My Adventure in to 'Insanity' by Shaun T

If you haven't seen the infomercial of the 60 day total body reconditioning program called Insanity, here's the breakdown. (If you know what it is skip this portion!)

Insanity Includes:
-10 discs which requires you to complete six work outs a week including a fitness test you take every two weeks the first months workouts are 30-40 minutes month two is 45 minutes
-A diet plan
-The statement "Check with your physician before you start. That's not a disclaimer. We REALLY mean it.
-The promise of 'Insane Results' after two months or 44 workouts and 4 fit tests
-Access to teambeachbody.com, which is actually free anyways but you can submit your before and after photos to receive a t-shirt and other goodies
-A price tag of $144.80+ tax if ordering from beachbody.com

So this is how the review is going to go. I started my journey into 'Insanity' (sorry I couldn't help myself!) on July 25,2012 and will be finished September 19, 2012. As of now I will be posting when I complete my fitness tests every two weeks and in between if it tickles my fancy. I am not brave enough to disclose my weight or measurements but I will post inches lost and where I lost them as well as weight lost. On that note if your trying to compare my journey with yourself I will tell you that my BMI considers me overweight and close to obese and I am an hourglass shape so my inches lost (fingers crossed) will most likely differ from someone with a different body frame. I also have little to no specific 'me time' exercise so I am definitely a beginner. I do lots of work but lets not pretend that I'm shedding the pounds over it.

I also want to mention that I was given a used copy from a friend of this and I did not purchase, Unfortunately I wouldn't the price tag is a bit steep for my liking.

How I'm going to review
-I will not be closely following the diet plan, I will have cheat days on Fridays or at least one day of my choosing. (I also am using PGX Daily which is an upcoming review (its worth the money if you can't wait) I will not sabotage myself or the results with a horrible diet.
-I will do the work out the days that I'm supposed to. If I cannot do it properly I will try and do what I can to the best of my ability.
-I will post my results every 2 weeks with the fit test and probably blog about it inbetween if i can lift my fingers

-If parts of my reviews are too wordy I try and summarise my points so look for bullets or dashes & if anyones reading this besides myself let me know if I'm missing something that you'd like to know. Personally everytime i look for a review its either a pretend one or its missing things that I would have liked to know so I would appreciate the help.

Onto the pain
