Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning Workout Review

The Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning workout is 47 minutes of pure endurance training. Endurance training is a type of exercise that increases your stamina and endurance. Performing these type of exercises strengthens and elongates the muscles for preparation of extended periods of use.

Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning workout is one of 10 DVDs included with Insanity 60-day workout program. If you are an athlete, max cardio with Shaun T. can help you train train for endurance to compete in running and biking races. If you are not a competitive athlete, you can train to burn calories and fat.

Shaun T. starts you out with a 10 minute warmup that includes the usual faire of running in place, jumping jacks, side-to-side jump rope, high knees, and more. In true Shaun T Insanity style, you do circuits through the warm up, performing the exercises a little more intense and fast with each circuit. The warmup is followed by a few minutes of a much needed stretching session. The warmup is so intense you may think it is the actual workout but it’s not!

You will get pushed to your limit with this extreme Insanity cardio workout as all the exercises are performed at an advanced level. You use the Insanity Max Cardio DVD in the second 30 days. You will need the base conditioning achieved in the first 30 days in order to do these exercises.

The endurance workout is 32 minutes long. You may not think that is much time, but when you do this workout, well it’s so intense that you may not make it through the 32 minutes. You will be doing nonstop jumping high low exercises, football runs with drops to the floor, high jumps with low moving squats, floor jack pushups, and much more!

Shaun is awesome at constantly pushing you through the workout – you will need it! He stresses good form at all times, there is no room to get sloppy on these exercises if you want to get results. Shaun also stresses staying in control at all times. The Max Cardio conditioning Insanity workout will have you working harder than most of the other workout DVDs included with the 60 day program.

If you want to get in great shape and do the hardest workout you may ever experience on DVD, then get Insanity. It is tough but when you see your body changing, your heart rate lowered, your endurance and ability improved, you will see why it was all worth it!

By ordering Beachbody products through Team Beachbody, you save BIG on shipping and handling – and who wants to pay more for that?

You start your 60 minute workout with a 10 minutes warmup consisting of a set of intense exercises (you thought this was just a stretching warmup did you?) When the first circuit is complete, you get to do it 2 more times! You do the first set of Insanity Max Interval Circuit warmup exercises at an easy pace. The next set you go faster, and the final set is even faster! After the warmup, you will be tired and sweating, so be sure to pace yourself or you will never make it through the real workout!

In the warmup, you get to do exercises like jogging, straight arm jumping jacks, side to side floor hops, and jumping air rope side to side. Shaun reminds you that he is “here to train you and kick your butt today – I am not playing!”

When you finish the warm up, you can get some water (you’ll need it) and a nice stretch for 5 minutes! Take advantage of this time folks and be prepared for what is to come next! When the Insanity Max Interval Circuit stretch is complete, the real fun starts!

Shaun takes you through a series of exercises performed in a circuit. You do each set of exercises and repeat the set 3 times total. The last set is ALWAYS fast and furious! You’ll be doing Shaun T. style exercises like sprinting with lunges, oblique pushups (knees to elbows), power strikes, frog jumps, and floor switch kicks.

The exercises in Max Interval Circuit are intense and near the end of the 60 minute workout, you will be feeling it! Think you can keep up? Think again. It may take you a few tries to keep up with Insanity Max Interval Circuit!

Shaun takes the intensity down a few notches with 3.5 minute much needed stretch that you will be thankful for! Insanity is NOT for a beginner. If you have what it takes to bring your fitness to a whole new level, take the Shaun T. Insanity challenge. It will challenge you!

Where to Buy Insanity by Shaun T.

Insanity is Shaun T’s newest 60-day at home fitness program. Insanity is intense and will get you in the best shape of your life! Insanity is the creation of Beachbody, a fitness industry leader.

So, where should you buy Insanity by Shaun T? Buy Insanity at Team Beachbody. At Team Beachbody, you also get free fitness tools, community support, and a motivational Coach. You also get the best price on shipping!

READ THIS: Now, you may have done an online search for Insanity and come upon many stores that offer Insanity at a very low price. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it? Let me tell you about the places you should never purchase Insanity and why.

A few weeks after Insanity was released by Beachbody, the counterfeiters were already at work, creating illegal copies. Various websites offer Insanity packages at $84.00, $99.00, and other crazy low prices.  They may offer free shipping too!

I understand that you may be drawn to a bargain. However, you must understand that when you purchase illegal copies of Insanity, you are participating in and supporting these illegal activities.

Insanity cheap copies

Beachbody works very hard to produce quality fitness program from top fitness trainers and experts. Beachbody is so successful at creating programs that help you get in the best shape of your life, that modern day pirates or thieves are always trying to rip them off. When you buy from these thieves, YOU are also ripping off Beachbody.

In addition, many people get ripped off themselves by purchasing from these sources. Here are some of the emails and comments I hear from people who purchased from illegal sources:

  • My Shaun T. Insanity DVD doesn’t work.
  • I don’t have the Insanity Calendar, how do I know when and which workout to do?
  • What do I eat with Insanity? No, I did not receive the Elite Nutrition Guide.
  • I didn’t receive 10 DVDs, I only receive 9 Insanity DVDs.

Is this you? If you purchased your Insanity DVDs from an illegal source, you get what you pay for and you deserve it.

The first question I ask people is where did you purchase Insanity? When they tell me, I tell them I cannot support them or give them any information. All the information needed is packaged with the LEGAL distribution of Insanity with Shaun T.

I will leave you with this. If you are tempted to purchase a Beachbody product from an illegal source, think again. Beachbody is serious about combating the illegal copying of their products and is now stepping up their anti-pirating efforts. Most recently, Beachbody filed suit against sellers on eBay. Beachbody is seeking the maximum penality for copyright infringement, trademark infringement and other claims, including $150,000 per infringing act. They are investigating and will go after the various websites that you see selling Insanity cheap!

Beachbody is vigilant about fighting the illegal distribution of THEIR copyrighted materials!

Do the right thing. Buy Insanity (and other Beachbody fitness programs) from Team Beachbody. It is legal, you get free fitness tools, and a free motivational Coach. AND, you won’t be supporting illegal activities. Instead, you will be getting lots of support for YOUR fitness activities!

Best Shoes to Wear for Shaun T. Insanity Workouts

When you do a fitness program like Shaun T’s Insanity, you need a good pair of exercise shoes! A good pair of shoes will help prevent injury and enable you to perform better during exercises. Insanity is an intense 60-day program, where you will be doing exercise moves like plyometrics, jumping, and fast jogging in place. Plyometrics is a form of training designed to improve both power and strength. It usually involves some level of jumping. Whether you are jogging in place or doing plyometrics, your feet are continually hitting the ground. You need shoes that will support your joints and give you a soft landing!

Adidas Supernova Sequence shoes

I set out to purchase my fitness shoes for the Insanity at-home 60-day program. I am a long-time Nike gal so my first stop was Nike. I ended up bringing a pair home but they didn’t work out so I returned them. With most shoe purchases from any store, you can return the shoes as long as you don’t wear them outdoors.

Overall, I ended up purchasing a total of 7 pairs of shoes, ranging from Nike to New Balance and Reebok. I returned 6 and kept 1 pair. The pair I kept and use for my Insanity workouts are the Adidas Supernova Sequence 2. I would never have selected these on my own but got a recommendation by someone who was an avid runner.

The best advice is to go to a good running store. Like a real running store that specializes in fitting serious runners (and other activities) for shoes! The people that work at these specialty running stores know what they are talking about and can analyze your foot strike to help you determine the type of athletic shoe that is best for you!

These shoes were the best for me! The Adidas Supernova are sold in specialty running stores and are designed for serious runners. I purchased my Adidas Supernova Sequence 2 shoes online from Zappos. These shoes are wonderful for my Insanity workouts. They are designed for runners at every level. The inside cushioning is devine and feels great on my feet! Here are some other features that make the Adidas Supernova Sequence 2 shoes a winner to do for any activity, including Shaun T. Insanity workouts:

  • FORMOTION™ adapts to the ground to ensure the smoothest, most comfortable run possible
  • Synthetic upper for durability; MicroSuede for smooth forefoot fit and support for the natural flex zones of the foot; LightStrike 55 lasting for added comfort and stability
  • Non-slip lining for comfort and performance; Dual-layer adiLite/respoEVA sockliner for great step-in and motion comfort
  • adiPRENE®+ in the forefoot maintains propulsion and efficiency; TORSION® SYSTEM for midfoot integrity
  • GEOFIT™ construction for anatomical fit and comfort; Pro-moderator medial support device prevents overpronation
  • adiWEAR® outsole offers the ultimate in high-wear durability; Blown rubber outsole for lightweight grip and cushion

The Adidas shoes work so well for me that I got a second pair, which I only wear indoors for at-home fitness programs. The other pair I use for outdoor only – that way I don’t get all that dirt in the house.

You can purchase the Adida shoes at most stores that carry Adidas, but I like shopping at Zappos. They have free shipping and easy returns if the shoes don’t fit right.

These shoes may or may not work best for you! Everyone is different. I love them! Send yourself to a specialty running store that knows what they are talking about and get some  shoes that are right for you. What shoes do you wear for intense workouts?
