With a name like Insanity, the workouts must be tough, right? Well, they are. You will get the fuel you need to power through these intense workouts.ĭoes Insanity live up to the hype? Let’s find out, starting with how it works. In addition, we’ll introduce you to changes to the diet. In this insanity workout review, we’ll breakdown the program calendar in detail. We dug into the program, looking into how it works and what types of results to expect. It sounded too good to be true so, we decided to try it out ourselves. That’s it for Plyometric Cardio Circuit.In just 60 days, Insanity promises to put you in the best shape of your life. The workout ends with cool down stretches and breathing exercises like the ones you did during the warm up.
Finishing up #2 Drills with Jabs, Cross jacks, Uppercuts, Kung-fu Attacks.
#2 Drills: Basketball drills, Ski abs, Level one drills (pushups + floor sprints), In-out abs. Finishing up #1 Drills with Switch feet, Football wide sprints – you get a 30 second water break here before going on to. # 1 Drills: Suicide drills, Power squats, Mountain climbers, Ski jumps – repeated 3 times. The exercises you find in this circuit are: This is the secret behind this exercise program that defers from conventional exercises where the graph flips to offer larger chunks of rest time and short bursts of intensity which doesn’t offer that much of a workout. The premise behind setting up the exercises this way is I nterval Training – which allows your heart rate to shoot up while you workout for larger chunk of time and allow it to briefly come down while you rest for a short while before you start over again at high intensity. You will feel a lot of things you haven’t felt before like your feet going numb, losing breath, wanting to barf, choking on water your drinking, light headed-ness, profusely sweating+ sweat dripping, wanting to give up, among other things. Once you’re done with the stretches you get into the tough bit starting off with – # 1 drills. ‘putting in effort’ you WILL notice you sweat a lot more during the stretches than the warm up which I found interesting! The stretch sequence has a series of breathing exercises and stretches, if you are doing them whole heartedly ie. Once that’s done there is a short break (about 30 secs), and you go into a stretch sequence (which is really important to prevent injuries and Shaun T does stress this in practically all of his videos). This helps your muscles warm up, makes you sweat (a little – or a lot) and gets your heart beat going. The warm-up routine is repeated three times -each time getting progressively faster. The warm-up consists of jogging, jumping jacks, Heismans, 1-2-3 Heismans, butt kicks, high knees, and mummy kicks.
Alrighty then… the Insanity workout officially starts off with the Plyometric Cardio Circuit workout.
