So very empowering to see my progress since day 1, when I had to do basically all of the moves modified. I'd set a 60-day challenge for myself just to keep motivated and I'm proud to say that even with three small kids, I never missed one day!
I did my workouts in my basement and if my kids weren't napping, then they were playing with their toys behind me, or they'd come and join in. It was really cute to see them attempting to do the moves and dancing along to the music on the videos.
I really liked that the Insanity Max 30 workouts were only five days per week (M-F weekdays). So I had my weekends free to spend with my family without guilt. I also liked that it ramps you up to being able to do the moves or that you can watch the modified video and not do all of the plyometrics (read: lots of jumping). I progressed from modified, to a semi-modified version (that I made up based on my personal training experience and years of working out since I was a teen), to doing the moves unmodified. Who knew I could do walking push-ups, push-up jacks, planks to squats (this one feels pretty cool to do), or hit the floor tuck jumps (this one is amazingly cool), or one handed burpees?
Granted I was still really tired and of course I maxed out every single day and some days, a bunch of times over the 30 minutes, but I did it. All.
In some way I'm actually sad that it's over, and maybe I'll do this series again in the coming months. I'll be posting my "before & after" photos as soon as I take my "afters". For now here's me, right after finishing the final workout.
