By Storylover
Insanity: The Asylum is the "sequel" to Insanity, and it pushes you hard, further, deeper in ways that the original Insanity workout wasn't meant to do. I'm going to discuss what to expect in this DVD series, then tell you a little about my results. To give you some perspective, I'm almost 40, and only 2.5 months ago, weighed more than I ever had before (222 pounds). I'm pretty short, so I looked like a man-dumpling. I did insanity (all 63 days, never missed a workout), lost 22 pounds, and then was looking for the next thing to help me keep losing. Fortune struck, and this set came out at just the right time. I segued directly into this series. Here's the story.
The DVD set iself comes with six DVD's, which includes I think 8 videos (the Fit Test, Speed and Agility, Strength, Vertical Plyo, Back to Core, Game Day, Overtime, and Relief). It also comes with a nifty wall calendar which I gleefully mark off each day (it tells you what to do each day). It also has schedules for how to combine it with Insanity and how to combine it with p90X for those who have completely lost their marbles and wish to push themselves to olympic like levels. It comes with a "speed rope"--really, just a jump rope, an "agility ladder"--a ladder like contraption made of sturdy plastic rungs and nylon cords. More on it later. My set came with two elastic resistance bands (a red, heavy duty one for legs, and a green, still strong but not quite as resistant one for arms and back). The deluxe package comes with some other goodies. But goodies are just goodies--the important thing is what's on the DVD's and the determination you bring to it. It comes with a booklet containing a simple but quality nutrition plan--nothing flashy, just good solid time tested nutrition with some suggestions on how to eat to get the best results. I'm doing weight watchers, so I didn't use their directions, but looking at the nutrition plan, it looks like something I could do if I wanted. I'm just happy with my WW results. Neither here not there. The packaging is quite professional, and the quality of the production is high. Music is much the same as in Insanity--it gets the blood pumping, but you're not gonna want to listen to it in the car.
The workouts are crazy, no lie. This set was designed for use by folks who have completed a course like Insanity, P90X, Turbofire, or the like. If you are in good shape, you'll be fine even if you haven't done that. If you are overweight, like me, beware--this thing is nuts. It should be handled with care and treated with respect. These workouts will push you, challenge you. There are a lot of things that I STILL can't do after completing Insanity! But by the same token, if you are up for a challenge, there is nothing here that you can't modify down to your own level. Obviously, don't do these if you are injured, or have heart issues, or all that jazz. You know what you can and can't do. But if you are basically healthy but just overweight, these DVD's are tools--use them to push yourself, to make yourself stronger, faster, harder, better. Heaven knows that I freely modify things so that I can do them--but I keep pushing, trying to get closer and closer to what Shaun T. and his insane posse of fitness gazelles are doing.
Results? Well I'm 15 days in now (it is a 30 day program). Remember that I was down 22 pounds at the end of insanity. I'm down 28 pounds now, and I'm gaining a lot of muscle at the same time. I've got biceps, triceps, and chest muscles that I never knew I had. My abs, which had started to show a little during Insanity, are continuing to become more apparent. I'm still overweight, but definitely getting better. My cardiovascular status has actually improved since Insanity, which is saying something. The workouts are unrelenting, about 45 minutes in length each, and they strive to use your whole body. There is still Shaun's overarching focus on your core, but he works your back a lot, which is new. I've got back muscles which I had no idea I'd ever have. I'm enjoying the new emphasis on muscle development (Insanity itself was almost exclusively cardio work), and Shaun is all business here. He is here to "train you hard, and he is not playing!" That said, these workouts are also amazingly fun. The "game day" workout is one of the most fun workouts I ahve ever completed, and I look forward to doing it even though it completely shreds me to pieces.
In summary, I love this set. I love how hard it pushes me, I look forward to working out, I'm losing weight and gaining muscle. I highly recommend it to the highly motivated--but know what you are in for when you begin. You will be sweating, panting, groaning, and staring with amazement that "that was just the warm up!". But it will be worth it. Oh yes, it will be worth it.
**Update**
OK, a couple of things here. I'm done with Asylum for my first run through about a week ago. It was super hard, super fantastic, and really really exhausting. I gleefully took a few days off to fish with some friends, and then came back to start p90x for the first time. I had been told that I might not find the cardio in p90x satisfying after insanity/asylum. I figured that it would be fine and planned to just do p90x straight. Well, they were right, I was wrong. I realized just how special a program Insanity and Asylum are after I did "the mother of all p90x workouts--plyometrics" to paraphrase Tony Horton. p90x plyometrics is a great workout, but it didn't have the intensity that I wanted. So I have started the p90x Asylum hybrid. I know, crazy. I can't believe I was a fat lump sitting on the couch 3 months and a bit ago. Now, I'm less fat, less of a lump, and turning into a cardio and workout junkie. It feels great. It is simply fantastic.
**Update**
I just wanted to give a little update on how things were going with the Asylum/p90x hybrid. I love it. I'm now 38.5 pounds down from when I began. I am following the asylum/p90x hybrid plan but have extended it to a 90 day plan just using the included calendar as a template. I am in smaller clothes than I have been in years, which is gratifying, but what is even better is that I look good in the clothes! I'm getting muscular development where I had no hope of seeing it. My arms are bigger. My tire is disappearing. I still have a long way to go--but ultimately, I'm only just past my 4th month of working out--2 months of insanity, a month of asylum, and a month and a week or so into the p90x/asylum hybrid. I feel great. I feel more confident in myself. When I walk around, I feel strong. I'm not scared to take off my shirt--not because I look great with it off (yet:-) but because I know I am making positive steps towards my own health. It's good. Don't be scared, folks, if you are thinking of getting in shape. All the excuses we have all used--it is hard, it takes too much time, I don't like to exercise, I have kids, I'm too busy--I've used them all. And I have 3 kids, a full time job, a wife that I adore, and lots of hobbies. But I feel great. The time is worth it. You can do insanity month one in 40 minutes. Same for asylum. You can do this. You can do this!

By Dan
I found Insanity the Asylum to be a lot tougher than the other Beachbody products. (I've done P90X, P90X Plus, Chalean Extreme, Insanity and RevAbs.) For example, halfway through the Vertical Plyo workout (THE most difficult, in my opinion), I'm usually longing for Plyo X or regular Insanity. I would rate the Game Day workout the single best workout in the entire Beachbody family of products. You go from sport to sport to sport and the time flies by. Twice I yelled at Shaun T "you've got to be kidding!" After Game Day, I tried to do Overtime (a 25 minute add-on), but was too worn out.
I can't get the hang of jumping rope (plus my ceiling is too low), so I just follow the gal who's not using a rope either. A few other exercises I can't do very well, so I improvise.
I like all the Beachbody instructors, but Shaun T is my favorite. He's all business and very motivating. He does move from one exercise to the next very quickly, so you need to pay attention and press "pause" when necessary. He has some great lines. My favorite is, "If your 30 second break turns out to be only 10 seconds, that's your problem."
I recommend this product very highly. I'm a male, 53 years old.

By Cas Smith
This program is amazing and getting it from amazon was spot on! You get the pull-up bar, assistant band for pull-ups, all the bands and ladder. If you want to get in great shape then you need to buy this product! Amazon ships it out in no time and you will be working hard sweating all over the place. This program is not for weanies! Have fun :)
