Friday Fight, Round 1: It’s a battle between your body and your mind as you fight for time in this Max Out Challenge. Tabata Strength: Shaun T takes it up a notch in this NO REST, Tabata-style strength workout. Sweat Intervals: Get ready for 30 minutes of screaming, sweating, calorie-scorching madness.Ĥ. Tabata Power: Your muscles will beg for mercy as your strength training starts with Tabata-style “20 seconds on, 10 seconds off” power moves.ģ. Cardio Challenge: 30 minutes of the hardest cardio sequences you’ve ever tried. I love knowing I will be done in 30 (plus 10-15 min if I do abs).ġ. Seriously though, the fact that the workouts are short really gives me the motivation to push hard. But not everyone is a beast like I am □. I can make it to the end of all of them without taking a break (aside from the ones in the workout - there is always at least one short water break). The next time you do that workout, you try to go longer. The idea is that you go for as long as you can without having to take a break, and when you do, you mark down your time, and that's when you've "Maxed Out". The workouts are divided into month 1 and month 2, but honestly I don't find month 2 workouts all that much harder than month 1 workouts. You also get a nutrition guide, calendar and program recommendations, but I always toss that stuff out. So think burpees, jumping jacks, lunges and push ups. They are all easy to follow, with no complicated choreography. There is more variety though, which I like. They are even more intense than the original Insanity workouts, but similar in terms of the moves/exercises. I LOVE that there are 3 ab workouts included (1 10 minute, and 2 15 minute) and all are killer! The only exception is the 2 Max Out 15 workouts that also have 15 minute ab workouts (so total is 30 minutes). The workouts are all exactly 30 minutes long (duh!), plus 2 minute cool-down/stretch. As you know, I have Insanity and The Asylum, so I am obviously a Shaun T fan. This is pretty frickin' awesome because I got 12 DVDs plus a bonus Live Insanity Sweatfest DVD featuring the cast from the original Insanity program. I got it for an insane deal from Amazon.ca for $49.99. My boredom a few months ago led me to purchase Shaun T's Insanity Max 30 program. The only problem is I get bored quickly, and I also like to continuously stay challenged. Though I can certainly put together a workout for myself, I like having someone else do the work and push me while my mind and body wake up at 5am. But I do love doing fitness videos to mix things up. Gone are the days I have much interest in teaching fitness classes (I still personal train out of our home), and long gone are the days I have any patience for having others around while I workout. Its kind of ironic that I have gone from being someone who worked at, and worked out in, gyms for hours a day, to someone who hates gyms and would much rather work out at home.
