Dedication to fitness can be tough. Life happens, temptations abound, we get tired… there’s a whole list of reasons it can be tough. But I wanted to share with you a story of a woman I was recently lucky enough to meet. We’ll call her “P” for now but she is an amazing example of …
A common Insanity question I often get is people wondering how to focus on SPECIFIC muscle groups or areas of the body. The answer is pretty simple:
You don’t.
I know, I know! That’s a lame answer but check this out: Insanity is a full body cardio conditioning program- one that works you top to bottom through …
With the introduction of Body Beast, there’s one question that’s being asked more than all others: “What’s better for gaining muscle? P90X, Insanity or Body Beast?” If you’ve been scouring late night infomercials, message boards and You Tube results videos in a quest to find the answer, you’ve come to the right place.
That said, I’ll …
If you’re churning through the “am I seriously doing this?” Insanity workout, you know the rallying cry is all about tightening the core. You’re constantly being told to “tighten your core” but unless you’re practiced and used to deflecting flurries of high speed Kung Fu punches with the power of your abs gut armor, the …
P90X has a trick up its sleeve: It’s not a “90 Days and Out and Done” system. The program is designed to train you in the habit of eating right and working out– a habit intended to keep you kicking booty on a healthy lifestyle long, long looooong after your first 90 days are up. …
What is it with dudes and mass. We all want it, we all work for it and anything that could get in the way of our hard-earned gains is given the metaphorical concrete bath, thrown in a padlocked safe and tossed into the drink.
Thing is, your body is pretty efficient and if you’re training it …
I’ll make this simple: NO.
Activity, pushing hard and torching calories all day every day is great but all sweat and no rest does your body more harm than good. There’s a reason P90X, Insanity and even The Asylum include Recovery weeks. Rest is when your body rebuilds. Rest is when you recover. Rest is where …
For years I’ve been meaning to make a video about how P90X worked for me and had all kinds of potential to work for anyone who dedicated themselves to the program and tried it. Almost half-a-half-decade later (decade always makes things sound longer), it’s done and out there.
The take away is this: You CAN do …
One of the most common questions we receive as coaches and P90X/Insanity grads is whether to start with Insanity or P90X. For me, it’s Tony Horton’s “P90X” all day long. For Coach MC it’s Shaun T.’s “Insanity” but… like most everything else fitness related (and I know you’re tied of hearing this) the answer isn’t …
So you’ve decided to check your limitations (and sanity) at the door and enter the 40-60 minute world of panting, sweaty discomfort as delivered by Shaun T. through the Insanity workout.
