That’s also about when I noticed how cleverly Shaun T had put these exercises together. Sweat wasn’t dripping off me, but I knew it was a matter of time. By the time I finished my last Globe Jump, I was gasping. INSANITY promises to make you work out in a puddle of your own sweat, and by then I believed it. And then Power Knees.īy the time we hit Globe Jumps (which are particularly brutal on a concrete floor) we were both slick with sweat. Just as your breath is starting to struggle back under control, you’re thrown into the next workout. You don’t have enough time between workouts to re-equilibrate. And that’s when it really hit me as to why INSANITY was going to be so rough. Then, a quick breather, and we were thrown into the Power Jacks. So when Shaun T started the test and launched us into the switch kicks, there was no longer any time or energy to spare on feeling self conscious. This was clearly going to be a question of survival. One thing I immediately noticed was that both Grace and I had already transitioned out of feeling goofy and laughing at how up beat the whole setup was to suddenly getting our game faces on. Five minutes in, and I turned to look at Grace.
Didn’t help that I was working out in my garage which has poor ventilation. By the end of the warm up I was already short on breath and my brow was slick with sweat. Jogging on the spot, and then you begin to quickly cycle through jumping jacks, high knees, side leaps and more. Having those two backups is incredibly useful-it allows Shaun T to focus on you through the screen, and gives you a basis of comparison for yourself as each reveals how many reps they accomplished that round, and how that compared to the first time they did the test. Shaun T walks you through each exercise, and then has two backup friends do the actual test as he motivates you. How hard could it be? I’d just go as hard as I could, do my best, and cruise on through to the other side. I’d heard so much about the workout that I was intimidated-would I be able to keep up? On the other hand, this was just the Fit Test, a mere thirty minutes that would probably involve warm up and cool down. I’d been anticipating starting Shaun T’s INSANITY for over a week, and finally the day was here. I have to admit that I was a strange blend of nervousness and confidence going into the Fit Test. Wish me luck!įor more information on just what kind of madness I’ve signed up for, check out our Shaun T INSANITY page. With the holiday season coming up, I’ve decided not to wait till the beginning of January to get into shape–instead, I’m going to roll right through the holidays while working out like a mad man and eating as much healthy food as I can. So yes, I have decided to undertake the INSANITY workout alongside my friend Grace, an incredibly intense 60 day cardio/calisthenics/plyometric regimen put together by Shaun T and meant to whip your body into shape.
