Insanity- Is it worth the investment?

I'm a month into the program right now, and I love it, but it is very intense. Have you tried to do any plank work? There is a lot of that involved, as well as variations on push ups, so that might be a challenge. It does come with a 60 day money back guarantee, which is part of why I decided to try it out, but you will still lose something on the investment if you return it (shipping and handling, etc.). You might be better served doing something a little less intense to start with and work your way up to Insanity. The guidline I saw on one of the fitness blogs I looked at when researching the program suggested that you be able to do 10 push ups and run a mile before attempting to do Insanity, but I have seen a lot of posts on these boards of people who have done modifications to some of the exercises and love the results. My progress pictures for the last month are in the picture on my profile, if you're interested.

I couldn't do a push up either, when I started. Now, I can, but I can't get my chest all the way down to the floor yet... but that is what Round 2 is for!!

If you COULD do all the moves from the start THEN it would be a bad investment! You could always download it for free anyways and take it from there.

There is a new programme out by Sean T who did insanity called Focus T25. These workouts are only 25 minutes long.

It's worth it because you can modify as you go. You'll never outgrow/outfit the workouts. Best wishes!

I can run a mile but I seem to have next to no upper body strength. Hmmmm... might have to look into something like 30DS

^^^ I did 30DS first - it really helped me build my shoulder strength and do more than 2 push-ups!! Now I am about to finish Week 2 of Insanity and even tho it is tough (I cant always keep up), its great because you can build up over the weeks how much you can handle. I am already experiencing improvements which I will get to see when I do the fit test this weekend!

Hey guys!
Sorry I'm sure this thread has been posted hundreds of times... but I need advice.
The Insanity program is pretty expensive, I can afford it but I would have to make a huge commitment to it and I don't want to waste my money. Part of me is thinking that the price will ensure that I follow the plan- because I'll have the waste of money in the back of my mind, but I'm still concerned.
I looked at trying it out online but I can't find any downloads or demos.
Also, I do workout at home a little but I wanted to know people's experiences with Insanity. Is it for me? Is it for everyone? I can't even do a push up right now (which is my dream NSV)- should I avoid it for that reason, or do it exactly for that reason?
I'm aware it won't be easy, but I don't want to waste my money either...
Help!!

Insanity is a great program that can be use by beginner and even more advance people. Even if you can't do any push-up, you can always modify every moves to make them easier. Can't do a push-up? Drop on you knees! Everybody can do knee push-up. It is always well worth buying the program instead of getting a pirated copy, the main reason is that you will get the nutrition plan with it, as opposed to most pirated copy where you will only have the dvd. Also if your dvds stop working, Beachbody will send you new one for free.

Also when you buy a Beachbody product, you can choose a coach and get support from him and his team through your journey and if you have any problems with your programs or anything else, your coach is always there to help you.

Beachbody has a lot of great programs to choose from, depending on your taste and what kind of workouts you like, you have a lot of programs there for you. Insanity is a great program, but it is an extreme one meant to deliver great results in only 60 days. There are other program less extreme that will also give you great results but with different style like TurboFire, P90X, etc...

I would just do it. I train several women in a group setting. When they come to me most of them can't do pushups. By the time we get through the first month they are able to do 100. Don't let the fact that you can't do all of it today affect your decision; you can't get there if you don't just hit the play button the DVD and go for it.

I found mine on a local Facebook sale page. I just posted 'wanted' and I got it from a woman for $80. I'm sure there are hundreds of people out there that bought the program, do the fit test and the first workout and never did it again! Check Craigslist. I got scammed on eBay, so be careful if you try there.

With that being said. It's hard! It's intense, insane ... But you can do it at your own pace, so you can do it. It's a lot of sweating, and that's just the warm up!!! Watch a few videos on YouTube to see if it's something you would do for 63 days if you invest the money!
