OK! Now for a review of a really tough product, the Insanity Workout review! We cannot afford to mince words here – this is a really TOUGH program! If you want to lose weight, resculpt your body, make abs, and do it in a 60 day work out while sweating a lot, this is the exercise/bodybuilding fitness program for you. That’s why it’s called “high intensity training”.

In this article I’ll explain to you how the Insanity workout works. I’ll review the product, let you know what’s in the program, what real users of the program have to say about it (besides “it’s hard!”). Let you know about the negative feedback from actual users, and then sum it all up, and let you know how and where to buy the program.

Insanity Workout Review

Really, if you don’t mind working hard, committing yourself to 30 – 45 minute workouts 6 days a week, then try the Shaun T Insanity workout program. If you want to reshape your body, sweat a lot, gain abs and muscles, then this might be the program for you. But it won’t be easy.

The Insanity workout program is called a “60-day total body conditioning program”. The big selling point for me is that you can do it at home, it’s a 10-dvd program that you watch on your tv. All you’ll need is the tv and a space big enough to work out in. You might want an exercise mat because you’ll be down on the ground a bit.

You won’t need any weights. You won’t need any equipment in the Shaun T Insanity workout program. You won’t need to go to the gym to do it. This is intense exercise routines and circuit training workout. This program was created by Shaun T, I’ll talk more about him later in this article. You have a 60 day workout and 60 day body makeover program here.

Basically, Shaun T. came up with the Insanity workout exercise program that makes use of interval training. If you haven’t heard of that before, traditional interval training is moderate exercise with 30 seconds to 1 minute at the end of an interval where you work as hard as you can.

Shaun T. uses something he calls “max interval training”. It’s kind of interval training reworked. His method makes you work as hard as you can go, then rest for 30 seconds. I was wondering about this method, but in my research I found some information that explains why this is done this way.

What this does is it forces your body to work out in an “anaerobic” state for most of the workout. It’s not the usual state that your body would work out in, but because of the intensity of the workout, it guarantees that you’ll burn a ridiculous amount of calories in a short amount of time.

Insanity workout by Beachbody says that you’ll burn off around 1,000 calories in a workout. That is insane. It can do this because it’s now working anaerobically, which means that oxygen to your muscles do not get sufficient oxygen, so your body has to resort to using other ways to get energy, forcing the metabolism to rev up. This explains why you’ll burn so many calories.

The 10 DVDs in the Insanity workout cover total body workout drills including cardio, circuit, plyometic, stretching, 60 day abs workouts, sports training and more. You’ll work the core, abs, thighs, almost all your body parts. The sports specific training will work agility, quickness and speed. The plyometric movements work your core.

OK, so I had never heard of the work “plyometric” before, so I looked it up, for those of you who also do not know. It’s a “type of exercise training designed to product fast, powerful movements, and improve the functions of the nervous system” according to Wikipedia.

This is all done with Shaun T. (and good motivational music) as your trainer on the dvds. He works right along with you, shouting out what needs to be done, and telling you “you can do it! just one more! you’re almost there!”, which is what I need, because I’m ready to stop. I need someone telling me to keep going… Read about an easier program, Chalean Extreme here.

What Will Insanity Workout Do For Me?

The Insanity workout is a 60 day program. By the end of 60 day fitness program, you will supposedly be in the best shape of your life. You’ll have abs, muscles, you’ll have lost weight or gained muscle weight. Most of the users of the Insanity workout program lost weight. But some of the guys gained weight because muscle weight is heavier. Compare this to the Tony Horton P90x workout program and you’ll find that the P90x has a more all-around type of exercise regime, more diversity than this one, but both are equally as tough.

But all of them had reshaped bodies. You really have to go to the official Insanity workout website to see the before and after pictures there. It’s pretty amazing. To see the difference in 2 months, and how peoples’ bodies are reshaped.

When you purchase the Insanity workout program, you can send in a before and after picture when you’re done with the Insanity program, and you’ll get a free “I earned it” t-shirt. So you get to see those pictures on the website. There’s also almost 1500 reviews from users (!), and they’ve given 4.8 out of 5 stars for the program.

I am not always a believer of the reviews on the official websites, so I went searching for other reviews elsewhere. Even on Amazon, this workout product got 4.4 out of 5 stars with 537 customer reviews. But don’t get me wrong. Every single one of them said that this was a hard workout.

Who’s Shaun T?

Shaun T was a former track star who now trains celebrities (and us regular guys). He was also trained in dance and has a BS in Sports Science, and a minor in Theater and Dance. You can really see where the dance comes in in the videos, because he moves really well, and his routines are well-choreographed.

Shaun T has many workout programs under his belt, including Hip Hop Abs, Rockin Body, and has also done the sequel to Insanity, Insanity Asylum. That’s really the next step after Insanity.

What’s Included In The Insanity Program?

You’ll get the 10-DVD set in the Insanity workout program, starting at 30 minutes, and up to 1 hr., 25 minutes long. You’ll also get the Elite Nutrition Plan, which has plans for eating that go along with the program, for keeping balance while you exercise. Users say these are easy, quick, and cheap recipes and plans for eating.

You’ll have a schedule for a 60 day program with 60 day plans, along with a 60 day diet program. It’s all done in 60 days. All the tools, including worksheets, you’ll get here are geared around this l60 days, so follow it for 2 months, and if you can, then you’ll be in great shape.

There’s a fitness guide, support tools online, and the Insanity workout calendar. The calendar you’ll really need because it will help you remember where you are, and make it easier to track your progress. This will help to keep you motivated. With this there’s also a Fit Test Tracker that tracks your results so you can keep track of how your body changes.

What Do Real Users Have to Say?

I went to other places besides the official website for these, since I didn’t want testimonials to be biased.

“Today is day 59 of Insanity. Wow. I can’t believe I have almost made it through the first round. I weighed myself today, and I am down 21.8 pounds. My old pants are falling off me–literally.” Storylover – Amazon.com

“I’m halfway through the program— getting ready for month 2/my recovery week. I am 5 lbs lighter, and my body is just getting more and more toned and gorgeous. I love the feeling of being able to throw on a bikini.” LittleBakerGirl – Amazon.com

“This is the best workout program I have ever done! I love this interal training because it pushes you harder than you thought possible. I never thought I could do so much while in so much pain . The results are amazing.” KarateMom – Extremefitnessresults.com

Any Negative Feedback?

More than one user said that they were frustrated with the loss of muscle size initially. But then one user found that they hadn’t been taking in enough calories, and when they did, then that’s when the body fat reduction started, and the muscle building kicked in.

Also, lots of users said that they were hungry ALL the time, and had to make sure that they kept their energy up with protein. And they had to make sure that they ate enough. You will need more calories than you’re used to with this program. Shaun T says this, too, be sure to keep up the energy drinks, and LOTS of water.

Summary

First of all, Insanity workout program comes with a 30-day money back guarantee. They’ll give you a full refund back, minus the shipping and handling if you aren’t satisfied with your results by 30 days.

Secondly, there are a couple of different places to buy Insanity. One is from Amazon. I looked around at different prices, expecting Amazon to be the cheapest, since it usually is. But this time it wasn’t. It was about $145 on Amazon, and you can get it for about $25 less on the official website, and get the full refund guarantee.
