Too many people think that the Insanity Workout is all about going 110% and little more. They think that if you throw yourself into the workouts, no matter what order or how you’re eating, you’ll get results. That all is needed is effort and will power, and that smarts and planning or irrelevant. Well, as you’ve no doubt guessed, those people are dead wrong. They need to realize that without following the Nutrition Plan you’ll never get the results you needed, and that the Calendar is the secret to unlocking the power of the program.
There is only one way that the Insanity workouts will help you achieve a total body transformation, and that’s if you follow the Nutrition program to the ‘T’. Why? Is it not enough to just workout really hard and burn calories? No, it’s not. Because you need to not only be getting the right amount of calories so that what you’re burning off is the correct amount to let you lose weight, but you also need to be retraining enough calories so that you are able to keep your energy levels up and ready to take on each workout with full force. Further, if you are eating junk food or non-Nutrtion Plan approved food items, then you will be loading your body down with poor nutrition, and making it that much harder to lose weight and keep your energy levels up. So follow that Nutrition Plan as if your success depended on it–because it does!
Further, the order in which you do the Insanity Workouts is absolutely crucial for your success. Shaun T designed this program with a very specific order in mind, so that your benefits are maximized and your progress is stable and steady. Not knowing when to plug in the Recovery DVD or doing the wrong workouts back to back can result in not only burn out but frustration, over exhaustion and even injury. That’s why it’s crucial to follow the Insanity Workout Calendar exactly as stated, so ensure that you get the best possible results from the workout.
So there you have it folks. It’s not enough to just borrow the DVD’s from a friend and do your best to figure out what to eat and what order to play them. You have to be smart and follow the program as it was designed, or you’re liable to end up injured and frustrated.
Thank you so much for putting this in writing! I know a lot of people that are doing Insanity but they jump around with the workouts and never do them in any order. Any time I’d say anything they would all have the same answer…”it doesn’t matter. You still get the workout in.” !!! Now I have something solid to back me!!!! Thank you!!!!
