Insanity Max 30 Breakdowns and reviews

[andtckrtoo]

Hi all -

I got Insanity Max 30 while I was at working from home, so I was able to review the first work out.

You have the option to do the modifier split screen or the regular screen. If you choose regular you can see the modifier easily, but if you choose the modifier screen, it's literally a split screen so you can always see the modifier.

I haven't done it, but in reviewing this, it looks like a combo of T25 and Insanity (the first one at least - I'm hoping to review some others today as well). One of my complaints about T25 was that it seemed to be unending hopping, and this is similar - LOTS of jacks. I plan to do this one today, and I'm a bit tired, so I may pull out my trampoline and do some of these on that. I tried to explain the move if it was new to me. I'll continue with the break downs as I can.

Thanks for posting this and keep 'em coming! This is on my wishlist but I was waiting for reviews.

[IceQueen07]

Thanks for posting. Now I really want this set. I wish it wasn't so much $$

[andtckrtoo]

I did the first one - Cardio Challenge. I have done Insanity, Asylum (the only ShaunT I ever sent back), Asylum 2 and T25. I was not a fan of T25 and when I previewed these I thought these were more like that. Nope... These are what everyone had hoped T25 would be. I'm a sweaty mess and I took it easy as I don't typically workout in the afternoon. I'm thinking I'm going to REALLY like these. My kitten crawled into my lap and as much as I love him, I need him to move. He's too hot...

Thank you, sounds good, mine will be here Thurs. Not sure if you said, but did you get the deluxe DVDs also? Thanks!

[andtckrtoo]

No, I got the basic set. I have containers and I have tons of ab work.

[catcrazy]

Ok thanks!!

Andtckrtoo,

Thanks so much for the detailed breakdowns. I hadn't really considered this set before, but now that I've got a good idea of what's included I might just go for it!
