I have started a new workout program, Beachbody's Insanity. It is created by Shawn T. and looks to be based mainly in cardio and plyometrics, but I think it might also have bodyweight weight training as well. Most of the infomercials showed the people running and jumping in place. The program states that it is a 60-day program, but it will actually take place over 9 weeks, or 63 days. One of the things that I have done is place the schedule on my calendar and with my previously scheduled events it should take me 66 days to get through. The following is the schedule:
Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday | |
Phase 1 | Fit Test | Plyometric Cardio Circuit | Cardio Power & Resistance | Cardio Recovery | Pure Cardio | Plyometric Cardio Circuit | Off |
Cardio Power & Resistance | Pure Cardio | Plyometric Cardio Circuit | Cardio Recovery | Cardio Power & Resistance | Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs | Off | |
Fit Test | Plyometric Cardio Circuit | Pure Cardio | Cardio Recovery | Cardio Power & Resistance | Plyometric Cardio Circuit | Off | |
Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs | Cardio Power & Resistance | Plyometric Cardio Circuit | Cardio Recovery | Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs | Plyometric Cardio Circuit | Off | |
Core Cardio & Balance | Core Cardio & Balance | Core Cardio & Balance | Core Cardio & Balance | Core Cardio & Balance | Core Cardio & Balance | Off | |
Phase 2 | Fit Test & Max Interval Circuit | Max Interval Plyo | Max Cardio Conditioning | Max Recovery | Max Interval Circuit | Max Interval Plyo | Off |
Max Cardio Conditioning | Max Interval Circuit | Max Interval Plyo | Max Recovery | Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs | Core Cardio & Balance | Off | |
Fit Test & Max Interval Circuit | Max Interval Plyo | Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs | Max Recovery | Max Interval Circuit | Core Cardio & Balance | Off | |
Max Interval Plyo | Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs | Max Interval Circuit | Core Cardio & Balance | Max Interval Plyo | Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs | Fit Test |
Of course you can start the program on any day that fits your needs. I, for example, started on a Tuesday as I play softball on Mondays, and that makes for a great day to have an "Off Day."
Some of the things that I hope to accomplish after putting myself through this pain is not just better cardio conditioning but hopefully a little bit more mass and definition as well. At the beginning of the year I started Tony Horton's P90X and got through two of the three months and was greatly enjoying that, however oral surgery and pure laziness afterwards knocked me off my training. After Insanity I will probably go back to that and try to actually finish that before trying Insanity: The Asylam and P90X2.
