INSANITY the Asylum Game Day Review

THE GAME IS ON! On your Mark – Get SET – GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I’m telling you right now, INSANITY the Asylum Game Day Review is not for everyone, but DANG is it motivating. I’ve done many programs before, including the popular P90X and INSANITY. But never, EVER have I been so motivated! Shaun T (Asylum Trainer, and the dude pictured above) does this one right! From the moment you pop in the Game Day DVD, you feel like you’re entering a big game. And don’t worry, you’ll be at a lot of different sporting events. World Series? Check. Super Bowl? Check. Olympics? Check. Random things like Surfing? You got it. CHECK. INSANITY the Asylum Game Day Review –...

INSANITY the Asylum Relief Review

Today during the INSANITY the Asylum Relief Review, I’m going to talk about stretching. Don’t forget to check out my other INSANITY Asylum Reviews. But for today, it’s all about the thing we sometimes neglect. We shouldn’t. But we do. Let’s be honest! So many people skip the stretching. Whether it’s your relief day, or it’s a warm-up or cool-down. I was once one of those who avoided the relief and stretches at all costs. Just a waste of time was my mindset. Or, “eh, it’s just relief, yoga, stretching, I can skip today”. BOY was I wrong. Why? Because it focuses on foundation. Especially Yoga. When it comes down to the core, we often think about abs...

INSANITY the Asylum Back to Core Review...

I still remember my first day that I put the DVD in for Back to Core. I thought to myself: “Oh boy, here we go, my abs are about to HURT!” I was wrong. But, what are we really working out here then? Well, in my INSANITY the Asylum Back to Core Review, I’ll let you know! As you will quickly find out if you plan to do, or are doing, the Asylum, it’s about body control. Another thing you’ll learn is that the back is your foundation for strength. I did so many strange moves in the Back to Core workout that I never saw before. But what was AMAZING is that my back felt 1000x greater...

INSANITY Asylum Strength Review

Yo everyone! My INSANITY Asylum Strength Review comes with many smiles! If you’ve ever done INSANITY before, you’ll quickly realize that there is no weight lifting. Well, in the Asylum, that concept is crushed with the STRENGTH Workout. I really love this workout, it’s the best of P90X Shoulders & Arms and INSANITY Cardio series. As Shaun T. mentions at the beginning of this workout, “a good athlete knows the importance of cross-training.” Today is the cross-training day, folks! Before you start INSANITY Asylum Strength workout, you need a few tools. These tools include: Dummbells or Resistance Bands (the cool thing about INSANITY Asylum is you can choose which workout to do from the menu screen. Either do...

INSANITY the Asylum Vertical Plyo Review...

Vertical Plyo is the hardest workout I have ever done. I was ready to throw the DVDs across the room when I was done! Hello my friends, Iâ€™m excited to bring you this review on INSANITY the Asylum Vertical Plyo. Now that Iâ€™m officially halfway through the Asylum program, I can say this is the HARDEST program of the series. In fact, the first two times I did it I got so frustrated I said ENOUGH of this Vertical Plyo shenanigans! I literally got MAD at this particular workout. This workout will test you physically and mentally. I must repeat that this workout isnâ€™t for the timid. If you havenâ€™t worked out in a long time, or you...

INSANITY the Asylum Speed and Agility Review...

I have always been “the weak guy”, in my opinion of course. All throughout most of high school, all of college, and a few years of my young adulthood, I wasn’t physically active. I was never “morbidly obese”, but there were days I sure felt like it! I started P90X in 2010 (more on that can be see by visiting “My Story“). But today, I do INSANITY the Asylum Speed and Agility. It is Day 15 and I am getting my butt beat with this workout! With my past struggles in physical activity, the learning curve on this program is much steeper. That doesn’t mean I’m not bringing it my all! If you are interested in doing the...
