Once you reach your goals you can back off the intensity, lower the number of days a week you train, and go into maintenance mode. It is important to understand that being fit is a lifestyle. You have to schedule exercise into your weekly routine. And its not all about looks, its about being healthy and taking care of yourself. Because I am a Beachbody Coach and have done many of their workouts, people often ask me my opinion before they make a purchase.
Insanity is a challenging workout and it takes effort to get through the workout each day. There is no magic pill or special diet that will get you results.

List of Partners vendors. The Insanity Workout series, by the makers of P90X and part of the Beachbody program , tests every cardio limit you have with 10 high-intensity and self-described "insane" workouts.
There's no equipment needed, and there is a wide variety of cardio moves, from burpees and football runs to jumping jacks and line drills. The schedule maps out 60 days of increasingly intense interval workouts , and the work-to-rest ratio 3 minutes on, 30 seconds rest keeps you in the anaerobic zone for most of the workouts, making this a series that will appeal to experienced exercisers who want to push their limits. The name of this workout series, Insanity, says it all.
This day cardio-based program includes 10 workout DVDs with one goal in mind: To kick your butt with high-intensity aerobic and anaerobic interval training. Many of the workouts follow the same basic formula: High-intensity exercises for 3 minutes, followed by 30 seconds of rest.
This very short recovery time combined with such high-intensity exercise makes for very challenging workouts that quickly sneak up on you. The program also includes a basic nutrition plan not reviewed and a calendar mapping out your day schedule, which includes three weeks at a high intensity workouts are scheduled every day except one followed by a week of recovery workouts. For the first 30 days, you do up to 6 cardio workouts a week, each with a different focus— plyometrics, power and resistance, pure cardio, and circuits along with core workouts.
The last 30 days follow the same schedule, but your workouts increase in both time and intensity. Though they include different exercises, many of the workouts follow the same format: 3 to 5 high-intensity exercises in a row for 3 minutes, rest for 30 seconds and then repeat the series for a total of three times, working harder each time.
The workouts are led by Shaun T, a lean and motivating instructor. He also created the T25 workout and the Insanity Max The videos also show a gym full of exercisers that Shaun T pushes along the way.
Though they're all very fit, they do take breaks throughout the workouts. If you don't like high-impact exercise or gasping for air, you won't be a fan of these workouts. The exercises are straightforward and athletic, require no equipment, and you'll recognize many of them, such as jumping jacks, burpees, and line drills. There are unique moves as well, such as side burpees, combination pushups with jumping jacks, frog jumps, and more.
It's hard to believe someone could come up with that many high-intensity, killer exercises with no equipment needed, but they managed to do it. The DVDs include the following workouts. But I am getting ahead of myself. More on that later. How it works Throughout the Beachbody INSANITY workouts, you alternate between explosive cardio drills, power and resistance moves, and plyometrics, with some core and balance moves sprinkled in for good measure. And in theory, that's a good thing!
The problem is that in most traditional interval training workouts of this length most of the INSANITY workouts are nearly an hour long the focus is on longer periods of moderate exercise with short periods of high-intensity exercise peppered in. For instance, a traditional interval training workout might have you soft-pedaling on a bike for one minute followed by sprinting as hard as possible for 20 seconds.
This is the way we get the closest results to the lab experiments that show us how effective HIIT can be. But at what cost? To be fair, there is some solid logic behind this. Let's say that you simply go out running a few days per week at a moderate intensity or what I call "comfortably uncomfortable" without changing your intensity along the way.
As your body gets used to the intensity, you will quickly hit a plateau. Sure, you will get more efficient at running at that particular pace, but not much else will happen. Although working out in the "red zone" can have some advantages, it is really quite unnecessary for overall good health. Research has shown that exercising at a moderate intensity most days of the week results in benefits like lower blood pressure and cholesterol along with improved fitness.
So unless you really enjoy that high level of intensity, this intensity of exercise is not a good bang for your buck. Workouts range from 20 to 80 minutes. Many of the workouts follow the same basic template: including some type of high-intensity exercise for three minutes followed by 30 seconds of rest. I have to wonder if this is more of a mental workout than a physical one.
The extremely limited recovery time after such high-intensity exercise makes for ridiculously hard workouts. And with workouts this challenging, I worry that the whole program will leave users unwilling or unable to live an active lifestyle outside of their dedicated insane exercise time.
Personally, I place a lot more importance on what you can accomplish during the other 23 hours of the day when you're not sweating in front of your TV. Beachbody meal plan The program also includes a basic meal plan, which will undoubtedly help participants reach their weight loss goals. Based on the marketing for the program, INSANITY seems to focus disproportionately on weight loss as a goal as opposed to other benefits of the workouts like added strength, mobility, and improved health.
Now, losing weight due to diet changes isn't uncommon for a program that incorporates both nutrition and exercise advice.
