about myself, where i'm at. i've never been in this kind of shape. >> c'mon, keep going, keep going, keep going! pump through it! pump through it! ...c'mon, your legs, your abs and your shoulders are all working, but look at the control in the body. ...you can frickin' do it! so work! [♪...] ...with insanity, it's not about how many reps you can do. it's about doing the best that you can do. these guys are doing power jumps. darren, he's going super fast, he's really fit, he's been doing insanity for a while. leah, she's going a little bit slower, she just started insanity. that's the beauty of insanity. there's only one number that counts. 100, as in 100%. >> with insanity, i've found that from the first minute that i started it, i was in for a challenge. i started off weighing 212 pounds. after 60 days, i was back into a size 32 waist. i actually was fitting into the same size that i wore in high school. there's no gimmicks, there's no weights, there's no bands,

there's nothing. it's you, your body and listening to what shaun t. says. >> is that body changing? c'mon, ready? drill down! back! four push-ups! c'mon! four! three! >> let me just show you what i've done... and i'm really proud of the way i look today, as a 47-year-old guy. this is a program that i will never stop. when i look at myself in the mirror now, i do not see the same person. the face is different. the body is totally different. to go from being out of shape to the best shape of my life is just phenomenal. >> if you don't like what you see when you look in the mirror and you're not doing anything about it, that's crazy. it's insane, especially when the body that you want is only two months away. [bang, cracking...] >> announcer: you want insane results in 60 days? you won't get them by watching

insanity... you got to do it. >> first time i saw the insanity infomercial was probably two years ago. now here, two years later, i'm standing in front of those same cameras doing the same infomercial. i'm living proof that you can do it. >> announcer: it's time to take the insanity challenge. time to stop wishing you had a great body and start working for it. yes, insanity is a challenge-- probably the hardest workout ever put on dvd. >> every day was a struggle but i pushed myself and i got further and further. >> announcer: there's a method behind the madness... shaun t.'s max interval training. traditional interval workouts feature extended periods of moderate exercise interspersed with short bursts of intense effort. but shaun flipped that on its head. with max interval training, you do extended bursts of intense exercise and only stop long enough to catch your breath. >> how's max interval training feel? >> whoo! >> announcer: this revolutionary training method produces record-setting results. with max interval training, you can lose 30 pounds

in only 60 days. >> in the first 60 days, i lost 38 pounds. >> announcer: that's a year's worth of results in just two months' time. so... choosing insanity's not so crazy after all. and with insanity, you don't need to spend endless hours in the gym to get results. it's about 40 minutes a day right in your own home. in month 1, you'll do five different max interval workouts: plyo for sculpted legs and glutes... resistance moves for upper body definition... pure cardio that melts fat like butter... insane abs for a crazy core. and once a week, recovery-- at least that's what they call it-- but it doesn't mean you won't sweat. in month 2, you'll dig even deeper, with four new workouts that will leave you standing in a puddle of sweat: max interval circuit, max interval plyo, max cardio conditioning and max recovery. the intervals are longer. the rest periods aren't. hey, it's called insanity for a reason.

>> insanity is... insane. insane! >> announcer: we'll also include four free gifts. you get the insanity wall calendar-- shaun shows you which workouts to do each day so you get the most insane results... >> i did it! >> announcer: the fitness guide walks you through your 60-day transformation step by step. it's short and to the point-- we want you sweating, not reading. >> one of my favorite things about the workout really was how simple everything was. >> announcer: the elite nutrition plan supplies the fuel your body needs for your insanity workouts. you'll be eating five meals a day so your metabolism skyrockets! >> i didn't really know what eating good consisted of until i started following the nutritional guide. >> announcer: plus you get free online support from shaun t and thousands of men and women just like you who are starting the insanity challenge every day. insanity comes with everything you need to succeed, and sold separately, the insanity system would cost over $500. but you won't pay $500-- not even close.

order now and insanity is yours for only three payments of $39.95. but call in the next 8 minutes and you'll also receive two free bonus workouts: core, cardio and balance, with insane sports drills so your body moves as good as it looks... and shaun t's fit test that you take every two weeks to track your insane progress. on day 1, you'll be humbled. on day 60, you'll be ripped. and don't go crazy waiting weeks for insanity to arrive. order now and you'll receive a free upgrade to express delivery, so you can start sweating in just three to five business days. >> i was drenched after about six minutes. >> announcer: insanity comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. if it's too tough for you, no problem. at least you tried. send it back and we'll refund the entire purchase price. but if you've got what it takes to conquer the insanity challenge, send us your before and after photos and we'll send you this free t-shirt. you can't buy it in stores.

but you can earn it. >> here's proof that i earned this t-shirt. >> announcer: so take the insanity challenge. commit 60 days of your life to getting in the best shape of your life. anything else is insane. >> the only way this program does not work is if you don't do it-- that's the only way. if you press play every day, you're gonna see some results. >> announcer: call now. [♪...] call the number on your screen. [♪...] the preceding has been a paid presentation for insanity, brought to you by beachbody.
