Deep Insanity Insight.
The most accurate and objective DVD by DVD review of Shaun T’s Insanity Workout. Learn the details of each and every single workout, from the Fit Test to the final Max Workout. A must read for all of you that are considering getting this workout and wondering what the next 60 days of your life will look like.
The INSANITY Workout is considered an extreme workout. It is not meant for beginners, or even for people at an intermediate stage.
Day 2, and you’re about to get clobbered. If you thought the Fitness Test was hard, than hold on to your hat because Plyometric Cardio Circuit will challenge you like nothing before….
As far as INSANITY workouts go, this one is tough, but not the toughest. You get thirty second water breaks between each set, and the main workout, while pretty brutal, spreads the exercises evenly between lower and upper body, so no one area gets taxed unduly…
Cardio Recovery is the workout performed once a week in order to allow your muscles and cardio engine to recover from the brutal intensity that is the INSANITY workout.
The INSANITY workout is considered by many to be the hardest workout out there, and the Pure Cardio workout might be one of the key reasons why.

That means you’ve put weeks of intense work behind you, and are ready to take a break before hitting the Max workouts that will push you to the limit for the remainder of the workout…
This is a brutal workout, and it will push you past your limits. Remember, the key to surviving any Max workout is to observe good form, and to pace yourself. Don’t burn out too early, and always listen to Shaun T when he tells you to take a break if you need. And trust me, you’re going to need it
If you’re doing this workout, you’re into your second month of INSANITY, and have already distinguished yourself the vast majority of people who fail out in their second week. You’re lean, your committed, and you’ve got your sights firmly on finishing that last day of the workout…
The Max Cardio Conditioning is like the Pure Cardio Workout in that once it gets going, it doesn’t stop till the very end. No water breaks, no pauses, nothing but full on, intense working out for the whole duration. Which, given that the workout is 48 minutes, is a brutal length of time to la
