I'm so excited to share with you the newest Shaun T fitness program and MY MONTH 1 RESULTS! Today I want to talk about MONTH 1 of the program and what to expect!
If you don't know who Shaun T is, he is the creator of Hip Hop Abs, Rockin Body, Insanity, Insanity the Asylum, T25 and now Insanity Max30. He has been creating amazing fitness programs that truly work and get you the results you are looking for! I started my journey with Insanity almost 3 years ago after my 2nd child but before my 3rd. I fell in LOVE with Shaun T and have been addicted ever since!
So, what is Insanity Max 30? It is a program that combines cardio and strength moves without using any equipment at all. There are 150 new moves to help you dig a little deeper and get your body in the very best shape of your life!!! No, there are no weights! I promise you won't need any!
The program is 60 days long and is broken down into month 1 and month 2. The workouts are all 30 minutes each with a 10 minute ab workout. The idea of this program is not to make it through the entire 30 minutes, but to "MAX OUT" and go as hard as you can until you have to take a break! It's important to understand that maxing out is not a bad thing. On of the ways you will track your daily progress is with your Max Out time! Each time you repeat an exercise you should do your best to increase your MAX OUT time.
Who is Insanity Max30 created for? It is for anyone that is a fitness beginner who wants to jump start their journey with an insane workout, (it does have a modifier the entire workout) a T25 graduate ready for a harder challenge, or an Insanity grad looking to take it to the next level! It can be for, but not limited to Spartan Racers, Adventure Races, marathon runners, any ATHLETE! But, don't get me wrong, it's not only about your physical fitness. It's also VERY MENTAL! Anyone can do insanity max 30, you just have to WANT IT! You have to be willing to PUSH IT each day and DIG DEEPER!! I'm not saying it's easy, but I am saying its worth it!
I just completed MONTH 1! The workouts in month 1 are a combination of cardio and tabata style strength workouts! If you have never heard of tabata style, it is 20 seconds of work on and 10 seconds of work off.
To Max Out means to stop or fail for the first time in the workout. When you start the workout you continue with each move and DO NOT take a break. If you have to stop and catch your breath, or take a break, THAT'S A MAX OUT! The whole idea is to go AS HARD as you can for AS LONG as you can, till you MAX OUT. Once you MAX OUT you write down the time, take a break, maybe grab some water and get right back into it!
MONTH 1 workouts:
Cardio Challenge: This workout serves as your FIT TEST and your introduction to the program. All cardio with 4 1/2 minute interval 30 second rest.
Tabata Power: Your strength training starts here with 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off" workout structure. It is plyometrics focused.

This program is 5 days with an optional Pulse workout for Saturday. Plus is an 20 minute active recovery workout, low impact, combo of stretching and small pulsing movements.
So what were my MONTH 1 RESULTS LIKE..........
I LOST 5 pounds AND 3.5 inches!!! I lost more inches in other areas but gained in some, adding a 1/4 inch to each arm of muscle! Each week I felt stronger and faster! I could feel my body changing! I'm super excited about my results and cannot wait for MONTH 2!
