Insanity review week 9 and last and final overall review + photos!

Hello again everyone,

Well my Insanity journey is now officially over I have completed this program so now I am going to talk about my last week then I will give an overall review.

Ok first I must say the last week I felt a lot more stronger in the workouts I didn't get too tired. The workouts were still really tough but I managed to get a little more stronger in them but I always struggled with the power jumps and with certain push up exercise like the side push ups and oblique push ups I struggled with going all the way down.  but overall my strongest week for month 2 was the last week, the first few were the hardest weeks and that's all I can say about this week really. My last and final fit test again did not go so well no matter how hard I tried I just could not get better results for some reason so I'm slightly disappointed about that, but on the plus side I also measured my waist and I'm close to 33 inches around my waist!

Now for my overall review. I really think this is a really great program to do if you want to challenge yourself more in your workouts or you want to tone up, lose bit more weight and be more flexable then, this is a great program because Insanity is not just cardio, you also do strength exercises and there's even a bit of yoga involved. So if you purchase this set be aware that its not cardio alone that you will be doing.

However I personally would not recommend this if you are totally new to working out or if you have never done exercise before in your life because it is very difficult, so if you are new to exercise and you are thinking of getting this program I say start with something a little bit easier first. Overall I recommend this if you are a little more advanced with exercise. But that is just my personal opinion because I found the workouts in this DVD set were extremely harder than other workouts I did in the past. Also if you have heart problems than I don't think this will be a good idea for you, but of course consult your doctor first BEFORE you buy this DVD as you don't want to waste any money!

Now to answer your question whether this DVD will make you completely skinny/buff in 2 months well yes you will get stronger and you will get some great results as for me though yes I've noticed some pretty amazing results but since my tummy area is my trouble zone, I didn't lose all of my belly fat but some of it has gone as I have lost nearly 2 inches off my waist. But keep in mind though I did NOT take the recommended recovery formula, I did NOT take shakeology and I did NOT follow the recommended diet plan so I don't know for sure if using all that and following the recommended diet plan will give you the results you want. One thing I must say though, I don't want to sound discouraging but I am just being honest, I mean you will see great results but if you are around 89 kilos or  90 kilos you are not going to lose all of the weight you want because it takes more than 2 months to lose around 30 kilos or more, so keep that in mind. Don't get me wrong you will still at least see some results. But please don't think that you will look like Jillian Micheals or Michelle Bridges after this workout if you are around 65 to 90 kilos or more or your if you are like me and your tummy area is your trouble zone. When it comes to wanting to look like that it really depends on where your body is at for instance if you are around 60 or 59 kilos that might happen if lets say you want to lose 2 kilos and you want to get a six pack. You can also do the program again  if you want more results as I am actually thinking of doing Insanity again but not anytime soon as I really feel I could use a break from it and there are also other workout DVDs that I want to try and also there are some really good YouTube workout videos that I want to try out for a while.

Overall I think think this DVD set was worth doing I have no regrets doing it as later in the future I might give it another go. Even though my body is not where I want it to be yet it still helped me lose at least some inches around my waist, helped to tone my body up really well, made me become more flexible and helped me reach a size 10.  I'm just glad that it has at least given some benefit with my figure as I find I look best than I ever did before but of course still its not where I want it to be yet.

So here are my before and after photos:

Now the cost of the DVD set!
I bought my set from Ebay and I think from what I can remember it was around $84 or $85 AUD it was not cheap but I think it was worth the money anyway as I can still do the workout again, You also might be able to get them a little bit cheaper like remember seeing ones that were around $60 AUD you'll have to check Ebay out though to see for yourself, I also know that Beachbody.com sells copies. But if you want to get it cheaper try looking at Ebay because sometimes you will find good deal you can also check beachbody.com to see if its on sale, Amazon might also have it cheaper.

Oh and just to let you I am NOT sponsored by beachbody, I did not profit from them in anyway as I mentioned I bought this with my own money. This is my own personal review.

Anyway that's it for my last and final review of Insanity I hope this review was useful. If you have done this workout program feel free to share your experience in the comment section as I would love to see how it worked out for other people as everybody is different.
