My Insanity Review
I have been using a number of Beachbody programs for the last year and a half, and they have all been amazing! I have been combining programs like P90X, One on One, and P90X Plus to keep me from hitting a plateau, and now I have another program to add to my collection, and I’m very excited about it! However, this workout is seperating itself from the rest, and is quickly establishing itself as the bad boy of all workouts!
I have had many customers of mine and even some coaches try it, and they all preach by the program. They all have said that it is by far the hardest program they have ever tried, even harder that P90X! I have seen some of their progress pics and really can’t believe the results they have gotten. I have one coach, Carter, who felt like he hit a plateau with P90X, so he tried Insanity, and he broke beyond that plateau and is now ripped! He asked me to put together a video of his Insanity transformation to put on YouTube, and I literally could not believe how great of results he had gotten! He had come to me before he tried Insanity and asked why he couldn’t develop his abs, but he no longer has to worry about that because he has a well-defined 6 pack. It’s really unbelievable what these people are achieving in just 60 days!
Insanity is a high intensity program in which you burn up to 1,000 cals per hour, which you usually don’t find from any other workout program. Now that is intense! When you receive the package, you will receive a book to hold the DVD’s and the Elite Nutrition Book, which helps you stay on the right track with your diet. You will also receive a calendar that shows you which Insanity workout to do for crazy results! However, I have to warn you that Insanity is a very high impact workout! You will be jumping around every which way, so if you have knee problems, I recommend trying another program.
So who is Insanity for?
- People already in decent shape looking to take their fitness to the next level.
- People looking to get rid of that stubborn layer of fat.
- People looking to tone up the abs.
- Anyone looking for a challenge!

You can rest for just a few days or 2 weeks. Really it’s up to you! If it were me, though, I would stick with just a few days. Also, you can continue taking the whey during your time off, but no need for any pre or post workout supplements.
My husband is 160lbs looking to gain muscle and just get in good shape. He’s not really looking to loose weight he is looking to gain. What is the best program for him.
Lisa, P90X would be the best program for him because it contains a balance of cardio and resistance workouts, while Insanity is mostly cardio based. Since he’s looking to gain mass, he needs to have a caloric surplus each day, which means he has to take in a ton of healthy calories! You can order P90X from this site, which will make me your coach and I’ll be here to help you through the program. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Hi Josh,
Great website by the way…very informative. This week is my first week of Insanity..so far so good. Before I was doing Insanity..my training consisted of cardio and weight training. After reading through your articles, I understand that Insanity is a great way to cut fat and get fit. But if I wanted muscle definition and a more toned look..do you suggest adding in some weight traning also? Is it safe to do Insanity AND weight training? I want to lose weight and cut fat..but I want to also be toned and have noticeable muscle definition. Please advise.
Thanks so much!
Thanks man! OK, yeah, if you’re looking to add on some muscle, you will have to add in some resistance training along with Insanity. Insanity is mostly cardio based, which is great to lose fat, but limits muscle growth. I’m actually doing Insanity with some added weight lifting. I’m adding in the P90X resistance workouts a few times per week. Also, have you made me your coach yet?

hey josh,
(great website, helps alot) idk if you were asked this but i am starting the insanity work out tomorrow and i just started taking celltech hardcore pro about a week ago, i usually run 5 miles every other day(not great but i get through all the miles) and do a hard arm work out and chest between those running days, anyways, should i completely ditch my running when i start insanity tomorrow. and is it a good idea to b taking the creatine product celltech hardcore pro while im doing insanity. im lookin to getting great abs. its my main focus. any info would help alot. thanks. adam.
@Adam. Yeah, you’re not going to want to run with Insanity because you burn enough calories! Also, you can try to take creatine while doing Insanity, but you might find that it makes you nauseated because of the intense cardio. However, that’s only what I’ve discovered! Let me know what you experience.

thanx for the bit of info. im on day 4 and its pretty good. i find myself stopping alot because my knees start to hurt alil. i dont have knee problems. is that normal to stop often this early? i find myself getting mad cause i want to do more and i kno it will take time but i wanna make sure im pushin myself hard enough. also i started jack3d today cause i had no prework out stuff to go along with my workouts. am i going in the right direction with the celltech and jack3d and amplified wheybolic extreme 60? i also take vitamins. also is it normal to not really feel too drained after the work out? i mean i wake up with sore legs and back but im mainly focusing on my abs but we havent done anything for the abs yet. idk what to expect. is there any info u can give me to help better my form or help get good results doing this. i felt more tired running 5 miles a day then i do with insanity but i also was never sore when i woke up afte running the day before. thanks for any info you can help me with. ill def make u my coach.
@Adam. If your knees are hurting you during the workout, then you need to either get them checked out or use better shoes for the impact. Also, to be honest, if you don’t feel drained after an Insanity workout, then you didn’t push yourself hard enough! Also, it sounds like you’re on the right track with your supplements.
well i dont have any knee problems lol i think i just dont have very strong legs. like ive never been able to lift a lot like my friends. but i just bought some of the new nike dynamic support so idk bout the shoes. i might have weak joins so i might needa go to a doctor or see about a brace. also when i do insanity like i push myself really hard to the point where i have to stop and i do feel drained during the work out but like 20 mins after the work out i feel fine. idk imma take ur advice and go really hard today and see how i feel after. i also added you as my coach. good job you have made a huge transfermation. thanks for the info.
@Adam. Your body is going to start to recover after the workout is done, but you’re initially going to feel exhausted.
I am on my 5th day of Insanity, I weigh 228 pounds and 5,4in tall. Is it okay to do insanity workout 3 hours before weightlifting? I normally do Insanity right after I get home from work at 5pm, rest and have dinner and hit the gym for heavy weightlifting at 8 or 9 pm.
@Jaime. If you’re going to do Insanity before your lifting routine, it’s crucial that you replenish your body of nutrients lost by taking in the Recovery Formula and also eating. If not, you might not get in a good lift because of low glycogen stores.
Josh: I’m on the recovery week of Insanity. I’ve only lost 4 lbs so far, but my frame is getting leaner. My goal was to get down from 190 to 150 but that doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen. I suck at following nutrition guidelines. Would taking a fat loss supplement cause any harm while doing Insanity?
How long are the workouts?
@Alex. The workouts are around an hour long.
@Joe. If you want great results, then you better start committing yourself to the diet! The diet is the most important part of the program and what ultimately determines how great of results you get. Also, I don’t recommend using any fat burners if that’s what you’re talking about.

My husband got his leg crushed 2 years ago. Since then he has gained some weight due to not being as mobile. Do you think he could do the P90X since he can’t put full weight on both legs???
@Jenny. It’s going to be very tough for him to do some of the workouts, especially the cardio ones, which involve a lot of jumping around. If he can’t put much weight on his legs, he might be able to only do the upper body workouts, but that’s probably it.
which one will really tone your legs? or is there a difference between the two as far as leg workouts go?
@Kayla. P90X has heavier resistance training for the legs, but you will work the legs most with Insanity.
Hey!
I just ordered Insanity off of Amazon. The package came without a booklet. Wondering if I am not receiving important info about which cd’s to attempt first or if there is an order to the cd’s.
Please help!!
Sincerely,
Allie
@Allie. You’re missing the the most important part of the program: the Nutrition Guides. The Nutrition Guide tells you what you should be eating while going through the program. Without the proper diet, you won’t get the results you want. Also, you don’t have the guide that shows you how to follow the program.
Hello, I want to start the P90X and insanity programs together but was wondering how I can fuse them togther into one workout
Well,
Dang it. I don’t know what to do then. I guess the workout is better than nothing. But I am very disappointed.
Shame on the fella that sold it without the booklet.
Thanks for responding! I’m still gonna work out and eat sensibly!!
Sincerely,
Allie
@Allie. The Beachbody Club Membership creates custom meal plans for you, which is what most of the people get when they don’t have the Nutrition Guide. Here is the link to learn more about it: http://www.iwanttogetripped.com/get-fit/club-membership/
@Mike. In the search box on the home page of this site, type in “P90X/Insanity Hybrid.”
If i add weights 3 days a week and just do insanity on the cardio days will i still loose muscle mass?
@Evans. You shouldn’t if you’re lifting.
I am sixteen and if I want to start trying on of these workouts for the first time, which do you prefer out of your collection.
@Nick. P90X!
I do have a low budget but i am willing to spend some money. So would you prefer dumbbells or workout bands
@Nick. Dumbbells.

I’m looking to get in shape .
FAST . Which DVD is best for me .
@Danielle. Really, it depends on your goals and what you enjoy doing! If you like high intensity cardio, go with Insanity, but if you like a balance of cardio and resistance, go with P90X.
Josh,
I am a 16 year old girl, 5′ 5″ and around 122. I pole vault winter/spring and run cross country in the fall. I would like to focus on my vaulting, so I need to be quick, jump high, and be strong as well. Should I do P90X with some sprinting workouts on the side, or Insanity with some added lifting?
Thanks!
Jes
haha, sorry I forgot to mention- I’ve heard and read a little about insanity asylum, would this be a good option?
Thanks again!
Jess
@Jessica. What about a P90X/Insanity hybrid? If you’re already in great shape, which it sounds like you are, that might be the thing to do.
@Jessica. Asylum and P90X2 are more sports focused, but very advanced as well. Asylum, though, doesn’t incorporate too much resistance training, which you will need with your pole vaulting.
