Insanity week 1 Review

This is a few days late I was planning on posting on Sunday but here is my week one review of Beachbody’s Insanity workout.

I’ve done P90X several times since 2008 and thought I was going to be able to breeze right through Insanity no problems. I felt my conditioning was spot on and there wasn’t anything I couldn’t do or a workout I couldn’t keep up with. Enter Shaun T. Insanity has kicked my ass every workout except the Cardio Recovery has left me in a pool of my own DNA sucking in gulps of air like its going out of style. I’m serious when I say this has been the hardest workout I’ve ever done, and I’m only a week into it. I have been told that the second month is even worse so being the glutton for punishment that I am I’m looking forward to month two with anticipation I love working hard and feeling the rush of feel good hormones flooding my brain after a intense workout.

One of the only issues I see with Insanity so far is I wish there were a few more back exercises I know it’s hard to work the back with strictly bodyweight workout. I’d like to see some sort of burpee pull up or something for some back work.

Going into week two I have noticed that I’m not taking as many breaks as I was in week one. The other thing I’ve noticed is I am SLOW my feet don’t move as fast as I’d like them to move I’m pushing as hard as I can and I feel like I’m in one of those dreams where you are trying to run and you can’t. Hopefully this workout will help me move faster and more agile keeping this old man light on his feet for years to come.
