Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit

This was the first Insanity workout I ever did and I just remember saying to myself, "What did I get myself into?!?".  They actually give this workout as a sneak preview when you purchase other Beachbody Programs.  The marketing team must know how to recruit cardiomaniacs by introducing them to such a tough routine that they want to come back for more, or they're a bunch of idiots for scaring off potential customers.  Either way, it doesn't take away the fact that this routine is a killer and I've yet to be able to finish without taking at least a couple of breaks.  You will have nightmares of Shaun T yelling "In!  Out!  In!  Out!"  Don't know what that means?  Try this routine out and trust me, you will!  Here's a break down of Plyometric Cardio Circuit:
