![]() While it’s not the easiest, it’s a welcome relief compared to what is coming. You’re given a “recovery week” to prepare for an even bigger challenge. This is done after you’ve reached the thirty day mark. Your abs will be shaking by the time it’s all over. I like Cardio Abs because it’s an intense abdominal workout without a single sit-up! Still, it’s fifteen minutes of crazy ab work, both standing up and sitting down. You will be up and down and sweating (and maybe yelling). It’s the same exercises (like push-ups, switch kicks, etc.) but without any breaks. Instead of intervals, this program (after warmup) jumps right into fifteen minutes of straight workouts. You can thank Shaun T for this much deserved “break.” Pure Cardio It’s not a cakewalk, but is “easy” compared to the rest of the Insanity DVDs. This is an “off day” workout that is focused on stretching and isometric exercises. When you hit the floor for moving push-ups and globe jumps, you’ll realize that Insanity lives up to its name. With an upper body and core focus, this forty minute workout will leave you sweating like crazy. Get ready to jump higher and strengthen your legs. With workouts like power squats and ski abs, Plyometric Cardio Circuit is a challenge. This is a great forty minute interval workout with a warmup, stretching, and two rounds of intense jumping style exercises. I’d recommend this option if you have a good internet connection and see yourself using other programs in the future. You also get a nutrition guide, a short fitness plan to get started, and a workout calendar.Īlso, you can now get Insanity with Beachbody on Demand, a streaming service which also gives you access to all their other workouts. ![]() The Insanity workouts focus on the core, but strengthen almost every muscle group. The exercises can best be described as intense cardio in the form of interval training (a few minutes of intense activity with a brief break). The Insanity package comes with ten DVDs with ten actual workouts (see individual reviews below). Whenever anyone asks me Does Insanity Work? I’m always ready to tell them “absolutely!” I started doing challenges like the Tough Mudder and Warrior Dash, training with only running and Insanity. ![]() I’d also lost those pesky seven pounds that I’d held onto for a few years. I was leaner and fitter and my muscle tone increased greatly, especially in the core and abs. ![]() I’d been a fitness buff for over fifteen years, but had never been that sore in my entire life after doing Beachbody’s Insanity.īy the end of the sixty days my body was transformed. I mean “bend down to grab a pencil and wince in pain” sore. So, I figured I’d just jump right it and master the actual program.ĭuring the first workout, my “good shape” was quickly shown to be a complete fraud! And mastering the workout? Give me a break! I finished, but was exhausted. Since I was already in good shape, I had decent results. ![]()
