Insanity Max 30 Update!

So I'm finished with week number 2 of Shaun T's new program Insanity Max 30,  and the program is as advertised! I was a bit skeptical when I ordered it but after the 3rd workout I knew I was in for a special treat! Each day your challenged to push yourself to the MAX and record the time you "Maxed Out". I now find myself looking to better my time each workout and it really makes you work that much harder.

                                                     

I thought I was pretty decent with my cardio but the Sweat program proved otherwise. Started off pretty strong but at 12;15 The combination Squat Double Jab took it's toll. I took about a 40 second rest and got right back in it and was able to finish the 30 minutes. The next time I might not be so aggressive the first round!

Tabata Power was a whole different ballgame. This particular workout will test your triceps to no end! Between the plyometric push-up hops to the three combinations of dip exercises my triceps were toast! But I gotta say loved it. It's a challenge and one I gladly accept. So here is the result of my second go around!

Yes I was so intent on making it the full 30 minutes I ended up Maxing Out 2 minutes earlier due to a wicked abdominal cramp most likely from the 6 different combination of abdominal destruction beforehand! The Friday Fight disc is probably one of the most difficult workouts in the series and will test you no doubt! If you have not pushed yourself through the week then your gonna be in big trouble I promise! I am so excited heading into week 3 and once finished will be posting an update and some pictures of my progress! If your an athlete and are looking to change up your routine and want results then this program is for you! Message me for more information and I would be happy to get you started!

Planking

Everyone from athletes to those simply interested in developing core strength to alleviate lower back pain can benefit from incorporating plank exercises into their workouts. The plank can be performed from a front-lying or side-lying position, depending on which muscle groups you’d like to focus on. Always perform a brief dynamic warm-up consisting of walking or other light aerobics to prepare your muscles before jumping into plank exercises.

The Right Way to Plank

Front plank is performed by lying face down on the floor with your legs extended and together and your elbows set on the floor directly under your shoulders. Lift your torso and thighs off the floor so that your weight is on your elbows and toes. You should create a straight line throughout your torso and thighs. Hold this position for 10 to 60 seconds. For side plank, lay on your side with both legs extended and stacked atop each other with your bottom elbow on the floor under your shoulder. Lift your torso and thighs so your weight is on your elbow and feet and hold that position for 10 to 60 seconds, switching sides on the next set.

Safeguards Your Spine

Front and side planks develop isometric strength in your core muscles, which means that they improve the ability of your muscles to hold a static position over time. Front and side planks challenge your muscles to maintain your body a static position against gravity. This is similar to how they have to work to maintain proper posture when you’re standing or sitting. As a result, consistent front and side planks can help reduce your risk of lower back pain due to poor posture.

Hits Multiple Core Muscles

Although focus tends to falls on the abdominals, there are a number of other muscles in your core essential for maintaining proper posture. Your obliques, glutes, hip flexors and hip abductors also work to keep your spine properly aligned. The front plank primarily strengthens your abdominals, but also develops your obliques and your hip flexors. Not only do the hip flexors play an instrumental role in maintaining proper posture, but they help ensure you’re able to walk, run and jump correctly. During the side plank, the obliques become the primary muscle worked, and your glutes and other hip abductor muscles on the outside of your upper thighs are recruited to keep your leg from collapsing to the floor.

Easy to Change it Up

Planks can be easily modified to reflect your training status. Those who need to work up to doing the traditional versions of the front and side plank can begin by doing the exercise from the knees instead. If you want to increase the difficulty of the exercise, you can do so by placing sandbags on your hips or having a partner press down on your hips. You could also lift one foot off the floor during the front plank or your top leg when performing the side plank.

No Gym Necessary

Because you’re using your own body weight as resistance, you don’t need any exercise equipment to perform either the front and side planks. An exercise mat may be more comfortable, but all you need is a soft floor surface, which means you can do the exercises nearly anywhere. This also means you can easily incorporate them into a home workout program or simply an exercise to do before you go to bed each night to keep your major core muscles strong.

If you've ever done a beachbody program you will notice that there are multiple exercise's that incorporate planks.If your looking to strengthen your core or just all around better your general health I can get you started with a program to fit YOUR specific needs.
