Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I decided after reading reviews and doing tons of research on workout videos to select this workout. I am a 24-year-old female, with about 15 pounds I can afford to lose. I had previously tried out Shaun T's Hip-Hop Abs, but didn't find it a challenge. I saw this and thought I'd give it a try, even though many females haven't reviewed it. First of all, here are a few things you should know before you buy this workout: 1. It is not a workout to do on carpet. I had to purchase a wrestling mat in order to get all the workouts done properly. 2. For women: this is a great workout! I have a ton of fun learning the football drills. I do about 1/2 the pushups though because I am not about having a super-toned upper body. Just not my thing (however I do have great arms now, they have thinned out nicely). 3. This workout is not for people who have bad arms(wrists) OR knees. I've injured both during this workout, even though I was working out almost every day prior to this. INSANITY definitely requires a body that is robust and ready for a little post-workout pain. 4. Athletic training sneakers are a MUST. Cross-trainers and running shoes didn't provide my feet with the amount of support I needed. I had to go to the Nike outlet and get something that supported the ENTIRE base of my foot. 5. The diet plan isn't hard! It's a great bonus to have cheap, easy, and fast meals included. 6. I know the really popular review states something about approx. 30 minutes per workout. It's more like 40-45, including a warm-up, and stretching before&after. 7. If you don't have the time to do this 6 days a week, I wouldn't bother. It's definitely something that requires dedication and a passion to be fit and healthy. I'm halfway through the program--- getting ready for month 2/my recovery week. I am 5 lbs lighter, and my body is just getting more and more toned and gorgeous. I love the feeling of being able to throw on a bikini. Ladies, you might be scared to do this because it definitely looks like a guys' workout--- it's not! I am a girly girl and I love this! I feel so incredible and ready to skimp around a beach. It's worth every penny.
