Starting Insanity Max 30 December 15th
Replies

Sweat Intervals today I think, if I want a short workout a bit later, I like doing the warm up in Insanity (like Pure Cardio) It's about 80 calories I think and short enough to get me going but not tire. I always skipped the stretch in Insanity and would do the warmup twice sometimes, I think it's a good "mini" as a review I read said.
I had a huge lunch at work yesterday, potluck, delicious Greek food, Italian, mac and cheese, award winning cupcakes, (and some veggies/fruit) So far no weight changes, kept portions small,just dropped a few ounces, I am hoping a few cheat days with Shaun will even out if I'm careful.0 -

Good for you! Love the idea of Insanity warm up..I did that on t25. I do feel like with Max 30 I need more of a cool down...my knees still hurt!
I feel like a fatty today because I ate lots of sweets while cooking them... Lol! Today I did the Sweat Intervals, and Body pump. However, I am sure I ate too much! I plan to completely change my diet in the New Year...though admittedly, I am in decent shape...just gained a few lbs that I want to shed...and all the sugar and food is not helping me right now!
I will be running tomorrow...yoga on Friday, and then my next max 30 on Saturday before our ski trip!
I keep having to "dig deeper" in this...what is his motto on Max 30?? Same?0 -
Oh for crying out loud!!! Video coming tomorrow for Day 3 Left the video on the other computer (no video for 4, it's Christmas I don't want to do the work).
Don't remember my max out for Sweat Intervals, but I was determined to hit 10:00 on the 2nd round of Tabata Power today.....9:41 -- 19 effing seconds! I tried to push through everything I had to get myself up to finish the push-ups, but my face hit the mat about half way up.....ugh!!0 -
Did Cardio Challenge today for week 2, I maxed out at 7:40. nearly a minute longer than I did the last time
So proud!~ 0 -
Good for you, you should be proud!! I did a mixed bag this morning , little Insanity, little T25, burned off one dessert. : )
Hope everyone had a great day...got an Orb fit bug from someone...have to try it out this week.0 -

I threw in T25 Speed 2.0 yesterday. Needed the cardio after the big Xmas lunch. Back on schedule today will double up Friday Fight and Tabata.0
-
Jesus that sounds like a good way to torture yourself lol. Good luck doubling those up!!0

I'm sure I will struggle with the second vid. Luckily with this program Sat and Sun are off days. Although I end up using Sat as an upper body arms/weights day. Sunday I do the pulse during halftime of the football game.

Did Tabata Power today, on week 2, day 2. added on 31 seconds to my time from the first week I did it for the first time (which was 10:10), I maxed out at 10:41 today. But its less than my 19 minutes I managed the 2nd session of tabata power in week 1. Nonetheless, I keep improving Very proud, Plyo pushups/ push up rows around that section killed me this time. 0
-
MAX at 7:09 in Friday Fight.....was so busy today that I almost didn't do it. I pushed play and did it though....just very late....looking forward to Pulse or rest, not sure which I'm doing tomorrow (well, later today I guess). Friday Fight just kicks my *kitten*, those Switch Kick punches destroy me...every damn time. Those are worse than Burpee Lunges to me0
-
It's funny what we hate, I like standing up moves, punching, kicking, but the planks bother my wrist/shoulders sometimes. I still will do standing mountain climbers sometimes.
I'm going to do max cardio today and see how it goes. I was soooo tired yesterday after the carb load the day before. I didn't use HRM, just muddled through tabata.
I want to try the ab attack first next time, after the workout, I'm sure it's much harder. I love the Pilates moves doing them for years, but he does them faster and it's harder, especially the "drum roll" at the end...kills me every time. ; )0 -
Made it to 11:40 on Sweat Intervals today. I almost maxed out on the segment before on the push-up punches but I dug frickin' deep man.
Squat punches kill me. That whole segment from 10:30 - 15:00 is murder. My main goal is to break through and nail that segment but wow... that's going to take some deep mental preparation. I honestly don't know if I ever could.0 -
I'm definitely interested in trying this, but I don't want to have to buy a DVD player or work from my laptop. Is there a download code or something to put them on iTunes? Being picky, I know ...0

I've done t25 and 21dayfix. I found it easier to have a accountability group. I have friends on Facebook that keep each other motivated. ekg0328 you can get a few friends to help with the cost and do it together.
If anyone wants to friend me on Facebook we can keep each other on task this next year!0 -
I plan on starting tomorrow. To say I'm nervous is an understatement. I've done Insanity and Asylum v.1 in the past, still get the same pre workout nerves.
I've lingered on the forums a while, had an old account I used last year but started a fresh this time.0 -
I'm going to take a Shaun break today and to Amy Dixon's HIIT it Big. It's a bit longer and a change in tabata moves. Then a workout with weights tonight and back to Max tomorrow. I'll do some of the Max strength workouts but don't like mostly pushups and looking ahead (MaxOut Strength) it mostly variations of them.
Hope everyone has a great day...keep pushing. ; )0 -

It is all about improving! I ran and did Body Pump these last few days...now on to the next Max 30 workout....whatever is after sweat intervals....I forget:)....I hope I survive! Lol. My legs are sore from running and pump.0 -
Just ordered this a few minutes ago direct from BB. Can't wait to get started!!0
-
I got for Christmas this year. I am starting tomorrow.0

Did Sweat Intervals today, maxed out at 12:18, last week was 12:14. 4 secs more LOL Burned 488 cal, so thats always awesome. I felt I worked harder today even after I maxed out, the switch kick and punches I did not stop on those, I continued them straight through!0
-
Did Tabata strength...maxed out at 23 minutes. Followed it with LesMills Combat kick start. Yikes...I overdid it In my opinion, but I ordered both Les Mills Combat and Les Mills Pump because they were 40% off on BB...so I want to try it all...lol!!
Going to yoga tomorrow....and then family is off skiing for the next few days with kids!0 -

If you've done Insanity and Asylum you will be fine. Only difference is the warm ups are condensed and the stretching periods have been omitted to fit it into 30 mins. Also the water breaks are shorter. Alot of new moves but all on the same level of Insanity. Nothing to be nervous about. My best advice... stretch the hell out of your calfs before you start. The warmup is all jumping and my calfs are like rocks when it's done.

Made it 13 minutes tonight before the Max Out. The second or third round of those in out abs got me. I was trying so hard to get through that circuit but my arms just gave out

Just finished Cardio Challenge Day 1 Week 2 and improved by 31 seconds to 7:47....here are my thoughts on the program through week one as well as my times and results:

Tabata Power done for the day....guess what??? 10:10 baby!!!! I screamed all the way through those last bits of Plyo Pushups but FINALLY hit my goal for this!! Now it's time to hit 10 minutes on the cardio ones!
On a side note I watched my buddy's wife go through Cardio Challenge like it was nothing....but then again, that girl is an elite endurance athlete...my buddy maxed at 10:140 -
A few years back my husband and I completed Insanity (which had been my favorite so far). He ordered Max 30 for me for Christmas and we both started Monday. I have a new favorite program!! This is awesome. I am blown away at the calorie burn for such a short amount of time compared to Insaniy!! Also, I can't believe how sore I am just after two days. lol I'll take it! 0

Swapped out Sweat Intervals with the Sweat Fest bonus vid. Very good video. Has the old school Insanity format with the warmup then stretching in the beginning. Then the circuits. Burned 387 cals in the 30 minutes.0
