The results don’t lie, and clearly indicate the increase of my overall fitness level from Day 1 to Day 60. The lack of recovery time in Insanity is a criticism I heard from a co-worker of mine as well who is familiar with the program, and this is an issue that should be taken note of when carrying it out. Yes, these workouts in Month 2 are extremely strenuous and taxing on the body, so much so that I found myself to be injured for the whole last 3 weeks of the 2nd month, with a pulled shin muscle, a sprained ankle, and what felt like a dislocated shoulder (from all the vigorous punching movements involved). The extended Month 2 workouts throughout the week are simply a longer and harder version of Month 1’s workouts. In Month 2, you move on to the 2nd half of DVDs included in the set, which make the workouts from Month 1 seem simple, premature and benign. In Part 1 of my review, I covered only the first 2 weeks of the program, which was a good introduction on what to expect from carrying out the grueling 6 day-a-week fitness regime that was to continue on for another month-and-a-half more. I started the 60 day Insanity program on August 5th and completed it on October 5th, doing my final Fit Test on October 7th, and the results are in!
