Unlike other Beachbody programs, INSANITY Max 30 gives you an option to freeze frame on a modifier. This is helpful if you want to follow along with the lower impact moves as you work your way up to the full blown workouts. But the question that is out there is: will you still get good results with the INSANITY Max 30 modifier?
Today I decided to follow the INSANITY Max 30 modifier as part of my MAX 30 Fitness Journey. I wanted to see how many calories I burned, my average heart rate, and see if this was truly legit for anyone to start!

INSANITY Max 30 Modifier Shocking Facts
I really think these are shocking facts because for ME, they really were not as I expected. I thought I’d do OK, but not that I’d burn so many calories!
- Modifier Calories Burned: 475 Calories vs. Unmodified Calories Burned: 593 Calories
- Average Heart Rate Modified: 140 BPM vs Unmodified Heart Rate Average: 150 BPM
I also thought that I was more focused and could really focus on muscle control when I was modifying! That is SHOCKING to me as I didn’t expect to burn THAT many calories or have THAT high of a heart rate.
What does this mean??
I truly believe that anyone could really start off slow and modify INSANITY Max 30 as they get better in their weight loss and fitness!!!
Here is a screenshot of what the INSANITY Max 30 Modifier looks like. See how it is aligned to the right of your screen? That makes it SO much easier to follow along and focus on building up your results!!

Hey Coach,
I’ve finished T25 Alpha and Beta and now i feel like doing the gamma phase. Now… they’re are two variations with the PURE GAMMA and PURE GAMMA STRENGTH HYBRID. I don’t know which one to choose. I’m 5’7″ and weigh about 140 lbs… I’ve lost about 30 lbs overall from this program. I now want to start building muscle but i don’t want to raise my calories because i’m scared to gain the weight back. I want to be lean with about 10% body fat but have muscle definition and strength for future programs (weight lifting or P90X3). So which gamma program is best for me? And what should my calorie level be at? Thanks!
SweetLifeCoach says
@Evander great job on completing Alpha and Beta!! There is definitely an interesting decision to be made between Pure Gamma and the Gamma Strength hybrid.
What is your current body fat percentage now? Either one can work, but keep in mind the strength hybrid may serve you very well because the focus on muscle strength during a cut of body fat can help raise your metabolic rate, meaning more calories burned and more body fat burned. Depending on your body fat and short term & long term goals we can aim for a calorie target.
Feel free to team up with us too (all free) and I’ll help you get set up: http://sweetlifefitness.net/join-sweet-life-free/

Evander says
Hey Coach. I’m about 15%-20% body fat but I’ve lost considerable amount of weight. It’s more of getting my diet right with some fine tuning. Short term goals are to get athletic and long term goals is to stay athletic. So which workout calendar would benefit me? Thanks!
SweetLifeCoach says
@Evander I’d personally rock the Strength Hybrid and as you mention dial in your nutrition 110%. I recently found with my Max 30 results (click the link below this comment) that it ALL came down to the proper nutrition all the way. Keep me posted on your progress!!

I am on my second last week of round 2 and I’ve modified the entire time minus a couple of moves. I find it to be a fantastic workout.
SweetLifeCoach says
danielle8572 awesome Danielle! That is great to hear and you are right – it is a fantastic workout and you will definitely rock it!! Keep me posted on your progress 🙂

Hey coach. Thanks for your work on this. It’s really helped me. I’m on week 7 and I’ve modified the whole time. My body fat was 36% when I started but now it’s about 27%. The thing is, I’ve not lost inches on my stomach and I’ve only dropped 2 pounds. Is this normal? I’m 5ft 10 and weigh 15 stone 5 pounds. I’ve been eating about 2500 calories each day (mostly protein, cards and veg).
I’m now able to do a full 30 minutes modifying now almost every day. After I finish next week I was wondering whether to do the programme again unmodified or if I should start p90x3?
Thanks in advance.
SweetLifeCoach says
NickNickyMackison Hey thanks a bunch for stopping by and great job rocking Max 30! You may want to take a look at your overall nutrition calculation for 2500 as that may be a bit higher based on what you do throughout the day (for example, if you have a desk job/etc, you may want to lower that a bit). Feel free to check out the Max 30 nutrition guide and also reach out to me directly and we can chat more about what might work the very best based on your lifestyle: http://sweetlifefitness.net/insanity-max-30-nutrition-plan/
NickNickyMackison says
SweetLifeCoach NickNickyMackison Thanks for this! It seems I was eating way too much. I’ve now finished Insanity Max30 on the modified tracker and I’m taking a week off before starting again. I’m wondering what your thoughts are regarding which program I should do now? Should I do Max30 again with the proper nutrition or should I go for p90x3? (I notice that p90x3 allows a bit more food in the diet). I’ve still got a good bit of fat to burn.
SweetLifeCoach says
NickNickyMackison SweetLifeCoach I would recommend a 2nd round. I just finished up my second round of Max 30 and toned up even more with a few more inches lost. Definitely focus in on that nutrition guide and also eliminate fake sugars. Here is the latest compared to my round 1.
