That [beep] is ba-nanas, yo. Come on, y’all, push, push, ahh…! Dig through, y’all, come on, come on! Yeah! Push, y’all, push, push!
Announcer: If you see someone wearing this , you know one thing for sure: They’re in better shape than you.
I feel amazing when I put this shirt on but I look even better when I take it off.
Announcer: You see, this shirt’s not for – you have to earn it.
Insanity.
I earned it!
I didn’t get this shirt, I earned this shirt.
Announcer: You have to commit to 60 days of insanity, the hardest workout ever put on DVD, and the only workout that gets you this lean, this strong, this ripped, in just two months’ time.
If I see somebody else with this shirt on, I know they are in the best shape of their life.
All: We are insane…!
I got this body in just 60 days with insanity, without picking up a single weight.
They don’t give it to you, dude– you earn it.
You bet I earned it.
Announcer: Last year, we challenged television viewers like you to try something crazy– a 60-day total-body conditioning program so extreme it could only be called insanity. The challenge was to see if you can do it, but the reward is the results.
In 60 days, I dropped 19 pounds and went down to six percent body fat.
Announcer: That’s why we offered this free to anyone who completed insanity and sent us the before and after photos to prove it. Hey, like the shirt says, they earned it. To our surprise, quite a few photos started showing up at our offices… Then quite a few more… Thousands more. Turns out there’s a lot of committed people out there, people who don’t mind working hard as long as they know they’ll see real results.
If you go for it all the way, you’re gonna see a full-body transformation in 60 days. That’s a promise.
Announcer: And the insanity has become a badge of honor in fitness, an emblem worn by the elite group of men and women who stood up to the insanity challenge and have insane results to prove it.
I went from 240 pounds down to 205… This is in 60 days!
I was floored by the results.
I stuck with it and I was able to get the results that I wanted, all within 60 days.
36, I’m in the best shape of my life.
This is a life-changing process– it got me amazing results in 60 days.
Announcer: You want results? You don’t need an expensive gym membership to get them… Just a DVD player and enough space for a puddle of sweat. You don’t even need much time. Insanity’s only about 45 minutes, six days a week. What you do need is the willpower to give it your best and a trainer who can push you farther than you ever knew you could go.
You gotta stay in it. Be focused– come on, push.
Announcer: This trainer– Shaun T., the fitness expert and former track star who created this insane workout.
I developed this program so in 60 days, you’re gonna see results, and in 60 days, if you work to your max using max interval training, you’re gonna see results.
Announcer: Typical interval training features long periods of moderate exercise interrupted by short bursts of intense effort, but Shaun T. Turned that on its head. With max interval training, you do long bursts of intense exercise followed by very short periods of rest.
That’s what max interval training is. It’s going for it, working as hard as you can go for three minutes, take the break, go back into it.
Announcer: On every exercise, you work out at your max, doing as many reps as you possibly can, whether that’s four or 24. As long as you give it your best, you can burn up to a thousand calories a workout and get insane results.
What makes max interval training so effective isn’t just the insane effort. It’s the different types of training and how they will transform your body. First exercise is high knee abs. Ready… Go. With high knee abs, you do a high intense cardio to work the body, work the core, work the muscles, burning calories, pushing all the way through. This is working at your max in cardio. Next thing I’m gonna show you: Explosive plyometric movements. That’s gonna work the legs and the core. Ready… And go. Working the legs at the bottom, working the core at the top, pushing through, again, working at your max, going for it, digging deep, pushing through. Good job. Now I’m gonna get into sport-specific training to gain speed, to get you agile. Ready… And go! This is all about being agile, being quick, gaining speed, working the body, working the core, pushing through. Good job. Now we’re going down. This is how you’re gonna get a ripped upper body, this is how you’re gonna build muscle. Ready… Go! Oblique knee push-ups. I’m working the core, I’m working the abs, I’m working the obliques, I’m defining my body with my body. That’s insanity, that’s how you push. Good job. Now, you know everybody wants that strong core. I’m gonna show you how me and insanity are gonna get you that strong core. Ready… And go. Working the abs, explosive movements to work the core, pushing through, getting ripped, going for it, going as hard as you can, working your body to the max… And three, two… Good job. That’s how insanity’s gonna transform your body in 60 days. I want to know, are you ready for the challenge?
What I love about this video… Is that… I just did… Six minutes… Six minutes of the video and look how wet I am. I’m already sweating. I earned it. That’s right, I definitely did. I started insanity because I was unhappy with the way my life was going, I felt sluggish all the time. I had started out, I was 240 pounds, a size 38 jeans on a good day. I thought, “no, this isn’t right. So I was just ready for a change.
Move, come on. Dig with me, I’m right here– go!
I think my favorite part of this besides the fact that… Well, I’ll show you. You know, I’m not afraid to take my shirt off now. I’ve gone from a 38 size jean down to a 34 again. I went from 240 pounds down to 205. This is in 60 days. You know, my waist has gotten smaller, I can see abs again. I can’t tell you the last time I saw my toes before insanity, but it’s all back and it’s something I was able to do and have fun while I was doing it.
You can do it. Take the rest when you need it, otherwise just keep pushing.
You can do this. It’s 60 days for less than an hour a day and you will get results. I got the insanity body that I was after.
If you’re someone out there who’s afraid, I challenge you. If you’re already fit, I challenge you. If you want to improve your life and improve your body and improve your health, I challenge you. Insanity is a challenge. It’s not easy.
It was a challenge for me at my age and I wanted to do it. I knew I could do it and I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. I don’t want to feel 50. I didn’t want to feel 50. Still don’t want to feel 50. I wanted to be in the best shape that I could be for where I am in my life.
High knees, go! Come on! There you go, that’s it! That’s what I’m talking about!
Woman continues: What they say in the infomercial about sweating and paying dues is absolutely true, and it’s the most awesome feeling in the world. One of the reasons I chose insanity was because it was 60 days and I thought, “well, see what you can do for me, Shaun T.” I knew I was gonna have to sweat and I was gonna have to push myself to the limit.
Shaun: Push, push… I need power and I need for you to dig deeper– here we go.
Woman continues: I’m gonna dig deeper, I’m gonna be committed and I delivered, I took care of it, I did everything I was supposed to do and I lost 24 pounds and five percent body fat, and it was the most amazing feeling to be laying on the floor in a pool of your own sweat, thinking, “I did it, I did it.” it was awesome.
I know how it feels to push, I know how it feels to struggle through this workout, and that’s how I know you’re gonna get results.
Man: I look back at my before pictures and I’m just like, “who’s this guy?” and it just doesn’t even look like me. It’s not easy, ’cause if it was easy, everybody would do it, but if you’re willing to work hard, it’ll work for you, because this is real, this is something that absolutely works and you will see results. Everything has changed: My arms, my shoulders, my chest, my core, everything changed on me. It is very addicting. It’s a lifestyle choice, and once you get on this path, you don’t want to get off.
Get it, come on! Work the core, work your chest! Come on, push!
Let me tell you about my insanity , it’s crazy. This is after one workout with insanity. This is not water. My shirt is soaking wet. I feel amazing when I put this shirt on, but I look even better when I take it off. Aah! Insanity rips you up. 60 days later, I’m down 17 pounds, lost four inches off my waist. Not anybody can get one of these shirts. You have to earn this shirt. This shirt is earned. This shirt is not given, this shirt is not bought… This shirt is earned through heart, sweat, pain, digging deeper.

Go, go, go! Push! Knees up, abs tight! Go!
After you get done digging deeper 60 days, I’ll guarantee you, you will have the best body of your life. If I see somebody else with this shirt on, I know that they are in the best shape of their life. I know that they are in a… Like a fraternity. It’s like a team. It’s like a membership. I almost want to wink at ‘em and I’m like, “yeah, I know you get it, I know you dig deep, I know you got what it takes, I know what you’re made of because you went through 60 days of insanity, sweating it out, pressing play every day, and you’re in the best shape of your life because of it.”
