This morning I popped in the Plyometric Cardio Insanity workout to see how far I could go. I got through half of it 🙂 I knew I wasn’t starting the program so I didn’t start with the Fit Test.
even the fit test is a MONSTER! LOL!1 -

Mmm, I haven't been too solid with my workouts myself (recently finished 80 Days and I had a very non-fitnessy, non-MFP, yes-chocolaty, yes Netflixy week last week.)
However, I did do Insanity back in the day and popped some workouts in recently (while finishing 80 Days). And I must say, they're not as hard as I remembered! They're super tough, sure... but they have a very extended stretch after the warm up. And lots of little breaks in between. It's only 20 minutes of work and it's not straight through.
If you compare with T25 (which I know you've done), where there are no breaks for 25 minutes... not too shabby!
Plus, even on top of the established rests, you can tell you're not expected to go form start to finish without extra breathers here and there, because they show the cast taking breaks the whole time. Shaun T even encourages them to do so. A couple of seconds to regroup, you know?
Lastly: you started with the toughest one of all (IMO), haha. I know it's the first one, but Jesus, it's killer! Cardio Power & Resistance, for example, is much kinder.
With Insanity even the warm up kicks butt, but I really think it's much more doable than people think. Especially those who have done newer workouts, with lest resting time.
The biggest cons are the longer durations of the workouts... and there's no modifications to follow (I, luckily, never have to follow modifiers anyway), there are some moves which are pretty hard impact. If you can do them, just be sure to use correct form and it should be fine.
I'm "getting back into it" starting today as well = )
Luckily I woke up motivated and eager to get serious again.
...and I'm ignoring that my pants fit just a tad tighter, hehe, I'm keeping my head up and programming my week.
Good luck!
PS Never done Isanity Max 30, but it sounds super fun and super duper challenging!! Hope you like it, let us know!!0 -

You can do it!! I finished 80 day obsession and I was so proud of myself. Reach out to your coach or find a different coach that has a private accountability group to keep you accountable and have fun with it!!

Body beast week 5 day 2 - bulk legs done!1

LoL I’ll have to remember that!even the fit test is a MONSTER! LOL!
@sophia162 Thanks for the info! I think if I had been consistently working out, it might have been a bit “easier” 😉
One of the additional workouts I received with it is Sweat Fest. That’s what I did today. I got through almost all of it 😃
After doing T25, the breaks annoy me 😂 I’m sure once I start Max30, I’ll be like- Holy Crap when’s the break?

Need advice..
Have done T25 alpha and some weeks of beta before. Starting back into it now with 21 day fix (finished Day 13 this morning). Not sure where to go next.
Opinions? I have BOD.
Nothing too intense unless there is a modifier as I have knee issues (I can't do surrender's at all).0 -

If you want a main focus on strength training: 21 Day Extreme, 80 Days Obsession, Liift4. They all have modifiers. The pro with 21DE and 80DO is you'll know the trainer, Autum, and her style and moves. The pro with Liift4 is it's only 4 days a week and the durations are shorter. (I don't know if they might be too intense for you, the idea is to challenge yourself, but of course, take care of yourself and know your limits.)
If you want a main focus on cardio: Core De Force (fun, combat style), 22 Min Hard Corps (short and sweet bootcamp style), TurboFire (different durations hiit cardio style).
If you want a nice even mix, I think (I'm not 100% sure, haven't done it) P90X3 would be a good option... and the workouts are only 30 min long.
If you want low impact, maybe PiYo?1 -
"Body Beast: Lucky 7"=Done!...with sandbags!! I used the Brute Force Athlete and the smaller Beachbody one, sandbags are GAME CHANGERS!1

"Ultimate Reset: Yoga to Reclaim with Bee"=Done!1

I've been doing BB for years now. P90x, P90x3, Core De Force, 21 day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, and ShawnT stuff. Each program I've done at least twice, some more than twice.
I've been successful in each program. That's why I keep returning to BB (in addition to Tae Bo, swimming, and walking).
I am currently on week 2 on 21DFX. Like Autumn says, "I LOVE IT!"
Anyone would like a cheerleading buddy???

Huh, same here.
And in my case, I feel like I'm doing something wrong... it just feels unnatural. However, I've watched instructional videos and I'm pretty sure I'm following correct form --I mean, it's not that complex of a move.
I have the regular push-up down, but that tricep one... my elbows don't bend straight back like that = /1 -

have you tried turning your hands slightly out? instead of the up/down motion of regular push ups, try down & slightly forward. shoulders should go down and in front of your hands...that are slightly turned out. elbows will go back and hug ribs that way.1 -
any pressure or pain in front delts...do half reps until you can do full.1
