I was reading today on Carl Daikeler's Twitter page that Insanity might not be out until July now. I hope its wrong but at the same time I've been wavering a little too! I thought i'd pass it along and let you guys know if you didnt already.

Take care!

Well, now that KathyG is tempting me with the preview, I get to find out for myself.

I do think I will still wait, because if nothing else any dvd "issues" will be known by then.

Today I did 4DS Bootcamp, and I'm starting the Shock Cardio Countdown right now.

I've decided to hold off as well -- although if there were a money saving pre-sale, I'd cave for sure!

I'm disappointed, though, to hear this news even if I'm not ordering. Is this confirmed? I was all ready for the excitement!

I'm loving the preview DVD of Insanity, but I'm waiting a few weeks 'til I buy it, too.
My dear ol' dad -- always an overachiever as an MBA and MD -- taught me that you should rarely be the first in line to buy anything. Let other folks work the kinks out. You should sit back and be patient.

Wasn't CLX late? And they still had all those problems with those kits. Maybe they want to make sure these are okay before they actually start selling them.

I noticed they stopped saying "coming in June" on all their materials last month (they started saying "coming this summer"), so a delay isn't completely unexpected, but I was still hoping for June... Starting in September I'll be working on hypertrophy until next spring, so, for me, these will likely have to wait anyway.

Now that's what I call a plan!

I'm repeating what others have said:

So I find the preview interesting, but I'm waiting for others' experiences, like how intense it is and how adapatable it is:

- I wonder how it'd wind up adapted for low impact--although at this point I don't see myself starting a thread specifically to ask, I just may yet if no one brings up the topic elsewhere. I don't avoid high-impact as a matter of course, but my home workout space is more of a low-impact area, heh.

- I also wouldn't plan on using the rotation as given; I'm not experimenting yet with this as a full-fledged rotation, especially in terms of dropping other workouts to make room for it. I feel more inclined to use the separate workouts in a more isolated fashion and would also want to know how doing so works out for others in terms of improving fitness.

Found a link to the preview purchasing page for Insanity:

If all of these workouts are similar, I wonder if several people went together and purchased it and then split the order if that would be an idea for some. I am curious on just how much "overlap" there will be of each workout spilling into the next......

I know the page shown was incomplete, but I was hoping to see an Insanity water bottle like the one in the workouts. Don't they usually throw in a "freebie" of some sort?
