It takes more than being in good shape to succeed at INSANITY. It takes more than having tough mental determination. Takes more than even that vital component, having heart. If you have all three--a solid physical foundation, an iron will and enough heart to persevere against all odds, you'll definitely finish INSANITY. But there are a few crucial tips that you have to follow in order to excel.
After much thought, work and coding, we're is proud to announce the unveiling of our INSANITY review section. One of the most common questions put to us by our friends and customers is basically, 'What is the INSANITY workout like? Is it too tough, too intense for me?' Well, with our new review section, we hope to be able to answer that question for everybody.
P90X is seen as the ultimate challenge. 90 days of almost ridiculously hard exercise, endless hours of brutal workouts that push you to your limits and then challenge you to go one further. If you do what Tony Horton says, if you eat right, sleep right, and break through your barriers to reach that 90 day mark, then congratulations. You've proved yourself to be Extreme. But the question then becomes--now what?
It's no secret that the INSANITY workout is intense. Six days a week you work out, from cardio circuits to plyometrics, ranging from thirty minutes to an hour, leaping and sprinting and squatting and dropping down into push ups. Usually most workouts operate on a day on, day off schedule, allowing your body to recover and adapt slowly to your new routine, but INSANITY keeps on the pressure from the get-go. This is why it's slated as a workout for experienced athletes--not because novices might lack willpower or determination, but rather because they won't have the conditioning necessary to prevent their bodies from falling apart after the first few weeks. So how do you prevent your joints from getting all banged up and sore? Even a conditioned athlete will run into trouble if he's not careful. In today's post, we'll look at some options, and see if we can't help prevent your joints from flaring up ;)
Say you're one of the brave, suicidal few, and are on the verge or have actually finished the 60 day INSANITY program. You've sweated, cursed, near given up, but the end is now in sight. You're ripped, shredded, lean mean and in the best shape of your life. But now what? Where do you go from here? Any form of post-INSANITY workout can seem like a step down, in intensity, in challenge, in benefits. What do you do after your 60 days are up? How do you keep up the heat?
The urge to buy or download pirated copies of expensive workout products is strong. If you have the technical savvy, or have found somebody online who's willing to sell you a knocked off copy for half price, then what's not to like? Get the quality goods, save cash, workout and get the body you want, all without breaking the bank. Smart? Actually, no, and not just because we retail these products. Read on to discover some very real dangers involved with these activities, and then ask yourself--is it really worth it?
INSANITY has exploded into the fitness world. Everybody is trying it out, trying to get ripped, trying to make it through those sixty days. Nobody can make 15 minute's worth of exercise as excruciating and painful and amazingly awesome as Shaun T, and the number of people trying INSANITY can attest to that. But what about the man himself? Does Shaun T really motivate people to get moving, or is he just a guy with some fancy moves and an annoying attitude? If you're going to be spending an hour a day with him, it helps if he doesn't drive you crazy. So--in this post we'll take a look at Shaun T, and ask--does he have the goods?
The biceps are widely regarded by serious weight lifters as ‘vanity’ muscles, since relative to the other muscles in the body they perform a very specific and limited job. Other muscles such as the hamstrings, deltoids, lats or glutes are used extensively in compound exercises, but biceps are almost incidental to such major exercises such as the squat or dead lift, and get plenty of exercise when done in a power clean or bench press. However, across the world, hundreds of thousands of people focus on the biceps, curling away like mad before mirrors, seeking to gain bulging biceps like Arnold Schwarznegger. Since everybody insists on doing this exercise despite its limited benefits to strength, power, or explosiveness, it’s at least worth trying to do correctly.
If you’ve spent any time in a commercial gym, you’ll inevitably have run across weird, malformed pieces of metal that other people seem to think are normal pieces of equipment. This ranges from a host of different grips for cable exercises (strange triangles, V’s of knotted rope, knurled bars only a foot long) and barbells that seem to have been run over by strange tractors, their forms all bent and warped. What are all these bizarre devices, and should you investigate them further, learn how to use them? One in particular gets a lot of usage, and that’s the EZ Curl Bar, the warped and twisted barbell. You’ll see people doing bicep curls with them all day long. Should you?
While there’s not much you can do to your face without the help of a surgeon, you can definitely change the shape of your posterior through exercise and diet. By just adding one little exercise to your routine, you can enhance the attractiveness of your butt, and that exercise is the Romanian Deadlift, or RDL.
