    As a rule, I stay away from any exercise with "insanity" in the title. But good luck! :wink:

    Hi I just started the Beachbody Turbofire program and I love it, it's a 90 day program. Go to beachbody.com, click on Insanity and there are hundreds of thousands of reviews on that website. Most of them use MFP to track their food as well. Good luck!

    my husband's son did the whole thing with his friends, they loved it and found it challenging, and they are pretty fit, working out at the Navy. My husband tried the fit test and will do it later, after he got some cardio with easier programs to get the stamina up.

    Insanity is a great work out video, I know lots of people who are doing it or have done it!
    I think you need a fairly high level of fitness to begin it but I am doing turbo fire which is like a step below it, pretty intense still and a great work out. I plan on doing insanity when I am finished my turbo fire.

    Check out the website

    This will show you all beach body programs! (they are the best)

    INSANITY is not for the faint at heart. You can do it as best you are able, but depending on your fitness level it may be smarter to start with something less intense. I'm pretty fit and this program kicked my butt. I wasn't able to keep up with everything they were doing in some of the DVDs. I loved to hate it and will do it again once winter rolls around.

    I also have TURBO JAM which is much easier and more geared for beginning to intermediate fitness levels.

    INSANITY has a lot of jumping so beware if you have any joint issues.

    From someone who has a lot of at home programs INSANITY, TURBO JAM, Tae-Bo, the FIRM, JILLIAN MICHAELS etc. INSANITY gave me a run for my money. I think it is by far the hardest home workout program you can do.

    insanity is fantastic , and yes it will kick your *kitten* , but i dont think anyone needs to fear it, i started it at 200 pounds on a 5 foot frame, yeah i am not great but i muddle through, wont get into the gory details but it is difficult.

    BUT shaun T really has a way of inspiring, and getting you to push yourself.

    don't laugh but I hear his voice in my head all the time now, in indoor cycling today, was really pushing my self . o and by the way it was only my second time, but was able to do everything in that class. i believe its from doing the insanity my stamina is so much increase. and when i thought i could not go on i swear i could hear Shaun T saying 'DIG DEEPER"

NO but I took my fitness test and I have improved so much...
