INSANITY

I love insanity! I haven't been doing it for very long, but it is definitely addicting! If you like cardio and plyometrics, its definitely for you.

You could look on ebay or somewhere online that can sell it for cheaper than going to the beachbody site. The diet is basically a 1500 calorie diet that consists of a good ratio of carbs, lean protein, and fat. If I had to guess, it's probably around a 40/30/30 ratio, respectively. They give you some recipes to follow per meal and offer alternatives if you wanna add 100 - 200 calories per your BMR. It's not absolutely necessary to follow their nutritional plan, it's just recommended if you're unfamiliar with the healthy alternatives for food. I personally don't follow it, but my diet is similar to theirs, so it's not a big deal.

Keep in mind that Insanity isn't for anyone who's not already somewhat physically conditioned to perform such demanding routines. The very first day is a fit test. If you can get through that, then you should be ok for the rest of the first month. Shaun T. will constantly remind you to keep proper form, breathe correctly [exhale on exertion], and keep your core constantly engaged [abs flexed everytime you perform a jump, squat, push-up, burp, fart, sneeze, etc...]. Those are basically the key parts to making sure you're working the correct muscles and not in a position to injure yourself.

Should you get it, have fun. Push yourself harder each time you do the next routine. Enjoy the exhaustion. Love the pain. You will see results.

I am starting this just waiting on the DVD to arrive, can't wait . I got mine off amazon for £40 far cheaper than off the beachbody website.
