I've been using Insanity Asylum workouts for years now, and it has done wonders for my athleticism and endurance. I continue to incorporate the workouts along with my P90X and running workouts specifically for obstacle course racing and marathon training. It's definitely geared more towards advanced fitness levels, so take extreme caution before attempting a program such as the Insanity Asylum.

Insanity Asylum V2, X Trainer - World Cup Inspired Workout

It's the World Cup! And so while the best of the best in FUTBOL are killing it on the field, I felt like it would be fitting to do some athletic training at home while watching them battle it out! I decided to do Insanity Asylum X-Trainer which is part of the Volume 2 Elite Athlete Training Series.

I'm going to be honest, after watching a little bit of the World Cup recently, I think I may have to incorporate a game of soccer into my weekly workout routine, those guys are some amazing athletes! So without further ado, let's dig into my WOD:

As always, Shaun T has to kill us with a warm up that seems like it's just as beastly as the actual workout!

Warm up included:
- Agility X-Trainer Part 1
- Hop Kicks (jump rope)
- U Agility Hops
- Hop Kick Swing Jumps (jump rope)
- Agility T-180
- Plank Heisman Agility
- Hop Heisman Agility

Time for a little stretch, this is where I finally catch my breath and I am able to say a few words to Shaun T for telling me that it was just a warm up! =)

Then the workout begins! I'm just glad that I took my E&E yo! =) The main workout consisted of 5 rounds. I'm like, "man this is going to be fun!"

Fifth Round:
