By

V shred toned in 90 days review image

You can do a lot in 90 days — break a nasty habit, plant a TikTok-worthy vegetable garden, save $1,000 to your emergency fund, or bring your totally hot European fiance (who’s definitely not a catfish, by the way) over to the States on a marriage visa.

Or, you can completely revolutionize your body with V Shred’s Toned in 90 Days (maybe).

This three-month ladies-only diet and training plan is another pet project from V Shred founder Vince Sant. This time around, he swears you’ll lose 17+ pounds and add more definition to your entire body — without quitting carbs, starving yourself, or running on the treadmill for hours.

Oh, wait, you’ve heard all that before? Same here.

Read on to hear our thoughts on the V Shred Toned in 90 Days program.

Insanity vs Insanity Asylum: What’s the Difference?

By

Insanity vs insanity asylum image

According to quite possibly my favorite Quora answer ever, Insanity is when somebody isn’t mentally fit, while Insanity Asylum is where said folks go for treatment.

(Hey, they’re not entirely wrong.)

No, but really, Shaun T did us no favors by naming every Insanity program something totally non-descript like “Insanity” or “Max 30” or “Asylum Vol. 1” or — how clever — “Asylum Vol. 2.”

Both Insanity and Asylum Vol. 1 are in dead heat as the #1 and #2 toughest programs on the Beachbody platform. But what’s the real difference between these hit Insanity programs?

Read on to learn the difference between Insanity and Insanity: The Asylum.

Yes, Insanity Asylum is Hard (Complete Review)

By

Insanity asylum review image

Then again, we’ve yet to see a Shaun T program we’d call “easy.”

Insanity Asylum (Vol. 1) is almost 30 straight days of unrelenting training purgatory. (OK, that might sound a smidge dramatic, but many agree that Asylum gives Insanity a run for its money.)

This athletic-based program requires an insane amount of mental willpower, strength, and stamina. Shaun T even dubs these speed, agility, balance, and coordination-heavy workouts the “hardest” you’ll ever try … which is mildly terrifying considering he cooked up the OG Insanity.

Well, that’s exactly what Shaun T’s Focus T25 program promises, which gets our skeptic juices a-flowin’. So let’s dig deeper to learn more about this program (yes, that was a Shaun T-ism).

V shred fat loss extreme for her review image

The boss babes are circling overhead, waiting for the perfect moment to drop that dreaded “hey girl 👋” message and rope you into buying their poop — sorry — skinny weight-loss teas.

But it doesn’t stop there. Social media is flooded with detox shakes, juice cleanses, CICO, Tabata training, essential oils, and Shake Weights (how on earth did nobody realize?).

There’s always a “next big thing” for women struggling to slim down or tone up.

But is V Shred’s Fat Loss Extreme for Her the real secret to losing 20, 30, or even 50+ pounds? (V Shred founder Vince Sant sure as hell thinks so.)

Cali move body transformation basics review image

Historians trace the art of calisthenics — or bodyweight exercises — back to ancient Greek gladiators preparing for the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C.

Now more than 2,500 years later, calisthenic training is still one of the best ways to improve all-around strength and sculpt what many coins the “Greek God physique.”

Cali Move’s Body Transformation Basics is a 29-week beginner program featuring calisthenic progressions to increase strength, muscle size, and total-body stability.
