Men's Health Workouts (2 new)

[KateTT]

Update on Men's Health Anarchy workouts.
Today I did Phase 1 Strength and Phase 2 Strength. Both 30 minute workouts. They were not as challenging to me as the MH60 workouts but not easy.
Both Phases you work with varying timed sets. Like 40/20sec, 30/15secs etc. Very metabolic with just a few seconds to grab your next weights.
I used 15s, 20s, 25s depending on the exercise.
In between each set is a brief 60 sec cardio blast. Not hard, nice to keep your HR up.

Phase 2 is maybe a little harder and perhaps more metabolic with a few more "robust" moves to keep the HR up. Like instead of just a shoulder press, you do push presses.

Andy Speer is ok. Not bad, but I definitely like BJ Gaddour and David Jacks better.

Tomorrow I'll do the two Cardio workouts then the Endurance workouts on Wed. I'll try to post more soon.

I am also copying a more thorough review here from another site (not me):

Oh Anarchy sounds like Tracey Staehle Total Body Bootcamp workouts. I mean the set up of FOR-TIME and metabolic/circuit nature. I need more of these in my collection. These type of workouts put me back in shape ASAP! I may use my jump rope for cardio blasts here and there.

I don’t know, I’m feeling I MUST get all. Perhaps these goes OOP soon as MSX. Definitely getting MH60. Besides I have SHS, ConBody, MA40, and New Rules of Muscle on my radar. Riptensity looks Insanity-ish so I feel don’t need it.

Are there clips for the new workouts?

I just got new rules of muscle Saturday, so have only done two workouts so far. Back and abs so far have been tough, with familiar moves that have been tweaked to really hit the muscles. I am not in far enough to give a full review, but will provide more info in a week or so if that’s something that might help someone.

Jen - Definitely your feedback will help. We need more like you here

I plan to get all workouts I’m targeting at once so I’m awaiting more reviews. New Rules of Muscle sounds like my cup of tea.

Pharma_gal- Follow the link up thread. I believe all workouts except Anarchy has clips. Maybe there are more in YT. I need to look for those.

I know your are doing Lift4 which I think is a bit similar to MH workouts. I think I may like Lift4 too but I’m not into BOD. Maybe someday if they release Body Beast 2,

I'm also interested in New Rules. The instructor has an Instagram full of body part mini workouts with instructional videos. https://www.instagram.com/ebenezersamuel23/?hl=en

Sorry to enable yet again, but I just read 2lazy4gym's review of Riptensity and she says it's nothing like Insanity.
I copied this from her Comments area - maybe it will help?

Hi. I’m interested in Riptensity. Is it similar to Insanity in any way? Because if it is it might be a deal breaker. But so far I like what I see.

No it is not like Insanity at all. It is intense but not so intense I ever had to take personal breaks just so I could carry on–which I have to do in Insanity workouts.
