Insanity Max 30 is Shaun T’s all new 60 day program. The idea behind Max 30 is to go all out for 30 minutes a day, without equipment, and until you have to Max Out. Once you Max Out, you record your time, recover, and finish. Each day you’ll push yourself to be your previous Max Out time!

Insanity Max 30 includes a low impact modifier for every move so that anyone can take on the challenge of maxing out at any skill level. Since Insanity Max 30 is only 30 minutes a day, this program will be great for people with time constraints and super tight schedules.

How is INSANITY MAX 30 different than Insanity or T25?

INSANITY MAX 30 is going to be composed of 30 minute workouts, but it’s PUMPED UP from T25.

It’s going to be the toughest 150 new cardio and strength moves from Shaun T to get you ripped and toned in 60 days. It will be broken down into 2 30-day phases. I picture the hardcore Insanity workouts but with the focus and modifications offered in T25.  You’ll get killer cardio and tabata strength workouts that will make you push harder and dig deeper, to get the best body of your life in just 30 minutes a day.

Will I need Equipment for INSANITY MAX 30?

Nope! You will be using your own body weight just like we did in Insanity. There will be drop sets and all kinds of ways to feel the “burn” all over!

Shaun T‘s brand new home workout fitness program, FOCUS T25, has now been officially released at this years Coach Summit in Las Vegas.  I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy and will be posting a review in the coming weeks.  FOCUS T25 is a 25 day workout program, where all of the workouts are only 25 mins, 5 days per week.  There are two 5 week phases called ALPHA and BETA.  These phases build upon each other allowing you to FOCUS on specific things during each phase.  There is also an additional phase called GAMMA that focuses on muscle building resistance routines.

I had  a chance to try one of the workouts live and it was a short, intense and focused routine that allows for total body conditioning and fat loss.  The main idea of T25 is that you are getting a 25 min workout 5 days per week.  The shorter workouts allow for you to push yourself to your MAX, allowing you to get the most out of your time.

In the BETA phase  you focus on your core, which will get you those Shaun T abs you are looking for.  The GAMMA phase is for those wanting more muscle building resistance routines and is considered the advanced phase.

He’s pulled out the rest to give you everything you need, nothing you don’t. The result is FOCUS T25 and the name implies the intent: If you focus your intensity for 25 minutes, and you do it 5 days a week, you WILL get results.

If you read my other posts you will probably know that I believe that “abs are made in the kitchen”…meaning you can do ab routines all day long but you need to get your body fat % down low enough so they show. That being said, you still need to make sure you are working your abs at least 2-4x per week. I usually do 3x and each workout is usually only 10-20 mins, depending on my mood. If you work your abs everyday you can actually hurt your results if you don’t do it correctly. Most people with ripped abs do 3-4x per week and get great results so that’s a pretty good rule of thumb.

Switching up your ab routine can be as simple as using a different workout from a different fitness program. Most of my favorite come from Tony Horton’s One on Ones and other Tony Horton programs but there are a bunch in the team beachbody catalog to choose from. Here are some of my favorites that you can use instead of ARX, ab ripper X, to keep things new and fresh so you can improve your core strength and continue to get great results.

1. Killer Abs (18 min). This is from volume one of Tony’s One on One series. Killer abs takes moves from AB Ripper from P90 and Ab Ripper X from P90X and combines them into a great, quick ab routine. I like this one a lot.

2. Ten Minute Trainer ABS (10 Min). Think you can’t get a great ab workout in 10 mins? Think again. This is one of the toughest 10 min workouts you will ever do. It combines a lot of ab exercises together so you can get the most out of your tim.

3. Abs Core Plus (18 mins). This one is from P90X+ and it has grown on me a lot. I like it because it combines ab moves on the floor, standing, weights, and with the pull up bar. It is fast paced and tough. It works your full core.

4. ARX MC2 (45 min). If your looking for a good, long ab routine, then ARX: MC2 from Volume 3 of the P90X: One on One series is great. It gives you a sneak peak at P90X2: ARX2. Great workout.

5. Insane ABS (30 min). Insane Abs is from the deluxe upgrade workouts from Insanity. It’s great because it’s totally different than other stuff you have done.

6. 20/12 Abs (10 min). This is from the 10 min crusher pack workout from Volume 2 of the One on Ones. Again it’s great becausse its only 10 mins but it combines 20 reps from ab exercises on the floor with 12 reps exercises from the pull up bar. An ab killer.

7. Ab Destroyer (20 min). This is my new ab routine that I made up myself, combining some of my favorite moves I have learned over the last couple of years. This is available to only the people I coach (join my team), that have purchased something through me or my site. I am in the process of making a youtube instructional video all about it. Stay tuned.

8. Back to Core (40 min). This is a completely different core routine from Insanity Asylum that I really like. It’s great because it works the lower back and helps with one of my weaknesses. Totally different type of core routine.

The great part about all of these routines if that they are all unique and hit your abs in slightly different ways. This helps with keeping your results coming with your core strength and your fitness in general. If your are sick of the same ab routine then try switching it up with any of these. I promise you won’t be disappointed. P90X2 combines a ton of core exercises so I am also excited to add that to the list soon.

Have you tried any of these? Do you have a favorite Ab routine I should add to the list?

Kathryn’s Insanity Results in her own words:

Over the past two months, I’ve experienced the best fitness journey and transformation my body has ever gone through in my entire life. So many people have asked me about Insanity and my results that I’ve decided (probably in poor judgement) to post Scott (my husband) and I’s journey.  Hopefully as an inspiration to others.

Background:
Scott and I started Insanity on July 14, 2011. I had just stopped nursing our 8 month old and was ready to get my pre-pregnancy body back. Scott had been running consistently for about a year (completing a 5k and half-marathon), but wanted to get in even better shape before training for a marathon. So, we saw an infomercial on Insanity (a 60-day Extreme workout program), learned that my friend had a copy and we decided to try it.

The Program: Insanity

Month 1:

The first day of the program, you complete a Fit Test, which is basically an assessment of your fitness level. It takes about 20 minutes, including warm up and cool down. Let’s just say, the first Fit Test was a workout in and of itself. We were nervous about the first “real” workout the next day. We’d heard “If you think the Fit Test is hard…wait until you get to the actual workouts.” The next day, we did the first Plyometric Cardio Circuit and by the end, we were laying on the floor, covered in sweat and exhausted. The next day, we woke up so sore we could barely walk. But, we go through the day and “Pushed Play” for workout #2 Cardio Power & Resistence. As we struggled through the warm up, we realized that we were actually starting to feel better, and by the end, we felt great! So, we kept it up. We worked out 35-45 minutes a day, 6 days a week. The workouts actually reminded us of old sports drills we’d done in high school. (me – Volleyball and Basketball; Scott – Football)

At the end of the second week, we took the Fit Test again. It wasn’t as difficult for us and we weren’t really tired at the end, but we did see an immediate jump in the results and a decrease in our measurements. That was motivation enough to keep going! By the end of month 1, I was getting pretty used to the workouts and was ready to do some new routines (but was also scared of the month 2 “MAX” workouts!). We did the Fit Test again, and again saw measurable results in the progress we’d made and could visually tell the change in our bodies. After month 1, you do a “Recovery” workout for the week to help your muscles recover from the pounding you’ve put them through for 4 weeks, but make no mistake, it’s still a workout!

Month 2:

The first day of month 2 was like Day 1 of the program all over. We were drenched and exhaused after the first 60 minutes Cardio Conditioning workout (that we did AFTER we did the Fit Test). We each burned about 1,600 calories that day. But, we kept pushing play and kept getting stronger. And, before we knew it, month 2 was over. We’d finished the program! That is a GREAT feeling!

In addition to the Insanity exercise, we also counted our calories and drank protein shakes to help repair the muscles we were tearing/building. We used the iPhone app from MyFitnessPal.com to monitor what we were eating and how much. We didn’t allow ourselves any “cheat” days or meals, but, especially as we got into month 2, we were burning so many calories, it didn’t matter. And we actually found that we were having a hard time eating ENOUGH calories, especially me.

Observations:
Throughout the program, I was constantly amazed. I was in awe of Scott’s physical transformation in his strength and endurance, and was shocked at my own body’s transformation. For example, I went from not even being able to do one push up to being able to do 30 push up jacks.

One thing I struggled with (and still do, really) was that it’s not how much you weigh that’s important, but your fitness level and measurements. Going into the program, my main goal was to lose weight. After my second baby, I’d lost 65 lbs over the course of a year and after having my third child, I was ready to get that pre-pregnancy weight back. However, I’ve learned that though I haven’t lost a “ton” of weight with this program, my fitness level is so much greater (muscle built) and my measurements were dramatically decreased. You can see them below, but I lost 8 inches in my waist alone. The difference this makes is in how my body looks as its losing the weight. Though I lost weight before, my skin was not elastic and did not shrink as I lost the weight. I had even considered getting plastic surgery to remove the extra skin. Now, I don’t have to consider surgery. With Insanity, as I’m losing the weight and building muscle, my body is reacting in a completely different way. You can see from my pictures below. My body is firming up on its own. I never saw results like this with any other form of weight loss program.

Results:
The results really do speak for themselves. I was nervous about posting mine on here (I think Scott’s are great), but I remember how inspiring others’ photos were for me when I was going through the program that I decided to just suck it up and post them. Proceed with Caution! Not for the faint of heart….

BTW: Our scale was broken, so we didn’t get accurate before and after weights, which is why weight is not included on here.

Fit Test Results:

Measurements:

Me:
Waist: -8″
Hips: -3.5″
Chest: -3.25″
Total Inches lost: 14.75

Scott:
Waist: -5″
Hips: -4″
Chest: -2″
Total Inches lost: 11

What’s Next?
Scott has already started training for the full marathon he’s going to be running in April, and I am starting a Recovery Week tonight, and then Round 2 of Insanity for me begins next Monday!

Think you have what it takes?

So what was it all about?

Well, this year they hosted it in Downtown LA, at the LA Live center.  LA Live is a entertainment center that combines Staples Center (Where the Lakers Play), The Nokia Center (where you have seen major award shows), Restaurants, Clubs, and Hotels.  Even though I live in the Greater Los Angeles/Orange County area I had never been there.  It was a great venue.

The event started off with a Bang.  Friday was all about some of the BIG things that Beachbody is developing this year.  New Programs, supplements, new opportunities, etc.  (See more below).  That afternoon we were able to go to a live workout with a Beachbody trainer.  Tony Horton, Shaun T, Chalene Johnson, Debbie Siebers, Brett Hoebel, and Leandro Carvalho were all there ready to take us through their tough workouts.  I went to Tony’s (of course)and my fiance went to Chalene’s.  Tony took the group though a P.A.P. workout from the upcoming P90X2.  I was able to do this workout during rehearsals for P90X2 and this one he took us through at summit was just as difficult.  Great fun.

From there, Kate and I were able to go to the Diamond reception, which was a big party at a local club.  That was a blast.  I was able to see a lot of other coaches that I have become friends with throughout the years, watch Leandro dance his brazilian booty off (he is hilarious btw) and have a great time.  A late night turned into an early morning…

The Super Saturday workout was unbelievable.  Each Trainer got up on stage for 20 mins and lead over 2,000+ people in a over 90 min workout, outside at LA Live.  Local news crews were there to cover it.  I was even privileged to go up on stage with Tony Horton and be one of this demonstrators during the event.  What a thrill that was…Seeing all those people working out together in unison from the stage was an amazing thing to witness.  Check out the video below to see me with Tony at the Super Workout.

After that we went to more conferences.  We got to see Chalene Johnson do a motivational speech (which really got me inspired), got to listen to the creators of Shakeology talk about what they do to make it the best supplement on the market and got some training so I could be a better coach to all of you.  That night was a HUGE dinner reception and ceremony to recognize all those coaches who have done great things this year.  That was followed by a Huge party.  Great times.  I was able to speak with Steve Edwards, and Dr. Marcus Elliott (the P3 guy and P90X2 contributor) for a while.  Talk about two fascinating guys.  Their wealth of knowledge in health and fitness is unbelievable.

The next day we got to see the Sneak Preview of P90X2 (I will post more video this week).  That was the highlight for me because I was told that I was in the trailer.  If you haven’t see it yet then go read my P90X2 Coming this Fall post.  After that the even closed down and we went home…extremely tired but pumped up!

What was the Big News from the event?

1.  P90X2 announced:  I know I have already talked about this a ton of times but this was huge so I had to post it again.  What was first titled P90X:MC2 is now officially P90X2.  It will be able to be pre-ordered in August.  We were also told that if you want to get it by Christmas, you NEED to pre order it.  I’ll make sure that you are the first to know if you follow my blog or have me as your coach.  As you know I am in the Chest/Back + Balance and V-Scuplt videos so I have some inside knowledge ;).  This program will blow your mind.  It is muscle confusion taken to the next level.

2.  New Shakeology Flavor: Yep!  Tropical is the flavor.  I was able to try it several times throughout the summit and liked it more and more as the days went on.  If your looking for something fruity that blends VERY well with berries and fruit, you will love this flavor.  It is still being tested but will be available later this year.

3.  P90X iPhone App: I can’t mention a lot about this yet but I can say that we got to see a sneak preview of that the app looks like, how it is put together, the features it will have and when it will be released.  What I can say is that it looks UNBELIEVABLE.  I was SUPER excited to see it.  It looks like the more versatile fitness app that will be on the market.  It will definitely be a must have if you do P90X.  It is only for the iPhone for now.  You should be able to track many things and have it help you with every aspect of P90X.  More to follow when they allow us to talk more about it.  Look for it to be released toward the end of Summer.

4.  Free Coaching Sign Ups for Military: Beachbody wants to say “thank you” to the people who serve our country so they are allowing active military or their spouses to sign up to be coaches for FREE.  No sign up fee and no monthly dues.  How awesome is that?  If you are active military, sign up!  Get on this opportunity if yo have developed a passion for these products and programs.  Feel free to contact me for details.

5.  New Programs!:  There are a TON of new programs in development right now.  These are the ones due out in early 2012.  A Tai Chi program based on the martial art and developed by Dr. Mark Chang.  New TurboFire workouts and new RevAbs workouts are also coming in the near future.  There is also a 21 day Detox program being developed.

6.  New Team Beachbody Facelift: Beachbody is going to keep making teambeachbody.com a great place to go for your health/fitness needs.  Some of the recent changes are the Fit Club Finder, where you can go and find a local fit club in your area, the Beachbody Challenge, where you can submit your success story/transformation and win a cash prize of $100,000!  WOWY has also gotten an upgrade…go log your workouts and win prizes daily!  New Members gallery and well as new Workout Groups you can join.

7.  Next years’ Coach Summit will be in Las Vegas, Nevada at the MGM: If you’re not a coach yet and have been thinking about it, I would join just for this reason!  I, along with somewhere around 10,000 other coaches will be attending this event.  I have already signed up!  It will be a blast.

8.  Coaching in Canada/Mexico: If your outside the US and ready to be a coach then keep holding on because it’s coming!  No news as to exactly when yet but it is definitely going to happen.

There are more things that will be released that I can’t talk too much about yet, but once I’m given the OK, you will be the first to know! If you’re not a Team Beachbody member yet, make sure you sign up (it’s free), getting me as your coach! Click here to make me your coach.

What do you think about all this News?  Did you go the Summit?  Do you want to go Next Year?

Vertical Plyo comes on day 4 of Insanity Asylum and for me this one was the “mother of all the workouts”.  The best way I can describe it is that it is a beast.  Once again you use the agility latter…letting you jump for height and distance, while at the same time making sure your landing with precision and coordination.  Something that athletes will find very familiar.   There are a couple of “oh my god, really?” moments during this workout.  If you used to Power Jumps from Insanity then get ready because in Asylum you do Power Jump with strength bands attached to Legs.  If you have done Plyo Push ups from P90X then come prepared because your doing Plyo Push ups with bands on your legs and arms in Asylum.  This workout gave me the biggest burn and the highest heart rate that I have experience so far with Insanity Asylum.  If you can get through Vertical Plyo all the way without stopping and with good form them you are in peak shape. So far so good!  Can’t wait for Game day!

Here are my day 3 and day 4 Insanity Asylum Videos, Let me know what you think!

Maximize your sports performance in just 30 days.

Start your winning streak with INSANITY: THE ASYLUM™. Shaun T takes your skills and fitness up to elite status with sports-specific training and progressive drills inspired by pro athletes. During this 30-day program, he’ll push you to build your speed, coordination, agility, and power. You’ll be ready for game day—every day.

Why is it effective?

Shaun T built INSANITY: THE ASYLUM on three cross-training cycles. During Cycle 1, he’ll push you to master a series of core sports exercises. Once you’ve gotten those under control, the real fun begins. As you step up to Cycle 2 and Cycle 3, Shaun T challenges you to dig even deeper with more complicated sports moves and progressively tougher drills. This combination pushes you to use more muscles and develop skills that give you a measurable competitive edge.

What makes INSANITY: THE ASYLUM unique?

Elite athletes use proven sports training drills to sharpen their game-day skills and get into astonishing shape. Now with INSANITY: THE ASYLUM, you can too.   With its included Agility Ladder and Speed Rope, you’ll train with more focus, concentration, and skill—just like an elite pro athlete. After 30 days, you’ll get faster, stronger, and more agile than you ever imagined—enabling you to perform any sport or activity with eye-popping speed and skill.

How much will Asylum cost?

Right now the reported retail price is $89.85. I understand there will be a DELUXE option with more equipment included such as chin up bar, bands, etc. Shaun T also advised that people in the video are doing the workouts with and without equipment (demonstrating modified moves) so that even if you don’t have all of the equipment, you can still do this program.

As you know I have been doing P90X, Insanity, P90X Plus and The P90X: One on One videos for over 2 years now so anytime I can incorporate a new program into my routine I will do it.  I just finished my 7th hybrid round of P90X and plan on starting Asylum for the full 30 days as soon as I can get my hands on it.  Remember Insanity The Asylum will be out VERY soon. Keep checking back here because I will be posting it as soon as it is available.
