I’ve done t25 (purchased after reading your review on it, which of course I loved!) Huge article! Truthfully, I am anxiously awaiting your Chalene Extreme review as I am just wrapping up week one :-) I have determined Shaun T is my favorite trainer and I was very excited to see your review of Insanity Max 30. It would be great if it’s less than 30 minutes as I’m also busy with work and kid. Most is optional and you can modify. You will max out quick so don’t beat yourself up about it. About to finish another round of Max 30 and am looking for another program. Just did Max Out Cardio for the first time. I’m not sure if this or Max Out Sweat is the hardest of the pack but that’s like saying being mauled by a bear is preferable to being eaten by a tiger. Does this program sound good? Ruthless is good if you are short on time or want maintenance workouts. Love your reviews! Despite your review making me a bit anxious going to start Max:30 straight afterwards, looking forward to it, the Beta cycle of T25 is still tough but I am nailing most workouts now. 30 minutes and it’s probably harder than Insanity too! I am 5'9, I weigh 166 pounds, I eat around 1850 calories per week and plus 100 or so for the MAX workouts, but I do wear a heart rate monitor as well. Or you can play the Modifier track which splits the screen. It is called Metamorphosis by Tracy. Autumn kind of makes my eardrums vibrate in a bad way so I have no hope of surviving 80 solid days of her without some good quality whiskey from the old country. Knowing that month 2 is harder is pretty impressive. Tweet. i have 2 weeks vacations and i really want to finally start a program ….which one do think i should start with???

Hi! My personal opinion is that Les Mills Combat would be far too easy after Max 30. Still want to review it sometime in January if possible. I love insainty but have been spoiled by p90x3 and am now addicted to 30 min (or less?!) INSANE RESULTS. This is power intervals that will have you jumping, doing plyo-push-ups, and speed dips. It might have been Body Beast as that sounds like something I’d do! Thankyou for your honest reviews and opinions. With INSANITY, Shaun T gave you a year’s worth of results in only 60 days. Anyway i was thinking of doing the MAX 30 when I’m done with T-25 because at the rate I am going I don’t think I will hit my goal at the end of T-25. Here it seems to have more cardio and “on the spot” jumping as opposed to agility ladders and weights. I think recovery is missing in these HIIT programs and my middle-aged body needs it! To hybrid with Body Beast, go for Max 30. HI Parrot! Hi there! Thanks again!!! Yes CVX is annoying. In lieu of a pull-up bar I found that resistance bands work pretty good here as a substitute. I’m a busy mom so I love that it’s only 30 minutes but a killer workout nevertheless. I recently completed a few rounds of Max 30 and just up finished asylum 1. I can do most (not all) the workouts without “maxing out”, but guess there’s still some room to do everything at a harder clip… Not sure I can counter their arguments either! Remember Tabata Power where you got a merciful ten second rest? Second week body weight exercises (push ups, pull ups, tricep dips). Could you repost that for me? The insanity programs obviously don’t go by this philosophy, and obviously people are getting results… Is the idea of spacing HIIT workouts simply false then?  The muscles being attacked are the chest, triceps and of course…legs.  In short, the mission is to kill you. You are my FAV fitness site to read, There’s a few options. I see what you’re saying, Holyguy7, but I disagree about the relative importance placed on absolute price. That alone should give you an idea of the intensity of this beast. John Paul Parrot ( aka. So if you have the cash to spend it is a nice addition. Thanks. I often do these two workouts as a hybrid. I maxed out around 4. I tried my fitness pal and didnt care for it we where never meant to count calories our ancestors never did. Ultimately, it’s my fault. Lauren Plenger lost … It is not as good as the beachbody programs but for less than $30 and workouts that are only 20 minutes, it is nice to to good alternative to beachbody. It’s quite different that T25. It’s hard to say whether doing one or the other is going to make a huge amount of difference. I’ll be finishing this program on the 24th and I was going to do Core De Force when it comes out, but I might do a round of Asylum then do core de force…can’t wait to read your review on that!! I can summarize this quickly…ow. Thank you so much for the honest reviews filled with wit and hilarious visuals. I think it’s easier for me this way and not breaking the flow of each workout. Insanity uses compound moves, max interval training, and body resistance moves to help you torch calories, burn fat, and get shredded in just 60 days! Now I am trying again – not a six pack, just want to burn off that stubborn stomach fat. This time around I am doing them. You start with the FIRST month to get you warmed up (hehe). But, Ruthless suffers from what Insanity suffers from, no strength training and that, IMO is a needed part of fitness.  No, this one is the battle between your body and your mind…who will win? I did Welder Ruthless’s “Drip” workout today, and felt that the workout just wasn’t the same quality as Insanity or Insanity Max:30. I’m on my third round of Gamma Pure Strength Hybrid and really seeing the results. As with all things, you just have to modify where your body says to do so. What exercise DVD would you recommend for us. As someone who has a lower back made of wet paper, I find I am able to do Max 30. and its been a brutal two months. workouts. I am waiting for this review. Hey DP, i’ve done insanity, t25, asylum vol.1, vol.2, p90x3, p90x2 and now finishing up block 3 of bodybeast, i was just wondering, would this program be for me if i wish to shred thise last remaining pounds on my mid section to reveal the abs? The recipes are simple and organized by Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snack. Then I found a hybrid schedule for all 3 combined on Pinterest and did that for a month or two. My max out time is still nothing to brag about! and super hard and time efficient. DP, I – 43 y.o. Try to motivate Mrs Parrot (she might want to kick me right now) to make a “woman to women review”. Ah, shoes! Would you recommend against Max 30 for somebody with a poor physical fitness history and is relatively weak in cardio but who has just completed P90X3, Les Mills Combat, and Athlean-X? I found t 25 difficult to begin with but it has gotten easier for me so I’m looking forward to adding a bit more challenge. I wake up at 5:30 to workout and I really cannot add to much time as I am EXHAUSTED as it is. Hi DP, I don’t get it. His chair is also a little too close to the twenty year old microwave. I’ve lost 21.5 pounds and 21.5 inches, but I still want to lose 10 more and a few more inches off my waist plus tone up. Insanity Max also offers meal plans, but I chose not to do that. Which you mentioned in part one of the MAX 30 review (ahem). But gosh darn it, I’m going to sacrifice my body to give you a decent non-coach review if it’s the last thing I do. Now, having done all 30 of the workouts, I can say the two hardest ones (for me at least) is: Let’s look at Insanity for a moment, shall we? You can try Asylum if you’re wanting to up the ante. In Max 30 that is not going to happen! Ha ha ha! Hey DP, would the cardio in this workout be on par or harder than asylum 1 & 2? It truly is difficult and certainly not for someone who has never worked out before. Let’s even take note that you can see his obliques! Have you experienced any wait loss or fat loss since starting max:30? Hey DP, firstly, I love your reviews. Tuesday: Eccentric Upper + X3 Ab or Max30 Ab I own so many programs and am never quite sure how to mix them up. Basically, the second you feel you need to slow down your pace, take a breather or you feel your form start to slip, you have maxed out. This workout series just like many other Shaun T workouts, seems to be very demanding physically, and nutrition is key. But the problem lies in the P90X3 part. After getting this program I retired it. I must admit that out of all dozens of programs I have collected over the years, Shaun T has become my personal favorite instructor. Mad respect for doing that for us  You get one crummy sip after the warm-up and then one at the half-way point. To me, I found CE somewhat annoying, but that’s my preference. LOVED IT!!! I’ve done a few rounds of IM30, and skipped the tabata power & strength and max out power & strength because I thought they were too slow. Just take it slow and easy! Insanity MAX 30 came out with specific workouts for Fridays and Saturday called Friday Fight and Saturday Pulse…both with a very specific goal in mind that will accelerate your results. Try to avoid the half-hour workouts unless you want to do them twice a day as I’ve yet to see one that will keep up with Asylum. – Average 1000 Calorie deficit Daily. Great review! I noticed that biceps in particular get fairly ignored. What would you recommend as an extreme cardio workout similar to Max 30 (I have done insanity already). Thanks so much for your input! Although results will differ among men and women, both will see amazing results with Insanity. TIA! I don’t think I have ever sworn at my television with such frequency or intensity…. His Insanity results blew … Thank you so much for all of your reviews! After reading some of your comments, I’m worried that X3 will be too easy. Best workout reviews ever. I have done 6 week 6 pack, 30 day shred, and ripped in 30.  Based on that I have to warn you all…get good shoes or your feet are gonna hurt. Have you tried Insane Focus? Or are you still eating as much as you did during bodybeast? Asylum for sure. Insanity Max 30 Good Sunday Morning!! You get two crummy water breaks…one at 15 minutes and the other at 26.  Only this time Shaun doesn’t want you fit. Asylum tends to kill you with big, powerful movements. I’m doing T2 gamma now, and the only workout that I found a little channelling was the speed 3.0, but to be honest I stopped my workouts for 3 months or so, now I’m back on track I just did one week of beta (2 workouts pwr day total 50 minutes) with no problems and I am a little bored and wanted a new thing so I ordered the gamma cycle and I love it by the way!!! X3 is good, but will probably not increase size as much as it increases functionality. Insanity was my Salt Of the Earth program. I am finding Beta to be easier than the Alpha…is that common? Insanity Max 30 before and after photos will shock anyone! Awesome. I don’t have enough space (Those runs around and long jumps become dangerous!). Absolutely. If you have a reasonabley high fitness level to start with the Max:30 will still kick your ass but I reckon it will get you in incredible shape. Or at least survive…, I would think this and Body Beast would make an excellent hybrid. Both excellent programs. For loosing belly fat, try loosing all bread. I completed T25 Alpga, Beta and Gamma a couple of months ago and have just started Max:30. The idea with T25 is to make it all the way. I began to see the infomercials for his Insanity program all the time.  Now the Internet’s top anti-coach returns for Insanity Max:30. I think this is an excellent schedule you linked to. No roll over on skaters. I especially like the seasoning mixes, salad dressings and the do it yourself section that has omelet, salad and dinner ideas. Loved t25 but need something a little more challenging. I’ll let her know when she comes back in the room…. I am an exercise instructor (part-time), so I do home workouts mainly because I don’t want to spend my workout time with the distractions that go with working out where I “work.” Therefore, I’ll spend $120 on Insanity (well, I did five years ago) because I’ll get $120+ worth of fitness doing Shaun T’s routines. Why? I have insanity and have done all insanity workouts as well. That’s another important selling point for me as sometimes I just really need that option. ), I have to admit I do cheat with T25: I press ‘pause’ often and 25 minutes sometimes stretches to 40! Every two weeks, one day, a 60 minutes LesMills Body Combat. Somehow he manages to maintain a funny demeanour, yet stay unwavering in his desire to push you to succeed. Could P90X2 be done with resistance bands? I went the same path as you, P90x3, P90x, Insanity, Tapout Xt 1 and 2, just finished Body Beast, and am 3 Weeks into Insanity 30. Hi Mr. Parrot, recommendations? I am finding the weight loss to be much slower as it was on Insanity. I’m considering Nicky Holander’s Stronger, 22 minute hard corp, and 21 Day Fix Extreme. The format is 3 moves for 30 seconds each, then a break to gather up your pieces. If you’re a man thinking of getting the Insanity discs you want to know how effective they are – will they give you the results you’re looking for?And if you’ve already started the Insanity workouts you want to know how your results measure up to those of other men or what you can expect further into the program. What results are men getting from Insanity workouts? Personally I like a bit of variety so after 60 days I would likely either try something else, or incorporate this into a hybrid. To be honest, it gets going fairly quickly. any suggestions? And 46 is young! good news is after the rest started the week with Wed workout & just finished Fri fight round 1. Another workout you might want to review is Weider Ruthless. There have been times I’ve needed to take a week off just to allow recovery. Too much to have both memberships simultaneously. Parrot, which one would you say is more difficult, insanity max 30 or the classic insanity? Is it safe to say this is flat out better than the original Insanity? The citizens of Gotham can sleep easy tonight…. Best, Some of the “hijinks” mentioned by the Horton puts me off a little. Here’s another example of what kind of weight loss results INSANITY MAX:30 has to offer. I want to lean out alot. I am liking Chalene much better than Tony Horton, thusfar, and will likely figure out a rotation of Chalene Extreme, T25, Insanity, a few P90x3 workouts and now, hopefully Insanity Max 30! The problem might be finding a cardio program that is as hard as Max 30. I guess there’s a reason Shaun T’s abs are registered under the Geneva Convention. I tried Welder Ruthless, and I think that DP pretty much covered WR when he covered Tom Holland’s 90-day Fitness programming. If your fuel is wrong, you just won’t get the results you are looking for. I found insanity to be hard on my knees (never had an injury but they were always sore after insanity). Is Max 30 ok? Im not a huge fan of the tabata workouts. I’m coming off a pretty serious neck injury after doing back to back to back programs over the past two years (insanity twice, p90x, p90x2, etc). It is better to compare these workouts to like 10 minute trainer from Beachbody.  Biceps and shoulders don’t see much action, but I’ll address that more in Part 2. Insanity was filmed in a gym Completed a few rounds of Max 30 and in between rounds have done 21 day fix and 21 day extreme.  The set is easy to look at, although personally I would remove about 3 or 4 cast members for extra space. I am also doing body beast (while doing max 30 – I couple that with whatever program I am doing) and I can burn 280 during total body, or 230 during build back and bis – it just seems off to me.
