[♪...] ask someone who's heard of insanity what they think of it and chances are the answer will be... >> this program is not easy. >> it was so hard. >> i've never done a workout as hard as that. >> it was insane. >> announcer: that's true. insanity is extremely hard, but that doesn't mean it's crazy. in fact, if you ask any of the tens of thousands of people who have done insanity, they'll tell you it makes perfect sense. because when you lose the weight you need to lose in only 60 days... >> i used to wear a size 12 and now i'm wearing a size 6. >> in the first 60 days, i lost 38 pounds. >> announcer: when you see ripped abs in only 60 days... >> i've never seen my abs. >> these are the show muscles, right? >> i feel like i have some pretty good abs. >> announcer: gain supreme confidence... >> i've been skydiving. >> i gained back the ability to do this. >> announcer: and get the best body of your life in only 60 days... >> before i knew it, the body fat was just melting off my body.
1:02 pm
>> i didn't look like this 60 days ago. >> announcer: what's so crazy about that? >> takes real work, takes real effort, and guess what? that's just the warm-up. and i'm smiling 'cause i love it. [♪...] >> aah...! push, come on, dig! this is where it hurts. don't give up, you can do it-- come on. i can't hear you. >> i'm hurting, baby. >> there you go! that's it! that's it, girl! >> announcer: insanity is the hardest workout ever put on dvd, but it's the only one that will give you a year's worth of results in only 60 days. >> i started out at 205, i'm 168... a lean, mean insanity machine. >> announcer: you don't need to drag yourself to the gym day after day. step out of bed... you're in the gym. you don't need to buy a bunch of expensive equipment. use your body to transform your body. you don't need to find
1:03 pm
hours of free time to get your workout in. insanity's only 40 minutes a day. >> insanity is a shortcut to the body you want. yes, the road is rough, but it'll get you there six times faster. i designed insanity to give you a year's worth of results in 60 days. you want to take a whole year or you want to take two months? i think you're crazy not to try insanity. [bang, cracking] >> i am that person that was sitting on the couch when insanity came on and i said, "no way." >> go, push, knees up, abs tight! go! >> heather: i knew that i needed to change something about myself and i knew that i wanted to be a hot wife when my husband got back from afghanistan, ordered it reluctantly and then threw up on the first day. >> that's what i want from you. keep pushing, y'all. keep pushing. >> a lot of people say insanity is crazy, it's insane. >> this is beyond insanity. they need a new word for insanity 'cause this is too crazy.
1:04 pm
>> and it is, it's hard, but if you stick with it, after 30 days, it's not so crazy anymore. you're seeing results and it's becoming easier to make it through the whole workout without stopping as much. insanity was not in my comfort zone at all. so far with insanity i've lost 31 pounds. insanity and beachbody gave me so much more than a better body. it gave me a new lifestyle that i can share with my husband for a long time. [bang, cracking...] >> announcer: how does shaun give you such insane results in record time? it's a revolutionary sports science called max interval training. >> with traditional interval training, you spend three minutes working out at a moderate pace and only go hard for 30 seconds. but with max interval training, you work out as hard as you can go for three minutes and only take a 30-second rest-- just enough to catch your breath. you want a workout
1:05 pm
that's mostly rest? insanity's not for you. you want a workout where you're drenched in sweat because you're burning so much fat? let's do it. >> you know, when you into the max interval training, you know, it's amazing how much you get into that 45 minutes, and then you're dripping wet and then you're sore all over. >> max interval training! [group yells] aah! >> i didn't want something that i would have to do for a year to see any results. i wanted something that was gonna be fast. you know, i wanted that body tomorrow. >> i know you're tired, but this is where, if you push yourself, you're gonna see the results. >> chris: in the first 60 days, i lost 38 pounds. you know, after that i kept going, i kept going and kept going... now i'm up to 53 pounds lost. i went from 26% body fat to 8% body fat. to be in this kind of shape, having this kind of body, yeah, now i like it a lot. [bang, cracking...] >> people say insanity's insane. i think it's smart. if you're gonna work out, why work out one muscle group at a time? let me show you what i mean. in push-up jacks, you're working
1:06 pm
your shoulders, your chest, your arms, your back and your abs. now we're gonna go into ski abs. in ski abs, you work your obliques, you work your shoulders, you work your chest, you work your legs. now squat to plank, you work your glutes, your work your quads, you work your lower abs and you work your shoulders. look, you're getting a full-body workout. get in, dig deep, get it done. that's what insanity's all about. ...three... two... get up, power jumps right away, go, go, go, go, go! come on... push... push... >> i love that you're doing cardio and strength all together. you are sweating, you're getting your heart rate up and you're lifting weights with your own body, all at the same time. so i love that it's all combined together. i sweat the most i have ever sweat in insanity. it's just... hair's soaking wet, dripping off me, disgusting sweat, and i loved it. i feel pretty good about myself. i'm a mother of two, i'm in my mid-30s and i feel like i have some pretty good abs after having two kids.
1:07 pm
>> that's how you wanna push. she's breathing, she's focused, she's in it. >> insanity is definitely well-named-- there are many times i'm thinking, "he is crazy," and then i realize, "oh, that's probably where he got the name." >> i call it insanity for two reasons. number one: this workout is crazy. number two: you're gonna see insane results. the only reason insanity won't work is if you don't do the work. >> it makes dramatic changes to all kinds of muscles in your body-- i mean, these are the show muscles, right? if more people knew the kind of results that you can get in such a little bit of time, doing something as effective-- i mean, why wouldn't anybody wanna jump on that? >> you gotta get there! you gotta get back there before i say "get there!" that goes for you at home! >> first of all, i've never been in this good a shape in my entire life. i haven't weighed this much since i was probably in my early 20s-- i'm 42 now. so it's been a good 20 years since i've weighed this little. i've never had six-pack abs like i do today. i survived insanity and now, i've gotten myself in the best shape of my life.
1:08 pm
>> i'm gonna take you from good to great, and for those people who are beginners, i'm gonna take you from beginner to advanced. and if you're already strong, insanity is that kind of program that's gonna make you stronger because it's gonna push you, it's gonna make you push yourself. >> insanity really appealed to me because it seemed like such a challenge. i can remember one instance where we were doing moving push-ups. i got to one of them and i was like, "i cannot do one more," and i was a split-second away from quitting and he was like, "don't quit! don't stop!" >> shaun: you're right there! you're right there, c'mon, go! go! c'mon! >> i just told myself, o.k., jonathan, it's just for 60 days. just do it, get through it and afterwards, you can go back to doing your normal routine. but the thing is, afterwards, i didn't wanna go back to my normal routine. >> yeah, i mean, i like to say that once you've done an insanity workout, every other workout becomes easy. >> i'm very, very satisfied with the results that i got with insanity. i gained muscle mass. i went from 19% body fat down to 9% body fat. so you got the abs, got the shoulders... i can do a little
1:09 pm
chest pump... [laughs] but... man, i look good, i feel good and got these results in 60 days. i got out of insanity exactly what i put into it. i made a decision that i was gonna give it 100% of my effort and i got 100% of the results that i wanted. >> all you have to do is give 100% and you have succeeded. [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
1:10 pm
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
1:11 pm
legs and glutes... resistov 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 reeriods 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
1:12 pm
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 20 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.
1:13 pm
and don't go crazy waiting weeks for insanity tarrive. 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. [♪...]
1:14 pm
call the number on your screen. [♪...] >> this workout is all about you using your body to create the best body you can get. o.k., so go-- c'mon, frankie. ...everyone's body is different. and there are so many people out there that look at a magazine and they say "i wanna look like that person," instead of saying "i wanna look the best that i can look." and the only way that you're gonna look the best that you can look is using you as your own equipment. >> when i first started, i could not do a push-up, not a single push-up, barely a girl push-up, let alone a boy push-up. and by the time that i got through, i am doing moving push-ups, squat push-ups, power push-ups. i dare anybody to challenge me to a push-up contest because i'm like, i'm in it! >> c'mon! two more! push! in and out! go! >> i liked the fact that it had no weights, no equipment and
1:15 pm
that was a selling point for me, 'cause if i had to buy any extra equipment, i would have never bought the program. in 60 days, i lost 37 pounds, 17 inches and three dress sizes. i have a waist now, i didn't before-- everything used to be just a box. so now i have curves and i have arms and i have legs-- i have a body now that i didn't have. this year we went on vacation to hawaii and that was the first time that i was able to wear a two-piece bikini and actually look-- i'm not wearing a cover-up, i'm not wearing a towel, i can wear this two-piece bikini and i'm rockin' maui. >> you can do it! take the rest when you need it. otherwise, just keep pushing! >> the biggest thing that this program really has done for me is giving me a sense of purpose again. i feel so great about myself. i'm just a better me. [bang, crackling...] >> if you're scared to try insanity, it's totally understandable because when you look at it, it can be very
1:16 pm
intimidating. but i challenge you to try it. and if you don't get the best workout that you've ever had, send it back. >> to stay with insanity, you have to make the commitment to press play every single day. as you do it, it never gets easy. i've had friends ask me, "does this thing ever get easy?" and i said, "no, it should never be easy 'cause you should always push beyond your limits." when i'm, working out and shaun t.'s hollering and yelling, it feels like you're right there in the gym with him. >> shaun t.: higher knees! go! c'mon! there you go! that's it! that's what i'm talking about! >> at 39 years old, i'm in better shape now than i was as a swimmer in high school. everything has changed on my body. i've got definition in places i've never had it before. i've got ripped muscles, chiseled abs-- it's not just a cardio program. i've got muscles now that i didn't have 20 years ago. so insanity is a can't fail program. it's a no-brainer if you wanna get in shape. >> you can't make a mistake with insanity. you get the calendar, you get the nutrition guide, you get the
1:17 pm
workouts, you get me-- i mean, you can't go wrong. you have everything you need to motivate you to get to the end of that 60 days. >> when i started the program, i was 218 pounds. when i completed my 60 days, i weighed in at 178 pounds. right? that's crazy. i'm 45 years old, guys. >> when i started insanity, i was about 205 pounds. and by the time i was finished, i was all the way down to 170 pounds. that's 15 pounds less than i weighed when i graduated high school. >> i thought i would lose maybe 15 pounds for the whole program. but 29 pounds? i never expected that. now i see a completely different person. i love that person. >> when i started out with insanity, i felt like i was a little soft, and i'm 59 years old, but most people would say, "well, you're 59 years old. what do you expect?" well, what do i expect? i expect to look like i did when i was 16 years old. i feel pretty good for 59. >> after committing myself and pushing myself for 60 days, i got the results and got the body
1:18 pm
that i wanted. >> i've lost three inches around my waist, so i knew that there was a beach body in there somewhere. i just had to reveal it. >> after 60 days of completing insanity, i feel like a whole new person. >> these were the pants i wore before insanity. and these are the pants i'm wearing after insanity. i lost a total of 73 pounds. my waist size went from a size 38 on a good day to a size 31 now. this t-shirt is my badge of honor. this t-shirt reminds me every day that i wear it that i earned it, that i did it, that i competed in this program and that i won. >> this shirt means everything to me. i'm really proud that i earned it. >> this is my insanity t-shirt and i absolutely earned it. >> i earned this one. if anybody wants one, they gotta earn it themselves. >> did i earn this t-shirt? you bet i earned it. [bang, crackling...] >> announcer: are you ready
1:19 pm
to spend the next 60 days of your life to getting in the best shape of your life? >> i saw it and after about the 10th time, i said, "you know what? i gotta do it." i knew that this was gonna change my life forever. >> announcer: insanity is the hardest workout ever put on dvd, but it's the only one that will give you a year's worth of results in only 60 days. insanity starts with month 1. five max interval workouts: plyo, resistance, cardio, abs and recovery. and just when you think you're fit, you'll start month 2. you'll dig even deeper with four new workouts that will leave you face down in a puddle of sweat. plus you get the insanity wall calendar, the fitness guide, elite nutrition, and get free online support from shaun t. and thousands of insaniacs like you starting the insanity challenge every day. order now and you can try insanity for just three payments of only $39.95. that's right, you get this, for
1:20 pm
only three payments of $39.95, and when you call in the next 12 minutes, you'll also receive these two free bonus workouts. and don't go crazy waiting weeks for insanity to arve, because you also get 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: so stop watching insanity-- and try it. we'll even give you 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 your entire purchase price. but if you stick with it for 60 days, send us your before and after photos and we'll send you this free t-shirt. so take the insanity challenge. commit 60 days of your life to getting in the best shape of your life. anything else is insane. call now. [♪...] call the number on your screen.
1:21 pm
>> argh! c'mon, y'all! let's go! sprint it off! go! c'mon, c'mon, c'mon! get it, get it, get it! ...the stronger you get, the better you'll feel. ...c'mon, use the core! ...down and in. c'mon, you can do it, you can do it, one more, down-- all right, take a break, take a break, take a break-- don't compromise form, y'all. ...i'm not trying to hurt you. just trying to make you better. ...she trying to be aun t.! ...push! push! ...are you with us? come on! ...core is contracted as you go down-- c'mon! ...i'll admit going as hard as you can go sounds crazy, but your body is capable of amazing things. by the second week of insanity, you'll realize "i can do this." the workouts are hard in the beginning, but i guarantee you, your body will be hard at the end. >> this is the results i got. completely excited about it and happy to see i got definition in my chest-- i never had that before-- definitely the six-pack, the obliques. this insanity program works
1:22 pm
absolutely everything: your arms, your shoulders, your neck, your chest, your core-- especially your core. it's just a great feeling to look like this. >> you can do the same thing with your body-- come on, y'all! c'mon! >> insanity has totally changed my life. it really is who i am now. >> somebody's in t house with you right now? tell 'em to get over there and get their hand out so you can feel the power. >> my body's changed dramatically as you can see from my before and after pictures, and it continues to change every single day with the program. >> you can see there in her face, she's working. how do you feel? c'mon, go, y'all! >> insanity provided me with another level of confidence that i didn't have before and you know, i just feel really great 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.
1:23 pm
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
1:24 pm
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.

1:30 pm
1:31 pm
[♪...] ask someone who's heard of insanity what they think of it and chances are the answer will be... >> this program is not easy. >> it was so hard. >> i've never done a workout as hard as that. >> it was insane. >> announcer: that's true. insanity is extremely hard, but that doesn't mean it's crazy. in fact, if you ask any of the tens of thousands of people who have done insanity, they'll tell you it makes perfect sense. because when you lose the weight you need to lose in only 60 days... >> i used to wear a size 12 and now i'm wearing a size 6. >> in the first 60 days, i lost 38 pounds. >> announcer: when you see ripped abs in only 60 days... >> i've never seen my abs. >> these are the show muscles, right? >> i feel like i have some pretty good abs. >> announcer: gain supreme confidence... >> i've been skydiving. >> i gained back the ability to do this. >> announcer: and get the best body of your life in only 60 days... >> before i knew it, the body fat was just melting off my body. >> i didn't look like this 60 days ago.
1:32 pm
>> announcer: what's so crazy about that? >> takes real work, takes real effort, and guess what? that's just the warm-up. and i'm smiling 'cause i love it. [♪...] >> aah...! push, come on, dig! this is where it hurts. don't give up, you can do it-- come on. i can't hear you. >> i'm hurting, baby. >> there you go! that's it! that's it, girl! >> announcer: insanity is the hardest workout ever put on dvd, but it's the only one that will give you a year's worth of results in only 60 days. >> i started out at 205, i'm 168... a lean, mean insanity machine. >> announcer: you don't need to drag yourself to the gym day after day. step out of bed... you're in the gym. you don't need to buy a bunch of expensive equipment. use your body to transform your body. you don't need to find hours of free time to get your workout in.
1:33 pm
insanity's only 40 minutes a day. >> insanity is a shortcut to the body you want. yes, the road is rough, but it'll get you there six times faster. i designed insanity to give you a year's worth of results in 60 days. you want to take a whole year or you want to take two months? i think you're crazy not to try insanity. [bang, cracking] >> i am that person that was sitting on the couch when insanity came on and i said, "no way." >> go, push, knees up, abs tight! go! >> heather: i knew that i needed to change something about myself and i knew that i wanted to be a hot wife when my husband got back from afghanistan, ordered it reluctantly and then threw up on the first day. >> that's what i want from you. keep pushing, y'all. keep pushing. >> a lot of people say insanity is crazy, it's insane. >> this is beyond insanity. they need a new word for insanity 'cause this is too crazy. >> and it is, it's hard, but if you stick with it, after 30
1:34 pm
days, it's not so crazy anymore. you're seeing results and it's becoming easier to make it through the whole workout without stopping as much. insanity was not in my comfort zone at all. so far with insanity i've lost 31 pounds. insanity and beachbody gave me so much more than a better body. it gave me a new lifestyle that i can share with my husband for a long time. [bang, cracking...] >> announcer: how does shaun give you such insane results in record time? it's a revolutionary sports science called max interval training. >> with traditional interval training, you spend three minutes working out at a moderate pace and only go hard for 30 seconds. but with max interval training, you work out as hard as you can go for three minutes and only take a 30-second rest-- just enough to catch your breath. you want a workout that's mostly rest? insanity's not for you.
1:35 pm
you want a workout where you're drenched in sweat because you're burning so much fat? let's do it. >> you know, when you get into the max interval training, you know, it's amazing how much you get into that 45 minutes, and then you're dripping wet and then you're sore all over. >> max interval training! [group yells] aah! >> i didn't want something that i would have to do for a year to see any results. i wanted something that was gonna be fast. you know, i wanted that body tomorrow. >> i know you're tired, but this is where, if you push yourself, you're gonna see the results. >> chris: in the first 60 days, i lost 38 pounds. you know, after that i kept going, i kept going and kept going... now i'm up to 53 pounds lost. i went from 26% body fat to 8% body fat. to be in this kind of shape, having this kind of body, yeah, now i like it a lot. [bang, cracking...] >> people say insanity's insane. i think it's smart. if you're gonna work out, why work out one muscle group at a time? let me show you what i mean. in push-up jacks, you're working your shoulders, your chest, your arms, your back and your abs.
1:36 pm
now we're gonna go into ski abs. in ski abs, you work your obliques, you work your shoulders, you work your chest, you work your legs. now squat to plank, you work your glutes, your work your quads, you work your lower abs and you work your shoulders. look, you're getting a full-body workout. get in, dig deep, get it done. that's what insanity's all about. ...three... two... get up, power jumps right away, go, go, go, go, go! come on... push... push... >> i love that you're doing cardio and strength all together. you are sweating, you're getting your heart rate up and you're lifting weights with your own body, all at the same time. so i love that it's all combined together. i sweat the most i have ever sweat in insanity. it's just... hair's soaking wet, dripping off me, disgusting sweat, and i loved it. i feel pretty good about myself. i'm a mother of two, i'm in my mid-30s and i feel like i have some pretty good abs after having two kids. >> that's how you wanna push. she's breathing, she's focused,
1:37 pm
she's in it. >> insanity is definitely well-named-- there are many times i'm thinking, "he is crazy," and then i realize, "oh, that's probably where he got the name." >> i call it insanity for two reasons. number one: this workout is crazy. number two: you're gonna see insane results. the only reason insanity won't work is if you don't do the work. >> it makes dramatic changes to all kinds of muscles in your body-- i mean, these are the show muscles, right? if more people knew the kind of results that you can get in such a little bit of time, doing something as effective-- i mean, why wouldn't anybody wanna jump on that? >> you gotta get there! you gotta get back there before i say "get there!" that goes for you at home! >> first of all, i've never been in this good a shape in my entire life. i haven't weighed this much since i was probably in my early 20s-- i'm 42 now. so it's been a good 20 years since i've weighed this little. i've never had six-pack abs like i do today. i survived insanity and now, i've gotten myself in the best shape of my life. >> i'm gonna take you from good
1:38 pm
to great, and for those people who are beginners, i'm gonna take you from beginner to advanced. and if you're already strong, insanity is that kind of program that's gonna make you stronger because it's gonna push you, it's gonna make you push yourself. >> insanity really appealed to me because it seemed like such a challenge. i can remember one instance where we were doing moving push-ups. i got to one of them and i was like, "i cannot do one more," and i was a split-second away from quitting and he was like, "don't quit! don't stop!" >> shaun: you're right there! you're right there, c'mon, go! go! c'mon! >> i just told myself, o.k., jonathan, it's just for 60 days. just do it, get through it and afterwards, you can go back to doing your normal routine. but the thing is, afterwards, i didn't wanna go back to my normal routine. >> yeah, i mean, i like to say that once you've done an insanity workout, every other workout becomes easy. >> i'm very, very satisfied with the results that i got with insanity. i gained muscle mass. i went from 19% body fat down to 9% body fat. so you got the abs, got the shoulders... i can do a little chest pump... [laughs]
1:39 pm
but... man, i look good, i feel good and got these results in 60 days. i got out of insanity exactly what i put into it. i made a decision that i was gonna give it 100% of my effort and i got 100% of the results that i wanted. >> all you have to do is give 100% and you have succeeded. [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.
1:40 pm
>> 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... resistan mes
1:41 pm
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
1:42 pm
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 20 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
1:43 pm

[♪...]
1:44 pm
call the number on your screen. [♪...] >> this workout is all about you using your body to create the best body you can get. o.k., so go-- c'mon, frankie. ...everyone's body is different. and there are so many people out there that look at a magazine and they say "i wanna look like that person," instead of saying "i wanna look the best that i can look." and the only way that you're gonna look the best that you can look is using you as your own equipment. >> when i first started, i could not do a push-up, not a single push-up, barely a girl push-up, let alone a boy push-up. and by the time that i got through, i am doing moving push-ups, squat push-ups, power push-ups. i dare anybody to challenge me to a push-up contest because i'm like, i'm in it! >> c'mon! two more! push! in and out! go! >> i liked the fact that it had no weights, no equipment and that was a selling point for me,
1:45 pm
'cause if i had to buy any extra equipment, i would have never bought the program. in 60 days, i lost 37 pounds, 17 inches and three dress sizes. i have a waist now, i didn't before-- everything used to be just a box. so now i have curves and i have arms and i have legs-- i have a body now that i didn't have. this year we went on vacation to hawaii and that was the first time that i was able to wear a two-piece bikini and actually look-- i'm not wearing a cover-up, i'm not wearing a towel, i can wear this two-piece bikini and i'm rockin' maui. >> you can do it! take the rest when you need it. otherwise, just keep pushing! >> the biggest thing that this program really has done for me is giving me a sense of purpose again. i feel so great about myself. i'm just a better me. [bang, crackling...] >> if you're scared to try insanity, it's totally understandable because when you look at it, it can be very intimidating. but i challenge you to try it.
1:46 pm
and if you don't get the best workout that you've ever had, send it back. >> to stay with insanity, you have to make the commitment to press play every single day. as you do it, it never gets easy. i've had friends ask me, "does this thing ever get easy?" and i said, "no, it should never be easy 'cause you should always push beyond your limits." when i'm, working out and shaun t.'s hollering and yelling, it feels like you're right there in the gym with him. >> shaun t.: higher knees! go! c'mon! there you go! that's it! that's what i'm talking about! >> at 39 years old, i'm in better shape now than i was as a swimmer in high school. everything has changed on my body. i've got definition in places i've never had it before. i've got ripped muscles, chiseled abs-- it's not just a cardio program. i've got muscles now that i didn't have 20 years ago. so insanity is a can't fail program. it's a no-brainer if you wanna get in shape. >> you can't make a mistake with insanity. you get the calendar, you get the nutrition guide, you get the workouts, you get me-- i mean,
1:47 pm
you can't go wrong. you have everything you need to motivate you to get to the end of that 60 days. >> when i started the program, i was 218 pounds. when i completed my 60 days, i weighed in at 178 pounds. right? that's crazy. i'm 45 years old, guys. >> when i started insanity, i was about 205 pounds. and by the time i was finished, i was all the way down to 170 pounds. that's 15 pounds less than i weighed when i graduated high school. >> i thought i would lose maybe 15 pounds for the whole program. but 29 pounds? i never expected that. now i see a completely different person. i love that person. >> when i started out with insanity, i felt like i was a little soft, and i'm 59 years old, but most people would say, "well, you're 59 years old. what do you expect?" well, what do i expect? i expect to look like i did when i was 16 years old. i feel pretty good for 59. >> after committing myself and pushing myself for 60 days, i got the results and got the body that i wanted.
1:48 pm
>> i've lost three inches around my waist, so i knew that there was a beach body in there somewhere. i just had to reveal it. >> after 60 days of completing insanity, i feel like a whole new person. >> these were the pants i wore before insanity. and these are the pants i'm wearing after insanity. i lost a total of 73 pounds. my waist size went from a size 38 on a good day to a size 31 now. this t-shirt is my badge of honor. this t-shirt reminds me every day that i wear it that i earned it, that i did it, that i competed in this program and that i won. >> this shirt means everything to me. i'm really proud that i earned it. >> this is my insanity t-shirt and i absolutely earned it. >> i earned this one. if anybody wants one, they gotta earn it themselves. >> did i earn this t-shirt? you bet i earned it. [bang, crackling...] >> announcer: are you ready to spend the next 60 days of your life to getting in
1:49 pm
