisa Leave a Comment

I have been doing the Insanity  60-day fitness program for almost a full month now and I love it!

I also love P90X and am a 2-time P90X grad!!

As I neared completion of Insanity, I thought about which fitness program to do next – “Why not combine P90X and Insanity!”

That alone was all the motivation I needed to start planning my P90X – Insanity hybrid fitness program.  Planning a hybrid Insanity and P90X program  takes time and careful thought.  The basis of my idea is to do the weight training of P90X, and on cardio days, do Insanity.  That’s as far as I’ve taken the idea to this point, but count on future posts which elaborate on the hybrid workout idea as it continues to develop.

You can implement a hybrid workout into your fitness routine too! If you are using a Beachbody program such as Chalean Extreme or 10 Minute Trainer, and you’re ready to move on, why not create your own custom workout using the two programs and maximize the return on your investment?  Your body will thank you for it!

Whether you have a program you adhere to or not, you can join Team Beachbody for free and take advantage of online fitness tools and community support.

Your Exercise Environment

January 24, 2010 By Steve Leave a Comment

P90XThe importance of the environment in which you exercise can often be overlooked, especially if you workout at home and have a regular routine established.

This topic occurred to me about two weeks ago while doing my P90X Plyometrics workout.  That day I chose to workout in the bedroom, which is much smaller than my regular workout spot in the living room.

I quickly realized that exercising in a smaller space was forcing me to maintain better form during each exercise.  There wasn’t as much room for mistakes and my form was tighter and I was making each movement as efficiently as possible.

Another benefit was being able to watch my movements in the mirror.  This helped me not only maintain proper form, but also to keep my intensity level consistent.

Having more objects available to focus on during certain exercises was also helpful.  For example, during the “hot foot” exercise that involves jumping in the shape of a cross, I  was able to make sure my cross lined up with the gaps in the tile on the floor.

Always consider the environment you exercise in…and mix it up.  It really can make a big difference in motivation, focus and results.

P90X vs. Insanity

January 21, 2010 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Have you been trying to decide between P90X and Insanity?  Just wondering what’s different between Insanity and P90X?

Well here’s the answer.

P90X is a good balance of cardio and resistance training.  You can use resistance bands or dumbbells in conjunction with body resistance to get ripped and fit in only 3 months!  P90X will get YOU in the best shape of your life!  Tony Horton will have YOU sweating and pushing harder than you have in your life!  Want to build your upper body strength?  Tony will have YOU doing hundreds of push-ups within 3 months!  Want to lose weight?  With Plyometrics and Kenpo X, you’ll sweat off the pounds faster than you can possibly put them on!

Insanity, on the other hand, is more focused on cardio, but does feature some body resistance training (no weights).  Shaun T will have YOU running, jumping, stretching, and moving faster in just 60 days!  With an intense focus on cardio exercise, Insanity will burn off any extra pounds you may be carrying!  Shaun T will push you past your limits to get the leanest, hardest body you’ve ever had.  YOU will have better cardio health than people half your age by the time you finish this program!

Ready?  Good!

Feeling Insane?

With a 30-day money back guarantee, you have absolutely NOTHING to lose and GREAT HEALTH to gain!
