These exercises are not for beginners ! Even a confirmed sportsman won’t find the sessions easy. If you have never practiced an intense activity in your life, you might want to reconsider. I really advise you to do it, especially if this is your first time doing Insanity, it’s really impressive to see your progress ! It is still difficult, but comparing to the other days, it looks like you’re naping.Įvery two weeks, you can do a “Fit Test” of 20 minutes that shows you how your performance improves. No cardio, only stretching and strength training. In the middle of the week, the session is calmer : this is the “Cardio Recovery”. Then, we can start the serious part : around 20 minutes of “max interval training”, which means long and intense periods of activity followed by short periods of rest (usually, 3 minutes of intense activity followed by 30 seconds of rest). We start with a 10 minutes warm up (don’t trust the word “warm up”, it’s kind of intense) followed by a long session of stretching (don’t skip it ! it’s important).
The sessions are diversified, so we don’t get bored. ► What does a typical session look like ? This program combines cardio – mainly – and strength training. The second month, the sessions can last up to one hour, still 6 days/7. During the first month, the sessions last about 40 minutes 6 days/7, followed by a “soft” week to recover.
The training covers a period of two months (60 days).
I warn you, this is really difficult and the rythm is intense. Insanity, created by the inspirational Shaun T., is the largest-selling workout program in the US… probably because it is the most efficient. To be clear, even if I have tried these three workout programs myself, I am not a health care professionnal nor a personal trainer.Īll the information you can find in this post only comes from my own feelings and my personal experience. and are really popular in the United States, and the Bikini Body Guide by Kayla Itsines, which is quite popular at the moment. You might have heard of them : Insanity and T25 were created by the trainer Shaun T. Today, I still like to vary my activities, and I’ve had the chance to try three different workout programs, that you can do at home. I don’t count the number of activities I did when I was a child : from gymnastics to horse riding, basket-ball, badminton or roller, I’ve tried a lot of things. In my workouts like in my everyday life, I quickly get bored and I always need to renew things.
