This is pretty much the first DVD in the set and boy was I surprised how hard a 42 minute long workout was.  The Insanity workout begins with a warm up that  consists of 3 minute intervals.  These intervals are supposed to get your heart pumping and in the first 3 minutes I was pumping.  You warm up for 9 total minutes and each round consists of  jogging in place, Jumping Jacks, Heisman’s, Heisman 123, Butt Kicks, High Knees and Mummy Kicks.  You can easily understand a few but a Heisman 123 is going back and forth and then going into a quick Heisman pose.  Mummy kicks are kind of a joke but still decent cardio.  Start with arms straight out and as you shuffle your feet you have to cross your hands at the same time.  After all is done you get a quick 30 second break and holy crap that was just the warm up.

Arriving at the facility was quite an experience as I was
