Understanding the American Obesity Epidemic. Obesity â everyone knows itâs bad and that itâs everywhere. Nearly 78 million adults and 13 million children in the United States deal with the health and emotional effects of obesity every day. The solution to their problem sounds deceptively simple â take in fewer calories a day, while cranking up the calorie-burning process with regular exercise.
Insanity claims to burn up to 1000 calories per workout, although most people have recorded anything from 200 to 600. To get a more accurate picture of the calories you are burning with Insanity, invest in a Heart Rate Monitor.
Insanity DOES work. Iâve done the 60 day program once, a year ago, and I was in the best shape Iâve ever been in. It also helped me improve my running speed. Iâm in the army so I was already in pretty good shape. I think the hardest part is just starting that first week. After that itâs addictive and well worth it.
