I don't even need to lose weight, I've done Insanity 4 times just for the heck of it, and when I found out about Max 30 I was pumped again. Insanity Max 30 felt like I was going to die and the soreness is insane, even my fingers hurt, I'll tell you Max 30 is great I'm doing it for the thrill of it and sense of accomplishment. Bad thing is that my feet got blisters the first time I did Max 30! Yep burned my feet.
So true about INSANITY! I'm on week 4 and I normally don't work more than a day or two per week. These last couple of days were brutal at work and I still did insanity but I'm exhausted beyond words afterwards. I work the rest of the week, hopefully I can make it through.
marina n it becomes SUPER Insanity in that case! Way to go on balancing both - I know it's not easy when long hours and craziness happens at work. Are you able to get a good amount of sleep to balance it? That is my big struggle that I am always trying to focus on to help with recovering better.
Sweet Life Fitness yesss I’ve tried to tell people this!!!! I’ve lost 20lbs in 2 weeks of insanity and I tell people eating right is the key to losing weight that quickly
I like that there aren’t as many breaks as in insanity - insanity really kicked my butt, you get 30 seconds every round of whatever amount of workout moves he has, insanity Max 30 only has 3 brief recovery periods and if you max out you can take a break but you have to be on your death bed to take a break. I just love that max 30 is shorter - the shortness makes me think it’s only 30 minutes - so I go harder.
Bob Sharpe definitely! I find in the break times I tend to reflect on how tired I am, but the less amount of breaks I have, I don’t think about my fatigue, I just think I need to hurry up and get through this.
Awesome review. It's always fun to hear other people's views on the things we do in common. I actually feel like the Max Out Sweat was harder than Fight #2 but those two are definitely a step up in intensity from anything else out there. I would also suggest people that are fans of both to build themselves a hybrid calendar where you're doing a couple of old school Insanity's a week and a couple of Max 30. Makes for a crazy new challenge if you get bored doing one (or both) of them repeatedly!
+Steve Weisfeldt great suggestions! I can't deny that Max Out Sweat isn't a beast in itself...Shaun T really rocked it with the Max 30 workouts...they don't disappoint!
I agree that Max 30 is easier to stick with, but when it comes to difficulty, I'd say only Friday Fight 2 matches how tough Max Interval Circuit and Max Cardio Conditioning were.
Bob, what are the rules on eating when eating out or special occasions? For example, lets say it's a birthday and they want to go to an indian. If you know this is coming up in advance, do you fast for the day and JUST have the indian and carry on as normal tomorrow?
You could fast if you want to, or enjoy the cheat meal but keep it in a proper portion size (let's be honest, that can be the most difficult part...especially if it's really good).
I generally skip the stretching on the original which cuts down rest of the workout to 28-32 minutes so same length as max 30. I prefer the original as it’s more intense and feel like it’s better for weight loss.
coronavirus bring me back to working out at home with insanity i used to work out with the first program back in 2012.. i watched you review before purchase max out, today is my 3rd week and you were right is so much better i love it, better than the first one .. thank you for this review!!
marija it seriously is LEGIT - and works so well with any schedule if you are busy. Once you get it we'll get you added into our free online group too over @ sweetlifefitness.net
There’s no way max30 is tougher than insanity OG, the only workouts that is on par with OG is the fight rounds and sweat fest. Max 30 is good for those short on time.
But I did both of these programs and the insanity workout was more and really effective than max 30 So I'm going to do another round of insanity workout ..
Max: 30 is popular because it’s more efficient. 30 minutes and it’s over, you’re done. Suffer those 30 minutes a day, eat the right foods, go about your day.
I tried max 30 and I couldn't stand it because it didn't have a warm up. But right now I'm doing the original insanity but adding in , max 15 or maxout abs, 10 min abs and pulse with the original insanity and I'm loving the combination.
Thanks for doing these reviews. It can get pretty overwhelming looking at all the different variations of work out programs. I think I will go for Insanity: Max 30 instead. Thanks again and can't wait to get started :]
nutrition is the hardest thing for me I did insanity for 60 days 4 to 5 days a week, did get some results and love them but is not what I expected and I know it's because I didn't change my eating habits. now I'm starting max 30 and I definitely want to do some changes
Probs late to the party. Basically, for weight loss, would you prefer Insanity of Insanity Max 30? I'm on week 2 of Insanity Max, i was bedbound for 3 months, gained a lot of weight. I am 102kg and my ideal weight is about 92. I want to achieve this in 8 weeks. So trying to decide if i should do insanity or insanity max for the weight loss. And i will actually complete it. Obviously i take breaks and do modifiers for now but i am bathing in my own sweat afterwards.
What I can say is even up to today, which is a few years after I did this video, I still do INSANITY Max 30 religiously...just did Friday Fight, Round 1 yesterday in fact within the Max 30 program 😃 I definitely like the shorter time but yet it still packs the punch to help you push towards the goals.
@@BobSharpe Thanks for the response. Yeah, i plan on doing T25 after the 2 months is up. Friday Fight is a killer. Today i have the Sweat intervals. I did a breakdown on insanity vs insanity max, and as long as you're maxing out, i'm pretty sure both are viable and very close to loosing weight. Although insanity is more cardio, it is, as you know..as important to shape your body which Max does. So yeah, i bought Insanity Max and i'll just continue on with that, sometimes i even go for a run in the afternoon.
Insanity wastes lots of time on the start-up and warm-up before getting into the actual workout. That is why Insanity: Max 30 is tougher than Insanity, no stall time whatsoever. You get up and you keep moving till the timer is up.
I am doing Insanity (normal version) for the 6th time within 5 years (I keep regaining the weight from poor nutrition and university is kicking my butt) I just finished month 1 and am in the recovery week and am now just debating whether or not I should switch to max 30 with school approaching again or just ride out month 2 of insanity then switch after. What are your thoughts?
I will tell you what I would do, but it all depends of course on your own personal preferences: Since school may get in the way and cause some time constraints I'd lean towards max 30 and try my hardest to keep up with the food plan. I absolutely understand the challenge of nutrition for sure when in that state, but at least the 30 mins can get you on your way to maintaining success!
@@chelseadelacruz7343 it makes me excited every time i work out!!!
3 ปีที่แล้ว +2
the max 30 is amazing ngl. it kicks your butt but it's super fast (30-45 mins). I'm just starting month 2 so I'm not sure about the results. i wish it came with meal planning
Insanity came out in 2009.. p90x was in 2003-2005 which came out before insanity but either way good review I just got Beachbody on demand since I’m stuck inside now and I love p90x 1,2 and 3 and I also like all the insanity’s. body beast for lifting and then i usually do insanity for cardio. I usually eat a lot so I can do both workouts each day I don’t recommend doing that unless your body is up for it just don’t overwork yourself! Anyway point being if you don’t have Beachbody workouts go get them!
+joseph sudler, sr. I can problely Browr from my Cosin who uses T25. But Am insane thought Insanely max out 30 would be a better chose... I have only 7 months to get into shape before my wedding.
its like if you have the Willpower then do the Insanity but if you want lose and get a quick workout then do Max 30. I lost 35 lbs in 60 days with Insanity (but I couldn't wait for it to be over) and I lost 25 lbs with Max 30 but I am still doing it and love it.
I tried insanity, and it killed my knees. I started with it every day, then I had to take constant breaks because my knees were hurting too bad and I couldn't work out. I'll do a couple of rounds of T25, then I might actually think about getting max 30
+Bob Sharpe i have done Max 30 Month 2 and now doing Month 2 Insanity well for sure Max 30 Fight Night 2 is kinda insane superhumanlike but overal Month 2 Insanity is more intense then Max 30... do you agree?
I dunno but i stopped with Insanity Month 2 because for me the 2nd Month after a workout i felt imense pressure on my chest, i'm still in recovery mode and it will take a couple days more to feel better again.... SAFETY FIRST! but Insanity has a big pause in between but for me it was just too intense :( it's a downer but when i'm "ok" again i'm thinking to go back where it all started for me and that's P90X3 :)
***** We are now almost 2 months further and i'm doing P90X3 , this workout works for me, i feel better, i'm slimming down and i'm trying to get the best out of 30 minutes! Have you done P90X3 and did you love it... also were your results to you liking?
RAVEN HAYWARD trust me I hear you on that - but at least this one is something you keep forever vs having to pay monthly for a trainer/etc - that is how I looked at it.
That’s true but if you were to get a 10 dollar membership at a gym for one year it’d still be cheaper to buy insanity because most gyms have an annual fee of like 40-50 bucks. plus you can do it at home, no time driving to the gym and walking around the gym not knowing what to do!
Hey Bob, I just finished Insanity last week and now after a week’s rest I started insanity Max 30.. the workout was def burning my lungs which hasn’t happened as much when i was doing insanity.. but i noticed that calories burned during max 30 were significantly lower than insanity(duh! the duration!) but I was wondering if that would mean Max 30 won’t be as effective as Insanity? Your thoughts ?
That is a fair point that it does burn less calories; however I have found that people's peak heart rate has helped their endurance & VO2 max heart rate stay high throughout the day (in English...that means burning more calories throughout the entire day). Where the formula fits together in a perfect way is in the nutrition. Don't follow the INSANITY nutrition guide with max 30, follow the Max 30 guide which has programming for the assumed calorie burn alongside of what type of activity you do throughout the rest of your waking hours. Keep rocking it!
I think if you start out with Insanity Max 30 if you starting to get back into shape it's 30 minutes a day in my opinion insanity is more for like it's a little longer about 45 minutes and it's more for like polishing up your body after you have finished Insanity Max 30 and you're looking for a challenge insanity will probably give me that challenge so I would kind of do the reverse I would use insanity max 30 it has a shorter workout setup about 30 minutes a day which anyone can do . insanity is more for an immediate and advanced because I had a friend he would tell him he will be sore every day and I made the suggestion to him why not try and Insanity Max 30 and your next cycle and switch back and forth with insanity and I also suggested to my friend why not try T25 and combine it with Insanity Max 30
I started Insanity in early March. I am now on week 5 and I have only lost 14 lbs. Now to give you a little history, I weighed in at 326lbs. I am eating about 1500-1800 calories per day and working out 6 days a week without skipping any days. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong that I cannot drop any more weight. Help!!!!
Anyone having problems doing these?? I'm on the second week day 3 of insanity and I LOVE IT! I dont want to miss anything, however, I have never in my life had ankle problems till now. They feel so week when I just stand and I gotta get through today's workout like this. I dont want to cause a long term problem that will mess with my results in the future. Any advice would be appreciated. TIA!
Do you have Beachbody on Demand? If so try out P90X X Stretch. It is long (58 mins) but it works so well to stretch and strengthen up your legs and areas that can help you go stronger in your Insanity workouts. I do X Stretch now every Sunday for that purpose
+Juliana Cerpas I still like Max 30 over Insanity (my humble opinion). The two big reasons: 1. I really enjoy the resistance-style tabata training that is included in Max 30, along with the awesome ab exercises. 2. The nutrition plan is spot on...easy to follow and works very well.
Juliana Cerpas it's hard to say based on the starting points of many people. I'd say people who start out in the "overweight" category that I've helped with Max 30 average 25 pounds lost in 60 days.
+gagzy1989 thanks for stopping by. I would have to say Asylum would be the graduate program of the two - out of the league of these two for that purpose...after you do either Max 30 or reg Insanity, then it's time to take it to the Sports and do the Asylum!
as you said, insanity max 30 is harder tha insanity... so should i start with insanity and then go wuth the max, or i go with max 30 even if it kills me?
+Vicente Peñailillo go full board with Max 30 - you got this! And use this video to help zero in on how you can modify to take advantage of the program and rock your results: th-cam.com/video/rUnqe_VCPBM/w-d-xo.html
Lol idk which is harder! Some say Insanity is harder then Max 30 and some say it's the other way around! 🤣🤔 Me I'm pretty fit I can almost make it through a whole workout but it I'm spent afterwards!! 😁👍I've been doing T25 for years and it's a piece of cake now but now I've upped it to insanity!
Which is better P90X3 or Insanity Max 30? I was on bedrest for 5 years so I lost a lot of muscle. I don't want to burn fat off. I don't have any to lose. I want to gain strength in my muscle and my heart.
+Blake Smith sorry to hear that, but I respect your focus and drive to rock the future! I would say P90X3 based on your goals, or even Body Beast - that way you can focus on building up the muscle and mass, and then roll from there as you'd like.
T25 is good, and I would recommend it as a stepping stone to Max 30 - you may find it a bit less intense vs Max 30, although the weight incorporation it has is nice if you like the weights :-)
Yes absolutely...while you won't have the weights, the intensity of the Max 30 moves certainly makes this a step up from the Gamma. Think "Delta" minus weights!
Hi I just finished first week of Insanity didn't drop any weight but I'm into it. I have beef, breast chicken and tofu for most of my meals. Any food in order to provide my work out?
So, I'm a guy and I've just turned 19, I'm 6'2" and 115kg. Now I'm ashamed of how I've let myself go over the years, I'm not afraid to admit that so I'm looking for an exercise option to do. I'm just about to start university or college as you might call it. My main goal is to loose all of this fat I've accumulated and as a bonus to build some muscle. I'm not a sporty guy due to my weight but I can cook and will have no problem with my diet. What do you think my best option should be? P90X, Insanity, Insanity Max 30 or even some other workout I haven't heard of. If you could advise me on what to do, I'd be so grateful because to be honest, I need to change and I'm up for the challenge. Many thanks.
William Medhurst it's all good dude, we are all human and even I left myself drop the ball a bit this past Holiday season. I recently did INSANITY Max 30 to melt down the body fat, feel free to check out my results directly. Personally with how well the program was structured (and it fits very good into a busy schedule), I would recommend Max 30 for your goals: th-cam.com/video/eEh0dLRtRtg/w-d-xo.html
Hey asusual good review.I do agree with you that Max 30 is hard but its fun. I have completed 3 rounds of Max 30 and lost good amount of weight. But now i have hit plateau and looking for some change.what s your thoughts on doing original Insanity after Max 30? I love shaun T n his work outs and my aim is to loose more weight.
Definitely a great idea so that you can mix it up a bit. If you feel you hit a plateau, changing up your routine can certainly do great benefit to your overall results and taking you to the next level. Keep rocking and keep me posted on your journey!!
Bob Sharpe Thank you for ur reply. I have started Original insanity and loving it. Is it important to do recover week after 4 weeks? Or is it ok to jump straight on to the 2nd month workouts? I really appreciate your help and good work. Big thank you
I read a review about Insanity’s food guide and it stated that it’s 40% protein, 40% carbs, and 20% fat. Is that correct? And what would happen if I really can’t meet my protein goals? Is there any wiggle room? (I am tracking my macros but can’t seem to hit my protein goals everyday!)
I think insanity max 30 is easier... when I tried the long insanity version, I nearly passed out. I could barely get passed working out for 20 minutes.
Hi great vid i keep hearing that it takes your curves away im not trying to loose weight im 145 but i do want to get fit but i still want my curves i guess what i want to know is the body outcome i guess
+שני בדש I think you mean Focus T25? If so, I am going to also go with Max 30 for average people, and T25 for beginners. The reason is that I still really appreciate the idea of the focused abs workouts and flow of Max 30 vs Focus T25. The variety in Max 30 (in my humble opinion of course) is much greater and keeps it interesting.
Hey Bob, Thanks for this comparison. Well, i am 29 and 65 kg with above average fitness. My goal right now is to build my stamina as i want to prepare for my upcoming Himalayan hiking. So without loosing much weight , i want to increase strength and stamina. Can i consider MAX30 to achieve that?
I love your videos! You are so funny yet informative. Just a quick question, I am a highschooler and I play tennis for our school. Do you think it is possible for me to do Insanity and play tennis? We have practice everyday after school but occasionally 2-3 matches every week. thank you!!!
+Matthew Kim great question - and I think you'll be happy to know that Shaun T's favorite sport is Tennis - he plays it regularly, so definitely feel free!!
+Matthew Kim absolutely - always stay focused on the nutrition guide that comes along with it...that's the key that unlocks the door to the INSANITY results!
what I do is wake up an hour before I would regularly wake up for school, and just do the program and shower afterword. I wouldn't do it after school since I'm usually beat, that's what I recommend.
I very much enjoy Max 30 more than the original. Love the original, but Max 30 always changes the moves about every 30 or 60 seconds. However, I do find that Max Out Sweat is harder than both Friday Fights
I did insanity 3 years ago and lost a good amount of weight. I need to go back to working out I did T25 3 times (never fully completed it because of personal reasons) should I start it with Max30? I want a workout that will put me through hell but have amazing results
Absolutely! Max 30 is what you are looking for when you say "I wan a workout that will put me through hell" - it's tough but it produces some of the best results ever! Just be sure to follow their nutrition guide to a T
hi everybody my names Christopher I'm from England and I weigh 225 pounds can I do the insanity program with my ostopina weak bones in my knees I'm 29 years old . please respond many thanks Christopher
I would definitely check with the doctor to make sure (most MDs now know what INSANITY is or at least the basic concept...if not let them know it's High Intensity Interval Training, otherwise known as HIIT).
I used INSANITY 2005 to recover from chemotherapy. It's sentimental and I love it.
Wow great job and congrats on being a strong warrior!!! That is super inspirational to hear and I'm glad to hear this news!
It also has sentimental value too me
well done !! that’s so cool

You're spot on about nutrition. You cannot out work a bad diet.
I had to learn that the hard way too... But once I focused on it, great things happened

@@anthonydargan1459 how did you manage that?!

Bob, what are the rules on eating when eating out or special occasions? For example, lets say it's a birthday and they want to go to an indian. If you know this is coming up in advance, do you fast for the day and JUST have the indian and carry on as normal tomorrow?
You could fast if you want to, or enjoy the cheat meal but keep it in a proper portion size (let's be honest, that can be the most difficult part...especially if it's really good).
But do you get the same endurance with max30?
I generally skip the stretching on the original which cuts down rest of the workout to 28-32 minutes so same length as max 30. I prefer the original as it’s more intense and feel like it’s better for weight loss.
Friends are overrated, I’d rather be ripped 🤙🏻
Do both? 😅

I'm on my last week of P90x3. I'm planning to do Insanity 30 next month.
John Paul Sepe awesome - how are you liking P90X3? Max 30 will be a great new challenge but dang it works so well! Keep me posted on your progress!
There’s no way max30 is tougher than insanity OG, the only workouts that is on par with OG is the fight rounds and sweat fest. Max 30 is good for those short on time.
Thanks for the video. I like both of the programs. I appreciate your perspective to consider when I’m recommending workouts for my clients.
Ive done insanity back in 2012, then did bikini comp training in 2015, then ended up with back surgery in 2018 and am doing insanity,t25 and p90x now.
Great review
But I did both of these programs and the insanity workout was more and really effective than max 30
So I'm going to do another round of insanity workout ..
+Gegy mory whatever works best for you bud - keep rocking it!
***** okay 😊thaks for your support Bob👍
Which one is better though. Max 30 or the original insanity..?
AvonnaVentura insanity workout and I'm already in my round two of it after round one have given me great results. . It absolutely work
Gegy mory Okay, and thank you. I'm gonna try insanity. Congrats on the results, I hope it'll work for me too.
Max: 30 is popular because it’s more efficient. 30 minutes and it’s over, you’re done. Suffer those 30 minutes a day, eat the right foods, go about your day.
Very true
I lost 30 pounds in 30 days with the original insanity. 1200 calorie limit. But I don't like spending an hour working out.
I tried max 30 and I couldn't stand it because it didn't have a warm up. But right now I'm doing the original insanity but adding in , max 15 or maxout abs, 10 min abs and pulse with the original insanity and I'm loving the combination.
Can't wait to try Max 30.
+Elizabeth Nobles it is SO much fun - honestly one of my, if not my NUMBER ONE favorite. It does work you hard, but it works so great!
Insanity was filmed in 2008 and released in 2009, not 2005

Glad it helped!! Thanks for stopping by
I loved your review. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
so glad i watched this. thanks for sharing

+Bryan B. awesome choice - please keep me posted on your progress!
Insanity works for me than insanity max 30 because I can eat freely with insanity
For an obese person would i be able to do max 30 ?
Yes, you can do it!
100% you can do it!!
Faris - Go for it; you'll love it!!
Have a modification
I am doing insanity I started off at 302 I’m beginning week 3 at 271, it works. And you can do it.
we just finished insanity and definitely struggled with finding the time after work to do it, I want to give max 30 a try!
I definitely understand that point - time was a killer for me for a long time, thank goodness for these shorter but still very effective workouts.
so can we do max 30 juste after finishing insanity ?
nutrition is the hardest thing for me I did insanity for 60 days 4 to 5 days a week, did get some results and love them but is not what I expected and I know it's because I didn't change my eating habits. now I'm starting max 30 and I definitely want to do some changes
I've been through that too - once I tapped into Nutrition I had to kick myself for not taking it more serious before!

So yeah, i bought Insanity Max and i'll just continue on with that, sometimes i even go for a run in the afternoon.
What if i do both? one in the morning and one afternoon?
+UltraDraft you can definitely do that - just be sure to eat right so you have the right fuel to rock them both each day.
+Bob Sharpe Awesome! thanks for the great tips!
Nour any follow ups on that? How did it go?
Nour - How did it go?
He ded
Insanity= form and power
Max 30= fast phasing and maxing out
Insanity wastes lots of time on the start-up and warm-up before getting into the actual workout. That is why Insanity: Max 30 is tougher than Insanity, no stall time whatsoever. You get up and you keep moving till the timer is up.
Aaron Hart good point!
It’s 45-50 minutes
I am doing Insanity (normal version) for the 6th time within 5 years (I keep regaining the weight from poor nutrition and university is kicking my butt) I just finished month 1 and am in the recovery week and am now just debating whether or not I should switch to max 30 with school approaching again or just ride out month 2 of insanity then switch after. What are your thoughts?
I will tell you what I would do, but it all depends of course on your own personal preferences: Since school may get in the way and cause some time constraints I'd lean towards max 30 and try my hardest to keep up with the food plan. I absolutely understand the challenge of nutrition for sure when in that state, but at least the 30 mins can get you on your way to maintaining success!
im on the 4th week of the og insanity! ive lost 15lb but i honestly don’t eat that well; But i am seeing good changes in my body
Me too! I don’t eat perfect but I do try. But my body is changing and it’s amazing to see!
@@chelseadelacruz7343 it makes me excited every time i work out!!!
the max 30 is amazing ngl. it kicks your butt but it's super fast (30-45 mins). I'm just starting month 2 so I'm not sure about the results.
i wish it came with meal planning
How much weight did you lose
For me Pure Cardio or Max Interval Circruit is the hardest workout ever......
You rock! Thank you for doing these reviews.... I did insanity before but was wondering if I should re-do or the max.
Thank you!
Now do Asylum vs Max 30.
Good call! I will look into that
Insanity came out in 2009.. p90x was in 2003-2005 which came out before insanity but either way good review I just got Beachbody on demand since I’m stuck inside now and I love p90x 1,2 and 3 and I also like all the insanity’s. body beast for lifting and then i usually do insanity for cardio. I usually eat a lot so I can do both workouts each day I don’t recommend doing that unless your body is up for it just don’t overwork yourself! Anyway point being if you don’t have Beachbody workouts go get them!
Dre Fore Same. I did Beachbody On Demand at the gym with Body Beast, but I might get it back to do Max 30 at home for awhile until gym opens up again
Insanity is harder than Insanity max 30
I love all of his workouts t 25 was great too his dancing workout also
+joseph sudler, sr. awesome! His dancing workout is definitely a ton of fun!
+joseph sudler, sr.
I can problely Browr from my Cosin who uses T25. But Am insane thought Insanely max out 30 would be a better chose... I have only 7 months to get into shape before my wedding.
@@BobSharpe what is his dancing workout called?
I did insanity then max 30. Max 30 didnt really challenge me.. if yur starting out hit max 30 THEN insanity original.
its like if you have the Willpower then do the Insanity but if you want lose and get a quick workout then do Max 30. I lost 35 lbs in 60 days with Insanity (but I couldn't wait for it to be over) and I lost 25 lbs with Max 30 but I am still doing it and love it.
Definitely fair points! Also congrats and great work kicking over 60 pounds in total!
That’s awesome man congrats , any tips for the max 30 program ? I’m about to give that a try
I tried insanity, and it killed my knees. I started with it every day, then I had to take constant breaks because my knees were hurting too bad and I couldn't work out.
I'll do a couple of rounds of T25, then I might actually think about getting max 30
Alfredo Fabbricatore You are going to rock T25! Great to have you in the groups too!
+Bob Sharpe i have done Max 30 Month 2 and now doing Month 2 Insanity well for sure Max 30 Fight Night 2 is kinda insane superhumanlike but overal Month 2 Insanity is more intense then Max 30... do you agree?
+Jazz Devil good point on Month 2 - do you think it's based on the length of regular insanity vs max 30 that makes it more tough?
I dunno but i stopped with Insanity Month 2 because for me the 2nd Month after a workout i felt imense pressure on my chest, i'm still in recovery mode and it will take a couple days more to feel better again.... SAFETY FIRST!
but Insanity has a big pause in between but for me it was just too intense :(
it's a downer but when i'm "ok" again i'm thinking to go back where it all started for me and that's P90X3 :)
+Jazz Devil sounds good - and you are right safety first - always important!!!
*****
We are now almost 2 months further and i'm doing P90X3 , this workout works for me, i feel better, i'm slimming down and i'm trying to get the best out of 30 minutes!
Have you done P90X3 and did you love it... also were your results to you liking?
I feel like most of the times the shortest time is a killer
Sometimes, yes! Cram in an hour into a 30 min session!
All your videos are so helpful thanks. Do they come with recipes books?
+Liz Rodriguez yes indeed!
I love how Bob sharpe replie on each coment
Yes I try!! 😄
Ugh, if only it wasn't so expensive!!
RAVEN HAYWARD trust me I hear you on that - but at least this one is something you keep forever vs having to pay monthly for a trainer/etc - that is how I looked at it.
That’s true but if you were to get a 10 dollar membership at a gym for one year it’d still be cheaper to buy insanity because most gyms have an annual fee of like 40-50 bucks. plus you can do it at home, no time driving to the gym and walking around the gym not knowing what to do!
Is it okay to do both insanity and insanity max30?
+Esteban Martinez sure if you want to do that, just be sure to eat right so you are gaining the max benefit out of the program's endurance.
Bob Sharpe
I keep stopping each program I'm having a hard time. Is there any tips on motivating yourself to keep pushing play?
Hey Bob, I just finished Insanity last week and now after a week’s rest I started insanity Max 30.. the workout was def burning my lungs which hasn’t happened as much when i was doing insanity.. but i noticed that calories burned during max 30 were significantly lower than insanity(duh! the duration!) but I was wondering if that would mean Max 30 won’t be as effective as Insanity?
Your thoughts ?
That is a fair point that it does burn less calories; however I have found that people's peak heart rate has helped their endurance & VO2 max heart rate stay high throughout the day (in English...that means burning more calories throughout the entire day). Where the formula fits together in a perfect way is in the nutrition. Don't follow the INSANITY nutrition guide with max 30, follow the Max 30 guide which has programming for the assumed calorie burn alongside of what type of activity you do throughout the rest of your waking hours. Keep rocking it!
What program would you recommend a 38 year old, 5' 7" obese Asian, 260 lbs, to do?
Benjamin Burnley look alike!! LMFAO 🤣
What's the difference between the deluxe and basic kit? Compare please..thanks
I think if you start out with Insanity Max 30 if you starting to get back into shape it's 30 minutes a day in my opinion insanity is more for like it's a little longer about 45 minutes and it's more for like polishing up your body after you have finished Insanity Max 30 and you're looking for a challenge insanity will probably give me that challenge so I would kind of do the reverse I would use insanity max 30 it has a shorter workout setup about 30 minutes a day which anyone can do . insanity is more for an immediate and advanced because I had a friend he would tell him he will be sore every day and I made the suggestion to him why not try and Insanity Max 30 and your next cycle and switch back and forth with insanity and I also suggested to my friend why not try T25 and combine it with Insanity Max 30
How many workouts are there. I have the demand on my TV and I only see 13 workouts.
If you have the BOD library you'll have them all. Unless you're speaking specifically about Max 30? In which case you have 12
I started Insanity in early March. I am now on week 5 and I have only lost 14 lbs. Now to give you a little history, I weighed in at 326lbs. I am eating about 1500-1800 calories per day and working out 6 days a week without skipping any days. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong that I cannot drop any more weight. Help!!!!
Stacy Gross eating to much calories try intermitting fasting
Og insanity still best
Max 30 is more fun to in my opinion :)
Is it good for skinny guys?
Yes it can be, combined with on point nutrition
Anyone having problems doing these?? I'm on the second week day 3 of insanity and I LOVE IT! I dont want to miss anything, however, I have never in my life had ankle problems till now. They feel so week when I just stand and I gotta get through today's workout like this. I dont want to cause a long term problem that will mess with my results in the future. Any advice would be appreciated. TIA!
Do you have Beachbody on Demand? If so try out P90X X Stretch. It is long (58 mins) but it works so well to stretch and strengthen up your legs and areas that can help you go stronger in your Insanity workouts. I do X Stretch now every Sunday for that purpose
@@BobSharpe I do. Thank you very much. I'm going to start doing that and see if it helps!
Hey could you do a quick video showing just how big the portion tubs are? Specifically the protein tub. Thanks!
+Matthew Richard Will do - thanks for the suggestion!
Which one is better for pure weight(fat) lost and lets say I have time to do the original insanity. Which one is still better?
+Juliana Cerpas I still like Max 30 over Insanity (my humble opinion). The two big reasons: 1. I really enjoy the resistance-style tabata training that is included in Max 30, along with the awesome ab exercises. 2. The nutrition plan is spot on...easy to follow and works very well.
+Bob Sharpe How much is the average weight loss for this program?
Juliana Cerpas it's hard to say based on the starting points of many people. I'd say people who start out in the "overweight" category that I've helped with Max 30 average 25 pounds lost in 60 days.
oh ok. Thank you for all your help and keep up the good work Bob!
im on week 8 of insanity, looking forward to max 30 i guess
...and in comparison to the Asylum? ☺
Great vid btw. x
+gagzy1989 thanks for stopping by. I would have to say Asylum would be the graduate program of the two - out of the league of these two for that purpose...after you do either Max 30 or reg Insanity, then it's time to take it to the Sports and do the Asylum!
as you said, insanity max 30 is harder tha insanity... so should i start with insanity and then go wuth the max, or i go with max 30 even if it kills me?
+Vicente Peñailillo go full board with Max 30 - you got this! And use this video to help zero in on how you can modify to take advantage of the program and rock your results: th-cam.com/video/rUnqe_VCPBM/w-d-xo.html
Lol idk which is harder! Some say Insanity is harder then Max 30 and some say it's the other way around! 🤣🤔 Me I'm pretty fit I can almost make it through a whole workout but it I'm spent afterwards!! 😁👍I've been doing T25 for years and it's a piece of cake now but now I've upped it to insanity!
Insanity is 80 minutes
Which is better P90X3 or Insanity Max 30? I was on bedrest for 5 years so I lost a lot of muscle. I don't want to burn fat off. I don't have any to lose. I want to gain strength in my muscle and my heart.
+Blake Smith sorry to hear that, but I respect your focus and drive to rock the future! I would say P90X3 based on your goals, or even Body Beast - that way you can focus on building up the muscle and mass, and then roll from there as you'd like.
Thank you!
What did you think of T25? (If you did those tapes). I'm in the first week now. I finished Max 30 a few month ago and like you I loved it!
T25 is good, and I would recommend it as a stepping stone to Max 30 - you may find it a bit less intense vs Max 30, although the weight incorporation it has is nice if you like the weights :-)
Bob Sharpe thanks for the feedback :)
Would you say Max 30 is an upgrade to T25 Gamma . I have been doing Gamma for the last 6 months !!
Yes absolutely...while you won't have the weights, the intensity of the Max 30 moves certainly makes this a step up from the Gamma. Think "Delta" minus weights!
Question: How would you compare Insanity Max 30 with 22 Minute Hard Corp since both are 60 days?
both
how can i get the CD
Unfortunately the CD/DVDs are no longer made. Now it's all offered through the unlimited streaming packages: sweetlifefitness.net/go/bod
What gives you better results? Max 30 or Shaun Week?
lol nvm. That was a dumb question. Shaun week is only 1 week of workout. So obviously Max 30 would give you better results.
But what’s your input on Shaun Week though?
Regular insanity is harder on the calves. Skip the butt kicks in the warm ups.
I assume that following the workout routines correctly won't result in loose skin?
Hi
I just finished first week of Insanity didn't drop any weight but I'm into it.
I have beef, breast chicken and tofu for most of my meals. Any food in order to provide my work out?
Be sure to follow the plan that comes with the program. I had to learn the hard way but honestly the plan they provide will work if followed to a T
So, I'm a guy and I've just turned 19, I'm 6'2" and 115kg. Now I'm ashamed of how I've let myself go over the years, I'm not afraid to admit that so I'm looking for an exercise option to do. I'm just about to start university or college as you might call it. My main goal is to loose all of this fat I've accumulated and as a bonus to build some muscle. I'm not a sporty guy due to my weight but I can cook and will have no problem with my diet. What do you think my best option should be? P90X, Insanity, Insanity Max 30 or even some other workout I haven't heard of. If you could advise me on what to do, I'd be so grateful because to be honest, I need to change and I'm up for the challenge. Many thanks.
William Medhurst it's all good dude, we are all human and even I left myself drop the ball a bit this past Holiday season. I recently did INSANITY Max 30 to melt down the body fat, feel free to check out my results directly. Personally with how well the program was structured (and it fits very good into a busy schedule), I would recommend Max 30 for your goals: th-cam.com/video/eEh0dLRtRtg/w-d-xo.html
Hey asusual good review.I do agree with you that Max 30 is hard but its fun. I have completed 3 rounds of Max 30 and lost good amount of weight. But now i have hit plateau and looking for some change.what s your thoughts on doing original Insanity after Max 30? I love shaun T n his work outs and my aim is to loose more weight.
Definitely a great idea so that you can mix it up a bit. If you feel you hit a plateau, changing up your routine can certainly do great benefit to your overall results and taking you to the next level. Keep rocking and keep me posted on your journey!!
Bob Sharpe
Thank you for ur reply. I have started Original insanity and loving it. Is it important to do recover week after 4 weeks? Or is it ok to jump straight on to the 2nd month workouts? I really appreciate your help and good work. Big thank you
Insanity
I read a review about Insanity’s food guide and it stated that it’s 40% protein, 40% carbs, and 20% fat. Is that correct?
And what would happen if I really can’t meet my protein goals? Is there any wiggle room? (I am tracking my macros but can’t seem to hit my protein goals everyday!)
I think insanity max 30 is easier... when I tried the long insanity version, I nearly passed out. I could barely get passed working out for 20 minutes.
This made me laugh. Same thing here...I did that video once and that was it for me
I did week 1 of insanity and got good results but I became so bored of it. So hopefully max 30 is better.
Any comments on the original Insanity post warm-up stretch?
Hi great vid i keep hearing that it takes your curves away im not trying to loose weight im 145 but i do want to get fit but i still want my curves i guess what i want to know is the body outcome i guess
Who win ...... INSANITY Max 30 VS MAX 25
What is the deffrence.
+שני בדש I think you mean Focus T25? If so, I am going to also go with Max 30 for average people, and T25 for beginners. The reason is that I still really appreciate the idea of the focused abs workouts and flow of Max 30 vs Focus T25. The variety in Max 30 (in my humble opinion of course) is much greater and keeps it interesting.
thanks
Did you really, honestly, just do 30min of Max 30 a day or did you do other workouts in a day as well?
Hey Bob,
Thanks for this comparison. Well, i am 29 and 65 kg with above average fitness. My goal right now is to build my stamina as i want to prepare for my upcoming Himalayan hiking. So without loosing much weight , i want to increase strength and stamina. Can i consider MAX30 to achieve that?
Absolutely. In fact I have used Max 30 to increase strength and endurance to power through the bloody Spartan race OCRs.
What are the food containers for ...? Do they come with the max 30 workout package..?
I love your videos! You are so funny yet informative. Just a quick question, I am a highschooler and I play tennis for our school. Do you think it is possible for me to do Insanity and play tennis? We have practice everyday after school but occasionally 2-3 matches every week. thank you!!!
+Matthew Kim great question - and I think you'll be happy to know that Shaun T's favorite sport is Tennis - he plays it regularly, so definitely feel free!!
Oh sweet!! So do you think doing Insanity in the morning before school, then tennis after school would be a good idea?
+Matthew Kim absolutely - always stay focused on the nutrition guide that comes along with it...that's the key that unlocks the door to the INSANITY results!
what I do is wake up an hour before I would regularly wake up for school, and just do the program and shower afterword. I wouldn't do it after school since I'm usually beat, that's what I recommend.
I am on my fifth week of T25 but, not seeing alot of results. Would you recommend Max 30?
Yes and not only Max 30 but follow the nutrition plan that comes with it...you'll know from Day #1 how epic it is!
I very much enjoy Max 30 more than the original. Love the original, but Max 30 always changes the moves about every 30 or 60 seconds. However, I do find that Max Out Sweat is harder than both Friday Fights
There's an application on android for insanity max 30 please???
Yes there is, via the BOD app! Get it on GooglePlay with your BOD account: sweetlifefitness.net/go/bod
I did insanity 3 years ago and lost a good amount of weight. I need to go back to working out I did T25 3 times (never fully completed it because of personal reasons) should I start it with Max30? I want a workout that will put me through hell but have amazing results
Absolutely! Max 30 is what you are looking for when you say "I wan a workout that will put me through hell" - it's tough but it produces some of the best results ever! Just be sure to follow their nutrition guide to a T
Bob Sharpe thanks!!
I would like to try insanity 30! I have just started insanity. follow my journey! I really want to do hip hop abs after insanity
+emwhybee awesome!! Definitely keep me posted on your journey
I am on week 1 round 2 of insanity max 30 and I love it so much. Could I do these work outs indefinitely or do I need to take break?
hi everybody my names Christopher I'm from England and I weigh 225 pounds can I do the insanity program with my ostopina weak bones in my knees I'm 29 years old . please respond many thanks Christopher
I would definitely check with the doctor to make sure (most MDs now know what INSANITY is or at least the basic concept...if not let them know it's High Intensity Interval Training, otherwise known as HIIT).
