We also did pushups in a squat position , which felt really weird, but really good. My arms were burning halfway through the workout.
The running mountain climbers just about killed my arms! There was a nice, long four-minute stretch at the end, for which I was grateful. I grunted my way through the workouts, but felt like a rock star afterward! The program offers a well-rounded, full-body workout involving both cardio and strength training.

The stretches still worked the muscles while simultaneously offering relief to the body parts that needed it most. There are a lot of intense workout programs that fail to give its participants the break they need, but Insanity is not one of them. Speaking of beginners, I would say that the Insanity program is not for beginners.
I think the risk for injury is just too high. Even as a fitness professional I could barely catch my breath at certain points, so starting with something a bit more low-key would be best.

In exercise physiology, he said, "catabolic" refers to muscle breakdown, and "anabolic" to muscle build-up.
With programs that push you hard six days a week, your body never gets a chance to build back up. Another problem: Workouts which use no weights, like Insanity, may build strength but cannot provide the type of heavy loading needed to fight bone loss in women, Dr.
Kraemer said. Not to mention that the dropout rate tends to be high, he added, ""and in preliminary looks at such extreme workouts, the injury rate goes up because you have all this breakdown stuff floating around in your body and you get injured. Come on, in 60 days you're going to look like that? In essence, he said, an Insanity-type workout is what body-builders do at the "cut phase," several weeks before a competition: They've built up their muscles, and now "they want to get ripped, they want to get definition.
Not that I ever thought I'd get a six-pack, but how I love the fresh ring of expertise-infused truth! Just one lingering question: What about my idea of lengthening my high-intensity intervals? Kraemer sounded dubious. You can do longer intervals to burn more calories but you cannot keep up the same intensity for three minutes that you can do for one minute.
True, but is there any reason not to aim for longer intervals, if I'm fit enough? I checked with my favorite health book author, Tim Caulfield, author of "The Cure For Everything," and a health policy researcher with encyclopedic knowledge of the literature on diet and fitness.
Most of the studies that look at interval training use fairly short intervals on ONE activity e. But some are longer. I think the intervals have to be short enough that you can maintain a fairly intense level of activity. Again, it is all about adaptation. Also, I think it is important to mix it up. This is a fairly solid sum of the benefits of Interval Training. So, not sure there is any documented harm to long intervals Mike Bracko, an exercise physiologist based in Calgary, offered further reinforcement for the idea that a truly high-intensity interval cannot last very long.
But research shows excellent results from medium-intensity intervals too, he said. As for workouts like Insanity, he'd suggest "Buyer beware. We're in the industry to try to get people to be more physically active, so if they want to do high intensity interval training, go for it.
That sounds about right. One last lesson: Dr. Kraemer, in his wisdom, pointed out that we all tend to be bad consumers of fitness products; "We want this thing right now. My first answer is, well, it looked like fun, and a respected source recommended it. But when I really looked into the mirror, I had a moment of deep sheepishness. I fell for it.
