The program offers a well-rounded, full-body workout involving both cardio and strength training. All of the major muscle groups — abs , chest, glutes, legs, arms — are worked for an intense, yet satisfying routine. With pre-planned workouts to follow every day at your own time, the Insanity program meets the needs of people working from home without access to the gym.
And the intensity of the workout is definitely appealing to people who want to up their level of fitness from the comfort of home. I appreciate how the Insanity program understands when and where to insert recovery stretches, water breaks and longer cool downs at the end. The stretches still worked the muscles while simultaneously offering relief to the body parts that needed it most.
There are a lot of intense workout programs that fail to give its participants the break they need, but Insanity is not one of them. Speaking of beginners, I would say that the Insanity program is not for beginners. I think the risk for injury is just too high. Even as a fitness professional I could barely catch my breath at certain points, so starting with something a bit more low-key would be best.

To keep their weight constant with normal activity the average man needs to eat calories a day and the average woman Need a day.
Eat a day. Unless under medical supervision, it is not recommended that men reduce their calorie intake under calories a day and for women not under Most weight loss diets will allow you to lose up to 2lbs a week and that is recommended as a safe weight loss from dieting. The other way to create a greater deficit is to be more active and burn more calories. So — if you use an extra calories a day for 6 days that gives an extra deficit per week of If you also walk a bit more, use the stairs instead of the elevator and generally stay more active then it is entirely possible that you could double the normal highest expected weight loss on a diet from 2lb a week to 4lb a week.
That would be a weight loss of 32lbs in the 60 days of the Insanity routine. But in addition to that your muscles are being toned and strengthened so it is possible that you will look as though you have lost much more than that!
If your question is Does Insanity work? If you keep to any sort of genuinely healthy eating routine and perform the Insanity workouts as laid down by Shaun T regularly and as intensely as you are able then you will see real results. After that week of recovery the Insanity programme moves up a gear or several to keep you seeing the results you want.
If you look at the Insanity workout schedule you will see that you do a fit test on day 1, first day of weeks 3, 5 and 7 and on the final day. This tests how many reps of the various moves you can do and how you feel after doing it. Each time you repeat a fit test you will see an improvement — this tells you that Insanity results are happening — you are getting fitter. Most users report that they saw big results in month 2 with only small changes in month 1.
This does not mean that changes are not happening in month 1 — just that they become much more visible , both on the scales and in the mirror, in month 2. The results you get with an insanity workout are definitely real.
If you stick to healthy eating and perform all the workouts you will be fitter and slimmer and more toned at the end of 60 days. We all know about photo-shop and how pictures can be touched up , air-brushed or just completely faked! It can be very hard to tell if a photo is genuine. But remember, if you aim after results in looks then Insanity is enough.
You see, if the body is rest deprived, or overworked, then the results are not that great. There is a chapter in the ultimate insanity workout review dedicated for this question — The nature of the exercises, and the effects they have on your body. Most definitely. The thing is, you see, with all that cardio done on daily basis your abdominal fat tissue will almost disappear, hence revealing your six pack. Size depends on protein intake as well as some genetic predispositions, but a lean defined abdominal area is a given.
This is also due to the fact that almost all of the workouts target your core in one way or another, and of course one of the workouts is designed specifically to give you the hardest abs workout there is.
On one hand, some might assume that doing more of the workouts, or adding some additional activity while doing the program will help them see results even faster. You see, adding additional exercises or fitness routines while doing the Insanity program will only wear you down even more, breaking muscle tissue way more than it should, making you more prone to injury, causing you to feel fatigue, increasing your cortisol levels this makes muscle repair way slower.
But, if you add half to one hour of sleep more, or eat more protein either by increasing your meat intake or by adding some whey protein powder, or even break things down to basics such is doing less repetitions but doing them with the correct form, then you will see results way faster.
Food also helps. In fact it is more up to what you eat than anything else, so watch over your diet. So avoid eating like two hours before you hit the play button. Start learning your body and see to it that it never gets to that. However, there are some I had a similar problem couple of days who albeit being super tired are unable to fall asleep quickly. First of all, have in mind that this workout is probably the hardest thing you will do physically in your life; Having said that, the logic dictates that your body will have a hard time adapting to the change happening inside.
Among the probable causes for having a hard time falling asleep are usually doing the workout too late in the evenings, muscle soreness and lack of hydration. Doing the exercises in the evening or hour or two before you go to bed may be a problem since it will elevate your pulse, blood pressure, start a chain of chemical processes inside of your body.
Lack of hydration on the other hand is also a big problem mostly because you will never see it coming. How come? Well, you see, drinking a gallon of water after doing the workout will not help you here. Your body will already be slightly dehydrated, and it will be a while before all the water is processed and delivered where it should.
The answer here is to drink water throughout the day, and take small sips while doing the workout. You can start with the sips even before you push the play button. What drinking small amount of water on very frequent intervals does is efficiently hydrating your body. The diet plan is great if you want to see the results you are after. But have in mind that it is not the ONLY option when it comes to nutrition. Try to see it as some sort of blueprint for healthy way of eating rather than the secret formula.
You see, I never followed the exact diet plan, and still got the results I was after. Try to follow the cornerstones of diet mentioned there. Find the food sources which contain this nutritional value lean meat, fish, fruits and vegetables and make your own diet plan. Take my word for it- you will see the same results as if you were on the Insanity diet plan. Depends on your current physique.
But all in all expect nicely defined arms and shoulders, flat and sculpted chest if you are a guy, incredibly tightened abdominal area, tight but very well defined calves, and of course very tight thighs and butt mostly due to the fact that half of the exercises involve jumping and positioning yourself in squad position, doing all varieties of squads.
Definitely lowered body fat percentage too. Once you reach your goals you can back off the intensity, lower the number of days a week you train, and go into maintenance mode. It is important to understand that being fit is a lifestyle. You have to schedule exercise into your weekly routine. And its not all about looks, its about being healthy and taking care of yourself. Because I am a Beachbody Coach and have done many of their workouts, people often ask me my opinion before they make a purchase.
Insanity is a challenging workout and it takes effort to get through the workout each day. There is no magic pill or special diet that will get you results. Results come from hard work and persistence. Of course he is going to tell that it is worth it, look at the results he got. Congratulations on having such great results Jonathan.
