Insanity Cardio Abs Workout

Watch Video Below

I recently decided to do a second round of the Insanity Challenge, something that I haven't done in a couple years. With Beachbody coming out with workouts that you can do in 25 to 30 minutes, I started to get used to the short workouts, and I wanted to challenge myself to see if I can still hang with Shaun T for more than 30 minutes. And I just have to say that he is royally kicking my ass LOL.


Don't get me wrong, I can go to the gym and workout for a couple hours, but to do Insanity for two hours, "forget about it" =). I am currently on week 4 of month 1, and staying strong. I definitely feel the burn, but I also am feeling like I haven't in awhile, I just missed doing Insanity.

I used Beachbody Energize Pre-Workout on the days I need that extra push

Here is a quick video of my Insanity Cardio Abs Workout which I did right after Pure Cardio, oh yeah, I was beat to a pulp lol. This was Day 1, Week 4 of my Insanity Challenge.

It doesn't matter how many times you do INSANITY, at home or a LIVE Insanity Class at the gym, it just never gets easier! The cool thing about the Insanity Workout Program is that it is for everyone, although if you are at a beginner fitness level, I highly recommend that you either try to find a program that is less intense and low impact, or just modify the workouts and simply listen to your body, because Insanity can get pretty crazy!

Insanity Max Interval Sports Training

Ok, this SHI-take was bananas YO! Today I did Insanity Max Interval Sports Training at Pensacola Fit Club, and let me just tell you, the ENERGY was absolutely amazing!! 

This workout in particular is not included in the standard Insanity Workout program, it is an additional set of workouts which include: Max Interval Sports Training (not to sound redundant), and Insane Abs. It's basically for people who have acquired the elite level of fitness, and would like to incorporate it into their second month of the program, or to just add into their existing hybrid workouts. The exercises can also be modified to suit all fitness levels.

I'm not gonna lie, I got beat down! But who doesn't when they are doing Insanity. If anyone says that Insanity is easy, then they aren't pushing themselves hard enough, because this is the real deal! Are you ready?? Let's get on with the workout!

The WARM UP consisted of Jump Ropes (without a rope), Switch Heels, Switch Heels Higher, Jump Rope Side/Side, and some Cross Jacks.

Cross Jacks - I know, it looks like I'm Salsa Dancing, but trust me, I don't have that much rhythm =)
Insanity Cross Jacks

10 second break before the knee pulls. Thanks Shaun T, I appreciate the 10 seconds =)

Knee Pulls (high, medium, low) I wish I can say AMAZE-BALLS, but I'm not going to!
I pretended that I was a Rock Star, but in all reality, my legs were toast!

After the warm up, we get a quick water break, and go right into the first Sports Number:
BOXING
- Single Jab Cross
- Jab Cross 2/2
- Jab Cross 4/4
- Jab Cross 8/8
- Single Uppercut
- Uppercut 2/2
- Uppercut 4/4
- Uppercut 8/8
- 8 Jabs/8 Power Jumps

Jab Cross - Watch out Pacquiao, "just sayin" LOL

- Football Drills (Fast feet to low plank, move side to side - 8 count)
- Tricep Pulses
- Tackle (kinda like a hop squat moving sideways 4 times, then back the other way, and pretending that you are hugging a tree - now I know you're confused)
- Offensive Line Elbow (similar to above, but now you're hitting your elbow up to your hand, then moving side to side)

This is my "I thought this was T25" look! =) #NeverGiveUp

Water Break

Sports Number Three:
BASKETBALL
- 3 Point Shot/Run  (I got this)
- Guard Drills  (I can feel my legs)
- Suicide Drills  (I'm losing my legs)
- Basketball Dribble  (I can't feel my legs)

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

Insanity Asylum Volume 2

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!"

Hop Squat Agility

First Round:
- Agility X-Trainer Part 1

- Hop Heisman Ladder Agility
- In and Out Ab Agility

During the fourth round, I'm like wishing I was doing Focus T25 lol! =) All I can think of now is, I just want to survive, then I suck it up and get my skin back in the game!

Fourth Round:
- Agility X-Trainer Part 3
- Single Arm Assisted Push Up (left) "ok, these really suck!" =)
- Mountain Climber Abs
- Single Arm Assisted Push Up (right)
- Squat Jump Single Leg Press

Finally, I'm in the last round, the crowd goes wild, and then I realize that I'm the only one in the room! Let me tell you something, it's all about doing your best "being your best", even when no one is watching you, remember that people!!

Fifth Round:
- Agility X-Trainer Part 4
- Agility Ladder Jumps

Insanity Asylum (V1+V2) are my favorite workouts! They kick my butt every single time. It will never get easy because you will always get better! So that was my World Cup INSPIRED workout, I'll see you guys soon!
