Does it come with a workout calendar? And how does it compare to Insanity?

There is no calendar or diet information, just the DVD set. I don't know the other workouts, so cannot make a comparison. They are pretty intensive and you will get a workout. No equipment needed, maybe a mat for floor work. It's basically a boot camp with sarge in your face.

If it came with calendar, I ignored it. I just progressed straight through the workouts. Compared to Insanity it is far few jumps, or jump squats. Don't get me wrong, you will be jumping with Ruthless, just not as much. It was said in a previous review, but one of my bigger issues is not remembering what a workout is after doing it. The names are a little screwy. I miss using weights, so I just do a Tony Horton Fitness on You tube to incorporate weights.

It depends on how much time you want to put into it. I have done all three, but I like T25 the best because you're done in about 28 minutes (including the stretch at the end.) You work with weights in almost all of the workouts in T25, whereas in Insanity, there are no weights (as far as I can remember). P90X is just about all weights, but I'm rarely willing to put that much time into a workout. Hope this helps.

No, it doesn't. It also isn't the entire "hip hop abs" series. I was really disappointed when I got it, but I should have known why it was so cheap. . It has 2 or 3 videos and they kind of just get into full swing from the start-which wasn't ideal for someone who is out of shape and uncoordinated. I would suggest something else if you're anything like me. I need a "how to" and slower start for something new.

Hi. I've done Insanity before also. The intensity of this workout is to concentrate in your abs so consider a 50% less intensity than insanity. You will have to combine it a harder workout is what you are looking for. Good luck!

I have been doing insanity for 2 weeks. I have been working out for 20 years, taught spinning, and am in good shape. However, this is the hardest I have ever worked. I think it would definitely get you to where you want to be and more.

In my opinion, HHA is a step below Insanity as far as intensity goes. However, I find that is still a great workout and I have fun doing it. It keeps the heart rate up as you are always moving and you definitely sweat. I like it a lot!

I've done insanity,asylum 1 and 2 and insanity and I think this is pretty decent. I'm doing this in the winter since its harder for me to wake up for the longer insanity videos. This is roughly 20 minutes

Insanity is a great workout. If you purchased the DVD's directly from Beachbody you have nothing to worry about - they replace any damaged products without question. I own several of their programs and never had a problem with customer service.

No - This descriptive review lists the workouts included in the first set I bought and reviewed here on Amazon: http://www.prettyindayton.com/2011/04/review-turbofire-basic-program-finally.html. I refer to it to remind me which workout is which. From what I can tell, I think the $80 set is a different package of the cardio workouts. It includes the starter set workouts and some of the workouts from this set. It doesn't have the 2 EZs or any of the core/strength workouts from the set I bought, but it has a Fire 40, which I don't have on any of the others. The Fire 55 could be the same as the Fire 55EZ, don't know. There's no "Fire 55" in my pack. The one I bought also has a bonus of the first Chalean Extreme Burn Circuit workout, which gives you a taste of that program. It comes with slots for the 4 DVDs with 5 advanced workouts (Fire 60, HIIT 30, Upper 20, Lower 20, Abs 10), which I bought separately off of Amazon. The starter pack I bought separately has the Fire Starter, Low HIIT 20, Low HIIT 25. "Low" means it concentrates on showing you a low-impact workout, but they are still very intense. These appear to be included in the $80 set. Every DVD has "Stretch 10." Personally, I think it's well worth the extra $15 to have the strength program pieces included. The Core 20 is a great workout, and I plan to use the other strength ones while traveling because I can easily carry resistance bands in my suitcase.

Yes it does !! Very easy to se8r up as well. Only issue which isn't a big deal doesn't come with workout instructions. You can go to website and download them . I strongly recommend doing so it shows you how to correctly use it and gives you a nice workout plan .

that is what I did, BUT I had been doing "Insanity" for 1 1/2 yrs when I added Gamma - GAmma focuses on strength building, with a lot of use of free weights, so you need to do other cardio to balance out, alpha and beta work on that - it is not in my opinion nearly as hard as Insanity, but a good addition if you want some intense strength building with weights, etc.

no but it has really great workout charts and they are heavy duty and in a folder you can hang on the wall to use while you work out.

A poster came with it that showed various exercises. I think it's on amazon as an addtl photo

I would recommend you to get the full version of insanity, if you want to gain muscle. This is just a warm up for insanity. Hope I answer your question.

No, nothing like insanity, p903 is a better pace and slower. Less stress in the knees...p903 is much better

I haven't done insanity before but by looking at it this will be light stuff and probably not as challenging. Have you tried P90X if you are looking for a challenge?

I think it is the price! The trx probably comes with workout, but they are basically the same. Youtube has lots of workouts! Check that before you buy it, my favorite is Fraiset Quelch(sp)
