There are many options available to you for getting in shape. You can join a gym, attend fitness classes, participate in outdoor activites, or work out in the convenience of you home. That begs the question: Do home workout plans really work?
The question is not really “Do home workouts really work?”. The true question is: Are you motivated and disciplined enough to do your workout at home?
Beachbody home fitness programs are created by experts like Tony Horton, Debbie Siebers, and Shaun T. These expert trainers really know their stuff. Workouts like P90X, Slim in 6, or Insanity provide you with everything you need to get in great shape and learn to eat healthy! Even on a shoestring budget, you can make a wise purchase that will be invaluable in helping you get healthy and fit.
You may enjoy the convenience and benefits of workout at home:
- No more wasting time driving to and from the gym. 30 – 40 minutes round trip plus a few minutes for parking. Then walking from the car to the gym, locker room to store your stuff. On and on. All of this takes TIME!
- No more waiting around to use fitness equipment. How much time do you actually spend working out at the gym versus standing around waiting for equipment? Think about it!
- You can workout whenever you want, not just during the open hours of the gym. Ever arrive at the gym only find they are closed? Or how about that class you want to take but can’t because the time is not convenient?
- No more expensive gym membership fees or contracts you can’t get out of. The average cost to join a gym is $150 initiation fee and $49 per month. That is $788.00 for the first year and $588.00 per year thereafter. Wow!
Having led a healthy lifestyle for many years, I started out as a huge gym user! I was always at the gym. One day, I looked around at the crowds, the hassle of finding a parking spot, the time it took to get to and fro, the filth, the monthly fee – that’s it! I quit!
I started working out at home with P90X and not only did I get in even better shape, but I saved lots of time. Over 1 hour saved each day that I worked out – for all the above reasons.
Not only did I save time, I saved money! The health club I joined cost me $70 per month. The fitness program i purchased cost me $120. The dumbbells cost me another $40. That is a savings of $840 per year – $160 (P90X + dumbbells) = $680 savings per year! Vacation time!
The most important part of success with home workouts is YOU! We have the fitness programs and tools you need to make it happen. What will you do with all your free time and extra money?
- Try P90X – some equipment needed (dumbbells, pullup bar or resistance bands) (2 FREE bonus DVDs)
- Try Insanity – no equipment needed (FREE bonus DVD – Fast and Furious)
- Try Slim in 6 – comes with resistance bands

When you do the Insanity 10 DVD program, you do not use weights or resistance bands! These cardio and plyometric drills, strength, power, and resistance use your own body for resistance.
The Insanity MAX Interval Sports Training DVD is part of the Insanity Deluxe 13 DVD or Insanity Deluxe Recovery 13 DVD 60-day Fitness program. Insanity Max Interval Sports Training is a 54-minute workout, the longest of all the DVDs (and the most intense)!

The Insanity Max Interval Sports Training DVD is for you if you like to do extremely difficult exercises! The Max Interval Sports are more intense than the other exercises as seen on the Insanity base 10 DVD program. With this DVD, Shaun T. trains you with many of the same exercises he uses to train professional athletes – after all, Shaun is a former track star, so watch out on this one!
Shaun T. starts the Interval Sports training with a 6 minutes warm up, starting with invisible jump rope and moving through switch heel with heel taps to the floor while keeping the core tight. The side-to-side jump rope moves work your whole body, even warming up your biceps with the invisible jump rope motions.
Next are some interesting moves that I never saw before! But, I can tell you they warm up all the parts of your body. These insane moves range from pulling your knees up high to warm up the hip flexors and core, and backward knee pulls with a hand to floor. Shaun T. gives you an Insanity warm up that will make you feel like you are doing the actual workout. But that is just the beginning!
When the warm-up circuit is complete, Shaun T. takes you through the whole Insanity warm-up again – just faster!
Next, you head into the Max Interval Sports training exercises with boxing moves like intense jabs across. This is not your Mother’s jabs! Remember this is Shaun t. You then do a series of jabs and uppercuts where you use an insane level of power to push through each jab and uppercut. Then Shaun pushes you through combining jabs with Shaun T. style power jumps!
The MAX Interval Sports Training workout continues with Football Drills, Guard drills, Suicide drills, Basketball moves and Pike Jumps. When you think you had enough, you get to a series of Insane Ab routines that will burn your core and make you sweat!
My favorite is the V-Pushup, where you get your body into a Downward dog type position on your toes and do pushup, head first. What an intense shoulder workout! You continue doing a series of extremely intense intervals that will push you further than any other DVD included in the Insanity series of workout! Insanity Max Interval Sports training DVD is the longest and most intense.
Just when you have a few minutes left and think you are winding down, Shaun gets you doing crazy long jumps combined with jogging. The workout finishes up nicely with 4 minutes of cool down stretching.
MAX Interval Sports Training is the most challenging workout in the Insanity fitness program. Saying that you will be pushed to the maximum is an understatement. Make sure you have lots of water on hand. Shaun T. is an excellent trainer, motivating you to complete each exercise and use good form every time!
Insanity MAX Interval Sports Training DVD is ONLY sold with Insanity Deluxe 13 DVD or Insanity Deluxe Recovery 13 DVD + Workout Mat and Body Fat Tester!

I did a search on the Internet to find out the average price of any random fitness DVD. The average price is $14.95 – $29.95 for a single workout DVD. Many of the fitness DVDs I found will not give you near the intense and amazing workout you get with Shaun T! So, $14.95 is extremely reasonable for each of the extreme fitness DVDs you get with Insanity Deluxe.
Let’s take a look at the 3 DVDs that come with Insanity Deluxe. You be the judge and decide which Insanity package is for you.
Insanity Deluxe includes:
- 10 DVDs from the base kit
- Elite Nutrition Plan – designed to fuel your body for these intense workouts.
- Fitness Guide – short and to the point. It’s just the information you need. We want you working out—not reading.
- INSANITY™ Calendar – organized into month 1 & month 2 to track your progress, set workout goals, and keep you motivated. Plus, the Fit Test Tracker tracks your results as you watch your body transform before your eyes.
You also get these 3 workouts:
- MAX Interval Sports Training – Shaun T, a former track star, designed these workouts for elite athletes. The MAX Interval Training exercises are extremely difficult to do. These exercises are far over and above the intense exercises seen on the 10 DVDs. If you want a REAL challenge, this is it. Get pushed to your absolute max as Shaun pushes you through the same moves he uses to train professional athletes. Read our review of Insanity Max Interval Sports Training.
- Insane Abs – Although there are ab exercises included in the 10 DVD set, this 33 minute insane ab routine will take you to new levels of ab training. You start with a crazy 5 minute warmup that will challenge you with moves like Power Jumps, and T-Kicks. Next, you do all the exercises on the floor without ever laying down! Can you balance on your buttocks like a V shape and then do all sorts of moves that hit your abs from all directions? I barely made it throught the first few times but it’s fun and does a great job of toning the abs.
- Upper-Body Weight Training – Go one on one with Shaun to work your chest, back, arms, and shoulders. These are not quite the traditional upper body moves that you are familiar with. You don’t just do chest press … you do chest press with head and shoulders off the bench to work your abs at the same time. Shaun goes through the workouts like a circuit. When you come back around to the first one, you increase the weights and decrease the repetitions. Shaun T’s upper body weight training workout is 43 minutes of pushing yourself through tough moves. Read our review of Insanity Upper Body Weight Training.
Insanity Deluxe packages the original 10 DVDs in a separate DVD holder then the additional 3 DVDs. The 3 DVDs come in two packages. One holds Insane Abs and MAX Interval Training, and a separate sleeve holds the Upper Body Weight Training DVD.
Is Insanity Deluxe worth it? Absolutely. You will love the extra 3 DVDs.

When it comes to fitness, stretching is the unsung hero. Although stretching does not get a lot of attention, stretching is critical towards achieving peak fitness condition. You should stretch both before and after your workout.
According to Tony Horton, creator of P90X extreme fitness program, flexibility is the “fountain of youth”. Without flexibility (like yoga and stretching), Tony says he would not be able to do the things he likes to do. Flexibility makes your body more durable and less vulnerable to injuries.When you are out there working out really hard, and you are not flexible, you are going to get hurt.
Over the years there have been conflicting reports on the benefits of stretching and warming up before working out. Some fitness pros argue that stretching before exercise can cause injury if not performed properly.
Beachbody fitness expert trainers say that stretching cannot and should not be overlooked. According to Debbie Sieber’s, creator of Slim in 6, It is so important to warm up sufficiently, especially when it’s colder outside. You are more prone to injury if you do not stretch before exercise.
Tony Horton says that what happens to a lot of people, especially in the United States, is they do not want to stretch because it’s BORING! it you take the time and have some patience, and do yoga and stretching, you will be less vulnueralbe to injury.
In all of Beachbody’s at-home fitness programs, whether it’s 10 Minute Trainer,Chalean Extreme, Slim in 6, or P90X, they all provide ample warmup time. Stretching allows the body to become stronger and allows your body to reach it’s peak fitness level.
According to Tony Horton, at age 50, it is truly yoga and stretching that allows him to stay fairly injury free. Having more flexibiltiy and better range of motion will help you reach the next fitness level.
Don’t forget to stretch! If you do P90X extreme home fitness DVDs, do the X Stretch on Rest day – you will feel a lot better!
View the video below to see what Tony Horton has to say about stretching!
Power 90 is a 90-day at home fitness program created by Tony Horton. You may have heard of Tony Horton from P90X, an extreme fitness program that can transform your body from fit to extremely ripped in 90 days!
Power 90 uses a technique called Sectional Progression. Each move that you do works a specific muscle group. This guarantees muscle growth and fat loss throughout your entire body, one area at a time. The Power 90 In Home Boot Camp workouts are 35 – 45 minutes each. They don’t take much time so you can work fitness into your busy schedule. You do the Power 90 fitness program 6 days per week.
Does Power 90 by Beachbody really work? Like any fitness program, you get out of it what you put into it. If you stick to the Power 90 program, actually do it 6 days a week and follow the nutritional plan, you can get great results.
Power 90 In Home Boot Camp is aimed at people who are just getting started with a fitness program. Power 90 will make you sweat and leave you a little sore the next day! Tony Horton makes the workout intense. He is a great trainer and very motivating.
What equipment do you need? To do Power 90, you will need at least a resistance band. You can also use dumbbells for the sculpting workout that is part of the program. Power 90 comes with one FREE resistance band!
The workout routines consists of 3 circuits. Each circuit is 35 – 40 minutes. It is challenging to go through the circuits! You also get 2 Ab Ripper routines. Take a look at Ab Ripper 100. It is good for beginners and easy to learn. Ab Ripper 100 is also effective at working your abs in a systematic way for maximum effectiveness. The exercises are familiar ones and you do 10 ab exercises for 10 repetitions each.
Many people who want to do P90X do Power 90 instead. P90X is a very extreme fitness program and if you are just starting out, I do not advise that you do it. If you are considering P90X, I recommend you do Power 90 to prepare for it.
If you are just getting started with a fitness program, P90 In Home Fitness program is a good choice for you. If your fitness level is intermediate to advanced, then Power 90 is not the fitness program for you. Try P90X or INSANITY.
Power 90 comes with:
- Sculpt Circuit 1–2. Easy moves that work to tone, firm, and strengthen your entire body. (29 minutes)
- Sweat Cardio 1–2. Fun, innovative cardio moves, kickboxing, Pilates, and more to burn fat and shed inches fast! (36 minutes)
- Sculpt Circuit 3–4. Next level for sculpting long, lean muscles! (38 minutes)
- Sweat Cardio 3–4. Accelerated fat and calorie blasting. (42 minutes)

Insane Abs is 33 minutes of taking your abs to new levels that you never knew existed! Shaun T. is an excellent fitness instructor. He explains how to do the moves before you start the exercise and continues to explain as you do them. Shaun also gives you excellent tips about breathing. Best of all, he is very motivating. The exercises are harder than any exercise you may have done and sometimes you may feel like you cannot continue, but Shaun motivates you to keep going.
Insane Abs starts with a warm up that just may tire you out! Shaun takes you through 5 minutes of different types of running in place and plyo moves. You do exercises like running in place with high knees and adding a twist in the upper body- that really warms up your core! Next, you learn how to do focused Tuck Jumps, Power Jumps, and T-Kicks in Shaun T. style. If that is not enough, you do another round of the same warm up, just faster. This is when the real fun starts!
You perform the next set of exercises on the floor. There is NO laying down with these floor exercises. The position is balancing on your buttocks, with legs raised out in front and upper body at an angle (chest and head up). This really makes you focus on the core. Shaun is excellent about keeping you focused and keeping you informed of how many more seconds you stay in any position.
Once you go through one set of ab exercises, you do it again, just faster! I thought I knew all the ab exercises but no! Shaun showed me moves I never saw like power abs. You start power abs by balancing on your buttocks with legs bent and wide and your upper body off the floor at a high angle. You bring the knees towards your chest. You keep your hands on the floor for balance but put your hands in the air for round 2. Shaun gets you going on core adduction exercises that will do you in.
The floor exercises require serious control and mental strength. You will also do moves like Low Plank Hops and Oblique Rotations from a plank position. Just when you think you had enough, Shaun throws another crazy exercise at you!
I had a tough time getting through Insane Abs but pushed my way through it. I really don’t think I could have done it without Shaun’s motivation to keep me focused mentally when my body said, “no more!”. I felt great when I finished the workout, a real sense of accomplishment.
Insane Abs is not for everyone but if you can keep up, you will have the best abs ever.

I get this question a lot – what is the difference between P90X and Insanity? Both P90X and Insanity will get you fit. Each program does so using a different method. P90X uses the muscle confusion technique while Insanity uses Max Interval training.
In a recent webinar I attended, Shaun T. pointed out three main ways that Insanity differs from P90X:
- No weights or bands
- Use your own body weight for resistance
- More cardio and plyometrics
Let’s take a closer look at the differences between P90X and Insanity.
P90X by Tony Horton
P90X is a 90-day fitness program that uses a technique called “muscle confusion.” P90X continually challenges the body’s muscles to new growth. The more you confuse the muscle, the harder your body has to work to keep up. The more variety you put into your workout, the better and faster your results. In P90X, you perform familiar exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, vertical leaps, bicep curls, shoulder press, and such.
P90X includes 12 workout routines, 3-phase nutritional plan, and fitness guide. You work out 6 days a week with an option on day 7 to rest or do X Stretch. You also need certain fitness equipment to perform most of the exercises: pull-up bar, resistance bands, and dumbbells. P90X gives you three programs from which to choose: P90X classic, P90X doubles, P90X lean.

Insanity by Shaun T
Insanity is 60-day fitness program that uses a technique called “MAX Interval Training.” With MAX Interval Training your moderate-intensity exercise gets replaced with maximum-intensity exercise, and your short intervals of intensity get replaced with shorter periods of rest. Simply put, you work harder and longer, and rest less. In month 1, Shaun puts you through aerobic and anaerobic intervals to build your fitness base. Every 15 days you take the fit test that counts as one of the workouts! Each subsequent time you do the Fit Test, you are also tracking your progress. These are not traditional or familiar exercises. You probably never did exercises like this before.
Insanity base package includes 10 workout routines, elite nutrition plan, fitness guide, and calendar. You work out 6 days a week and rest on day 7. There is just one program to choose from: INSANITY.
(lowest shipping cost)
Whichever program you use, you will get in the best shape of your life!
