Insanity Month 1 Review


I’ve been trying to come up with a post for this week. It’s been hard to get my thoughts in order though. So I’m going to tell you my experiences during my first month of Insanity.
I started my Insanity journey rather cocky. I’ve done several rounds of P90X as well as being relativity active outside of my workouts many days I’d do double workouts just because I had time to do an extra workout.
Day 1 of Insanity in the fit test which I thought I’d be able to handle quite well after all I’ve been working out 5-6 days a week for over 4 years. While I think my numbers were pretty good I thought they’d be better than where I landed.
Switch Kicks: 50
Power Jacks: 45
Power Knees: 81
Power Jumps: 30
Globe Jumps: 8
Suicide Jumps: 17
Push-up Jacks: 26
Low Plank Oblique: 30
This workout is no joke when it comes to conditioning it is by far the best workout I’ve done. Every day I was in a flop-sweat half way through the program by the end I was standing in a lake of my own DNA. The workout times are perfect just when I was thinking “Why the hell am I doing this? I can’t do anymore.” The workout would be over and it would be time to cool down. . One word of caution however make sure you have good shoes and are not slipping in your own sweat you could seriously blow a knee. For me I’ve done all but 2 workouts in my vibrim Five fingers The only problems I’ve had is some swelling in my left knee and my ankle from slipping in a puddle of sweat. A second warning do not do this work out on carpet! The amount of sweat produced will have your house smelling funky in no time at all. If you have no choice but to work out on carpet get a good mat to put down so you won’t upset your significant other because the place smells like a locker room.
Beachbody has done an incredible job putting together the best At-Home workouts on the market.
