When looking at these two programs, T25 vs Insanity Max 30, you will see a lot of similarities and might think these two programs are more or less the same.

• They both last 25-30 minutes per workout
• T25 is a 70 day program, and Insanity Max 30 lasts for 60 days
• T25 is five Workouts per week, Insanity Max 30 is six workouts per week
• They basically have the same number of different workouts

But once you get into the programs, you get a very different tone from Shaun T. Depending on your fitness level and goals, one program will be better suited for you. They’re both great programs and both will cut inches from your waistline, blast fat, and improve muscle definition.

Insanity Max 30 vs Focus T25: Which Program is Right For You?

In either program, you will lose weight. Both Focus T25 vs Insanity Max 30 will get your heart rate up and covered in sweat. The main difference you’ll notice in the workouts themselves is that Insanity Max 30 pushes you harder (both in the workouts and through Shaun T’s style).

Insanity Max 30 workouts ask that you push yourself at each move as long as you can bear it — there are no reps and you perform each move until you reach your limit. The idea is that you will be able to do more moves and last longer each week. Shaun T takes more of a drill sergeant role to his coaching in Insanity Max 30, almost yelling at you to hold out a little while longer and keep focused.

In T25, Shaun T wants you to focus on good form (and not just go 100 m.p.h.). He still does a great job at motivating you, but he is nicer about it in T25. T25 also does a better job at showcasing modifier movements, which are great for those early workouts while your body is still getting used to the program. T25 workouts are usually ask that you do as many reps as you can in 30 or 60 seconds — again stressing form more than volume.

So What Will I be Doing in Focus T25 and Insanity Max 30?

Now that you understand how the intensity differs in the workouts, you can understand how the programs are structured. T25 starts by focusing heavily on cardio in the “Alpha phase.” There are five workouts you do each for the first five weeks, and a sixth ab workout you do each week. There is more lower body workouts that will improve endurance, begin to shape your glutes and thighs, and drop fat fast (you’ll likely lose the most weight in these first five weeks).

After five weeks, you begin the “Beta phase.” Here, you have the option to add resistance (if you have weights or bands at home). While still including plenty of cardio, you will do more body resistance work that will build strength in your arms and shoulders, and begin to see more inches shed around the midsection as you build your core muscles.

Insanity Max 30 doesn’t shift the same way as T25. Instead of one phase being different than the other, the second month is structured very similarly to the first month. Each week, you will do two cardio-heavy workouts and two strength-heavy workouts. On the fifth day, there is your “Friday Fight.” The Friday Fight is kind of your progress checker, as you will try to improve on how long you can do exercises before you fatigue. As Shaun T says, “it’s a battle between your body and your mind.”

In month two of Insanity Max 30, you still do two cardio and two strength workouts, but they use more complex movements, use longer intervals, and is a much bigger challenge.

Insanity Max 30 workouts…

• Similar workouts in month one and two

T25 workouts…

• Begin focusing on cardio, and end with strength building
