It works, its tough, and you'll love yourself for doing it
INITIAL REVIEW: Near end of Week 2 and the program has changed me physically already (I am doing Insanity coupled with a weight-lifting routine). It is extremely hard - although I can now complete the warm-ups without stopping, I still can't keep pace with the people on the DVD and have to stop very, very frequently and can't even complete some of the moves more than 2 or 3 times. Actually, there are some moves that I can't even do once without stopping the DVD to catch my breath. I realize I haven't even gotten to the hard part (Week 6 onwards). I am, however, now very inspired to change other things in my life. Knowing that you have to wake up to do an insanely difficult exercise routine every day catalyzes a lot of changes - ranging from what you are willing to eat, how much sleep you need, how many beers you'll have - and how often you'll weigh yourself! Already lost one belt notch and have gotten gasps at change in physique. Will provide more updates. If this program wasn't so hard, it wouldn't be so inspiring. Can you imagine the importance of proving to yourself you can do something you didn't think was possible? That's what I'm going for. This wouldn't work if it was called "Kinda Tough" instead of "Insanity."UPDATE: Halfway through Week 4. Super inspiring and exciting to be doing this program. Can now get through the warmups almost at the pace of the people on the DVD (during warm up only!) - this is a huge improvement over when I first started, but I still need to stop DVD during the rest of the workout to catch my breath (usually 5-6 times per DVD for 60-90 seconds each). Still there has been progress! Can't believe I wrote in my first update above that "can't even complete some of the moves more than 2 or 3 times" - that's not the case at all anymore. I can do all the moves, albeit much more slowly than the people on the video. Emergence of a six pack starting - or I can at least see where that six pack will be! Resting heart rate has dropped significantly to levels that are considered very athletic for my age group. Although I'm getting more fit, the program feels harder than ever - probably because I was so far from keeping up with the pace during the first few weeks that I wasn't even close to doing the real workout (and still am not). Core muscles developing in a way they have never done before. Please note I am pairing Insanity with lifting (upper body) 2-3 times/week - pretty easy to do because I don't feel these muscles are drained too much by the workout. That may be, in part, because I can't do good enough push ups during Insanity - I just can't keep up aerobically - so my upper body doesn't get the full workout of the people on the DVD. I had been supplementing Insanity with other lower body workouts (weights, running, elliptical) - had to eliminate all of those because leg muscles simply could not recover fast enough. I also throw in yoga 1-2x a week on top of Insanity. The intensity of exercise program is leading to all sorts of other diet/lifestyle changes - simply don't have the same cravings for pasta or pizza or carbs anymore. Actually holding off on meeting some people that I haven't seen for a few weeks so that I can get to the end of the program and see their reactions to my new physique. Have lost about 1.5 belt notches since starting (I began Insanity with a normal BMI so was not expecting to lose a lot of belt notches). Feel much more confident. These workouts are way harder than training for the half marathon. By the way, the women on the DVD seem to outperform the men (e.g., speed, number of reps/exercise), so this is not just a program for the guys :-)UPDATE: Just started week 6, month 2. Let me just say I had no idea how hard this was going to get in month 2! In month 1, I could workout 4-6 times a week in the evenings after doing Insanity in the AM - its not that I was finding Insanity easy (I could still barely keep up) but I was recovering quickly. Month 1 is what I expected and would have made me happy if it just ended there because it's a serious accomplishment in its own right. Month 2 is completely different. I've never done a workout this hard. I can't believe I got through two days of it. I'm back to stopping the DVD 10-15 times per workout for additional rests. I feel like I need to seriously focus on pre-workout hydration and diet to get through each session. That said, I definitely feel like i'm on route to being in best shape of my life. Note: don't skip recovery week - you'll need it!UPDATE: Just started week 7, day 1. Recovered enough to start to add my weights and occassional run back into my workout. Only stopped DVD twice on Max Cardio today (which, granted is much easier for me than Max Pylo or Max Cicuit) - but wow! Never thought I would get here! I think for once someone on the DVD took a rest before me!! That said, pre-workout nutrition (and nutrition overall) has become critical. Need to eat and pre-hydrate with Gatorade 45-60 min ahead of workout - no more water or Poweade Zero. Overall I feel 10x better than before, more confident, calmer, higher energy, requiring less sleep, and less coffee. Imagine I've lost about 10 lbs of fat and have gained 15lbs of muscle (I'm not trying to lose weight and am lifting 2x a week in addition to Insanity). I now actively crave this workout. What is most "Insane" about all this? How much I have changed!UPDATE: Week 8, day 5. First workout without stopping the DVD (Max Circuit)!UPDATE: Just finished the program today. Feel amazing. Can't believe I've done this. Biggest accomplishment I've had in a while. Didn't stop DVD once in the past week. Just narrowly missed beating Chris on my last Fit Test, although my final scores now beat Tania and Chris's starting scores (which means I'm in better shape than Super Athlete Tania and Chris the Marathoner were when they started Insanity - not bad!). Overall, this has been a wild ride and a great experience. I'm stronger than I've been in a very long time, I have core muscles that I've never had before (I can do the incline sit up bench at the gym at its steepest height *with* a 35 lbs plate now, no problem), and I'm more aerobically fit than I've been since my early 20's. For instance, I have run 7 miles on my Insanity "rest days." My resting heart rate is down about 20 beats per minute and my blood pressure is down 15 points to low/normal. I was on the thin side to begin with, but I've still lost one notch on my belt. I now read exercises that are recommended in men's magazines (like "jump rope for 15 seconds and rest for 45) and they sound like an utter joke. I guess the only thing I'm worried about is what I should do next! Probably Insanity again or Asylum! Thank you, Shaun T. This was awesome. Kinda saved my life.UPDATE: Started Insanity from the beginning again, immediately after finishing the whole program. Month 1 work outs are now pretty easy for me. There are still moments when I stop to catch my breath for 3-8 seconds during Level 1/2/3 drills or Ski Abs, but that's it. The rest I just power through and mostly keep up with the team on TV and very often beat many of them. So now I've been doing Insanity in one form or another for 11 weeks. I was just told by a friend whom I haven't seen in a few months that I, literally, look 10 years younger. I've tried to convince several friends to try Insanity and may succeed in a case or two. They really need it! Probably best thing is that my dad has seen my before/after photos and transformation and is now motivated to start this own exercise routine (Thank God!). Other people now claim that I have a six pack, so I guess I can say I do!

What have ya done today to make you feel proud? Wicked good workout backed by science but ditch the cookbook that comes with it.
It's obvious by the reviews that there are sellers on Amazon selling used copies that are fake or simply copied. This actually is a high quality well-produced DVD. Buy it direct from Amazon not from a seller on Amazon who may have copied an original because by the reviews it's apparent the poor qualities ones are copied DVDs or blank DVDs. Amazon doesn't sell used ones direct so don't risk it. Stay away from used DVDs on expensive DVD purchases. Plus if it's bad quality Amazon will let you return it, used sellers usually don't.I had heard about this on the Dr. Oz show when they talked about the extreme results and had the trainer on as a guest. I'd actually heard about it long before that but ignored it due to the cost. I have enough workout DVDs I figured. However, listening to him talk, it was obvious (because there is nothing I enjoy studying more than health and weight loss) that this guy knows his stuff as far as what causes weight loss and muscle building where others usually know tidbits. Plus I liked his demeanor and training style they showed...so a friend and I both wanting it, split it.It's the best workout DVD in my collection.He knows how to do it right. Old school workouts, for example, start with stretching...very bad. That's like stretching a cold rubber band. The whole point of warming up before working out is to loosen your muscles and we now know stretching before a warm up is damaging...first thing he does is warm up, then stretch. Bravo. He is up on fitness studies.Then he goes into the science behind it. It is true that doing the same thing every day working out your body will adapt and simply not burn nearly as many calories or develop more muscles. Hence the range of DVDs and workouts. It's true that with pliometrics (incorporating jumps) you are using more of your large muscle groups and getting your heart rate up faster so you burn more calories in less time so putting some in a workout builds muscle and results in a better workout. He does it. It is also true that your body works like a car...keep your car at the same speed, even a high speed and it will burn less gas than if you vary the speed up and down. We get more fit and use more energy bringing our heart rate up AND down.So here's the thing...Based on these results, most workouts now keep your heart rate up somewhat then do a short burst of energy. He has flipped it. In this, you keep your heart rate up high in that energy peak and vary it by giving you short REST periods to bring it down.This means you quadruple the results you'd have in the same amount of time in another workout.More importantly, you work all muscle groups and need nothing more than your own body weight to build muscle.Is it extreme? yes. You HAVE to fight mental blocks that tell you you should rest. But his motivational style truly are what make you push through it.He speaks as though he sees right through you and what you are thinking at that very moment when you want to stop...and it makes you keep going. This is excellent motivation and whereas some trainers look uncomfortable in front of the camera, this trainer is totally relaxed. That helps the viewer.Worth it. It's awesome. It's based on science.Now for the cookbook....Skip it.It's written by a nutritionist and it's good in that manner. It is nutritionally complete. It is not written by a chef because of the tasteless and oft horrid meals and improper listing of ingredients.For example, if one combines a couple eggs, a scoop of whey protein powder, oatmeal, and water, one does not wind up with a pancake...One would wind up with baked eggs that taste like you added sugar and vanilla. But even if you chose to do that, there are details left out that are common in cookbooks that make the recipes confusing. Such as saying "one scoop of whey protein" Scoop sizes vary greatly so one may have twice as much as another, messing up the recipe and nutritionals. It says "oatmeal" but does not state if it's cooked or not when it goes into the eggs. Yes, I said goes into the eggs. Cough.At other times the recipe may call for "half cup whole grain cereal" but without giving more info that will also mess up the recipe and calorie count.One of the worst oversights is the one that has salmon in the recipe rather than smoked salmon and says to put it on the bagel...no cooking recipe...You should not eat raw salmon, but you can eat smoked salmon. Also it calls for one bagel but one bagel may be 500 calories or 100 calories...that should say what kind to buy even if not listing the brand name, it should say 1 200 calorie bagel, for example or the nutritionals listed can't be utilized.Also it will say things like "grill, bake, or broil the salmon then top with"... rather than telling you how to cook it and how long. There are also few protein alternative meals if you don't eat the proteins they suggest.That's not so bad but reading over the recipes makes this food lover cringe. It's great to remove salt but there are no seasonings at all in here. This is beyond bland. No herbs. No spices. Just things mixed together. Weight loss does not have to be painful. And one can make fast healthy meals that taste great.I say this because if someone hates what they eat they will not stick to a healthy food plan and by the way the recipes are written and their lack of taste (you can simply look at the recipes and you'll see what I mean. I throw out nothing but I had to ditch the oatmeal I made from a recipe--you have to work hard at ruining oatmeal.) These were written by a nutritionist rather than a healthy foods chef. Obviously. Sorry.For meals that follow the same protein, carb, healthy fat, whole grains etc I personally use the Flat Belly Diet books or cookbooks. (I have no connection to these but the food tastes amazing, I have the fastest losses ever on it, and it gives you alternatives if you don't like certain things like the proteins suggested) There is one for men and for women. I try lots of weight loss cookbooks but as a foodie, for me, those have the most flavor backed by the smartest science in losing. Don't get me wrong...these do too as far as nutrition, but if you hate what you are eating, you'll soon go back to your old ways.Thankfully the cookbook is free with your order so I don't consider it an issue when the workout is this good...and the workout is awesome.And it works.
