Why Insanity?

Basically this should sum things up and help to explain why Insanity is king of the hill when it comes to straight out of the box, get you in shape and ready for other workouts in the future....

Insanity is a gateway exercise! I'm a firm believer of this as once you start insanity you get hooked... much like other exercises but with insanity.. you go just a little bit crazy!!! this should explain why you should run insanity over another program first...

Think of a car.. you want to improve this car and you have a few options to choose from.. you can replace the tires... maybe upgrade the steering... maybe even get a body kit for it... so on the outside it looks pretty good! but lets imagine this for a minute.. we want to go fast right? how about we upgrade the engine instead? OK so we have a 4 cyl engine in it right now lets say in 60 days we do something insane and upgrade this engine to a v8... maybe if we have some luck we might even be able to toss a supercharger onto it as well... so at the end of the 60 days.. when we decide to change the tires and put the body kit on... upgrade the steering.. those other changes will help to improve this car.. but that engine upgrade really made the difference that we needed.. now.. it goes faster and longer.. and with the smaller upgrades it looks good and handles well too! :-P

insanity is a heavy cardio workout.. most people wear out during workouts due to cardio issues.. yea you can work a specific muscle group (change the tires) and it will add some slight improvement... but over all your body can only handle what your cardio is going to allow.. if you want an improvement you can see and effect when you make those other little changes then the engine is the piece we gotta upgrade first.. and you are already in the shop turning those bolts, just keep on it.... besides.. what good is it to put racing tires on a moped?

so as you can see... what i was trying to say.. if we work other places.. say we choose to work our abs first, because we all have that muffin top we just HATE. simply doing the abs workout isn't going to be enough.. you need something life changing... something that will really stick with you... getting your cardio amped up and your mind in focus to work out for 60 days straight at this intensity is purely... INSANE... hence the name.. but it will effect you long after you have finished the program.... being physically fit is more than staring at a TV screen for a month or so every 6mths cause you notice your getting a little thick in the middle... so when i say you need to go INSANE for a little while.. it's only because when you come back to sanity... you will be a new person.. and thinking like a healthy person who wants to stay that way!
