Insanity: Day 60 – Do it for the Exercise

This is my last Max Interval Sports Training.  For some of you, you may have never had a chance to do this because it is marketed as the Insanity Deluxe version .  Shaun T. comes up with this workout with inspiration from the sport of boxing, football, basketball, gymnastics, and track & field.  You may be thinking this could be great if you want to lose weight and improve in any of these sports, but you’d be completely wrong.  The exercises may resemble a couple of drills you may see professional athletes do, but those are far and few between.  The lesson here is try not to focus on improving your game.  As with all of the Insanity workouts, do it for the exercise.

Boxing has one difficult routine – 8 jabs to 8 Power Jumps.  We all know the Power Jumps are where it really gets you, not the jabs.  But when you’ve been jumping like that, trust me, those jabs get painful and you probably wouldn’t knock a baby out if you connected.

Football has two difficult routines.  The first is a sprint, low plank, push up walk, up, sprint, and back down.  It’s followed by a 30-second low plank, triceps pulse.  Killer arm work here.

Basketball is just wacky.  I need to find or make a clip of this.  Stay tuned.

Gymnastics is tough.  A lot of core work.  Half of it seems like I’m doing Insane Abs.

I’ve already talked about Track & Field here.

Max Interval Sports Training may not make you a professional athlete, but it definitely works you hard.  It manages to work every part of your body while distracting you with strange “sports” techniques.  In the end, there’s a lot of sweat on the floor, which is what we’re all about doing Insanity.

Quote of the Day: “It’s not a game, it is the game.  Get into that.”
