This is the exercise that shocks your body into adapting or collapsing. Repeat, alternating sides with the hooks until the next move. Throw 8 hooks to one side then do four jumps where you bring your knees to your chest. The burn I feel in my quads during this exercise is unique, not in its intensity, but about how much I hate the sensation. When you come down, land softly into a squat, and shoot your arms back like you’re skiing down a hill, keeping your knees together, then jumping back the way you came. Jump up and to the side without twisting your upper body. Get into a squat, keeping your knees together. Ski-downs are the least pleasurable move in the sequence. As I advanced through the program, my breaks decreased. I fatigued rapidly in this workout and frequently had to take a breather.
The rest is a 15-minute blitz of 15 exercises for a minute each.
After the warm up and the stretch, you get a water break, and that’s it. Shaun T even says in the stretching portion that he’s nervous for the workout. Pure Cardio: The most strenuous workout in Phase 1 and my least favorite. There’s only so much you can do in a minute. If this happens, use it as motivation for next time.Īs you get better, it gets harder to beat your previous score. I failed to improve on an exercise just once, low plank obliques between day 15 and day 36. Other tests you’ll struggle to surpass your previous outing. Today, I have Max Interval Plyo.Some tests you’ll experience significant improvement across the board. I pushed, I screamed, I cursed, but I finished and I felt accomplished.įast forward to this morning and I feel like I was hit by a damn bus, but I conquered a demon yesterday morning in my living room and it feels good. I REFUSED to allow my eyes to wander over to the lower left hand corner of my screen. I made a decision to NOT look at that clock again. Round three and beyond, my body took over. “WTF?! I’ve done this before! I’ve completed this! Get up, bitch!” is all I kept telling myself. I kept looking at the clock and before I knew it, I was kneeling on the floor after in & outs, crying. Round two of Interval 1, my mind was winning. My mind began to tell me I couldn’t complete this. I pushed myself through, but my eye….it kept wandering to that damn countdown bar and it didn’t like what it saw. Round one of Interval 1, I kept telling myself “You got this”. The warm-up feels never ending, the stretch a welcome relief and then…the first interval. “59 minutes?! Are you kidding me?!” At that moment, doubt begins to creep into my mind and the game begins. You pop that disc in, ready to make this workout your bitch and you are greeted by a countdown bar at the bottom of your screen that says you have 59 mins remaining. Max month (to me) is a smack in the face. They build up your confidence and show you just how amazing your body is and what it is capable of doing.
It physically prepares you for what month two is getting ready to dish out. The workouts in month 1 are all under 40 mins and end right around the point you start to psych yourself out and say “I can’t do this”. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, month two of Insanity is all mental.įor those of you who have done the program before, you know what I am talking about. Month 2 started yesterday and as I expected, I struggled through my workout.
