Insanity Vs Jillian

I have one week left of Insanity and I love it! I am no poster child for the program, but I feel so much better and I know I am way more toned than before. I feel so accomplished after completing each and every workout!

I am almost complete with INSANITY and it is a really intense program. You really have to push yourself to get results and finish the program. My girlfriend likes the Jillian Michaels DVDs and have tried INSANITY and hates it. But I think it is more of her needing to get in shape by finishing the Jilian Micheals before going into the INSANITY. You should be ready if you have made it through and are comfortable with the Jilian Micheals. If you are still struggling however, I'd say just milk the Jilian Micheals a little longer. You should continue to see results. Good Luck!

ummm slight diffence in workouts here...
jillian is a gentle walk or insanity is a run for you life as you are being chased by zombies! :noway:

How long is the insanity dvd? I'm looking for a new one too, but can't do much past 30mins since I do it when my kids nap. Thanks

It is a set of DVDs which range from 30-86 minutes according to the beachbody website. Feel free to message me w/ any other questions.

i have Jilan right now and afterwards i plan to do insanity.!!! im a lilo scared of insanity but i want it. i did noticed that they use aq lot of the same excerises in certian videos so many i can handle it

Both are great workouts. I completed Insanity late last year but still incorporate my favorite workouts every once in a while. Along with Jillian. If you want to move on to an advanced cardio program I would do Insanity. Your endurance will increase tremendously. I still work with Jillian b/c she has strength exercises which I think are equally important in any workout program and it's a great quick workout. I also recommend Shaun T.'s Insanity upper body workout is fantastic!

Never done Jillian, but insanity is a fat shredder... most workouts the first month are about 40 mins (with one close to an hour when you add abs). Second month, they are all about and hour with one about 77 with abs.

If you only have 1/2 an hour they might not work for you-- are you interested in cardio only-- if not-- I use another BB vid half- hour power hour --when I am in a time crunch - the routines are pretty good workouts for 1/2 hour-- it has different 1/2 routines for legs, rear, arms and such.

Right now I do the 30DS while my boys nap and I try to go for a 5k jog 3x a week in the evening. Most of the time I push the boys in a double jogging stroller but with weather changing I'm looking into different things. Insanity might not be something that will work well for me right now:mad: What is a BB video?

Insanity will get you into better shape. It's a lot higher intensity than Jillian's 30DS. That being said it also can take a toll on your knees and ankles, so if you have weaknesses in them it might be better to start with 30DS.
