Like any Shaun T style workout, plyo and muscle engagement is a key cardio component, making it all the more difficult. Indeed, I had to take the pants off for this one, because it was balls to the wall. Something is very wrong in this universe when a workout makes Insanity look like a day off. If your fuel is wrong, you just won’t get the results you are looking for. These give the more creative chef and the completely clueless cook some great ideas to spice up their dinner ideas without spending hours combing recipe websites.Īll in all, an easy to use and simple book to provide, what I see as, the most important part of your workout. I especially like the seasoning mixes, salad dressings and the do it yourself section that has omelet, salad and dinner ideas. The recipes are simple and organized by Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snack.
As usual, Shaun T’s recipe guide is in full colour and well laid out. Then it moves into your food directory giving lists of acceptable foods and the amounts that would be a serving.
It provides t wo portion options – Plan A or plan B – depending on your weight.
The provided food guide is colourful and well laid out. For the record, X-Jump abs are the worst. With this, your muscles will fail before your cardio does, especially the pushups where you’ll start on your feet but end on your knees. During this program I was hitting the my max heart-rate almost constantly, so let that be a tip and warning if you need to watch that sort of thing.Įxplosive plyometics, not fast. Very few things in life that don’t involve mortal danger will get you spiking like this program. Let me pause to mention one thing: heart-rate monitors. The format is 3 moves for 30 seconds each, then a break to gather up your pieces. The bad news is that you might spend that time throwing up. Well, the good news is that you get 30 second breaks. And it just might be given what lies ahead. But gosh darn it, I’m going to sacrifice my body to give you a decent non-coach review if it’s the last thing I do.
Rather hard to believe that Month One was designed to break us in considering how it borders on impossible levels of difficulty. Month Two of Insanity: Max 30 is upon us.
