gym workout alternative

The vast majority of humankind is getting more overweight, and more sedentary, and with inflation at an all-time high, most people don’t have the cash to spend on a gym membership.

That said, there are plenty of us who would still like to train and make the most of our own bodies, even if it is from home. As a solution, Shaun over at Beachbody made his own version of Shark Week called Shaun Week … I’m intrigued.

What if you’re really busy? What if you’re the CEO of a company, a single mother of 3, or maybe you just watch a lot of Netflix? How can you fit the most amount of work into a few minutes?

Devin Wiggins says you can get a full workout in only 600 seconds – or 10 minutes. I have my doubts.

Anyone who’s completed the 60-day Insanity program will likely groan, sigh, or experience borderline haunting flashbacks if you dare to mention the word “Insanity” or even “Shaun T.”

And, how could we blame them?

Even amongst athletes, the program has solidified quite the reputation — described as one of the most challenging, exhausting, and ego-destroying workouts in the Beachbody collection.

But does it build muscle? Is it beginner-friendly? Are the results worth the achy recovery, near-breathless workouts, and 60 entire days’ worth of fatigue?

Here’s everything you need to know about Shaun T’s legendary Insanity routine:

Bodybuilding training has become the most common fitness thing you see on social media outlets like Instagram and TikTok. While this type of content is incredibly popular, it is also common to find misinformation all the time.

Sagi over at Beachbody on Demand has apparently created a plan that cuts through this misinformation and will get you results. Let’s see if it is really true.

Getting lean has various benefits such as a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, and if we’re being honest, the likes on “the Gram” does help.

Not all of us want to spend hours in the gym, however, and simply want to train at home.

Joel Freeman says he has the perfect program to get you lean. Let’s see what’s what.

“Bonus workouts” aren’t anything groundbreaking on the Beachbody On Demand platform. But we rarely see an optional workout that the hard-to-please Insanity crowd seems to love.

We’re talking — of course — about Insanity Max 30’s Saturday “Pulse.”

Shaun T dubs it a “recovery” session, which could be an hour-long sit-and-stretch workout for all we know (hint: it’s not!). But is it a good workout?
