Choosing between the Insanity and the Focus T25 workout is not easy, but I’m hoping this review will help you select the program that will get you the best results possible.
Everyone is different – even identical twins are different, so the program that is right for me might not be the best for you. This is why I have broken down the major pros and cons of each program, which will make your decision between the two easier.
If I were to compare Focus T25 and Insanity in two really quick sentences, it would be this:
Insanity is an extreme workout program where you push your body and mind to their limits.
Focus T25 is not quite as demanding as the Insanity workout, the workouts leave you with that “just had a really good workout” feeling.
Most Frequently Asked Questions Answered
Focus T25 is not just a shortened version of the INSANITY program nor is it an easier version. Focus T25 is based around the theory that 25-minutes of high intensity exercise puts your body in the range for optimal continuous calorie burn. This means your body will continue to burn more calories after your workout is over.

Who These Programs Are Perfect for
The Insanity workout program was created for people who want an intense cardiovascular exercise program. It’s hardcore. The plyometric-based movements are meant to shred fat from your body and is great for people who want a more bootcamp style workout. Think insanely tough :)
Focus T25 is also high intensity cardiovascular training with some weight training mixed in for a full body toning workout that hits not only your core, but your legs, arms, and back. The workouts in Focus T25 are only 25 minutes long for 5 days a week, which is optimum for those with full time jobs, busy moms, etc.
The T25 program is perfect for those who want to get an intense workout with less time to spare each day or for those who just want to change up their longer daily workout routine for something shorter to maintain results.
Focus T25 Trumps Insanity in Modified Moves
The biggest drawback for me with the Insanity workout is that Insanity really has no exercise modifications. I understand the workout would not be as intense with exercise modifications, but I would rather a less intense version of an exercise than only being given the option to walk it out or jog in place until being able to continue with the workout.
If you’re not already in really good shape, plan on walking or jogging in place to catch your breath often when first beginning Insanity. The good news with this is that you do build up endurance quickly, so you will last longer each and every workout.
Focus T25 has modified variations of every single exercise move. Sometimes, the camera angle is not always the best for viewing the exercise modifications, but you do always have the option, which is especially nice when you’re doing spider push ups for the first time… yikes! I absolutely love having the modified moves to fall back on when I was out of breath or just couldn’t physically do the moves.
When I really feel like I can’t keep up, I drop down to the modified movements, and then when I catch my breath, I focus back on the real movements. The modified moves in Focus T25 are perfect for:
- Those who are not in that great of shape
- Those with bad knees – you never have your feet leave the ground with the modified exercises, because they are all low-impact variations :)
Workout Equipment is Minimal
Insanity has a leg up on Focus T25 when it comes to exercise equipment you’ll need. With the Insanity workout program, you don’t need any equipment. However, a heart rate monitor and plyometric mat are highly recommended.
On the other hand, Focus T25 does have some weight training workouts, which means you will need to supply your own set of dumbbells or use a resistance band. Luckily, the Focus T25 program comes with a 15lb B-Lines resistance band. I prefer dumbbells, although it’s a little bit of an investment at first, but something you can use for the rest of your life after you finish the program…an investment in your health
Workout Schedule Differences
The Focus T25 workout program schedule is 10-weeks long, and Insanity is 60-days. Needless to say, it’s not that big of a difference.
Both programs have two phases: the first phase preps you for the second phase, which is more intense than the first. The second phase workouts of Insanity are longer than the workouts in the first phase, while the Focus T25 workouts remain 25 minutes throughout the second phase.
There is also a third phase to Focus T25 called gamma (sold separately) that is more weight training oriented. I will review this phase in a later post.
What Kind of Results Can You Expect?
For people who put there all into the Insanity program, following the diet and workouts to a T, losing 20-30 pounds over the course of the program is not uncommon.
With Focus 25 being a newer program, there are still limited results to see. After a week of T25, I was already seeing a difference in my abs and my thighs. I could even see the beginnings of my lower abdominal muscles!
Here’s a short breakdown of what you can expect with both:
Insanity:
- Weight loss
- Improved muscle definition
- A ripped athletic looking body
Focus T25:
- Weight loss
- More toning and shaping of the muscles
- A well-toned body
Shaun T is Not the Same Trainer
Much like actors in different movie roles, Shaun T’s personality and training style is much different in T25 than it is in Insanity. He also slightly altered his appearance for Focus T25. Who knew he would look so different with hair?!
In Insanity, Shaun T is clean shaven (including his head) and has more of a drill sergeant personality than one of a fitness instructor. He does a lot of yelling and will scream at you to push it and dig deeper – not necessarily my favorite style of motivation, but for a lot of people it works, and it works very well.
In Focus T25, Shaun T is sporting a goatee and a full head of hair. Not only is his appearance different, he is more concerned about proper form and having you focus on your core muscles than in the Insanity program.
Which is the Better Program for Beginners?
If you are just beginning to work out on a regular basis after a long time away or just not used to working out, I whole-heatedly recommend beginning with the Focus T25 first. Plus, as I mentioned earlier, T25 shows you a lower intensity modification on every single move, which Insanity does not have.
Which Program Will Help You Lose the Most Weight
Ah, it all comes down to the big question and the most difficult to answer: Will you lose as much weight with Focus T25 as you would with Insanity? There are so many factors that go into this, it’s impossible to really answer the question.
You will lose weight with either program, if that is your goal. Weight loss is caused by a calorie deficit over time. As long as you burn more calories than you’re consuming, you will lose weight.
How Much the Workout Programs Cost
If you order Insanity or Focus T25 through Team Beachbody, you receive a free workout program with either program. This is something you can only get through Team Beachbody and is only available for a limited time.
Both workout programs are $119.95, plus any applicable taxes including shipping & handling.

Still Need Help Deciding?
If you still need help choosing between Insanity vs Focus T25, please leave a comment below, and I will do my best to help you decide. Please share as much information about yourself as you feel comfortable, so we can make the right choice for you.
My main goal is to lose weight I’m 5’3” and 160punds which of the two programs would you recommend?
Thank you
Hi Anna, either program will help you lose weight, but if you are just beginning out I would recommend Focus T25.
Long time fitness buff. Have completed minimum of 3 full rounds of Insanity. Now doing MMA style workout videos for 2nd time. Also have done hybrid of both. Run. Bike. Concerned that T25 will not be enough of a challenge for me or that I will lose some of my fitness level. Love the idea of the decreased time but don’t want to back slide.
HI Tina, yeah if you are still looking to improve rather than maintain, I’m not sure Focus T25 would be enough. It could be something that you could do when short on time or as an additional workout when you have the time.
Hi Bethany,
well this week I finish my second round of Insanity. I started this summer, because I’ve been doing nothing for the past 4 years and at the begining it was hard…but now I feel I’m stronger than ever. I’ve been thinking of trying Focus T25, it will really help me of losing a little more weight after 2 rounds of insanity?
I’m from Spain, sorry about my english and thank you in advanced!!
Hi Nuria, after two rounds if Insanity, I would think giving Focus T25 a go sounds like a good idea. Your body can adjust to any routine and you might see some better results by switching it up!
Hi Bethany,
I am on my 7th week of insanity and lost about 10lbs. when I finish, I’m thinking of switching immediately to T25 or doing another round of Insanity. what would you advice? I havent gotten the results I was hoping for yet.
Hi Enille, congratulations on the weight loss so far, that is great! I would try a round of Focus T25 after completing Insanity to change it up. And don’t worry, you will get the results you want by continuing to invest yourself in the workouts. -Bethany
Thanks so much Bethany. I appreciate the response
i want to know which one should i try t25 or insanity and should i try them most of the people who do t25 or insanity are somewhat fat but i am skinny my weight is134 and i have a hard time gaining weight what do u think i should try o and am 21years old
Hi Sean, if you are already skinny, but going for that ripped look, I would suggest either program as long as your diet is right. If you are not eating properly you could end losing weight with either program, so you are going to have to maintain a diet high enough in calories that you do not lose weight, but the foods that you eat have to be high quality like lean proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates to get that ripped muscular look that I think you want. -Bethany
Hi Bethany I’m currently in my second week of month two Insanity. I used to be an athlete and gym rat but got pretty lazy after having a baby. Anyways I love Insanity, my body bounced back pretty quick. I love the feeling of exhaustion to the point of puking lol I know !!! But I’m competitive. My question is after Insanity is over I want to do T25 but should I do Beta and Gamma and skip alpha? I heard Alpha is more of a beginner guide. If I did this would it mess up results? Or should I just follow the scheduled program
Hi Akisha, I would suggest following the Focus T25 as it is. After a round of Insanity your body could need a break, it might be a good idea to take step back and let your body fully recuperate. If after a week of following the Alpha and you do not feel challenged enough then I would suggest switching it up. -Hope that helps Bethany
Thank you!!!
Hi,
I did Insanity 2 months ago, I just started with Focus T25 yesterday and wow I feel week lol do you think I’ll get flat abs with T25? Here’s my picture… 1st row was before Insanity, 2nd was after, 3rd was yesterday before I started with T25. I didn’t get the toned flat abs that I was aiming for with Insanity since I wasn’t fit enough to finish without long pauses but I did lose 13 lbs :)
lauramazeballz.tumblr.com/post/65417958084/1st-row-day-0-148-lbs-2nd-row-after-63-days
Hi Laura, loosing 14 pounds with Insanity is something to be proud of no matter what! Just keep going with Focus T25 and I’m sure you will get those abs in no time.
I have done Insanity all the way through and continue to incorporate it into my workout a few times per week. I feel like I have plateau’d and am not seeing any results. I also can’t say I was super impressed with my insanity results after completing the program. Will T25 challenge me more than insanity and help some stubborn flub go away???
Hi Clayton, I’m sure Focus T25 can challenge you as much as Insanity if you give it your all for 25 minutes. I know it sounds counterproductive but research is showing the shorter higher intensity workouts can give better results than longer workouts. In the end it is about results and if 25 minutes of high intensity exercise(Focus T25) gives better results than 40 minutes or more(Insanity), we just have to change our way of thinking.
I read that you have to change your diet if you feel like you’re on a plateau experiment between eating a bit more or a bit less :) or taking a break for 3-5 days from working out, that’s what I did and I broke the plateau
Hi!
I need to lose weight and tone up very quickly. Should I focus on Insanity or T25? I have been doing Zumba with little results.
Thanks!
Hi Luh, you’ll get results with either program, choose the one that you think you would enjoy more and stick with. -Bethany
I know I am pretty young (I’m only 15) and I have recently been struggling with my self confidence and been having issues with how my body looks. I am 5′ 3″ and I weigh about 130 lbs. (which too me is average but not good enough). Lately, I have been really wanting to get skinny and have abs like the girls I see on the internet and in public. I have started to eat a’lot cleaner, watching my calorie intake and I’ve cut out fatty foods, soda, etc. I run as often as I can around my neighborhood (about 3 miles), but now I really want to get into a high intensity workout everyday to really get my body in shape. Do you recommend I start off with either of these at this level? Would they be too intense for me? I am willing to work hard because I want to be confident in my body..
Hi Joanna, I can only give advice to those 18 years old or older. You would be best to talk to your doctor as your body is still maturing. -Bethany
Hey Bethany. :) Thanks for all of the advice. But if I’m a size 3 and want to lower my body fat percentage and get toned. Maybe slim my legs and arms a little. And also make my stomach flat but defined which one should I do? I’ve been an athlete my whole life and just did the bbl program and I don’t really care how brutal the workout is I just want the best results for my buck. I just want to finally reach the point where I have the body I’ve always wanted.
HI Megan, if you though BBL was brutal, you’ll want to go with Focus T25. In the Insanity program Shaun T acts more like a drill sergeant motivator, which works for some people, but leaves a bad taste in other people’s mouths. In Focus T25 Shaun T tells you to focus on the moves and do your best! Hope that helps, Bethany
Hi,
I have been doing insanity for about 7 months now and it still kicks my butt, although I am in the best shape I have ever been in. I am interested in the T25 but I am worried that it will force me into taking a step backwards with the progress I have already made. Any suggestions?
Hi Shawn, congrats on getting into the best shape you have ever been in with Insanity.
No, I do not think the Focus T25 would be taking a step backwards, in fact it may be good for you to change things up a bit now that you have been working out with Insanity for 7 months. After 7 months you are no longer a beginner, so you should be able to start being able to tell what works for you and what doesn’t and make changes in your workout or diet. So, I would suggest giving Focus T25 a go and if after two weeks you don’t like the results you are getting you can make some adjustments to the program.
Hi, great website with lots of useful info, just one thing – in your table you’ve got T25 as 5 work outs a week but it’s 6 through Alpha and Beta which is the 10 weeks you quote.
Hi Rob, You are right, I think I am going to change that, I don’t know why but for some reason I was thinking of the stretch DVD not really as a workout even though it is a very important. Thanks Bethany
Hi Bethany. I just stumbled upon your website, and it’s great! Thanks for all the information on T25 vs. Insanity. I’m 35, 5’4″ and 130 lbs. I’ve been doing Insanity for a little over a year now. I normally only work out 3-4 times a week, due to family schedules, and really I’m just trying to maintain my body, I don’t need to loose much weight (although losing 5-10 pounds would be great.) I am very interested in T25, but my concern is this: I feel like I might be taking a step backwards by going from Insanity to T25. Not sure why I feel this way, though. I think it’s because I keep hearing how T25 is a great start towards Insanity, and I’ve done Insanity, and now looking for something else. I still really like Insanity, I just need something else to add to the mix, and of course the 25 minutes is a major attraction! Also, can you tell me anything about P90X3? I’ve thought about buying both, again, to be able to mix it up more!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and to help me make a decision!
Heather
Hi Heather, yeah I agree Focus T25 is a better option for beginner’s than Insanity, but it is also perfect for those looking to maintain. The T25 workouts are not necessarily easier than Insanity just easier to modify I guess you could say. I think the main thing is the T25 workouts while shorter can produce great results because sports science has been showing that these shorter high-intense workouts might work best when done for a shorter time period. Hope that helps, Bethany
Thanks so much for the reply! I think I’m ready to try it out. Who knows, maybe with the shorter workouts I’ll be able to workout more days/week.
Thanks again!
Heather
Just a thought!
I switched to T25 and felt like you did (I did eventually switch back to keep from getting burned out). I did 2 workouts in a row.
I would use the regularly scheduled workout and then switch it up to include to Core Speed from BETA. I love that workout so much. It is a great closer to any workout.
This still puts me in the 50 minute range but it will shred you.
Thanks for sharing Stephen! -Bethany
Opinion please! Seeing you’ve done both programs. I’ve been working out for quite a while now with awesome results. I’ve been doing Insanity off and on but I want to really commit to it now. I’ve been thinking about doing T25 instead, because of the time restraints, but the only worry I have is about the difficulty. I have significant muscle tone already, I just want my abs. I don’t have much problem with Insanity, do you think I’ll find T25 too easy?
Hi Nicole, no I don’t think you will find T25 to be too easy. Most workouts are as intense as Insanity, but T25 includes modifiers which could make it a better option for people who otherwise would have difficulty with Insanity. Hope that helps, Bethany
PS – Tou’ll get those abs just keep pushing play!
Thanks a lot, that definitely helps. I’m going to start today :)
Hi Bethany,
I’m a 45 year old female, 5’4″ & approximately 135#. In addition, my health professional has said I’m menopausal. I am self-employed in a high stress industry and work a lot of hours. I’ve had been using Insanity on average 2 days a week since June 1 along with running about 10 – 15 miles a week along with weight training maybe 2 days a week. I was seeing some results but beginning in September my schedule became too busy and I’ve lost ground. I just purchased T25 because of the time factor involved. I want to lose the 10 pounds I’ve managed to gain & am curious if it is the best choice & what is the best way to incorporate it into my workout plan. I like insanity but sometimes I can’t commit 40 minutes. I feel weight training is important & works but I only have so much time. Running is my first love but after 20 years of it, my body is rebelling with injuries.
I would really like your opinion & guidance. Thanks.
HI Sheri, I think you made a great choice with Focus T25! Focus T25 is similar to Insanity, but is not the smae. Focus T25 sounds like it will fit into your schedule much better. I also wanted to mention during the second phase of Focus T25 you start to incorporate weights a couple of days a week which you are right will help with the toning and sounds like soemthing you enjoy. -Bethany
Hi Bethany! First I would like to thank you for taking the time to make this site so folks like me can find it and learn more information before I spend money on the wrong program.
Alright, here it goes…I am 31, 310lbs (I am 6’4) so not incredibly obese, but I am indeed a big guy. The last time I truely actually worked out on a daily basis was in high school playing football…I was still a big guy but a big guy who was in “football” shape.
Now, I am motivated and ready to get healthy. The place I live, a small town in Missouri, there are many overweight people who are 40+, look awful and are too ignorant or simply have no motivation to do anything about it. I do not want to be them.
Because this is a military town, I see military soldiers who are in great shape, it makes me a bit jealous and honestly, I am tired of being alone on Friday nights. Here is my question…I want the motivation you do. I want to be healthy and like what I see in the mirror. I want someone to like me, say I look great and truely mean it. How did you get your motivation and how did you stick with a program…period… without losing motivation due to difficulty. I am incredibly nimble for a big guy and have no problems moving around and I am not a lazy person, but because I have tried to eat correctly in the past and have seen absolutely no results, I just think…”How the hell is this going to help a guy like me”?
I need help…
Joey
Hi Joey – first of all, congratulations on your decision to get healthy!
Honestly, motivation can come from anywhere around you – I think you answered your own question :) If trying to look as fit as the military soldiers is something you’d strive for, then use that as your motivation. If going out on a Friday night is something you’d work for, then there’s another great motivator. And if living a healthy life and still looking good at 40+ years old is something you’d aim for, then you can use that as well. You don’t just have one thing you want to work out for – you have at least three! That is more than most people start with. And if your motivation starts to fizzle, keep yourself pushing hard every workout and eating clean by picturing how you want your body to look after – you could even put a picture of a physique you’d like to have up on your wall while working out. I would suggest a picture of the Rock – when I see him in movies, I always want to do push-ups or pull-ups afterwards :)
As for which workout program I would recommend for you and your situation, I would start with Focus 25. Focus 25 will help you get back into the swing of working out. The shorter workouts and workout weeks are going to be easier to fit into your daily routine when you’re first beginning to exercise again after a long time away. And please don’t think that by telling to start with this work out, it’s because it’s not as effective as Insanity, because it is – it’s just entirely different. That being said, it is the easier of the two to modify down to your own fitness level, because there is always Tania modifying the moves for you. It’s also going to keep you motivated each week by helping you lose weight and tone up fast.
You wouldn’t think only 25 minutes a day could do it, but it will. After completing Focus T25, you can always move on to Insanity to change things up, or purchase the Gamma Phase of Focus T25 to continue the program for another 30 days. I hope this helps. If you have any questions along the way or need help with motivation, just let me know. Good luck – you can do it!
Hi Bethany. I apologize more than somewhat for taking so long to reply. I appreciate the advice more than you can imagine. With your response, I found motivation #4. A week ago I purchased Focus T25 from the website including Gamma. I have recieved it “finally”!!
Although it has been a week, seems as though it took too long to get here. It is Friday evening…I am debating whether or not to start tomorrow in the am or wait until Monday to get in tune with the calender. I can not describe how motivated I am, not only for selfish reasons but because of this site alone. I honestly want to thank you for allowing us to comment and simply ask questions to someone who has the information we do not. Again…thank you. If you would like, as I go through the program, I can keep the site updated, even do the picture or video thing to show actual results. I am still curious…why did you start working out? What kept you motivated over the course of the programs you chose to use?
Hi Joey, yes please keep us updated, that would be great!
As for my own motivation, it was numerous things. I hated the weight I had put on from going back to school. When I started my new job, walking up the stairs was making me winded. And probably the most motivating factor was that, I had no excuses to not finish the program. I had tried a few programs while in school, but could never seem to be able to stick with them, I was excuse central. So I decided no more excuses, it was my life and my body and I wanted to take control of it. -Bethany
HI Joey,
I”m curious if you completed t25 and what your results were. My husband is trying to loose weight and like you is a big but nimble guy who has tried many things with few results. So I’m curious how you did with t25 and if you feel it was worth the price.
Thanks! -Holly
hi,
i suffer from flat foot syndrome where any sort of quick walking running jumping etc will give me a lot of pain in my shins. I have tried to do the insanity trainign but couldnt bear the pain of doing just the star jumps and cant confinue with it. Would I find T25 similar ? Last thing i want to do is waste more money.
Hi Sal – it is very common for increased aggravation when you exercise vigorously with flat foot syndrome. I also have this problem (I suffered from Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome caused my fallen arches), but learned to correct the problem and exercise pain, inflammation, and/or numbness-free. While Focus T25 may not aggravate your feet as much as the lengthier Insanity workouts, I do believe it is going to bother you. My suggestion – fix your feet to the best of your ability, which will take some time but will be well worth the wait. I know it sounds silly, because doctors are quick to say there’s no hope and get you to buy $500 orthotics or weekly physical therapy sessions, but you can change your body’s biomechanics with a little bit of effort.
My advice if you don’t want to waste any money, I would suggest purchasing Tai Cheng from Beachbody – it won’t get you ripped like Insanity or Focus T25, but it will help make your feet feel better so that you can begin a new workout program after the 90 days. And it will help you lose some weight and help all your joints feel good. I followed Tai Cheng for the duration of the program and practiced the moves to specifically help flat feet, and my foot no longer bothers me – this is without wearing my waste-of-money orthotics or doing any physical therapy. If you’d like to learn more, here’s a good article about Tai Cheng – http://www.squidoo.com/tai-cheng. Good luck!
Hi Bethany, my spouse has flat feet, and anything she can do to fix this would be awesome! How does this workout program help with flat feet?
Hi Joey, neither program is going to help with the flat feet problem unfortunately. T25 is likely the better program for someone with flat feet as it has lower impact move variations. -Bethany
Hi! i tried the insanity program and its great but the heart rate i high. i heard about focus 25 iand i read everything about it.but can u tell me i have to focus on my abs and glutes should i work out just these 2 or no???
Hi Katerina – I would suggest doing Focus T25 as it’s more adjustable to your current workout level than Insanity is. There is someone always performing a move modifier in every video, which is much better if you’re not already in tip-top shape. It’s only 25 minutes a day, but it will get your butt and abs looking terrific in no time…not to mention the rest of you! Good luck!
Hi, I am not In the best of shape and I want to get stronger and fitter. I have not worked out
In a long time and really need guidence. Should I get T25 first?
Hi Arzelius, yes I would recommend Focus T25 first for you. What I really like about Focus T25 over Insanity is the modified exercises. The modifiers will help you do the workout at your own pace until you gain the strength and endurance to do the full workout. Hope that helps…Bethany
Hi, I went through the whole Insanity program, although I often took breaks and didn’t do it 100% since it was literally my first time working out my whole life (I’m 23). I did lose quite a bit fat and weight (im now at 155lbd ) but I’m still not seeing abs.
All I really care about is getting some abs so which would you recommend for my next two moths of working out? Going through insanity again, now being able to probably complete all workouts correctly or trying T25 to get really ready to try insanity afterwards.
I’m not all that time-challenged either so I’m pretty sure I should go with the most intense program (Insanity) to get abs faster!
Thanks for your input!
Hi Andrew, tough question. My first thought was you should give Focus T25 a try. But, if you like the Insanity workouts and want to do another round of Insanity go for it. But, you are also right about how Focus T25 will get you prepared for Insanity also. In the end I would lean towards trying Focus T25 and if you don’t find the workouts intense enough(they should be) you could always switch back to Insanity. Sorry I could not be of more help. -Bethany
Thanks a lot!
Abs are made in the kitchen! Even if you work out really hard and have a strong core, you won’t be able to see the muscles with a layer of fatty tissue over top. Make sure you are eating clean!
Hey have done insaninty and have just had a four week break, got married etc need to get back into training, t25 or insanint again? Hardest program I have ever done
Jayne
Hi Jayne, if you want to switch it up, then maybe give T25 a go. Insanity is a very intense program for sure. -Bethany
Hi there I keep seeing you saying do t25 if it’s your first time on a workout dvd I’m one who likes to push myself and I was wondering weather you think I should push myself with insanity and if you do insanity would it be too much to go to the gym as well?
And also I forgot to mention I’m 23 I have a daughter and son on the way so most of the workout time would have to be when there asleep I work fulltime at mcdonalds so obviously my diet isn’t very good I haven’t been to the gym in a good 3 years and dont wanna be fat and set the wrong example to my kids
Hi Dom, Go for it, most people I recommend T25 are first time working out or getting back into it after a long lay-off. And, yes Insanity and weights at the gym on the same days would be an awful lot. Bethany
I am 49 y.o. and have always worked out until about 3 years ago when I had wrist surgery while I was in the Army after we were hit by an i.e.d. and they put 4 pins in my wrist. So I can’t bend my left hand anymore. I’m lucky though. Is this a program for me? Or should I just run, my knee is also effed up.
Hi Ron – don’t do Insanity if you have a messed up knee – it’s really not good for it…and neither is running! If you have enough wrist mobility to do a push-up, then you could definitely do T25 at full force. And even if you don’t have enough wrist mobility to do a push-up, you can always modify some of the moves in T25 to keep within your comfort range – Focus T25 is pretty easy to modify while still getting an intense workout. I hope this helps, but if you have any other questions, never be afraid to ask. Good luck, and thank you for your service to our country!
I think you know the answer to that question. Stick to insanity and commit and you will see the results. Good luck
Hello I aM just wondering what programme I should go on I am already skinny so weight loss is not a issue but I want to be ripped and have a toned body?
Hi Aj, Either program will get you looking ripped, but getting that ripped look is a lot about diet. Both programs comes with there own diet plans, just be sure to follow them and you will get the results. Bethany
