The warm up lasts approximately 10 minutes. Since I went a little longer than normal above, I’m going to be fairly brief on the workout overview. Insanity is being promoted as an extreme workout, and it’s extreme, and should be left for those that have completed at very least a beginner-to intermediate program, an advanced program is probably best. Now after doing the Max workouts, I have decided that NO, a person should not start with Insanity. I felt like a person may have to take more breaks, but felt like it was possible. With the right mindset, and will power, a person could push through Insanity, and make it work. The workouts are still crazy hard though.Īs a Beachbody fitness coach, I have been asked quite a bit lately whether or not a person could start with Insanity. Like you just accomplished something great feeling. Once I got past the first week of the Max workouts, the soreness has not left, but its that good sore feeling. So that brings me back to the amazing part. ? (If you have done some Max workouts, you know what I mean). My first week of Max workouts… I was sore, walking sore, moving sore, trying to sit down sore. You’ll be challenged mentally and physically. Now the first 4 weeks of Insanity seemed, not easy, but definitely EASIER than the Max workouts. Then the Max workouts start and continue for 4 more weeks. Then you take a recovery week, where you are not doing hard cardio, but still working out fairly hard. At least that’s what I thought during those 4 weeks. Now these 4 weeks are not easy by any means. You start Insanity, and work out for 4 weeks. Even though I was tired and sore, I knew that I could push through, and I did.
I pushed through the first week of the Max workouts. my first week of the Max workouts, I’ve been sore. Why so long between Insanity Reviews you may ask? Well…. The Max Interval Circuit review was my first Max workout. If you have been keeping up with my Insanity Reviews, you may have noticed that my last review was for the Max Interval Circuit on the 9th of September.
