I admit, I’ve been a little lax on my blog updates, and overall fitness for that matter. Just like any normal person in this world, the things in my life can have their ebbs and flows. During this particularly snowy, wet and cold winter I did my fair share of hibernating. But, I’m happy to say that the sun is out, the snow has melted, and I’m back working out. On the advice of my friend Brian, I decided to try the Beachbody Insanity Workout. I was on the fence between this and P90X, and what pushed me toward insanity is that you don’t need any equipment. It is a 2 month program that has workouts 6 days a week. The workouts are entirely body weight and cardio driven. So, you want to know if it really is insane, right? A resounding YES is the answer, but in a good way. The workouts so far have been a very high quality routine based on the use of proper form and high intensity intervals. Shaun T, the main personality of Insanity, Is not just another super buff guy. He’s encouraging and seemingly quite knowledgeable. Watching these DVD’s for two months straight with an annoying talking head COULD be an excruciating experience but I don’t find him annoying at all (in fact, He’s funny).
The workouts: Did I mention this is a 2 month program? That probably sounds a little strange to you if you are used to dealing with 90 day programs, but this workout is seriously intense enough that with proper nutrition you can get in unbelievable shape. There are 14 different workouts included in the program. So far, I am just 1 week in and I have done some of the workouts twice already.Not a big deal for me. I looked forward in the schedule, and there are looks to be an entire set that I will not touch until the second month of training. I plan on uploading some before and after photos, as well as program reports. I will also touch upon my current food plan in my next post.
