When I first started with Beachbody I chose 21 Day Fix cause I was seriously out of shape at the time. I had my coach reassure me several times that this program was nothing like Insanity before I started. I had never tried Insanity (or any Beachbody program) but I was not one for doing exercises that were outside of my comfort zone and just the name of Insanity scared the crap out of me.
So when Insanity Max 30 was released at the end of 2014 I had no intention of trying it. But, by that point I had successfully completed: 21 Day Fix, Brazil Butt Lift, PiYo, and P90. These were all workouts that were in my comfort zone. When it was time for me to move on to the next workout, something deep inside me told me to SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP and GO BIG.
After researching Insanity Max 30 and learning that it offered a low-impact modifier (that you can specifically set the DVD up to play the modifier option for each workout) I decided to give it a shot. I remember I was so scared starting this program, I truly didn't think I had it in me to complete it. So you can imagine that I was quite shocked when I liked the program, and eventually LOVED the program.
Insanity Max 30 has a special place in my heart and has become my favorite Beachbody workout. Here's why:
- The workouts are only 30 minutes long (Mon - Fri) and a quick 20 minute recovery workout for Saturday.
- No equipment required = no setup/breakdown (which saves me time).
- It comes with a large variety of workouts so I NEVER got bored.
- Shaun T is amazing! He keeps me so motivated and says things that make me believe in myself each time I want to quit (and let's just say he's "easy on the eyes" too, so that's always a plus!).
- It turns your workout into a competition - WITH YOURSELF. Every time I started my workout I was eager to see if I could beat my last "max out" time.
- This workout made me feel like I could conquer the world. Each day (after I did my workout in the morning) I would think "OK, I just survived the hardest 30 minutes of my day. I can do anything!"
- The nutrition plan is the same portion-based system as my beloved 21 Day Fix. I love the flexibility and simplicity of this system. It's based on eating foods that make you feel good, and fuel you to perform in your workouts. I'm not required to count calories which to me is a form of torture!
Sadly, I was not able to complete this program in the exact 8 week schedule as I had hoped. During the course of the 8 weeks I had gotten the stomach virus twice, and also need surgery to remove a cyst (thanks to my previous C-section) - so I was out of commission multiple times. I was doing the program from mid-January through early June. Many times I was only able to do the modified moves in the workouts due to whatever ailment I was suffering from at the time. It was really frustrating for me to have so many bumps in the road, but I feel that I gave it my best shot at the time. I didn't end up with visually noticeable results because my last month of the program was a major dud (my surgery left me totally inactive for a week, then I was modifying for 3 weeks after).
So now, I am ready to DIG DEEP and get myself back into Insanity Max 30 again. This time I feel more confident about it because Shaun T already showed me that leaving my comfort zone will result in growth - physically and mentally. I am also excited because we now have the amazing Beachbody Performance line which will help me perform better and aid muscle recovery.
