What is INSANITY: The Asylum?
INSANITY:
The Asylum is being called the most difficult home exercise program
ever devised. That’s not an easily proven claim, but this is certainly
the most challenging DVD workout ever released by Beachbody and Shaun T.
Asylum presents a unique challenge even to seasoned fitness buffs and
extreme athletes.
Asylum
is a sports-specific training system that focuses on building strength
and improving balance, speed, agility, power, and coordination. The
progressive sports drills are inspired by the habits and routines of
professional athletes. Shaun T. has said that the original INSANITY
workout was just a warm up for what Asylum delivers.
Unlike
the original INSANITY (60 day program) or P90X (90 day program), the
goal here is to deliver dramatic results and maximize sports performance
in just 30 days. Asylum includes seven instructional DVDs, an Agility
Ladder and Speed Rope to improve form and sharpen focus, the Asylum
Calendar to track progress, Shaun T’s Eat to Win Nutrition Guide, and
ongoing online support.
Does INSANITY: The Asylum live up to the hype?
The
30 day Asylum workout schedule is a varied mixture of cardiovascular
routines and intense strength training, designed to build lean muscle
and reduce excess fat. But this is a rigorous and demanding program — it
won’t magically transform your body, build lean muscle, give you ripped
abs and 5% body fat. As with any fitness program, dramatic results are
achieved through unusual dedication, focus, consistency and hard work.
The
good news? The meticulous structure of the Asylum workout system and
the motivation of Shaun T. will provide a clear and comprehensive map to
dramatic results in 30 just days — if you’re willing to stay on track
and put in the effort.
What makes INSANITY: The Asylum different?
Among
the most unique and exciting elements of Asylum are the new Hybrid
Calendars. The program ships with three different, complete 30 day
workout calendars: 1. Asylum, 2. Asylum/Insanity, 3. Asylum/P90X.
Although designed as a 30 day program, Asylum lets you continue into
month two and three with varied workouts, incorporating programs that
you’re already familiar with.
