Insanity!!!

 
Insanity
Length: 63 day Cardio based program
Developer: Shaun-T
Science: Max Interval Training
Equipment: None, but your body

So this summer I underwent the workout program program of Insanity, 63 days of pure non-stop madness. Developed by former track-star and choreographer Shaun-T, Insanity will have you dripping in you own puddle of sweat within the first five minutes and have you begging for a water break.

The secret to Shaun-T's workout program is Max Interval training.  It is a rigorous cardio based workout that flips traditional interval training upside down, where instead of taking long amounts of regulated exercise and completing a short amount of high-intensity exercises, instead you do long amounts of high-intensity exercises followed by short moments of breath.  This constant and consistent amount of intense jumping, running in place, push ups, and balance exercises will cut your fat like butter.

I will not lie this program is extremely hard, and will take time to gain the ability to keep up with the exercises, but once you finish the 63-days you will be in the best shape of your life.  You must have some physical capability to be able to do the exercises.  This program takes commitment throughout the whole 63-days, but if you are able to push yourself through it with some help from Shaun-T, you will look great, and not be disappointed with your results.

Pros:

Great fat-cutter
Encouraging Trainer
Convenient
  • Insanity is an extremely convenient plan, while moving houses over the summer I was able to go    through it without missing a single day, doing the workouts within my own room.
  • Only takes one hour out of your day 6 days a week
Cons:
Commitment
  • Being able to stick with the program will be the hardest part.  If you want it, you just got to do it! 
High Intensity
  • At times you may feel that you are even pushing yourself too hard, to the point of exhaustion.  At one point are started getting dizzy and light-headed during an exercise, and had to pause for a couple of minutes. Remember not to strain yourself too much, you want to continue to do this everyday.  Insanity is extremely hard, you want to push yourself to your limits, but not seriously injure yourself.
