Let me start out by saying it was off the hook!  I’m not sure how anyone could devise such an ‘insane’ workout, but they did and they brought it to the MASSES and it is a BLAST!  Today was Fit test #3 and Max Interval Circuit. 

I’ve posted my video update for day 36 here.   

I did the fit test earlier in the day, from a bit of advice from a friend, and I’m so glad that I had.   Ok.  So what are we looking at below.  Yep, the results from the 3 fit tests so far.  As we can see, Insanity Fit test #3 was a hit! I made great progress in all but one of the categories which I have no concerns about.  To me, these are simply guides to showing us how far along we’ve come and so far I’m VERY happy with how far I’ve come. 

There is much work to do to achieve my goals, but Fit Test 3 continues to motivate me even harder!

So what was Max Interval Circuit like?

Let me say, that without ANY doubt in my mind, that if this entire month is like this, there is ZERO, and i mean ZERO, reason that people should not and cannot reach their fitness GOALS!  This workout was extremely intense from the moment the counter started.  Shaun T. was focused, excited and got the ball rolling right away with the warm-up. 

Total Workout time ~ 59 Minutes.

 warm-up –> ~ 10 minutes, was different than most others that we’ve seen so far.  There were moves that we would see in the normal routine and of course brand new moves.  Ultimately the entire Max Interval Circuit Workout has new moves, modified moves throughout.  Again, another reason this works.  Variety!  Mixing things up in Month 2, assures you that your body is no longer use to the same moves, same motions.  It was mixed up from the get go.  There were some great moves in the warm-up. The Jump rope, the  floor hops, throwing in some switch kicks. It was all good.

stretch –>  ~ 4 minutes.  It was interesting to see also that the stretches were different.  He made adjustments to the hip flexor stretch and just mixing it up!

First circuit –> ~12 minutes.  You loop through the circuit in 3 x 4 minute sets.    I loved the Ski abs, power jacks, in and outs, and oblique.  Nice sequence to really get the sweat rolling!.  You need to find what motivates you each circuit to dig deep and push through them.  Shaun Thompson has just non-stop energy. Like the damn energizer bunny! It’s awesome. Because that shows you it can be done!  We can all reach that level if we get through all the inhibitions and obstacles we have.

Second Circuit –> ~ 12 minutes.  Same concept of 3 x 4 minute sets.  This one starts right away with Shaun looking for POWER from you.  The worse were the floor switch kicks. Man they felt like they would never end. Took me to the 3rd block to really get into a groove and getting the form right.  Be strong, tighten your abs and stay focused! Those are the rules of thumb to follow! 

Final Circuit –> ~ 12 minutes as well.  3 x 4 minute sets. Starts out with side suicide jumps.  Which we all really love suicide jumps already, but he adds a nice twist and has you doing them to the side.  By the time I go to the 2nd set I was feeling just exhausted. But I was able to push through, focus and dig deep to find the energy to finish strong. 

Cool Down –> ~ 4 minutes.  Use it. Live it and Love it.  You will be happy that it finally comes along.  I will say however, that you may want to add some additional stretches and warm down afterwards on your own.  I felt that I needed more and so some of you may as well.   Don't forget some kind of Results and Recovery drink afterwards. It helps.  Look for something that is 4 parts carbs to one part protein. 

What does all this craziness mean? Means that if you can stick with it, do everything that you can do, push through, dig deep, every single cliché statement out there, you will find results. As Shaun T. mentions just before the 3rd set of the final circuit, Max Interval training goes into full effect when you are down and out and pressing on and getting it done! Make it COUNT!  

We are no longer in warm up mode folks (aka Month 1), we are in the GAME with a full court press for the next 28 days. There is  no turning back, there is no 2nd place to getting our health, fitness and reaching our goals! Find that motivation that will DRIVE you through the finish line! Get that game face on.
