Insanity-Plyometric Cardio Circuit

By phattyfit On July 22, 2010 No Comments

This is pretty much the first DVD in the set and boy was I surprised how hard a 42 minute long workout was.  The Insanity workout begins with a warm up that  consists of 3 minute intervals.  These intervals are supposed to get your heart pumping and in the first 3 minutes I was pumping.  You warm up for 9 total minutes and each round consists of  jogging in place, Jumping Jacks, Heisman’s, Heisman 123, Butt Kicks, High Knees and Mummy Kicks.  You can easily understand a few but a Heisman 123 is going back and forth and then going into a quick Heisman pose.  Mummy kicks are kind of a joke but still decent cardio.  Start with arms straight out and as you shuffle your feet you have to cross your hands at the same time.  After all is done you get a quick 30 second break and holy crap that was just the warm up. 

So honestly before I go any further Insanity is not a joke people it’s the real deal.  I thought P90X was challenging but Insanity is challenging because there is a lot of non stop

RevAbs- Rev It Up!

By phattyfit On March 13, 2010 No Comments

This workout once again is a quick 40 minute workout and reminds me of Kenpo X.    You have 4 exercises in the video that get repeated in three challenging rounds.  Each round will get more challenging until the final round called the Spice round.    The warm up is usually the same as the other RevAbs video and lasts just over 3 minutes.

The four moves that you do are:

Martelo Combo, Capoiera Combo, Jumping Jacks, and Punch Combo

Martelo Combo in the first round is 3 minutes and like I said it reminds me of Kenpo X.  In this exercise your moving side to side doing knee ups, side kicks and booty bridges.  I like it because it tests your ability to be flexible around the groin area.

Capoiera Combo is next and confused the heck out of me for a while but it mainly consists of step backs, booty time, Skiba, and jumping jacks.  Its like five fast paced moves in 1 minute.  Fun but confusing, kind of like Ab Ripper X.

Jumping Jacks are next and I know what your thinking.  Big deal!  Well you do a quick 30 of them in 30seconds and that’s your break
