Insanity, The Asylum: DONE!
June 6, 2011 Leave a comment
Put it in the books, my friends. Insanity Asylum is over and completed.
I’ve sent it home with my Uncle who’s in the last phase of P90X down in Indianapolis. He will bump up his cardio big time with this workout!
So, let me give you the pros and the cons to this workout.
Cons:
1. It’s just not fun to me! I like to workout, but I like to have fun when possible.
2. It’s not for the average person looking to exercise. If you are just starting out, don’t even think about it.
3. There isn’t a lot of demonstrating and guidance. I guessed on what dumbbells to use in the strength workout. (I used 10 lbs.)
4. Not much modification. There is a person who does each workout with a jump rope when one is needed, but not really any modifications for knee or joint problems.
Pros:
1. Short and intense. As a stay at home mom working my business and watching our neighbor’s children, I’m in need of a workout I can do at home and within a 45 minute period. The only workout that was longer was “Game Day” which only happened 3 times in the month.
2. Pushed me beyond my limits. I was comfortable with the workouts I was doing and really needed a challenge. This was it baby!
3. It’s only 30 days! Anyone can do something for 30 days! Just push play and get it done.
4. Team Sports. I really liked that he incorporated swimming, baseball, basketball, tennis, track, wrestling, distance running, football, and soccer (maybe even more?) into these workouts. I felt like I was on my college softball team again!
Do I recommend this workout for you?
Depends…if you are an elite athlete or you have trained with intense workouts and don’t have joint issues…then YES! Go for the push and do this! Such a feeling of accomplishment seeing myself improve on the Fit Test on day 30!
If you are looking for a fun workout or something a little less intense, I’d be happy to suggest some other options that I have found fun!
Next up….another round of Chalean Extreme, but this time in a hybrid with TurboFire. I’m excited to combine them!
