The Sequel to INSANITY also Available NOW!
-Released 4/8/11
While P90X has redefined what can be accomplished by a home exercise system, Beachbody continues to produce high quality fitness programs, with varied levels of acclaim.
INSANITY with Shaun T. now rivals rivals P90X in popularity, media buzz and most importantly — results. P90X is a 90 day program (hence the name), while INSANITY aims to put you in the best shape of your life in just 60 days. It’s also differs in that it requires no weights, resistance bands or extra equipment.

INSANITY is touted as perhaps the most difficult and effective workout program ever put on DVD. That may or may not be true, but if you’re already in decent shape, mentally focused and ready to sweat, Insanity won’t disappoint.

This is a radical program, in the best sense of the word. It centers around the concept of “MAX Interval Training” which alters traditional interval training by incorporating long bursts of maximum-intensity exercises with short periods of rest, rather than the reverse. Each routine is a non-stop challenge of alternating between aerobic and anaerobic intervals performed at or near your maximum level of output, pushing past previous barriers. The result is up to 1,000 calories burned per workout and a lean, muscular body after 60 days.
The unique approach incorporates some unconventional routines that include ski moves, football drills, basketball drills, jacks, “suicide drills”, jogging, butt kicks, mountain climbers, high knees, ski-abs and more, all with Shaun T.’s expert guidance and no exercise equipment of any kind. See the video below to get an idea of how this is accomplished.
Insanity includes 10 separate workout discs with plyometric drills and nonstop intervals of strength, power, resistance, and ab and core training.
Update 7/27/2010: As an incentive to those who are still considering trying INSANITY, Beachbody is now including an additional, never before seen workout with all purchases of either the base or deluxe INSANITY package. Fast and Furious is a new DVD from Shaun T. and cannot be purchased separately.

The package comes with four additional support tools including the Elite Nutrition Plan, a Fitness Guide with just the information you need so you spend your time working out rather than reading, the Insanity Calendar and Online Support Tools to help you stay motivated.
Beachbody believes Shaun T’s Insanity may be the best workout program of its kind. If you’re not completely satisfied for any reason, or just lack the requisite will power, you can return the product within 30 days for a full refund.

Shaun t insanity is the greatest workout i have ever seen. It surpasses P90X.
well i was thinkin bout trying this but im afaid that its going to be like all my other dvds collecting dust .. wish sean could come see me or me see him an him make me do it an push me to do it . I really so badley want to lose bout 45lbs i had twins 5yrs ago an i did good loseing some of it but over the yrs things happen an lots of stress with 4kids so its not easy inless i have a friend to do it with or someone to push me but cant afford a trainer like the stars do . if anyone else has thoughts or problems like me an have made urself do this program an it really worked for u let me kno ..
I completed INSANITY! When I started I simply couldnt get through it … but I continued to push myself and now I can do about 70-80 percent of each workout… I “do my best and forget the rest!”. My body is completely changed — literally. I can tell you that if you do it you will totally change! My wife is amazed at my body change. Now, here is the kicker, Im 54 years old and Im keeping up with the 20 year olds on the DVDs; especially that Tonya that just seems to never stop. I’ve decided that for January 2011, I will continue INSANITY for another month. However, I then plan to work muscle growth via CHAlean Extreme.
I didnt take a pic before to compare with after, but I sure would like one of those INSANITY shirts… I certainly deserve it … ughhhh because I did “DIG DEEPER!”
Good luck to all of you out there … and as Shawn might say, “Push, Push, Push… You can do it!”.
I just finished week 4 and I’m seeing a difference in my body. I feel better than I have felt in a long time and my health improved after 2 weeks. After 2 weeks my LDL cholesterol dropped by 20 points and my good cholesterol increased by 8. Insanity really works. You should try it but only if you can make yourself do it.
This exercise program is wonderful. Now I’m in my 3rd week, I am able to recognize the changes in body. I’m really with this program and highly recommend this.
I enjoy you pointing this out due to the fact I have never ever viewed like this. For that motive I could possibly point out some of your points by myself blog; I hope you’re Okay with this. Do you suppose possibly from the future we can function collectively somehow between our websites? Inform me what you assume.
