Insanity Released. I’m Not Ready – Are You?
It’s really awesome that Beachbody has so many workout programs, each designed with particular fitness goals and fitness levels in mind. I wrote about this in an early article when I told you that after doing Tony Horton’s P90X Extreme Training System for 90 days that I started Debbie Sieber’s Slim in 6 program and fully expected to blow it away. Although I gained strenth and built muscle mass during P90X, I wasn’t quite ready for the continuous cardio training of my current program. My fitness goals changed, so I changed up my workouts to reach those goals.
Well, Shaun T’s much awaited high intensity max interval cardio program called Insanity was finally released by Beachbody. I’m not quite ready to take on the challenge of this cardio explosion. While Chalene Extreme and P90X use weights and resistance bands to build muscle, boost metabolism and burn fat, Insanity melts fat with long bursts of cardio and little rest. No equipment is needed other than a towel, a water bottle, and an attitude! I’m pumped up about the program, but I have to follow my own advice and wait until that program supports my current fitness goals.
I’m not sure what’s next for me. I might continue to work on my butt, hips, and thighs with Yoga Booty Ballet or Turbo Jam. For now, I just want lose 15 pounds with Slim in 6. Debbie Siebers is a fun trainer. I’d say this program is for anyone with a moderate activity level. Beginners can work through the Slim in 6 program but will probably stay in Phase I and Phase II for a longer period of time. That’s ok. You’ve got to listen to your body and work at your own effective intensity to get the fitness results you desire.
