Yes, it was day 2 of 60. I had not realized that today was the workout that was released a while back as a preview from the Tony Horton One on One series as a ‘bonus’ disk. So I have done this particular workout quite a few times now. But it still KICKS my butt. That is how good it is. I churned through my highest calorie burn this evening with this particular workout at just under 700. I was maxing my heart rate in the low 90%. Which I try to stick under personally. But it was feeling good so I went with it.
I won’t go into a crazy detailed report of this one, because there are a ton of reviews of it out there.
- Warm-up – 10 minutes of pretty intense cardio based moves. You move the entire 10 to get your heart rate up and muscles loose before the stretch. It is a progression from mild to intense movements. Same moves but repeated 3 times. The one that gets me all the time is the 123-123. once the 3rd repeat, I just can’t keep up. :)
- The stretch is about 6 minutes. Does a pretty good job of covering the key body parts.
- The next sequence is the cardio sequence which is repeated 3 times. Goes for about 2 minutes per sequence. By the 3rd sequence I am tuckered out on the mountain limb. But you just know you have press through it and you’ll see the benefits.
- After that one, you then move onto the Level 1 drills. This is what KILLS me. But i love it. The drills are serious killers on my arms during the push-up’s and core work. Have to just keep pushing through and as the strength builds I shouldn’t have any issues. This is repeated like the others 3 times. Little over 2 minutes per sequence..
- Cool Down finishes off the ~46 minute routine.
I mean, this workout is great. You are moving the entire time, heart rate pumping, just sweating yourself silly. I had to get some wristbands to help keep the sweat down and they are still not enough. You really do create a puddle of sweat. No kidding aside about that. You will enjoy it.
NOTEs:
- Watch your heart rate.
- Keep hydrated
- get insane and bring the intensity. Pay attention to your body and let it guide you.
- This is not for everyone, but you can modify (personally any exercise can be modified in some way) so that you can get through it.
I expect to continue to raise my intensity levels each time I go through this workout. Hopefully you can get ‘insane’ with me. If interested in learning more, drop me a note on my contact page and we can talk. I would love to hear where you are and where you want to be. If interested in getting ‘insanity’ go here. You won’t regret it. The stories of success I’ve heard of people only in their 8th day of the routine is awesome.
