    It is an amazing workout!! It kicked my butt! If you have been exercising for awhile this is a great way to ramp it up.. but if you are new to exercise this is not the place to start. I burned anywhere from 400 - 600 calories per workout. It is no joke! Message me if you want more info- I would be happy to answer any other questions you ahve.

    It's the best video workout I've ever done. Now if I do any other video, I'm bored and feel useless. Any activity is good, but insanity is truly the best. Great cardio and strengthens your legs, arms, and stomach. It kicks my butt every time but I love it. It's definitely worth purchasing.

    Is it recommended to do it every day? Or is it the type of thing you might do a couple of times a week and do something like 30 Day Shred on off days? I really want to try it, but I'm a little scared! haha

    It comes with several DVDs and a schedule so you know which ones to do on each day. There is a recovery week built in so your body has time to heal and get stronger. Not like 30 DS--You are pushing yourself harder and longer each day.

    Insanity is amazing. Great cardio and it goes by fast because you are constantly moving! Plus shaun T is just awesome high energy. They give you a routine to follow. You go 6 days on and off one day.

    I do 5 days insanity and on the recovery day ( which is normally wed or thursday) i do weight training and stretching instead of the recovery dvd. It will always be a good work out, it'll get easier in the way that you'll move quicker things like 1-2-3 ( those were hard for me to catch on to) you'll be able to do. I always feel pumped when done and you'll always be sweating =)

    I think they are worth it! They have a fit test that you take a few times during the DVD and you'll see the difference when you compare your 1st fit test to you 2nd 3rd.. so on. =)

    it's an amazing workout. I was burning over 700 calories sometimes (I used me HRM)

    I did however, injure my toe from it and I am still recovering, but when I get better, I want to do it again! It's a great workout!

    My sister bought it from Craig's List for $30 then gave me a copy.

    Check out CL, I've gotten all my sets from there all original and sealed;

    Turbo Jam $15 retail $75
    Turbo Fire $40 retail $140 (bonus set)
    ChaLean Extreme $25 retail $150
    JM's 30 Day Shred - free copy from my sister
    -
    Turbo Jam is still my all-time favourite.

    I lost weight and got stronger. Actually had to put on weight during insanity because I lost too much. It's intense and addicting. Completely worth the cost.
