The production more than compensates with a solid soundtrack that is just about perfect.ĭue to the there being only so many ways one can jump, the variety of motions can sometimes feel lacking in Insanity, where one workout can seem very similar to another. I can’t fault the program for this either, as in 2009 that is simply what was available. Within ten minutes your self-preservation instincts will kick in and I doubt you’ll even notice. To say you can go 60 solid days without sustaining injury or throwing in the towel is a rare accomplishment and I would caution anyone over 40 to know your limits and take a little extra rest where needed.įor those with high-def or 4K screens, the graininess of the standard definition might be a little off-putting but don’t worry. What makes Insanity timeless has less to do with production values and more with the sheer intensity of the whole program. A killer video to be sure, but if you’ve made it this far then it should be one of the easier Phase 2 workouts. Balance of the other hand is accomplished by one legged hops. CORE CARDIO & BALANCEĪ lot of the moves are recycled from previous workouts with core work mostly accomplished by means of planks. Lots of stretching like the regular Recovery workout, although this one has very obvious yoga undertones. Thankfully the cardio is low impact for the most part which is a welcome change from ‘balls-to-the-wall’ power-jumps. That means after the warm-up you’re going solid for roughly 40 minutes. Here you will get the occasional low-intensity motion but sorry, no breaks. MAX CARDIO CONDITIONINGīy now the battery on the heart rate monitor needs replacing I’m sure. The jumps are hard enough, but those Level 3 pushup-drills are going to make a man out of you assuming you get through them. Of all the workouts, I found this one the hardest.
It will help a lot because by now it might be difficult to know if you’re pushing it hard enough or if you’re just sore. If you don’t have a heart rate monitor yet, then by all means get one.
In my thirties I was able to walk it off but now in my mid-forties I sometimes need to take time to do strength work and return to the Insanity schedule when I’m recovered. My knees however have a different opinion. As far as guys go, I consider myself in pretty good shape. The non-stop barrage on the knees is going to have a varying degree of effect depending who you are. Be prepared to weep in a shot-glass of hooch as to just how old you have suddenly become.īy now you’re probably noticing joint pain and here is where I must offer some criticism. The idea is to see if you can accomplish certain plyometric feats without your spouse finding you dead of a coronary. So stretch it out for a couple minutes before trying to keep up with Shaun and a couple co-stars. FIT TESTįirst things first, we need to see if that manatee-lookalike figure can handle the cruel tutelage of Shaun T. So without further adieu, let’s roll back the clock and see how Insanity measures up. These days you can load it up on BODand stream it. The program is intended to be 60 days long. Oh, and you also get an extra large side-order of pain.
What you getīack in the good old days of ordering DVD’s, I got a calendar, food guide, and a nice DVD sleeve of disks. Given the place in history Insanity has, it was time to revisit it. Back in those days I was rather green and the site was trying to figure out what it was. While I did a review of this many, many years back, I really didn’t give a review on par with how I do it now.
