A Woman’s Review: Insanity Workout Vs. PMS

Does Insanity Workout Trainer Shaun T Have The Goods?

Just yesterday (Feb 24th, 2010) Shaun T was on the Tyra Banks Show promoting the workout. He talks about the workout, demonstrates some moves, and even gets to have Tyra feel up his booty 😉
Articles on Insanity
A lot of excellent info is out there, written up in articles and just waiting to be read. Here we’ll round up the best for you:
“The classic question. Tony Horton and his vaunted P90X system, or Shaun T and his truly daunting INSANITY workout? Both are touted as super intense, only for conditioned athletes. Both are guaranteed to give you startling results if you follow their guidelines closely. But how to choose?“
Insanity Workout Vs. P90X – Which One is Tougher?
“On one side you have Shaun T and his INSANITY crew, leaping and lunging and sweating and doing football drills non-stop in their basketball gym. On the other side you have Tony Horton and his test group, drilling each muscle group at a brutal rate, practicing kempo and yoga, lifting weights and doing pull ups. Both are billed as extreme, both are said to be the most intense work out ever put on DVD-but which is really the toughest? If you want the ultimate challenge, which should you do?“
Just How Hard is the Insanity Fitness Test?
“Insanity delivers extreme results as your body is forced far out of its comfort zone and asked to perform at a level that is the equivalent of red lining a car. Does this sound right for everybody? Of course not, which is why INSANITY is marketed only for advanced athletes. But how do you know if you’re an ‘advanced athlete’? The INSANITY Fitness test is the answer.“
How to CHEAT at Shaun T’s Insanity
“”Wah wah wah,” everybody cries. “The INSANITY workout is too tough. INSANITY chewed me up and spat me out a broken shell of a man.” Oh, come on. Anybody can do INSANITY, and I’m going to tell you how. It’s true, fine, I’ll concede that if you do INSANITY in the manner that Shaun T expects, you’ll probably look like road kill by the end of the workout. But who says you have to do it that way? Here’s how to get through the sixty days of INSANITY without even breaking a sweat.”
Will the Insanity Workout Break You?
“It’s a simple fact that everybody who begins to work out over estimates their capabilities. Practiced, professional athletes can gauge their levels of preparedness, while rank novices always think they are more advanced, knowledgeable and talented than they really are. The end result is injury, burn out, dejection, and scores of novices quitting before they’re a couple of months in.”
So there you go. Articles, a ton of reviews, twitter accounts, and more. Enjoy, and don’t hesitate to ask questions!
I just started seeing the Insanity infommercials. I can’t afford that one or P90X but both look like awesome workouts to me! I am sure either would be a major challenge for me!
