Hi everyone,

I hope to get some awesome advice from you all. I have Insanity completed 1 round of it. Lately, I've been considering either getting Insanity deluxe workout dvd's, or just saving the money and get Asylum, or do both. I just need to know what is the best way to go in your opionion and what your thoughts are? Thanks in advance for your input.;)

Insanity deluxe has three workouts: 1. Max Interval Sports Training 2. Insane Abs and 3. Upper Body Weight Training. . Max Interval Sports Training is one of my favorite workouts. Upper Body Weight Training is a good upper body only weight workout. The pace of this workout is very fast!

I received Asylum for my BD and I am loving it. The Asylum workouts - 'Vertical Plyo', and 'Speed and Agility' are sports inspired. 'Game Day' is a tough, fun workout. Throughout the workout you do exercises that are inspired by various sports- tennis, basketball, football, swimming etc. These workouts use an agility ladder and a jump rope. I find the use of the ladder to be challenging and fun!

The 'Strength' workout is also very good. Options and modifications are shown for most of the exercises. Within each exercise cycle Shaun T layers on the difficulty. I use a chin up bar for some of back/core exercises (modifications without the bar are demonstrated) and the climbing move on the chin up bar is quite challenging. I can do chinups without problems but add on the climbing and hand exchanges and I can only do about 4 at a time. The 'Back To Core' Workout is a good backside of the body ( ie back, hamstrings workout.

With everything that I have said, my recommendation would be to get 'Asylum' rather than the deluxe set of Insanity. Everything that you would get in the deluxe Insanity workouts is contained in Asylum.

I hope you love Asylum as much as I do. (I also loved Insanity. It sent my cardio endurance through the roof and my resting heart rate dropped into the low 30s).

Thanks Regina,

I really appreciate your taking the time to answer my question and offer your opinions. I too, loved Insanity and think Asylum looks fun too! I think I will definitely order Asylum, I'll just save the money and not get the deluxe insanity workouts and just go with Asylum instead. Thanks again:)

I agree with Regina. As much as I liked the Deluxe package, you are better off getting Asylum. You get more DVDs, and you get the jump rope and agility ladder. Asylum is harder than the Deluxe package, but as much as I like Max Interval Sports Training...I thought Shaun T took too many long breaks. Game Day moves faster. I liked the Upper Body Strength workout too, but I like the Asylum Strength better. I just think you will find more uses with Asylum than the Deluxe package.

Good Luck!!
