    No, insanity is cardio. Heavy lifting is general crossfit to actual lifting of weights.

    Insanity includes lots of body resistance moves like push-ups, squats, plyo. You can't actually consider it heavy lifting BUT when I started, I was unable to do one regular push up so there was some heavy lifting involved haha

    I love it and will actually be starting it again soon.

    When I do Insanity, my heart rate is mostly in the anaerobic state. Warm-up (first round), stretching, cool down excluded of course :)
