Insanity Max:30 Tabata Power Review

Earlier I had done two separate blog posts - What is Tabata?Is Insanity Max:30 Like Tabata? If you do not know what Tabata is, these two posts are great references.

and

Simply put, Tabata exercises are done 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off. After completing week 1 of Insanity Max:30, I have to confess that this is by far my favorite DVD in the series. All of the workouts are great, but 20 seconds on makes me PUSH HARD. You can do anything for 20 seconds - c'mon! And then the 10 second rest recovery of a light jog brings my heart rate down just enough that I feel rested and rejuvenated (crazy after only 10 seconds, huh?) to kick it back up to 10 and go again.

The DVD works through segments that focus on various parts of your body. You have a leg segment that is various lunges and jumps done in a plyometric fashion. Most hate jumping - I honestly don't care for jumping but I do it anyway; however, I know that there are some that really can't do jumps because of prior injury, etc. For that you have a modifier that takes out ALL of the jumping but still gives you a great workout.

The DVD also focuses on upper body with push up varieties, as well as tricep exercises. I can't tell you how much I hate push up rows; however, despite the extreme hatred for the exercise, I find myself pushing through those the most. The one thing Insanity Max:30 has taught me is to take the hate, and roll it up into fuel to power through. Shaun T says that there are always those moves that you HAAATE and those are the ones that you need to dig the deepest on and overcome. For me, that's push up rows in this workout series. My favorite move would have to be the tricep dip reaches. I love those!  Upper body also has a great modifier which largely has you dropping to your knees rather than being up on your toes.

Finally you have your abs, and also scheduled on this day is the Ab Challenge - a new ab workout from Shaun T that is 10 minutes long and I LOVE! Sometimes you do ab work and you wonder, "Did that really do anything?" With the 10 Minute Ab Challenge there is no doubt in my mind that it is working and is going to work to shrink my mid-section, which is an area I always have issues with because of how small I am.

Like I said in the beginning, Insanity Max:30 Tabata Power is by far my favorite disc in the series. It pushes you to work at your hardest level and really pushes you to actually MAX OUT.

Insanity Max30 Cardio Challenge Review

When I received my Insanity Max30 kit in my hotel room, I was bursting at the seems with excitement. I think I did sort of an awkward walk/run combo as I was leaving training class. The moment I got into my room, I popped in Disc 1: Cardio Challenge.

Cardio Challenge serves as your fit test for the Insanity Max30. It doesn't gradually introduce you to the program - it throws you right in (and I like that).  Cardio Challenge lived up to its name, raised the heart rate, made you work, but at the same time it made you excited for what was to come in the following days and workouts. It really works your abs from all angles without having you get on the floor for mindless crunches. It's one of those workouts where you think to yourself, "There is no way in hell that if I stick to this program I will NOT see results". I think it would be impossible.

One of the best parts about Cardio Challenge is the modifier. As a certified Insanity instructor, I always check out the modifier on the programs. I have individuals attending my class of all age and fitness levels, and I am always looking at ways to help them outside of class - or give them a program to do on days that we don't have class. So for me, monitoring the modifier for this program was key.

There are two words that I would use to describe the modifier in this program: Awesome & Appropriate.

Modifications were fantastic for the exercises being done, and really took it to a level where I think many people would be very comfortable completing the exercises. I would not have any hesitations on recommending this program to anyone at all.

Overall, Cardio Challenge is awesome. I really didn't find any negatives about the exercises or how the program was laid out. It was fun, it felt like I really worked, and before I knew it, it was over.

Insanity Max 30: Cardio Challenge Preview

Cardio Challenge is the Insanity Max 30 way of knocking out your fit test! In the original Insanity, this workout would be called the "fit test", but in Insanity Max 30 it is done a little bit differently.

Shaun T is going to give you some of the moves you will be doing throughout your workout (there are over 150 new moves in Insanity Max 30!) and it's your job to push yourself to your max, and write down the time of when you take your first break. You will have a calendar, or workout sheets, on which you will write down and keep track of these times. Then, during the other workouts done throughout that week, you can refer back to these start times and know what you have to beat. Even 1 second more on an exercise pushes you to bigger and better results. Remember, victory is always just
one more step. Just one more step. Can you take just one more step each day? I think you can.

What is Insanity Max 30?

Have you heard?

Shaun T is BACK!  with a spinoff of his #1, hardest-in-home-workout-ever-put-on -DVD-get-you -crazy-ass-results-workout INSANITY.

Now, I may be biased being a certified Insanity instructor - I teach multiple times a week because the original workout changed my life and I want to give that life change to others - but this workout - shoot - it looks AMAZING!

One of the reasons people love coming to my classes it that the majority of them are 30 minutes long. In. Out. Work up a sweat. Max calorie burn. That's how we roll and I have often times thought to myself, "If that second month of Insanity wasn't so long, I'd do it again - but my time is so limited".

I've said for a while that Shaun T and I should be BFFs and it seems that we've got that ESP(N) thing going on because he has HEARD. MY.PRAYERS!

Enter Max 30.

5 days a week
30 minutes a day
60 days total

We've got this.

And everything is new. Over 150 NEW MOVES will be a part of this workout, and if you checkout my Facebook or follow me on Instagram I'm going to be previewing some of them before they come out, along with their modifications.

Now before you say, "So basically this is just Insanity taken down to 30 minutes - isn't that less insane?" No. Definitely not.

In Insanity Max 30 Shaun T introduces Maxing out. Every. Minute Matters. Think of it like running - sometimes you just have to make it to the next telephone pole. Then the next one. Then the next one. It's about setting these small goals for yourself within the program going at your max, and when you max out, you write down the time.  The next time you do that workout, you look at those times "Okay, I made it to 45 seconds -- today I'm going to 50 seconds". Just like the original where it's a mind and body game - Max 30 is the same way. It's a test against yourself.

I'm going to be giving you short, but informative blogs about the workouts as we move on through the weeks leading up to the program's release date of December 4th (Ho Ho Ho! Do I see a gift idea?) I'll also be running sneak peak groups through my Facebook page that you can request to join as well to learn all you can. If you are already thinking that this sounds like a great idea, I encourage you to click on this Insanity Max 30 link and get on my exclusive list-why??? Because when it is released December 4th you can ONLY get it through a coach - it is not released to the general public until later in the month and as a coach - we get to offer discounts!!!

I really hope you are as excited about this new program as I am. I know it's going to be a game changer with my crazy schedule. Shaun T changed my life once - I know he's going to do it again!
