Coach Dave’s Insanity Max 30 Review
I love a good workout challenge. I’ve done all of Shaun T’s workouts and, I’ll be honest, most of them are butt kickers and not for the faint of heart (hence the frequent use of the word “insanity”). But, he did something a little different this time—I’m passing along my Insanity Max 30 Review, because this program is definitely an option for a wider range of folks.
About Insanity Max 30
With Insanity Max 30, Shaun T has figured out how to make intense work-outs accessible to folks that are just starting out. Okay, yes, Insanity Max 30 still earns the “Insanity” title, but this time around it’s because it gives completely ridiculous results.
The program includes 12 killer cardio sessions and Tabata strength workouts. You’ll see tons of new moves that will push your body further than you thought you could go. The best part—workouts are just 30 minutes!
True to Shaun T form, the program uses your own body as a tool—yep, that’s right, there are no weights or equipment. It has 160 brand new moves and includes a low-impact modifier for those of you recovering from injuries (like me).
So, what’s difference between his Insanity programs and Insanity Max 30?
The workout is intense. Pretty much nobody makes it through the first time—it’s that tough. Shaun T made it so challenging that even HE had to practice for months to get it through it. Rather than me tell you how it’s different, here’s what Shaun T had to say:
“INSANITY MAX:30 IS THE HARDEST WORKOUT I’VE EVER TAUGHT.
Here’s what’s different about this workout: you’ll start the 30 minute work-out and push yourself until you’re at your limit, when your muscles are rubber and you can’t catch your breath, you’ll know you’re completely “maxed out.” When you start that might be two minutes in, maybe you make it four. But that’s a success, believe me!
The next day, you’ll push just a little farther. Even if it’s only thirty seconds more, it’s a win and has you headed in the right direction. Each day you hit your new “max” and be that much closer to the fitness level you desire. Before you know it, you’ll be looking and feeling great.” | SHAUN T, Insanity creator
Can Beginners Do Insanity Max 30?
As I said above, Shaun T’s older workouts are so challenging that a typical person had little hope of having any degree of success with them. They were really targeted at hard core (insane) fitness seekers.
Then, he released Cize and we found out that the man can dance AND have fun when he works out.
Now, there’s Insanity Max 30. It’s a game changer. It works for beginners because you give it your ultimate effort until you’re at YOUR max. The next day, you go a little father—and so on. As long as you’re pushing further every day, you’ll see results and feel your own confidence build with it.
You definitely want to consult your physician before beginning this (or any high-intensity and physically demanding) program. You’re going to get the best results with a combination of fitness AND nutrition.
