I’m convinced this might be one of the toughest workouts I’ve ever done. But, there are still some strength and power exercises thrown in. It’s also probably the most cardiovascular oriented workout. X Trainer has perhaps the most difficult (technically speaking) moves of all the DVDs. I didn’t review the agility tutorial because it’s not a workout in the true sense. (Take a break now, if you’d like, to watch a humorous video where “Jeff” tries out Asylum Volume 2).īelow is a brief review of each individual workout. Personally, I don’t follow it since I have my own low carb plan that works for me. The nutritional plan is solid and is pretty standard dieting material. Although not essential, I recommend getting one for the best workout possible. I highly recommend buying dumbbells to get the most out of your workouts and do the moves properly (bands are very awkward on some moves).įor a man, the bands are also not challenging enough.

Larger strength bands are an option, but not ideal. To complete the workouts, you’ll need an agility ladder, a jump rope, small bands, and dumbbells (sold separately). After the workouts, I’m sore, but also exhausted. In terms of results, I’m getting stronger and tighter. It’s no wonder that there’s a whole DVD devoted to explaining the most difficult exercises. A few of them involve four or five exercises built into one “move,” especially the agility sequences. The moves also require serious mental focus and prep. The exercises are insanely challenging! In fact, on a scale of one to ten, these moves would be close to a nine, especially if done with heavier weights.


Almost every workout in Volume 2 has a strength component and a few of them (Upper Elite, Power Legs, and Back and 6 Pack) are primarily focused on weight or band exercises. Insanity the Asylum Volume 2 moves even further in the strength training direction. The original Insanity focused on cardiovascular training and Asylum mixed in true strength training. The set comes with a workout schedule (3o days), a 60 day Asylum Volume 1 and 2 hybrid calendar, a quick start guide, a detailed eating plan (Get Shredded Volume 2), and a short guide to transform your body (The Playbook).
