Want to know what kind of workouts Insanity has? Here's a list!

These are not for beginners. According to Shaun T, some of the cardio workouts are the same as running over 10 miles! If you have completed another Beachbody workout and are ready to take your fitness to the next level, then Insanity is for you.

If you are new to working out, we can help you build a plan to get you ready for Insanity.

Month One DVD
Plyometric Cardio Circuit 40min
Pure Cardio 40min
Cardio Power & Resistance 40 min
Cardio Recovery 35 min
Cardio Abs 20 min
Core Cardio & Balance 40min
Month Two DVD
Max interval circuit 60min
Max Cardio Conditioning 50min
Max interval plyometrics 55min
Max recovery 50min

workout descriptions:

Dig Deeper & Fit Test - To start, Shaun will put your body to the test and see what you're made of.
Plyometric Cardio Circuit - Burn fat with intervals of intense lower-body plyo and sweat-inducing cardio.
Cardio Power & Resistance - Build lean muscle and upper-body definition with strength-training and power moves.
Cardio Recovery - Shaun goes easier on you once a week so you're ready for the next round.
Pure Cardio & Abs - Skip the intervals—this nonstop cardio workout is all extreme.
Cardio Abs - Do explosive intervals of cardio and core moves for rock-hard abs.
Core Cardio & Balance - Take a break after month 1 and gear up for month 2 with this workout.
Max Interval Circuit - The interval circuit that's more intense than anything you've ever done before.
Max Interval Plyo - Push your legs 'til they beg for mercy with power and plyo, all at your MAX.
Max Cardio Conditioning & Abs - Get pushed to your limit with this extreme cardio workout.

The Deluxe version comes with three extra workouts, and there is also a Deluxe Recovery version that includes a 60-day supply of Results and Recovery Formula

I'm coach Christy (afteracup), and I ordered Insanity yesterday! I got the deluxe version with the extra workouts and express shipping. I was just a little excited emoticon

I'm actually a little nervous about doing intense cardio! I have been doing Chalean Extreme since January, which I loved, but with a recent move I neglected the cardio portion and was just doing the weightlifting workouts. I know that I am not in as good of cardio condition as I was a few months ago. But I'm willing to work to my max, and Shaun T says that if we do, after 60 days we will absolutely be in our best shape yet!

I actually started my journey with Beachbody way back in 2003 after having my first baby. My husband is in the Navy and we were stationed in Japan, and there weren't many options for me for exercise. I started Power90 and lost all the baby weight in just a few months. I kind of forgot about Beachbody after that.

It wasn't until after my third baby that I came back to Beachbody. I had broken my ankle when I was six months pregnant (ever see a pregnant woman on crutches? not a pretty sight), and I packed on the weight. 70 pounds. And all I did after having the baby was gain 10 more! I tried and tried to get to the gym, and last year when my husband was deployed to Iraq and I was home alone with three kids, I realized that I needed a workout I could do at home and that I LOVED.

I started with Slim in 6, then Turbo Jam, then Chalean Extreme. I got active on the message boards, and I haven't left since! This is such a great way to get motivation, accountability and encouragement!

Did you know that when Carl Daikeler (the CEO of Beachbody) first heard that Shaun T was interested in developing Insanity, Carl said no! He thought of Shaun T as "the dance guy" and wanted someone serious for Insanity.

But Shaun T is a former track and field athlete, and he brought that background into the development of Insanity. He uses Max Interval Training, the same method that is used by pro athletes and those training for the Olympics.

It took just one demo video for Carl to be convinced that Shaun T was the right trainer for Insanity!

My deluxe order is also on its way!!! It also went out with next day air but is supposed to arrive by July 21st? That makes perfect sense!!!



Gee wiz Shaun, get off the ground!

When my husband and I did the fit test yesterday, the man hit his head on the CEILING. He's in too good of shape. He's not allowed to do Insanity with me. He has to go do P90X and try to gain some weight emoticon

Still waiting on my shipment.. it is in Hoskins, IL atm...

First thing this morning I did Plyo X.. just to see if I could still keep up.. (I've backed off of P90X after I did 2 rounds).. if Insanity is tougher than that.. I'm going to have a difficult time to say the least.. I finished plyo.. but it was not a cake walk.

I just can't wait to get started!!!

I bet you will do great! Since the point is to work to our MAX, it should never be easy!

Maybe it'll arrive tomorrow...

THE NUTRITION (repost from the old thread)

I just got finished reading the nutrition guide, and I have to say, among P90X, CE and Insanity, this is definitely my favorite nutrition plan! It doesn't seem like it'll be hard to modify for personal tastes at all, especially with the substitutions in the back.

For those who don't yet have it, it's a list of 300-calorie meals with directions on turning each meal into a 400 or 500 -calorie one. There are 5 lists with 10 meals each, and you're supposed to choose one meal from each list each day. There's also an extra list of 100 and 200 calorie additions, and they authorize you to use Michi's ladder.

Christy...

It is nice to have an Official Insanity Home!!!

I am working pretty hard to find/modify the meals to meet my finicky tastes. :-)

Hopefully someone will start a recipes thread where people create their own recipes that follow the same format as the Insanity meals in the Elite Nutrition book. I know that type of thread is in the P90X forum and is very popular.

I'm sure as we all get a few weeks into it we'll find new recipes that meet the requirements. For now, we can post them here, and once we start to get a good collection we can start our own recipe thread emoticon

He hit his head on the ceiling? I got ready to say "Rich regularly banged into the ceiling doing the X -plyo got funny at times!" I don't think he hit his head though.

Your husband hit his HEAD into the ceiling?

OUCH! He would rock INSANITY but..the X is the better fit I would think. Can you guys still work out together somehow or is life too complicated then?
