I think the risk for injury is just too high. If you haven’t worked out in a while or are just looking to get started, I wouldn’t jump right into this particular workout. Speaking of beginners, I would say that the Insanity program is not for beginners. I was also thirsty! We took water breaks during the workout, but I had sweat so much that I still felt a bit dehydrated by the end. Like most challenging workouts, I felt really accomplished afterward. I kept asking myself, “When is this going to be over?”

But the people behind him were just as energized as he was, so I thought, “If they can do it, so can I!” I was dripping with sweat by the time we got to the cool down and stretch. Of course, Shaun T is ripped and his energy is out of this world, even while working out. But the people working out behind Shaun T motivated me to keep going. I was squat jumping and planking and doing burpees until the cows came home (at least that’s what it felt like). The rest of the workout alternated between cardio and strength training. I really focused on big exhales to maintain my breathing. I was sweating within five minutes and could barely catch my breath. Before I knew it, I was jumping and kicking and shuffling side to side throughout my apartment. but my enjoyment didn’t last for very long. I definitely felt my heart racing and I enjoyed the upbeat start.

The first workout I tried was very intense.

However, for people really interested in doing the whole program, the “fit test” helps determine your fitness level and plays an essential role in determining the intensity of the workouts to come. For the purpose of reviewing the program, I only tried a couple of classes, and I skipped the first workout they recommended - the “fit test” - because I really wanted to jump right into the intense workouts. Being someone who is very active (and works in the fitness industry!) I was curious just how “intense” the workout would be for me.

My current exercise routine includes: playing tennis three days a week, strength training three days a week and doing yoga and Pilates routines. After signing up for the program, I received a calendar detailing my upcoming workouts.
