Beachbody Insanity Is Like Calisthenics On Steroids

Insanity Is Insane

The home fitness program that goes by the title Insanity is appropriately named. In quick review, this program requires no equipment, is not a typical choreographed DVD program and may have you ready to drop out with the first workout, unless you enjoy the extreme. Just about the time you are ready to drop to the floor in anguish, you will learn that you have only completed the warm-up.

Are You Ready?

Maybe you have seen the infomercials on early morning television. Maybe you are ready to make that change in your life, the change that says it is time to take control. Is it time to take charge of your health and fitness and get your life back? Get back that energy and desire to get off the couch and get active again. Get past that feeling of being tired of being tired. Insanity will challenge you at an extreme level, but if you are cautious, you may be able to use this program as a beginner. Work at your own pace, listen to your body, and make it happen. You will not need any equipment other than the program itself, a DVD player, a television, a little open floor space, and your determination to succeed.

The Program

The 60 day program offered by Team Beachbody and fitness trainer Shaun T, offers to challenge you like you have never been challenged before. In about 40 minutes a day, 6 days a week, you will push yourself to your limits and feel good about doing it. Shaun T, the trainer that brings you programs like Hip Hop Abs, Rockin Body, and Insanity Asylum, pushes you to your limits while encouraging you to know what your limits are. It is almost like having a personal trainer in the room with you, every time you push the play button.

These DVDs are not your typical DVD fitness workouts where everyone in the videos is in perfect sync with the trainer and no one has a problem with the movements. You will see very fit people dropping to the floor from exhaustion, and others being sent off the floor to take a break. This is a tough program and is not for everyone.

Caution

The Insanity program from Team Beachbody is not a program for beginners, although some may attempt the program successfully by working through it at their own pace and tackling the workouts a little at a time. Beginners in fitness must be mindful that this is an extreme fitness program. Pushing yourself beyond your limits can cause injury, and challenges that may seem unattainable can lead to discouragement and a failure to reach your fitness goals.

What is included?

The Insanity workout program is offered in different package options. The standard package includes 10 workouts, a nutrition plan, calendar, fitness guide, and free online support. Ordering from a Beachbody coach rather than straight from Beachbody will get you a bonus workout DVD. Deluxe package options may add more workouts and basic items such as a cushioned mat.

Value?

This program is not the least expensive on the market for certain, but if you compare it to the cost of going to a local gym, or having to buy loads of fitness equipment, is has a good value. At the time of this review, the cost to the public is $119.85 for the standard program, and the cost to Beachbody Coaches is $89.89.

Summary Review

The Insanity fitness program is probably one of the most extreme DVD home fitness programs on the market and is not recommended for just anyone. In comparison to local gym contracts, fitness equipment, and other DVD programs, the cost is very reasonable, especially when you take into consideration the available online support system. This is a home fitness program, and if you are a person who needs to be in the company of others as a motivational tool, this program may not be for you.
