Are Your Workouts Insane?

I remember last year laying in bed flipping through channels on TV when I came across an infomercial that completely scared me to death. As I stated in a recent post, I love workout DVD's, however this infomercial was advertising one of the craziest workouts I had ever seen. What was this mother of all workouts? One word Insanity.

Insanity is a hardcore, high intensity workout created to help you lose weight and get ripped. The program is based on max interval training that shoots your heart rate up quickly and then brings it back down with a short rest before the next heart racing interval begins. The program takes about two months to complete and comes with 10 different workouts designed to work your whole body.

I promise you, you will be drenched in sweat at the end of each workout. Each workout takes about an hour to complete, and includes both a warm up and cool down. My first round of insanity was definitely a learning experience. Insanity requires you to learn how to control both your body's movements and energy. Insanity got me into the best shape that I had ever been in, and I highly suggest that everyone check it out. It would be a great workout with the winter months upon us.
