What is Insanity

I could write hundreds of words on this, but I'm going to try and be concise.
  • Insanity is a 60 day fitness programme whereby you copy the workouts that are on a DVD.
  • It comes with a schedule of which workouts to do on which days. You have 1 day rest each week.
  • It is primarily a cardio based workout that requires no equipment.
  • You use only your own bodyweight to workout arms and upper body (when doing push ups and similar variations).
  • It is based on interval training (which is repeated fast intense workouts, followed by slower periods of workouts), except that it uses Max Interval Training which uses long periods of intense workouts of around 5 mins and then short periods of rest for 30 seconds.
    See these chart examples:

  • You have a fitness test every 2 weeks to check your progress.
  • Workout last from 30 minutes in the first month to around an hour in the second month.
  • All the exercises are do-able, but it will take a few sessions to get familiar with them.
