When the “actual workout” begins the clock is on 23 minutes. Stretching which is usually very difficult for me (especially when it comes to the legs) is not so excruciation because your muscles are already warmed up, allowing you to go deeper in the stretch. I’m glad Shaun T doesn’t use the yoga names for the stretches that has become a bit of a turn off for me, so instead of warrior you do hip-flexors which fits this workout much better. You will be so grateful for this break, a chance for your heart rate to come back down and get your breathing back to normal. You start to wonder if your muscles are going to turn to Jell-O, not being able to support you, but then comes a very welcome break! Heisman’s kill me and by the time it came to the third round high knees my legs just didn’t want to lift.
The movements I know I really push it anything I’m not so familiar with I slow it down a bit so that I can master the form first. You’ll be familiar with the warm-up from the fit test, but this time you’re doing three rounds increasing the speed each time. If you maintain adequate hydration through out the day taking sips during the breaks will get you through. Drink water in moderation during the workout because all the jumping stirs things up a bit. Add in some WordPress, and sophomore English Teacher, Just keep writing, and TA-DA, you have a healthier body and a crappy blog because you suck at writing.WARNING: Do not eat before doing this workout, you’ll get nauseous and you could very well throw up. Keep Pushing Play, Dig Deeper, all the fun stuff. Oh crap we are done, the cool down seems rushed, so I try a few and fall onto a chair and start typing. Uppercuts Just start wobbling and tossing some punches, if you can maintain good form then do so.Īttacks Try singing “Kung Fu Fighting” at this point and have some fun you are almost done, and I am wasted. Jabs No jab cross hook uppercut, JUST Jabs.Ĭross Jacks uncoordinated me just keeps trying. Now if you can, Shaun starts quickly into some standing up stuff. Round #3 quite sure I’m dead at this point and dripping sweat. Round #2 same stuff, I was obviously slower than I was in round 1 Small break, why do I even try, they are all small breaks. In-and-Outs Like ski drill, but simply jump legs in and push legs out (back to plank) Keep going till Shaun says stop. Keep doing this, Shaun and friends do this five times. Ski Drills Plank, jump knees to right, back to center, and then out to left, back to center. I think there were five rounds of the level 1 drill but I was so tired, I couldn’t keep track Level I Drills Four pushups, Four plankish type mountain climbers, stand up and put arms in air. I needed to by this point.īasketball moves. SPRINT> yes run like crazy, pump those arms move those feet.īreak. Your a lineman, hand on floor ready to charge. Move right, then move left, then back, and SET. Turn right, turn front, turn left, turn front. IF you have done any of the insanity workouts, you understand this one and probably feel comfortable. The second set of exercises goes quickly. Ski Down Imagine yourself hurtling down a mountain, feet and knees together swishing sideways with little jumps, and something about using your abductor muscles.ĭO IT AGAIN, and keep in mind there is a third round here.ĪND Do it one more time. Mountain Climbers This is my favorite exercise, reach high knee, arm up high knee. Power Squats normal squat, jump at the end. Suicide Drills Run touch floor run back touch floor. I went ludacris speed for the third round and now find my heart rate plummeting. Today’s stretches seemed like they took forever. This turns out to be the pretty standard warm up Shaun T uses for insanity. Jog, Jumping Jacks, Heisman’s, 123 Heisman’s, Butt Kicks, High Knees and Mummy Kicks. You will feel tired, but the stretching is next so I used this as a chance to push myself. You will be sweating by the end of the warm up rounds. The first time I did this workout, I had no idea what I was getting into. Keeping in mind I have done this workout many times. Rant over let us get on with the workout. I did not eat out today, I am following my goal of not eating fast food.
