Shaun T is most famous for his incredible workout DVDs. Since his major fitness success Hip Hop Abs, Shaun T has come out with Rockin Body, a few kid workout programs, and most recently Insanity Workout.

It was in February of 2007 when Shaun T came out with Hip Hop Abs, a fitness program that specifically worked out your abs. Hip Hop Abs quickly became the #1 fitness program in America, people were in love with getting in shape and getting flat abs by dancing and having fun. It definitely has been Shaun T's biggest success, Hip Hop Abs revolutionized how people were working out. After the success of Hip Hop Abs, gyms all over the country were having hip hop sessions for working out, even today there are still workout classes that are focused on dancing hip hop to lose weight.

Hip Hop Abs is a 30 day program that comes with four main workout videos, but also includes fitness and nutritional materials to help you shed fat. Hip Hop Abs also comes with an extra workout session and three dance routines that you can just have fun with. It literally is the funniest workout out there.

After the success of Hip Hop Abs and helping millions of people flatten their stomachs without doing a single sit up, Shaun T did not want to stop there.  So in 2008 he released Rockin Body, which had new dance moves and 7 different workouts on 2 discs.  Rockin Body quickly became a hit and people all over the country were loving the new workouts.  Rockin Body also cames with new material to help you with eating on the go, so you can make healthy choices.  Rockin Body also came out with workouts that just were not for your abs, but they were full body workouts, with one session targeting your butt.

The fitness materials that came with Rockin Body were also very helpful, it had a workout calendar, a new easy to follow Nutrition guide, plus a 3 day slim plan, and a party guide.

Shaun T has now taken in a new approach to his workout DVDs. His most recent workout and definitely his most difficult and best fitness program yet is called Insanity. It is called "Insanity" for a reason, it literally has been said to rival the P90x workout system which has been on top of the home workout world for the last 4 years. The Insanity workout is way different than Shaun T's Hip Hop Abs or Rockin body. The main difference is that there is no dancing, it is straight up in your face "Max Interval Training." This is no joke, these are the type of workouts that world class athletes do. The other difference is that the Insanity workout is 60 days long, instead of 30 days. The workouts are anywhere from 40 minutes to 80 minutes long, and will make you sweat and burn fat like crazy. The wonderful thing about Shaun T's Insanity workout is that there is o workout equipment needed. It is all done with your own body weight, and when Shaun tells you to do a rep of an exercise, it means do it until you can't do it any longer. Shaun T will push your muscles to failure, which seems brutal, but it will bring incredible results to your body.

The Insanity workout is not only said to be the best for from Shaun T, but arguably the best workout on the market. If you are wondering, the Insanity workout comes with 10 DVDs , a nutrition guide, and a fitness guide.
