Insanity Pure Cardio is Day 5 of the Insanity Calendar, and it doesn’t disappoint! In just 38 minutes, you can be burning close to 500 calories!

We’ll breakdown the workout below, but make sure to check out our full Insanity Review & Results.

What to Expect with Insanity Pure Cardio

Pure Cardio uses max interval training. So you’ll be going all out for 3 to 5 minute blocks and then get a break to let your heart rate go back to normal.

Max interval training is like HIIT training which burns 9x more fat than traditional cardio.

You can always take more breaks than are offered, but your goal is to get through the whole workout!

Stretch
