Workout Review

I'm doing my best to get myself back into shape. Last fall I started jogging a bit and have continued that on my treadmil this winter; however I needed something else because I was bored and I wanted a little strength training. For those looking for a great workout video I'd highly recommend the Insanity series. It is from the makers of P90X, but I like this a lot more. Each video is about 35-45 minutes and I'm dripping with sweat by the end of them. I feel I get a great workout in a short amount of time.

I should also add, I don't do them as instructed...i alternate a video with a day on the treadmil. My neighbor does do the whole series 6 days a week and likes it - i just need more variation, i guess

Thanks for the info. I would like to try this but my issue with working out at home is that all our rooms are carpeted- would this be easy to do on carpet?

I had a love hate relationship with P90X. It was a good workout but the time required to dedicate to each workout was my biggest complaint of that program. I am hoping to give Insanity a try once I am done BFing. It is nice to hear a positive review!

I liked Insanity! I was always able to laugh at myself while doing it because there was absolutely no way I could truly throw myself around like that...lol! I thought P90X is so much easier, I thought, but I liked Insanity...I have never sweat so much! Also, I don't think doing it on carpet was hard...worked for us!

Does Insanity require you to have any equipment or is it just body weight exercises? I'd like to do something like this but don't want to have to buy a lot of extra stuff. I think with P90x you need a pull up bar and we don't even have anywhere that one would fit with our 1920's wide woodwork trim. We tried. : (

I think carpet is fine...if you sweat a lot, it may be worth it find a cheap piece of carpet from Lowes or something to throw down and roll up when you work out. Or maybe a big towel, sheet, or something along those lines would be fine too. Ultimately if you have clean shoes, I think you'd be fine.

Insanity does not require any other equipment - it's all body weight exercises, which is awesome
