How to Survive Insanity with Shaun T.

By Lisa

So you decided to take the Insanity 60-day challenge! The method behind Insanity is MAX Interval training. Sure, you’ve heard of interval training but this is different! With MAX Interval training you work harder and longer and rest less.

Insanity 60-day workoutHow do you survive it? I talk to many people who start Insanity only to discover they can’t keep up! It’s intense. Here are some tips to help YOU not only survive this workout, but get amazing results!

  • Take the Fit Test. If you have a difficult time completing the Insanity Fit Test, then be honest with yourself – you may not be ready for Insanity. That’s OK. Not everyone is. Consider another Beachbody program to prepare yourself for the most intense fitness program ever created for DVD!
  • Wear supportive shoes – seriously! There is a lot of plyometrics in this workout. You can injure yourself if you wear crappy shoes!
  • If you get sore, that doesn’t mean you should stop. No. Normal soreness is expected and you can use ice or ibuprofen. If you are really serious, try the P90X Results and Recovery formula to help your body recover faster from such an intense workout. Just be sure to drink it within 30 minutes of completing your workout.
  • Are you eating right? Let’s be honest. If you eat crappy food and do an intense workuto, I doubt you will survive it or get any good results. Fitness is exercise + eating healthy. If you are not willing to do that, why bother? Don’t skimp on calories either. If you eat too few calories to provide your body with the necessary energy to do Insanity with Shaun, then your body will think you are starving it and go into slow metabolism mode. Then you won’t lose any weight at all!
  • Food is a source of energy that gives your body the nutrients it needs to survive fitness programs like Insanity! Be sure to read the Elite Nutrition guide carefully. Determine your daily caloric needs and pay attention to “when to eat”. If you feel like your are still lacking energy, you can try adding Shakeology shakes to your diet. Shakeology goes great with the workouts and will help boost your energy and provide those nutrients you may be missing from your daily intake of food.
  • Get support! We all need support from time to time to stick with a goal or workout. Contact your Team Beachbody Coach or log into your Team Beachbody account where an entire community of people can help support you in your fitness goal.

Stop thinking about getting fit and just do it the right way!

Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning Workout Review

By Lisa

The Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning workout is 47 minutes of pure endurance training. Endurance training is a type of exercise that increases your stamina and endurance. Performing these type of exercises strengthens and elongates the muscles for preparation of extended periods of use.

Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning workout is one of 10 DVDs included with Insanity 60-day workout program. If you are an athlete, max cardio with Shaun T. can help you train train for endurance to compete in running and biking races. If you are not a competitive athlete, you can train to burn calories and fat.

Shaun T. starts you out with a 10 minute warmup that includes the usual faire of running in place, jumping jacks, side-to-side jump rope, high knees, and more. In true Shaun T Insanity style, you do circuits through the warm up, performing the exercises a little more intense and fast with each circuit. The warmup is followed by a few minutes of a much needed stretching session. The warmup is so intense you may think it is the actual workout but it’s not!

You will get pushed to your limit with this extreme Insanity cardio workout as all the exercises are performed at an advanced level. You use the Insanity Max Cardio DVD in the second 30 days. You will need the base conditioning achieved in the first 30 days in order to do these exercises.

The endurance workout is 32 minutes long. You may not think that is much time, but when you do this workout, well it’s so intense that you may not make it through the 32 minutes. You will be doing nonstop jumping high low exercises, football runs with drops to the floor, high jumps with low moving squats, floor jack pushups, and much more!

Shaun is awesome at constantly pushing you through the workout – you will need it! He stresses good form at all times, there is no room to get sloppy on these exercises if you want to get results. Shaun also stresses staying in control at all times. The Max Cardio conditioning Insanity workout will have you working harder than most of the other workout DVDs included with the 60 day program.

If you want to get in great shape and do the hardest workout you may ever experience on DVD, then get Insanity. It is tough but when you see your body changing, your heart rate lowered, your endurance and ability improved, you will see why it was all worth it!

By ordering Beachbody products through Team Beachbody, you save BIG on shipping and handling – and who wants to pay more for that?

You start your 60 minute workout with a 10 minutes warmup consisting of a set of intense exercises (you thought this was just a stretching warmup did you?) When the first circuit is complete, you get to do it 2 more times! You do the first set of Insanity Max Interval Circuit warmup exercises at an easy pace. The next set you go faster, and the final set is even faster! After the warmup, you will be tired and sweating, so be sure to pace yourself or you will never make it through the real workout!

In the warmup, you get to do exercises like jogging, straight arm jumping jacks, side to side floor hops, and jumping air rope side to side. Shaun reminds you that he is “here to train you and kick your butt today – I am not playing!”

When you finish the warm up, you can get some water (you’ll need it) and a nice stretch for 5 minutes! Take advantage of this time folks and be prepared for what is to come next! When the Insanity Max Interval Circuit stretch is complete, the real fun starts!

Shaun takes you through a series of exercises performed in a circuit. You do each set of exercises and repeat the set 3 times total. The last set is ALWAYS fast and furious! You’ll be doing Shaun T. style exercises like sprinting with lunges, oblique pushups (knees to elbows), power strikes, frog jumps, and floor switch kicks.

The exercises in Max Interval Circuit are intense and near the end of the 60 minute workout, you will be feeling it! Think you can keep up? Think again. It may take you a few tries to keep up with Insanity Max Interval Circuit!

Shaun takes the intensity down a few notches with 3.5 minute much needed stretch that you will be thankful for! Insanity is NOT for a beginner. If you have what it takes to bring your fitness to a whole new level, take the Shaun T. Insanity challenge. It will challenge you!
