I've done Insanity before & loved it. Do you think this will be challenging enough? I like variety in my workouts.

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!

Not at all. Hip Hop Abs is really fun but, no where near as challenging as Insanity. Hip Hop Abs almost seems like its for beginners or just a daily maintenance video to get you off the couch everyday. Hope this helps.

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?

Insanity is definitely a hard workout. Hip hop abs is similar in that it will work on other muscles that you may have not worked on before. It will make you sweat and you will have have fun. So yes it is challenging, but in a different way.

It is fun and sometimes grueling. I think it would be a fun deviation but certainly not as challenging. Though I will say you will feel it in the areas you are working.

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!

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 would be tough for a beginner. More so if you have no sports or workout background. If you are just out of shape and trying to get back into shape then you can just start out slow and work harder as you become more fit. If you are in decent shape and new to workout videos then it will be a good challenge. I hope that helps:)

Yes, I think it would be too basic/easy and you would be bored with it if you enjoyed P90x & Insanity.

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.

I did not try Insanity. I do have bad knees and I have to modify some of the jumping, but I don't find it to be too much stress.

I did insanity first and found that it was a little hard on my knees and hips, but I really loved the workout. I ordered T25 because it looked fun and I needed a shorter (but intense) workout for when I travel (which is a lot!)...plus I love Shaun T! :) I was pleasantly surprised when after doing T25 for 3 weeks I realized my joints weren't hurting at all! There is a modifier (Tania) for every move so if you're just starting out, or something is hurting you, you can follow her and the workout is still intense and fun. Good Luck!

I love hip hops abs! It's fun, however, I saw more cut in my abs when I did Insanity.

It depends on your fitness level. Anyone more advance than beginners, IMO will not feel a challenge.

Hi Kelley. To be honest, I guess it would be helpful for the hip hop abs DVD, but not for this one. There are standing sprints(running in place), jumping jacks, good ole push ups, knee repeaters, different jumps all of which one could easily get the hang of(I never bought the insanity series and I get all the exercises). It s very fast paced, but DO NOT get frustrated...set a goal for yourself like each day maybe you'll get in some more high jumps than last week(or something of the nature). Wishing you the best in keeping yourself physically fit!

There is a low impact modification for people with bad knees, back, ankles, etc. My wife could not do Insanity because of the high impact, but she has finished Alpha and Beta rounds of T25 with amazing results doing all low impact modification. What's the best is we can do it together for motivation. I do the regular workout and she follows Tanya, the low impact modifier person.I highly recommend this workout to anyone. In fact, we saw such dramatic results, we are now doing the Gamma cycle.

Hello Kelley. I was no t familiar with Insanity at all before I got this DVD. This one DVD combines the entire DVD set into one workout.

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

It's no where near as loud or stompy as Insanity. Has the potential to be loud if you're clumsy or struggling through the movements a lot I guess. I did this workout barefooted or in socks (wasn't high impact). I think it would probably be fine for an apartment.

Do the real Insanity series. That's worth the $. This video is an added bonus video and the quality is terrible. I returned mine. I've been doing Insanity (the complete series) for 2 years and I love it. I do Gillian when I feel like I need to take it down a notch on some days. Insanity is Gillian multiplied and fast-fwd'd. I love both for a well-rounded workout.
