Insanity WorkoutIf you go to the 'P90X or Insanity Workout?' post, you'll see that there are some 120 comments or so. Now, half of them are mine, but they're all responses to the same basic question: "Am I ready for Insanity/P90X?" What I sense is a lot of excitement, a lot of enthusiasm, but a level of uncertainty as to whether people are ready for such an extreme workout. With good reason! I'm going to focus on Insanity today, but my advice applies to any extreme workout.

By |2019-06-22T09:18:20-04:00March 1st, 2010|Exercise & Fitness, Insanity Blog, Latest Post|

Insanity WorkoutAnybody can grab the INSANITY workout, go into their garage and bust out a session. Just pound their bones and joints out on a cement floor, gulp down a glass of water, and then go about their day, feeling raw, pumped up, and ultimately worn out and in pain. Folks, this is an extreme fitness program for a reason. This is marketed to the elite because it takes more than mental toughness (that's the most basic requirement). It requires that your body be in top form, that you be in fighting shape, that you be able to take an extreme amount of physical stress and thrive. And unless you're a machine, or a marine, or a decathlete, you're going to need to take care of yourself. Yes, nutrition, yes nine hours of sleep. But these three things below will help you not only get through INSANITY, but to thrive.

But the question then becomes--now what?

INSANITY Workout and Joint Pain

By |2019-06-22T09:19:29-04:00February 2nd, 2010|Exercise & Fitness, Insanity Blog, Latest Post, no photo|

Insanity Workout Joint PainIt'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 ;)
