Jump rope – No you are not using an actual jump rope.Jog – For the first round, don’t go crazy.OK, no deviation from the norm here, the warm-up is the same as all the other videos thus far. I believe that if you HAVE to do it this way, then at the very least do some ballistic stretches just to keep moving. I still don’t like the fact that you do an intense warm-up to get your heart rate and core temperature high, then immediately go into static stretches. Like every other workout in this series, the structure is Warm-up, Stretch, Workout, and Stretch. These workouts are even a better deal for you because you don’t have to watch other people waddle their fat ass around the gym trying to look cute. I know that even though both Julie and I just explained what “other people” do, that does not apply to you, and you only have “a few extra pounds” to lose, and the “I don’t have time” crowd. The beautiful thing about this Insanity or any of the Beachbody workout DVD’s is you don’t have to worry about looking like an ass in the gym if you are that self-conscience. Charles is right, this isn’t for everyone. Once the serious people come back, then it’s all about getting them to push themselves an understanding intensity. The ones who only came to say “I work out everyday, I’m cute, I’m in shape,“. The ones that are serious, they love to hate me and they come back. This is when I find out who is serious about working out and who just thought they were coming for another easy group training. How hard can this be? Wham!! Hard, just like this DVD. I mean, they workout already, they lift weights, they do the elliptical, they cycle, do Pilates, whatever. First of all, most people (new people that is) come into my F.I.I.T (Focused, Intentional, Intensity, Training) camps thinking that it can’t be that hard. “I think the biggest thing I have to keep reminding people of is what INTENSITY really means. To further emphasize this point, here is Julie, my editor and F.I.I.T.Camp instructor extraordinaire, explaining what she sees during her training. It’s like they are more concerned about trying to look cute than really doing what they need to do ( BUST THEIR ASS). My pet peeve:Īs a fitness trainer, one of the most annoying things about people working out is they don’t really *go-for-it* and most of the time it’s the people who need it most (read: FAT PEOPLE). To me, this is the mark of a really good workout.
The workout is almost an hour long by the 35 minute mark I’ve already blown a gasket. Think slightly harder than an “average” P90X workout….yeah that good! This is Insanity Max Interval Circuit. This is one of the hardest if not the hardest workout I have done in the whole Insanity series.
