I can't wait to get my hands on these. I'm sure that it will take me a while to complete them but I love a challenge.

Rhonda, thanks so much for your detailed information! I'm very excited about the upcoming order; I have been bugging my own BB coach incessantly for updates.

ALL HAIL INSANITY!

*and shock cardio*

I found some info about the release:

Insanity is the most intense and thorough cardio-intensive workout program ever to be set to DVD. It is expected to launch this summer with a proposed base package of:

Dig Deep/Fit Test
Plyometric Cardio Circuit
Cardio Power & Resistance
Cardio Recovery/Max Recovery
Pure Cardio/Cardio Abs
Cardio Abs
Core Cardio & Balance
Max Interval Circuit
Max Interval Plyometrics
Max Cardio Conditioning/Cardio Abs
Along with the DVD series, you will also receive a nutrition guide and a basic workout booklet to guide you thru the program.

WOW! So how do I get my hands on the teaser???

You have to buy this month's One-on-One or find a person so skeered by it they want to trade it...

So how was the one-on-one this month Rhonda?

I tried Insanity yesterday and was about to die by the end. I consider myself pretty fit but this workout totally wiped me out. I actually welcomed the stretch after the first 10 minutes and what did me in was the last set of moves repeated 3 times. Even some of the background exercisers were huffing and puffing and even taking short breaks. My heart rate was sky high and I had to take short breaks towards the end, even more then the 30 seconds you get between sets. This workout definitely lived up to it's name and I'm sure the others in the set will too.

Kat I haven't previewed the one-on-one this month. I guess I should at least look at it

Wow, the teaser is awesome!!! Shaun gives excellent form pointers through out the entire workout (the tips are displayed on the screen, too), he is serious but very motivating (not goofy, like in Hip Hop Abs or Rockin' Body workouts). I have fairly good cardio endurance, but by the last set (push-ups, mountain climbers, burpees, plank/side knee jump), I was slowing down the pace & reps to finish out the workout. The cast took plenty of extra rests and were out of breath, too (most of the females look like dancers).

The warm-up was about ten minutes (jacks, jog, butt kicks, Heisman), then 10 min. stretch, then more drills (football runs, ski jumps, jump squat, fast run, knee ups), short punches section (jabs, uppercuts), followed by a short stretch (3-4 mins) that repeat the exercises from the first stretch. The set of each execises is repeated 3-4 times, with each subsequent time, the pace of exercises increases. Shaun does give many water breaks throughout the workout. There wasn't a modifier, but exercisers could be done more shallow, slower pace, less reps or w/ more rests in between. Not all of the exercises were high impact, and many of the moves are recognizable from Plyo X but done w/ max reps & faster pace (Heisman, jump squat, run lunge/Mary Catherines, jump shot/basketball). Workout is about 41 mins, and the music was not noticable to me because I was focusing on getting through the workout.


Overall a good cardio workout, I cannot wait for set to come out.
