I have done a round of Insanity. Awesome program. Extremely tough and I'm not just saying that. Even though it doesn't use any weights, I got my leanest and most toned from that workout. If you're looking for more cardio, I would recommend Turbo Fire as well. I used that in combination with STS and got amazing results. It's probably the most enjoyable workout I've done. Tons of fun, tons of energy and it is definitely challenging.
Hi,
I've completed 1 rotation of Insanity, Turbo Fire, P90X and 2 of STS. I've currently doing a hybrid rotation of P90X and Insanity and I added in Kettlebells as well, and I'm loving it. I will tell you that Insanity is the toughest cardio workout out there and it will push you to puke status, so don't eat before you do it. Also, it is high impact and does force you to use your own body weight for moves that are intense but with no equipment. I know I was cocky before I started Insanity thinking how tough could it be? There is no equipment? LOL!! Boy did I ever regret that thinking. I really loved insanity but I did modify where I needed to per my own knee issues. I did all the moves but kept my knees soft and did the impact but didn't jump as high as they did on the dvd. I listened to my body and did the best I could on that given day, but still pushing myself out of my comfort zone, you will need to dig deep, but it is doable and when you do it, you will feel like your just won a gold medal. My recommendations for insanity definitely have good crosstraining shoes, modify as needed if you need to, Listen to your body, and keep lots of water on hand a towel to wipe your face and the buckets of sweat off the floor. Insanity is just that but what it can do for you is amazing, so have fun get fit, and be ready to get Insane!
Hugs!
