Official Review of Insanity Max 30

I figured now that I've officially completed the 60 day journey of Insanity Max 30 I will do a review of the program and reveal my results.

First off, I'll say that this is the first complete Beachbody challenge that I've ever done. I've been doing Beachbody programs for years, but I've never been part of an official challenge. I had no idea what to expect out of the 60 days. Which was kind of weird because it was my first challenge being a coach as well. Lol. So I was coaching my challengers along the way while also learning how the whole thing worked myself. But I have to say that I really, really enjoyed it. Not just the program, but the whole concept of the challenge group. To have that daily accountability and support was really motivating. I'm fortunate in that I actually really enjoy working out and 99% of the time don't need someone to push me to get my workouts done because I enjoy doing them, but for someone who really thrives off of having a workout accountability partners and finds their success in that, the challenge group is the PERFECT platform for that! There were a few days during the 60 day journey that I wasn't feel like getting up and doing my workout, but the encouragement, motivation, and accountability of the group really helped to keep me going in those moments where I didn't really want to do it.

So now.....what did I think about the actual program???

I LOOOOOOVED it!!!!

Seriously, it was so much fun! There were so many moves that Shaun T came up with for this workout that you constantly felt like you were changing things up and it was impossible to get bored! Cardio, cardio, cardio!!! But also a lot of strength training in there! Body weight strength training. I feel so much strong after this program. My pushups are still my weakest thing; but they are leaps and bounds better than they were before! I can actually do a few of the plyometric pushups now without having to be on my knees. I have to go to my knees after like 3 or 4, haha, but I can do 3 or 4 now, which is HUGE!! The other thing that I really love about Max 30 is that here is a modifier track that you can select that does a split screen of the normal workout and the modified workout so if you are just starting out and want something a little bit less intense or if you have an injury of some sort that prevents you from doing all of the jumping and such, you have someone that you can watch the whole time, on every move, that helps you to get through the whole workout at your level. I actually used this track for the first two weeks while my husband was doing the program with me since he has knee and back issues and couldn't do all of the high intensity jumping.

Every single day I felt challenged to do my best. Knowing that it was only going to be 30 minutes really helped me commit to that daily workout as well. The time frame is so manageable that anybody should be able to find the time in their schedule to make it happen! But even though it's only 30 minutes, don't think you're getting a weak-sauce workout.... Oh no! You feel like you just ran a marathon when you're done. It's that intense. I had no idea I could even sweat that much in such a short period of time.

 

Before I reveal my before/after pics, I have to give this disclosure.... I completely forgot to take my day 1 pictures. Never again will I forget to take day 1 pictures because I saw the most change between day 1 and day 30, so I'm completely bummed about that!!! But at least I took my measurements, so I have something to go off of. So the pictures that you'll see here are my 30 day and 60 day photos.

Pounds lost: 8.5 Inches lost: 10 inches overall

I'm definitely happy with the results that I got. I know that I could have done better if I would have eliminated the cheat days that I had while I was doing the program. Overall my nutrition was really good, but I know that I could have done even better with a couple of additional tweaks and restrictions to my diet.

But I am very happy with the results that I got. I'm comfortably wearing at least two pairs of pants that were tight when I first started the program!!

Next up is the 21 Day Fix Extreme.....starting tomorrow!!!!!
