What type of space do I need for Insanity? Is this something you can do in your living room or basement, or does it require a lot of space to run around?

You should definitely invest in some crosstrainers. There is a lot of lateral movement in this program. I put down interlocking gym flooring over my carpet. Looks like a big grey puzzle but working great to keep the sweat off my carpet and easing the wear and tear.

Hello Kelley. I was no t familiar with Insanity at all before I got this DVD. This one DVD combines the entire DVD set into one workout.

There are some of the steps that move side to side and forward and backwards. Eight to ten feet of floor space would be great. You could get by with doing the steps all from the same position if your space is limited.

I think that depends. Is balance something you need to work on as well? If so, I would get a bigger board to give you more space to practice.

You need about 8' of head room and a 10' by 10' space would be plenty adequate, but I would warn against buy this machine as it is not a good piece of equipment. I bought one for my wife and put it together (which is very time consuming) and nothing worked well especially the fly machine portion. The weights only engage about 4 to 5 inches. I disassembled and returned! Awful!!!!! Buyer Beware!!! You get what you pay for!!!

Thank you. I've ordered it... and have space to keep it up most of the time. Appreciate your reply and information.

No bigger than your average living room. I make it work. I certainly don't have a ton of space.

No not really, I workout in my living room and it's not a huge space maybe 8' x 6' and it's plenty enough room to move about. The Zumba moves typically do not require a lot of space. Hope this is helpful.

This freakin thing ROCKS out on a room that size. And is cycles the WHOLE room, not just close to it......please read my review I just posted, which details how I got a visual of the work this puppy does. (My post talks about "Skim coating"... look for that post. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. I will take the time to help because I researched a lot and found this winner, and would like to help those who are battling in there research.

I think you'll need something bigger. The largest space I've used this in is about 450 sq ft and it wasn't incredibly effective. I usually use it in spaces of about 150 sq ft at the most, where it is incredibly effective.

Not really. Most of the workouts don't need a mat. So you need a space as long as you are.

we used for a smaller space. my opinion is that for a larger space you may need a few. it does work!

It would probably be ideal to have roughly 5' x 7' free. But I don't have that much free space either, so I adapted. I run the program on my TV in the living room and dance along two sides of the dining room table in the adjacent area--one side for sideways movements, the other for back and forth.

A tad more space than Insanity due to the ladder usage. I'd say a 8'x8' should suffice. Enjoy.

You can do this in a small space. If you have enough room to lay down then you have enough room to do all the exercise. It's pretty fun, too!

Indoors? Largely depends on flying skill. Lots of space if you've never flown any RC helicopter, or only little coax experience. Not much if you have some experience. A large living room void of breakable objects would be a good place to start.

I haven't done the Insanity work out, so I can't compare it. The HHA workout is pretty challenging, and lots of fun. The abs part is great too. I think you'll like it.
