Welcome to the Get Fit Guys quick and dirty tips to get moving and shape up.

My name is Brock Armstrong and I'm the Get Fit Guy.

BeachBody's website claims that

Insanity is the hardest workout ever put on DVD.

But I gotta wonder, does that make it the best workout or even an effective one?

Well, that's what we're going to talk about in this episode. The Beach Body Insanity Program is,

well, I'd say not for the faint of heart. Invented by Sean T. This 60-day workout program is designed to push you past your limits

with cardio, pliometric drills, and intervals of strength, power, resistance, and core training.

The marketing emphasizes that no equipment or weights are needed and that you don't have to be

in extreme shape to do it. Yes, that's what it says,

extreme shape. Now, I'm not going to lie. Having tried this workout myself, I can attest that the

insanity program is definitely not for everyone. In fact, the warm upup alone is harder than many of my entire workouts.

Now, in my opinion, as a coach who's worked with hundreds of clients at this point, this is a

serious workout for people who are already very fit. With a focus on max interval training,

that may intimidate even some seasoned fitness pros, this workout

is not for someone who is new to formal fitness training, nor is it for someone who is

just building or rebuilding their fitness. So it's a tough workout. What's wrong with that? Well, the problem is that this type of maximum

intensity comes at a greater risk of injury. Along with a solid base level of fitness, you also

need to have good form and technique. And even though the video does a decent job of demonstrating

each movement, unless you have

a mirror handy or a friend who can keep an eye on your form, as fatigue sets in, your form

will suffer and pain will ensue.
