I have, over the last year and a half, been throwing Insanity into my workout cycle.  It is just what I need to kick start my body after the holidays, or right after a full cycle of P90X.  I am not going to sugar coat it.  The first 30 days are BRUTAL!  Then the next 30 days DESTROY you.  If you are looking for a “never gets easy” and super effective workout routine.  This is it. 

The biggest reason I like Insanity is because I am the weight.  It is an “all you need is you” program.  [Shoes or barefoot, I now do the workouts in Vibram 5 Fingers shoes. Fantastic for HiiT training]  If you have limited space (10 X 4 is all you really need space wise. And a 8-10 foot ceiling is good.)  and no weights, you are good to go. 

You will need a towel, water, and recovery drink.  I say you need a good recovery drink because this program will crush you.  Get used to being sore.  And not just muscle burn sore.  You will be, “If I don’t get a good nights sleep tomorrow is really going to suck” sore.  You will be forced to fuel your body right, not drink, and get on a good sleep cycle.  If you don’t align everything, you will have a very hard time completing the program.

Like anything else, what you put in is what you get out.  So, put in the sweat equity.  Be prepared to leave a puddle on the floor, and be sure to clean the rug at the end of the 2 months.
