The Most INSANE Workout Review Ever

So there are times when I feel as though I have hit a road block in my workout exercises and I need something fresh and new to pump up my adrenaline. So, I went in search for a new workout that would instantly make me sweat and feel like im dropping the pounds as I work out. Lets just say it was INSANE!

I was up late the other night and I saw an infomercial for a new workout called INSANITY. Everyone on the commercial was ripped and it looked like the real deal. I love to feel sore and tired after my workouts but this took it to another level.

If you looked in my window while I was doing this workout, it must have looked like I was on a pogo stick because it involved so much jumping up and down to get the heart racing.  


I quickly You tubed the workout and found numerous people that have posted their workout videos up. I tried abs and cardio..... i think it  was a big mistake to do both in one night. Let me put it this way..... I never felt so much pain in my ab muscles then I did while doing this workout. It was a mix of fast intervals of hard ab workouts. I was dripping sweat and loving every moment of it even though my body hated me the day after.

So the moral of the story is that you definitely have to be a little insane to start doing this workout but if you want to get ripped in a short period of time, you would be insane to not do this workout.

You need to accept yourself before you can improve yourself

The first thing you need to acknowledge before you go on your diet and fitness quest, is that you dont need to get to a stick thin body to be satisfied with yourself.

I have seen many people go from a size 9 to a size 4 through rigorous workouts and then not be able to stop until they are a size 0 because at that point any size on fat disgusts them.

It is important to set a goal you expect to reach and once you have achieved that goal, you just need to maintain it. MoSt importantly, no matter how much weight you lost, you cant lose yourself in the process.

Keep working hard..........

Exercise machines are not always the way to go

I think that most people when they start there fitness journey have the misconception that they need to get a gym membership and work out on special machines...........Not true

The problem with using gym machines is that they tend to put more strain on the body then if you were to do body resistance exercises. 

Example: Seated Leg Extension Machine

What it's supposed to do: Train the quadriceps.
What it actually does: It strengthens a motion your legs aren't actually designed to do, and can put undue strain on the ligaments and tendons surrounding the kneecaps.

What I have recently discovered during my search for better and more advanced workout exercises, is that the most popular ones that the celebrities and fitness trainers are doing, are ones with resistance bands, medicine balls, and motions such as squats and lunges that need no equipment. 


From my own experience, when I leave the gym after a long workout on the treadmill or leg machines my knees and feet usually hurt. However, after I do an at home workout where I do mostly mountain climbers, lunges, pushups and all body weight drills I dont get the aches and pains that I do after leaving the gym.
