TOP 13 THINGS I HATE ABOUT THE INSANITY WORKOUT VIDEOS (BUT I LOVE THE RESULTS)

There is no denying that if you watch your diet and complete Insanity, you will see results. Your body will be stronger and leaner. However, I have some hateration to share about Shaun T and his Insanity posse. I can't keep them inside anymore. I've been keeping track of all these little pet peeves in my head and they must be put in the blog. The mental churn is driving me crazy. I've even resorted to mocking parts of the videos during the workout...not good. Here'a list of annoyances in no particular order:
  1. Blonde Ariel- you are THE most annoying member of the Insanity workout posse. Whenever Shaun T tries to talk to you during the workouts you can't breathe and you just squeak like a damn chipmunk. ugh. You have a belly button piercing....really? who still has these? (She's the white girl in the back right of the photo trying to look tough...barf) I also really dislike most, no make that all, of your facial expressions. So annoying and I can't help look because you're like a train wreck.
  2. Speaking of not being able to talk when Shaun T talks to you during the workouts....NOTE TO SHAUN T, all your Insanity posse is tired! So while you're NOT working out and trying to interview them don't make them talk. It's super annoying. I can't breathe. They can't breathe. And you're simply supervising!
  3. Shaun T when you're tired you can't even talk straight. Sometimes you tell me to touch my knee to my knee when you mean touch my forearm to my knee. You forget what move is next and repeat the exercises/stretches out of order. You have cue cards! How hard is it?
  4. It's not motivating to hear the leader of the Insanity posse say he's nervous for the Pure Cardio workout. Shaun T, if your ripped ass is nervous then I should be shitting my pants. I just sat an entire day in my work chair, I'm tired, not in as good of shape as you, and I'm not super excited about running home to workout with you...don't make it worse.
  5. Akeel, I'm sorry I don't know how to spell your name. As many times as I've heard Shaun T yell it because you're quitting during drills you would think I could spell it. You are as ripped as Shaun T but your functional strength is lackluster.
  6. Brown-haired white girl, I swear your name is Ariel too so maybe I have an aversion to the name, but you my friend make me want to hit the mute button. When Shaun T approaches you to workout together and motivate the group you yell every 3rd kick. Why? The camera man even hates you because when you shout like a devil woman she/he pans the camera down to your legs. Get a clue.
  7. Josh, you can't even stretch correctly. When Shaun T has to come over and help "straighten you out" it makes the rest of us stay in uncomfortable positions for longer. This is when I have to go rogue stretch just to keep my sanity. Get with the program.
  8. Chris, I just feel bad for you. You're a muscle machine but you have no flexibility. I'm just glad Shaun T doesn't pick on you. I like you.
  9. It's creepy that I know all your names. Really creepy.
  10. Shaun T, quit selling your magic recovery formula. Water is the perfect recovery formula.
  11. Shaun T, please bring enough of your recovery formula to finish the workout. It's your program  and it's weird when you have to share with your Insanity posse.
  12. Shaun T, it's obvious you're sleeping with Tanya in your Insanity posse. I'm not sure you would mix work and pleasure. It's awkward.
  13. Most annoying of all is that I have to relive all these annoying things because they were all captured on video. So Josh you're always stretching wrong, Ariel is always a train wreck, and Akeel keeps quitting. Yep, the video never changes.
I know that's a lot of hateration for something that we choose to do. Actually we've chosen to complete this program 2.5 times. I can't help it. I'm addicited to the results and the feeling of accomplishment after finishing the workouts. They are really tough and push me out of my comfort zone. Any other workout videos you can recommend? We're going to be onto the next soon...

3/29/13 UPDATE: It's been over a year since I wrote this blog. The number of views and comments have amazed me. So many of the comments are just so hateful. Most commenters fail to read the multiple times I state how I'm addicted to this program and the results and that I've completed the program numerous times. Many commenters state how they are sure I'm a "fat, whiney, bitch who probably sits on the couch all day and feeds my face" and they provide the update that Shaun T is gay. It's still alarming to get emails weekly from complete strangers, most who post as 'anonymous' (read as coward), with such hateful comments.
Let me set the record straight:
1. I'm a 5'9" female who weighs 145 lbs. SO I'm not a fat ass feeding my face.
2. I'm a former college athlete.
3. Sometimes I am a bitch. We all are; however, this blog was more about observations.
4. I'm a researcher, observing things is what I do for a living.
5. I'm gay. I really don't care if Shaun T is gay.
THE END.

Hilarious. I absolutely agree. I do have to admit though, every time Shaun asks that little girl how she feels and she responds "I feel like *bleep*!", I feel like cheering (except I can't because I can't breathe!!!!).

Anonymous said...

I love your observations!!! All very true!!! I feel compelled to mention Franky... his face is priceless until he realizes the camera is on him! We call him "cry baby". AND when the "Beat boy" guy almost kicks Ariel... I always hope that he connects... but sadly he does not!

ARIEL is HOTTT... but you can tell that Shawn T is smashing Tonya..

Anonymous said...

Ummm... do you not realize that ShaunT is GAY. I seriously doubt he is "smashing" Tanya. She was in his Hip-Hop Abs videos and if you watch those videos.. the gayness is obvious. Lots of "HEYYYY!!!" LOL! I can hardly keep a straight face. Pun intended.

Anonymous said...

Shaun T. is gay. He has to be one of the biggest circuit queens in LA. I could see him dancing on a box in club with false eyelashes with his shirt off miming the lyrics to a dance remix of Christina Aguilera's "Dirrrty" while sucking down a cosmo out of a plastic cup.

Please.

But everything else is right. I have to mute these workouts lest the DVDs go in the trash.

Anonymous said...

This made me crack up and I can't wait for my hubby to read it because we have made these same observations! White cornrows guy is hilarious! I thought I was the only one who catches Shaun T messing up his words.. I caught another mistake during cardio recovery today during stretching. we have a love/hate relationship!!!

Anonymous said...

Wow... it's amazing that a keyboard makes losers like you feel compelled to give your opinion to the entire world... as IF WE GIVE A SHIT! If you don't like it don't watch it, moron. Some of your observations are true, though... poor Chris. He looks like he's in pain from the very beginning! Still, keep your opinions to yourself, asshole!

Great article. Shaun T is only Gay when he's not smashing Tonia.

Lol, Ariel's not too bad, but I couldn't stop laughing at pure cardio when the one chick hucks a fat one next to the water bottles... I'm finishing up week three, and Tanya's fit test reps are shite, and I've stopped listening to Shaun Ts transitioning commands bc he's off by a few seconds sometimes, but when I'm doing sidestep pushups to floorsprints... I'm stuck w his lack of coherence to timekeeping.

Dolly said...

I like his posse. I like that they don't have smiles plastered on their faces, they quit, and half-ass. Tania has a tramp stamp, there is no telling who she bangs but it probably isn't Shaun T. That tall drink of water is definitely gay.

Anonymous said...

Anna is hot. Ariel is amazing and the BEST part of the video. She's very hot.

On another note, Tonya is scary and unattractive in virtually every way. Other than the black chick, Tonya is the hardest on the eyes. And the Tramp Stamp only makes it that much worse.

The Wigger is simply annoying. Although it is funny when Shaun tried to get him to speed up and he still does exactly the same slow pace. LOL!!

Anonymous said...

Hahah this is hilarious! Although I have to say i disagree with your comments on Ariel (i believe she is Aria and the other white girl with brown hair is Ariel but w.e.) cuz i think she is SUPER HOT!!!

I got one more to add.. ever notice that ONE guy that is NEVER given any attention by Shaun T? This really white dude thats always in the back row, he wears blue shorts in Max Interval Circuit and looks an ugly version of Neil Patrick Harris. Anyway, seems like he wants some attention, when Shaun T is up front encouraging Anna and Ahkeel, he kinda hops over and tries to do sets with them but they totally ignore him. That completely cracks me up every time!

Anonymous said...

Same here!! That white dude in the back is such a douche. He is able to to the high knees with twist with no problem but then during the squat jumps, he sucks balls.

Anonymous said...

I don't know about you guys but I always feel bad for Chris. Having to third wheel Shaun T and Tonya during the Fit Test and all

Anonymous said...

I just finished week 2. LMAO at post/comments.

Anonymous said...

PS I too thought Shawn T. was smashing Tonya.. after all Tonya is in Insanity, Hip Hop Abs, and Rockin' Body, but then I watched Rockin' Body. Gay, gay, super gay.

Anonymous said...

OMG...I love this post! What about the short white girl who does the push up jacks who looks like she's going to bust an artery? My husband calls her a firecracker. I think she's trying to make up for the time she couldn't keep up with Shaun T on the other workout. LOL

Anonymous said...

Don't forget the Asian dude who does a spin and almost host the white chick. He thinks he's all that acting hard ass. Really annoying!

Anonymous said...

This is awesome... Some other things that get me, Ariel the brunette is albino pail and when she's doing jumping jacks like a robot I can't help hoping she falls on her face. I also can't stand he spanish dude who is always in the blue bearer. He sucks. He has wrong positioning in every exercise and stretch. I dnt think he does one thing right. But I think Ariel the blonde is so hot and would do anything to her on any given day

Anonymous said...

To the Author- Man up. You sound like such a bitch! Go make your OWN workout video that is as hard as monkey $hit if you want to complain. And if you did...Guess what?! People will be talking crap about your video as well.
Just workout and stop complaining b/c you think it makes you sound Smart.

You are so funny! However, these 'flaws' make it real and able to relate to everyone on a human level. It would feel too staged if it was perfect.

Anonymous said...

That girl who always wears the hat is annoying because she doesn't do any of the exercises correct!

Anonymous said...

Totally agree, I think everyone would be even more pissed if it was too perfect.

Mike B. said...

Insanity is awesome because by showing ripped people suffering like us out of shape people, we can have hope. Or at least feel like we're less of a failure by not keeping up Shaun T. I LOVE the roast about the posse, though. I think it's GREAT that other people find the imperfections in the video as freaking funny as I do. And one to add... Tonya... gorilla? She makes some monkey faces and during the recovery week video I'm pretty sure she tries to sound like a freight train - "Whoooooo.....Whooooooo".

Blond Ariel is pretty hot, but during most of the the first month she plasters a grin on her face that kills the motivation.

Shaun T MUST be gay to touch all those women the way he does to "show proper form" without them slapping him.

Halfway through my recovery week now... wish me luck through the rest of it. By the way... the funny shit you pointed out will definitely be things I look for from this point forward to bring myself some comic relief while I'm torturing my body. Thanks!

Like the comment Shaun T makes "I'm nervous for what's coming next". Not cool!

I love Shaun-T, kind of sad when my husband showed me a video on youtube( he is on a radio show) and you cannot deny his gayness. I still love him, he is my coach and he is helping me and my husband to get fit.
Do not like Ariel, the way she shake her head when she is jogging is ANNOYNING, I just try to focus on the wall or something.
Good luck and keep getting fit ;)

Anonymous said...

LOVE how we can all comment on this and how we recall every moment in our torturous workout to find relief. I personally think that guy with the Cornrows is funny when he does half-ass Power Knees and has this "I'm dying look to him". Cracks me up every time.
But that being said with all the dislikes in the video we still come back for more......

This is one of the funniest things I've ever read.

These are funny. I love seeing Akeel give up on most moves. Even when Shaun was telling him to do speed up, h didn't change. So, Shaun just went on to the next guy.

Ariel is HOT! Her body is one of the best ones there. Also, Shaun T isn't gay, unless he is bi. Saw him with a beautiful woman at a club in LA.
Love the observations....so true. I just turn the volume down now. 2 weeks left!
Anyone else noticed really strong legs, abs are ok, but nothing at all with arms or chest. It's more of a weight loss video that muscle building.

Unknown said...

Oh my gosh! I thought I was the only one that gets pissed at Shaun T for only doing like two reps and then walking around doing nothing but talking. Yet I want to get toned and skinny so I have to do it.

This is freaking hilarious. Some people need to loosen up and realize we are all working out and finding some humor in the pain we go through while working out!

Thanks for the good laugh :)

Anonymous said...

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this blog and all the comments!!! I have been using the Insanity videos since January 2010 as part of my workout regement, so I know all the quirks all to well. But it is funny as hell to here other people talk about them... LMAO!!!!

NJ said...

Omg, #4 made me laugh so hard, b/c I just did that workout today for the first time, and it was like, "Oh, s#!t! What am I in for?!?" Great blog post.

Anonymous said...

Great blog post! To the idiot who thinks we are just sitting around, watching the infomercials, there is no way to know this much about the 'posse' without actually doing the workouts. I am down to my last two weeks, and these observations still make me laugh every time. Just once I would love to see Ariel get kicked in the face by the guy coming out of his backspin. She has an amazing body, but has sort of a jacked up grill, and that look on her face after she almost gets kicked makes me wish it did happen. Absolutely agree with everything thats been said about white cornrow guy and Tonya; its like she wants to be the center of attention, except the one time she tries waving the camera out of her face during a water break, BEYOTCH! I knew Shaun T. was gay at the end of pure cardio when he says "that sh*t was bananas, yo!"

Anonymous said...

Ok first of all - This is so funny. Secondly, has anyone noticed on the cardio recovery for month one Shaun T says "you're not done" and does this MEGA feminine twist?!?!?! That is my favorite. That was the first time I started believing the rumors that he was gay :(

And Ariel and Tonya are so freaking annoying..mostly Tonya...and let's all agree Akeel is a little bitch when he screams "I NEED A BREAK" ahhahaha

But anyways, INSANITY is awesome and is better than any other workout I have ever done. And gay or not, I love Shaun T. I get so scared when he gets super close to the camera because I feel like he is really watching me. But the comic relief in the videos are some of the best parts.

Anonymous said...

I respect your opinon because your obviously entilted to it but, honestly why the constant whining over the "mistakes" in the video who takes the time and critisizes someone working out and hates someone just because they can't breathe in the interview... your like a little kid its kind of comical and sad at the same time

Anonymous said...

Here's something that's annoying. In plyometric cardio circuit shaun tizzle, only does one side of knee contractions and forgets the other side. What's that all about shawn tee?

Frankies facial expressions make me want to punch him in the face the first month but the second month I have a change of heart. Lol

And on that note....."yeah liz yeah..... Perfect form right here" and now you're smiling because you loooooove it!

Anonymous said...

Stumbled across this blog - we've done Insanity on/off the past 2 years. I laughed at most of the comments, as we've made them, too. Was wondering if some of the butthurt posts are from the actual posse (i.e. reference to the posters as being fat asses on the couch eating cake). Don't you know, part of the workout is swearing and laughing at the a-holes on the video.

Tonya's Left Buttcheek said...

If you're able to make this many observations you aren't working out very hard to begin with.

You shouldn't be taking couch breaks and grabbing the twinkies during your 30 second rest period.

Anonymous said...

This is probably the most hilarious thread I've ever read. I can't help but noticing all of these things every time I workout. It's almost like an extra workout to laugh WHILE doing the routines. Tonya and Ariel don't irritate me, but that's probably because theyre a relief from the hatred I developed for Drea and the ugly ginger in the p90x videos (yes, this is irrationally mean, no I don't care). Im actually jealous that tonya can smile while doing the workout. I don't think I could do that even after completing 300 cycles of insanity. I was hoping someone point out the ghostly pasty chick in the unflattering green soffee shorts about to freakin lift off on the third warm up set. She's another one I think is named Ariel. And i kinda feel bad for the poor black girl.. The camera guys get some bad shots of her and it's clear she can't hang sometimes as she "wants to go home". Another thing I've noticed is a shorter dude with a caterpillar unibrow. There's one video they get a close up of him making a hilarious face where he's exhaling and his eyes are huge, then he realizes the camera is in his face and changes expression. Priceless. Then there's the little "over 40 something" participant who never shows up in a sports bra. But she is damn serious about her pedal/lunge moves. Haha props to her. Even if I were fit enough to be featured in one of these videos I wouldn't agree to do it because I would be the one people would make blogs about.

Anonymous said...

Above poster, actually the over 40 chick/alisha half asses it at first until shaun t comes up to her. Next time you are doing pure cardio and the pedal comes up observe her immediately, you'll notice how she half asses it.

TriciaC said...

True, true, all true and hilarious. However, keep in mind that each workout was done in one take. I saw a vid about the making of the dvds and the director realized that there would be NO second takes. The cast just could not do it because the workouts are so intense. So yeah, Sho-awn makes a few verbal flubs, but you know what he's trying to say. And I know I've been in some classes where I am so tired and swampy in my bathing suit areas that I have no dignity left. To see that they are also exhausted, doing the "Oprah ugly cry" faces, squeaking out their barely coherent replies. It, somehow, makes me feel better. And, pasty redhead girl, you know, if she still looks muscular and is so pasty, she's doing ok, because I think pasty and muscular looking are like day and night. I like them all and you can't deny, this workout is @$##@ awesome. Favourite like, to Rachel, "You never wore a sports bra before Insanity,huh?" LMAO and I think cornrow guy is ?Gianni? Shanina, I'm not even sure what she is doing in these dvds. I think I go at her pace and even harder in some parts. Tania, former danccer for Britney Spears. I like her, I don't like her facial expressions, but I like her.

The funniest part to me is the over 40 lady doing upper cuts. You can see her in the background. Her pedal is also awesome as well lol.

Xavier Edwards said...

Honestly everyone is entitled to their own opinion but making judgements and picking on people will not get you very far in life. I enjoy Insanity, It is a great program I feel no hate or dislikes towards anyone I appreciate the program and team. I also am doing hip-hop abs I don't think Shawn T is gay if he is so be it its his life. I honestly feel like he was playing and getting a fat check, I also Feel his attitude was like that to cater the program more towards the females, but hay that's just my opinion I'm enjoying Both programs and that's all that matters. oh an i agree with Shawn t and Tonya lol she gets a lot of camera time, and Ariel Is beautiful.

Anonymous said...

Ariel is adorable and hot at the same time. Definitely the hottest chick in the workout. I doubt if anyone could keep up with her.

Shaun T does a good job with the DVDs. He talks to people so we learn from what they are doing and to show everyone gets winded. Seriously, you care who he's tapping?

Anonymous said...

This made my day!

I highly doubt that there are two chicks on the Insanity posse named Ariel. My guess is he mistakenly calls the red head Ariel. A subconscious thing from the Little Mermaid being a red head.

The most annoying part for me is his lack of English skills. Eg. "My arms is tired". Sorry Sean T, but you need to practice your verbs buddy.

On the variety of people in the video. I can just imagine the producers before choosing the posse. "Okay, we need a red head, blonde, brunette, Asian chick, black chick, some wiggers, and a few Mexicanos too".

So, in conclusion.....just remember...gentlemen...."keep your knees soft when you are jacking"

I believe Akeel screamed "I DON'T NEED A BREAK!" Get it right, weirdo! And if you're not in decent shape like the people in the videos, then shut the fuck up, work your fat ass slim and stop being so judgmental. And the same goes for all you stupid out of shape, can't do anything but complain about a simple workout video fat asses who attempt to comment about this rebuttal.

For all you weirdos claiming the over 40 chick half-assed throughout the insanity workouts, you should see her in insanity-asylum and then compare your strength to hers. If you are nowhere where she is, shut the f' up!!

Ariel is hot but I hate her facial expressions and the way she always nods with approval over EVERYTHING Shawn T says. I can also do without the way she constantly jerks her neck on every punching exercise, it's like her head is about to fall off!! haha

Anonymous said...

These are so hilarious. I love the half-assing because I don't feel so bad during the workout because they can't make it either. Things I've noticed is Shaun does more talking than working out. Shanita must have been a last minute stand in for the really muscular black guy that didn't come for that episode. She's horrible! Tanya got help from Shaun during her leg lifts. Not fair! Josh sits after every couple of reps! Shaun tells Cornrows to get his butt down like 5 times and when he finally succeeds, Shaun says Don't go too far down to a very perplexed Cornrows. I was peeing my pants! Also, I know Tanya and Shanita by name but which one is Ariel? I thought it was the pasty red head. Some say the brunette...which one? The one with the long curly brown hair that power jumps in a very high, abnormal way? Or the other one that claws at the camera like a cat when she does her mountain climbing rep? Or the blonde that has to use more feet during the suicide drills? And which one is Akeel? Every time he screams his name, I'm looking down, trying to convince myself to go on.
As far as my results go, I'm on the last week of month one. I'm losing weight and inches, but my belly still shows no definition. My pushups hasn't improved, and my thighs aren't as firm as they should be during my squats but tight when I'm standing straight.My arms are more muscular and the back fat is almost gone with the exception of the creases under my bra. I'm not as tired as I used to be but this week, my legs feels like I have on freaking weights! Also, I have replaced an old ankle injury for an annoying knee injury but I'm still going. Oh, and I want a cake donut and a bowl of ice cream really bad!!!

Diamond Brown said...

LMAO Shaun T is gay I don't think he's banging Tanya

batrup15 said...

You people sure do bitch a lot. How about to stop criticizing the videos and actually workout. Do you really think these video are going to be perfect?? No, becasue of how intense the workouts are. And if you are working hard enough, you're probably not able to talk, that's why Shaun T has to stop all the time so he's able to speak. So stop picking the videos apart and workout. Maybe you will actually get the result that you want.

Anonymous said...

I don't think it's funny, doing all those workouts at least the way they do. Tanya's real good in workouts. She's good at stretches got a great stamina and power. Aeriel's fantastic with leg raises. She raises beyond 90 degrees. I love Rachel, she's the one I keep my eyes on whenever she's in any of the workout videos. I guess we have the best volunteers that Shaun T could possibly get or I guess one day we may need to volunteer, while volunteering, our videos taken and then played again. and at some point even we would make such faces as it's not Drama here. It's a power interval training and I just love it. I'm trying hard to lose the love handles but guess since I'm in India, the staple food may not help me lose them soon. I'm trying my best. And yeah this blog made me laugh like never before. Dig Deeper folks. Focus. :-)

Rachael said...

Unless you are perfect yourself, you really have no right talk so negatively about others. Sean T obviously tried to make the video more realistic so he could relate to his audience. Every single person on this earth does something annoying. I find your negativity to be extremely irritating so I will never read another post of yours. Maybe you should adopt a different workout program and fresh attitude. For the record, Tania is married, so neither a tramp or sleeping with Sean T.

I just get the feeling that if you can't make a workout video then you shouldn't denigrate others'.

I wonder if you do anything well when I read you so upset about small details. Everyone's annoyed when they're sweating, watching workout videos.

I think you need to evaluate how you approach life more than any workout film.

But thanks for being honest I guess (though in the future, try to put it to some use).

Yep, the fact that he totally forgets several moves on the left side leg stretches is very annoying! Considering how much people pay for this program! My husband and I just pause it and do what he forgot an curse him and Tanya and keep going.

Anonymous said...

You know, I have this conspiracy theory, that his really in shape crew, is coached to fake being tired. I only say this because I'm not ripped like all of them and after doing the same video 3-4 times, I can get through the moves and without collapsing. So, I think they are doing it do that the people watching are motivated to keep going. I know that when I watch fit people collapse, I say to myself: "well, I'm not sooo bad, because I'm not even as fit as Akeel, and I haven't fallen over after jumping jacks!" I think they are faking it.

Akeel said...

Who ever made this list is just stupid. Those exercises are extremely hard. Sure I may quit a lot but I'm pretty sure I do better than you do. This was not an easy program to do. We had to go through weeks of training before we actually started this program in order to get our form just right. I am personally friends with Tanya she is not sleeping with Shaun T. Don't get jealous just because she is very good at getting her form right.

Hi

You made my day with this article !

I think that the imperfection of the posses make them likeable because you feel them more human.

I can't imagine people doing Insanity workout with a smile on their faces from the beginning to the end.

That would be annoying.

Rachel is great when she's doing the abs movement on the floor in "insanity max circuit" . Perfect form . She's really working out her abs.

I'd honestly bang the blonde ariel, and the other short blonde bubble butt chick, lmao... Anyway I do insanity in the morning as fasted cardio, then weight training after work, awesome ass results. I hope everyone here is fit and not just talking shit lolol

I recommend that you try P90X and 90X2 if you haven't already and Insanity asylum. Also power 90 and 10 minute trainer is good too. DO NOT TRY REV ABS that is the worst ab video made by Beach Body by FAR! No offense.

What is even more awesome is when he tells her to sit down! Like, ummm, you are no bigger than a toothpick and you got sent to the corner. And THEN he follows it up with "GET FIT OR GO HOME"! Awkward timing or inappropriate timing? LOL

Ahhh finally some sense!!! How I'd love to be a fly on the wall watching this lot do everything perfectly, with attractive expressions, while keeping exact time.
I'd bet money that Shaun T and his posse would push harder than any of these whinging bitches at home.

I agree with you if ariel are the white girl in the front...

Thank you Shaun T for freaking me out before Pure Cardio even begins.

No hate for the lazy spic mario that has NO business in a workout video, but gets plenty of camera time? I suspect he only gets camera time so we can laugh at his sorry ass. Plenty of motivation in these videos, but he doesnt motivate me to do anything but want to punch his pathetic wetback ass.

Anonymous said...

Oh man this is some funny stuff. I don't agree with all of it, but it's awesome. Blonde Ariel is hot, I could watch her workout all day. She does have a squeaky little voice though, you expect more confidence from a hot girl like that. Please don't kick that beautiful face backspin toolbag.

I like little Adrianna, she's the one who spits on the floor and says "I feel like shit!". She's spunky, love it.

I like when he says, "do what you need to do to get ready", and the girls start punching themselves in the legs. Cracks me up every time, I don't know why.

That cheesy guy with the corn rows, everything he does makes me laugh.

Why is your left leg your "back leg"? I don't have front legs.

Anyway, I love the videos. Making fun of them eases the pain.

At one point in one of the Max videos Shaun tells Akkel to take a break. You can barely hear it, but if you turn it up Akkel says "I don't NEED a break". He totally sounds like a Klingon.

I just cannot believe I have read this and some of people post. SERIOUSLY? Holy CRAP!

I mean seriously? Is some of you are FAT and depress? And that you are so jealous people being such a great shape?

Yeah some have to yell out, some look like little show off, some go over extreme to make faces cause they are WORKOUT THERE ASS OFF. Also encouraging people at home that it IS OK if you make faces.

So who cares. They are FIT ...they are allowed to pump up, yell out or even do faces.

I am doing the videos and I really REALLY dont care what people are doing. I am there to loose the FAT and get back in shape. So like it or not...I am part of the group and like Tony from P90X would say, do your best and forget the rest.

ps: All the girls YES even Ariel or Tonya are fracking HOT .....actually it motivate me more. ;)

all I see is haters. So glad some of you stay home and dont go at the gym...holy crap. Bitch bitch bitch! pathetic.

here have a bucket of Fried chicken and watch HoneyBooBoo.

Ariel is hot. No two ways about it. Tanya is definitely teachers pet. The brunette on the left is like the energizer bunny with kangaroo legs.

the short blonde is Anna. She is the best one in the video. She is also in the Fast & Furious video. She is a beast. In Fast & Furious, there is a guy Martin than Sean keeps ragging on because he is dogging it. But, not my Anna, she is getting it done, totally!

Frankie is cool too - his running is out of control.

I love this site - really funny. I agree that Akeel is funny because it seems like he is quitting all the time. However, in doing the videos I have tried to keep up with him (on things like jumping jacks, etc.). He actually is going quite fast, and if I try and keep up with him, I wind up tiring out. So, props to Akeel for working hard.

Danielle said...

I am crying over this. Too freaking funny. I've been talking about Tonya's "porn" face since day 1. She over breathes and over emphasizes. It's absurdly funny. And the fact that Akeel gets winded doing the knees kills me. I can do that shit till the cows come home. And I love when Arianne does her fast jumping jacks with the straightest legs in the world while Shaun T talks about not locking your knees. These videos are awesome and I've never pushed myself harder but sometimes you have to laugh at everything to keep it in perspective.

I'll keep this simple just in case that's all you understand. You're an idiot! All videos are like this. The trainer/host will coach and just as much as possible while interviewing. He talks to the crew to show how intense it is yet you could still keep pushing. Even though you may be tired and want to give up you should still keep going. Look at how in shape she is, she can barely speak yet she keeps going sort of thing.
Part of being in the cast is acting and show. Just like some work out videos have controls to show alternate versions of the work out they have different stamina levels. One that never quits and keeps going like nothing, Tonya, some that look like they are exhausted and out of breathe, Akeel. Look at this guy he looks ripped like an NFL wide receiver yet he needs a rest too! Besides, you don't know if he may have respiratory issues. Keep the mental stamina and motivation of the people working out at home up!
You complain about Shaun T out of breathe and can't talk or think straight. They are all out of breathe! I'm out of breathe doing the work out! I can't talk or think either! You are probably some 30 something fatty living in your mothers basement writing reviews telling mommy you'll move out as soon as you get your big writing break. Haven't showered in days playing the new Halo and getting your ass whooped by 12 year olds on Japan. Get your fat ass off the lazy boy, clean the cheetoes, Funyuns and Ho-Hos out of your beard and actually TRY the workouts!! Better yet you might want to start with walking outside, maybe get a job. Probably stay away from McDonalds, you might eat all the profits.

2. Some of Shaun T's stretching is harder than the actual session!
3. Shaun T, why when you go into flat back do you sometimes make us keep our arms straight out?? It feckin kills and is NOT a warm up! :(

My two fav people in the videos are Rachel, shes a machine, pretty, doesny have a squeeky voice or tramp stamp and isnt favored to much ny shaun. And Chris. not over the hill marathon fredo from the godfather chris...i mean black man silent badass chris in the back row.
He is also a machine. I like rachel a lot tho. sexy and tough.

@comment 7

Did you seriously just call someone a moron while using the terrible "don't like it don't watch it" argument?! It's not a valid counter to criticism. It's commonly used by people who can't handle criticism.

Also note that they said they like the workouts and are just naming things they dislike about it. Not that your argument would be any more valid even if they disliked everything about it anyway.

Maybe if somebody told you "don't like this article then don't read it" you would see how flawed this type of argument is.

This is probably my biggest pet peeve because all it takes is a little bit of critical thinking to see how flawed that phrase is when used in response to criticism.

As for the article itself. I don't think it's meant to be taken all that seriously anyway. I took it as more of a humor article than anything.

@comment 21

Your logic is just as bad as the comment I addressed before this. So if they can't make a better workout video themselves that means they aren't allowed to criticize it.

Let's apply this logic to other things to show how flawed this is.

Person 1: I don't like this movie.
Person 2: I'd like to see you make a better movie.

In this example just because person 1 can't make a better movie doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to criticize movies. The opinions of movie critics or just people in general mean much more than the movie producers themselves anyway. I also see people use the same flawed logic with other forms of media such as books or video games.

PoniBoi said...

Shaun T is gay, he's definitely not sleeping with Tonya. I have noticed a few funny quirks on the videos, but nothing I'd actually consider annoying or at least not annoying enough to sit down and blog about it, but I'm actually doing the workouts as hard as I can, I'm concentrating on pushing myself harder each workout not on the "bad thing" from the editing process. Some of that is in there probably on purpose to show you that they are really working not just fitness models looking pretty. If you are noticing all this stuff enough to take note and blog about it, you're not "in the zone" you should be in. And Ariel is hot as hell and can beat the shit out.

PoniBoi said...

OMG,really??????

I agree with you if ariel IS the white girl in the front...

And Shaun T is gay, just got married to his partner. So I doubt he's bangin Tonya..

After so many times through these workouts, it's hard not to notice everyone's idiosyncrasies.

People are being too sensitive. We all deserve the right to make fun of how stupid we all look getting beat to hell by these routines.

Seriously? Don't buy the workout if you hate it so much. Your article is not funny. I bet "Akeel" can do more insanity in his sleep than you can regularly. Shaun T is gay so he's obviously not sleeping with Tawnya. She is a good motivator that is why she is on there. The workout is made to inspire you to change your way of life for the better, to exercise regularly which you are obviously not doing. It doesn't matter what the people look like or what they do the fact is that they are doing it and they look and feel amazing. It's sad we live in a world full of people like you.

You people who take this blog so seriously need to get a life, or better yet, a sense of humor. Everyone on this site loves insanity and is killing themselves doing the videos. No one watches insanity just to make fun of the people in the video. We're doing it everyday and can find the humor in these people. For example, Jonny "cornroll" dude is the biggest freakin slacker in the group. Watch power cardio and resistance and the dude doesn't even pick his legs off the ground during the heisman. Sure, he's in great shape, but he's still a slacker. And by the way, Anna is the hottest and, by far, the most fit. Just watch Insanity Fast and Furious to appreciate that.

lol this thread cracks me up because I've thought a lot of the same things while doing this s---. on week 7 of second round now.
i've learned that
1) tonia looks ridiculous in month 1 with her faces and "wooo!s" but tones it down in month 2
2) blonde ariel has a weird hotness to her in the way she watches shaun t explain moves and nods alot, but does have really good form
3) k-fed is hilarious when he points to the camera, then looks at his water and takes a sip
4) akeel: how can you be so ripped and such a p---y?
5) anna or rachel are probably the overall best as far as being able to do the workouts w/o slacking off
6) jeff (b-boy?) almost kicking ariel in the face and then high-5ing the guy behind her is hilarious
7) the scene where the guy ( don't know name ) speeds up doing scissor runs because he notices the camera is on him is great
8) they should have more in-flexible people in the group to show those of us who, you know, aren't professional gymnasts or dancers, alternate ways to do the stretches without tearing something.
9) the infomercial for hip hop abs with tonia talking about how she got great results from hip hop abs that played RIGHT AFTER she was in the cardio abs workout seemed ironic...
10) the "hurts so good" guy in the back telling me i "gotta focus man" when i just watched him slacking off like a mf-er during the shoulder burners exercise of the recovery week is annoying.

in all it's entertaining to watch while in pain. if people are taking this stuff seriously, they need to get off the internet a bit and get out more.

Anonymous said...

this is hillarious! Shanita is my least favorite next to Tania, I laugh everytime when I see her push the camera away, thank god shes only in a couple videos. I do love the results I get from the videos but damn do I hate it when one minute Shaun T is saying "stay with me, you gotta stay with me" then three seconds later he says "go at YOU OWN pace" wtf?

I was also surprised no one mentioned, until a few posts ago, that Shaun T talks in the 3rd person frequently. "Aw Shaun T is starting to sweat!" Does he think he's Karl Malone? Is that a gimmick or does he actually talk like that? Also, not sure why he repeatedly tells us to make sure we breath. Seriously, is that necessary? Do people forget to breath and pass out? Is that really a common problem? Finally, people need to stop getting all butt sore that we are making light of the program. Get a sense of humor. Love the program. Both my girlfriend and I are seeing amazing results! Could care less that Shaun T is gay. Guy has a great product. Hilarious blog, too.

the "magic" recovery formula is actually legit. i'm not saying the one they sell is worth it, but if you really are depleting your glycogen stores then a recovery drink with the right carb to protein ratio is not a bad idea. chocolate milk works great for this. look it up.

2 observations: By the time you are doing MAX you have been into this for 5 weeks, why does Shaun T need to correct the Posse on how to stretch, shouldn't they know it by now? What about the 40 year old doing the sprint-lunges, when Shaun talks to her she has to over-exaggerate her positioning, like she has to keep up with the youngins. I noticed she didn't come back for MAX.

I am still liking his videos, and I think he is hot. lol Great job on the blog! I didn't read most of the comments, but with any blog, the cowards come out.

OMG this had me in stitches!!!! I agree with everything... and I picked up the Shaun T/ Tanya interest after the first DVD! I have a few more to add... how about the fact that he refers to himself in the 3rd person?!?! Shaun T, you're a douche. What about the blond white girl who claps after each exercise? You can't really be that excited to do this workout. Dude that breakdances after the workout, WOW can someone please bottle up your energy?? Cuz Ariel wants to punch you in the face. Kelly F, over and out :)

I am three weeks into the program and I love it! I must say thank you though for posting this! I have laughed my butt off sitting here reading this after yet another grueling exercise! To read this actually makes me feel normal about all my hater thoughts I have while sweating like a filthy pig in my living room floor! I have caught myself screaming "damn it Josh!" At the tv more than once. And everytime he asks Tonya something I yell out "oh shut up!" I am completely jealous of her unhuman ability to rarely ever stop during these things!

Thanks again for the great laughs!

I'm just shocked that out of all the things you hate, Tonya is NOT one of them?! I can take Ariel and the rest of the crew, but Tonya's monkey-faces make me want to smash my TV. I'm all for focusing on the workout at hand, but she seems to be overacting for attention, and it pisses me off.

Perfect. This is absolutely perfect. My roommate and I are on Day 40! We can't stop laughing at this post!

I know I'm in the minority on this one but I find Tonia incredibly sexy. Yes, she has a super intense look on her face most of the time during the workouts but it works for me. I'd do her. Yes sir, I'd do her hard.
