Enter Insanity Max:30
Shaun T's newest addition will take you out of your comfort zone like it did with Insanity, but instead of sweating your eyes out for 40-60 minutes, he's packed all of that intensity into 30 minutes. As a new mom, finding time to work out isn't easy, but I make the time. So the notion of being able to complete a high intensity workout in only 30 minutes in music to my ears! Another fabulous thing about this program is that it requires NOTHING. That's right, your body is all you need to achieve maximum results. No weights. No pull up bar. Nada!
Now that I've sparked your attention, let's discuss the nitty gritty.
Insanity Max:30 is a 60 day program. It's broken down into two phases, month one and month two. In typical Shaun T workouts, he wants you to keep up momentum and don't stop. For anyone that's completed T25, there are no breaks. The same would be true for this short workout, too. Right? Nope! Shaun T's goal is to get you to MAX OUT! The idea is to go as hard as you can for as long as you can, then, when you need to take a quick break, that's your MAX OUT point. You are encouraged to write down your MAX OUT times and try to beat them as the weeks progress. Even Shaun T said he can't go the entire workout without MAXING OUT. How cool is that?! What a great way to push our endurance and ability to the limits. LOVE!!
While it is a crazy program, it can be done by almost anyone thanks to the modifier. Unlike the modifier in T25, this one can be seen 100% of the time. There is an option to split the screen so you can always have the modifier up. How cool is that?! So even if you haven't exercised since high school, if you are mentally ready for the insanity... it's ready and waiting for you!
On to the fun stuff...what are the workouts like?
Cardio Challenge: crazy cardio with 4.5 minute intervals and 30 seconds to rest
Tabata Power: strength training Tabata-style "20 seconds on, 10 seconds off"
Sweat Intervals: even more ridiculous cardio
Tabata Strength: Tabata-style strength workout with no rest
Friday Right: Round 1: pure craziness. No really... INSANE
Max Out Cardio: gotta love more cardio in month 2! This time with 5.5 minute intervals
Max Out Power: Tabata-style intervals "45 seconds on, 15 seconds off" with lots of plyo
Max Out Sweat: twice the sweat in half the time
Max Out Strength: arms, shoulders, chest, and core "45 seconds on, 15 seconds off"
Friday Fight: Round 2: even harder than Round 1
Pulse: low impact combo of stretching and small "pulsing" movements for active recovery
Ab Attack:10: 10 minute routine
Max Out:15: 15 minutes of insane cardio
Max Out Abs: alternate between seated and standing for 15 minutes of core work
360 Abs: 360-degree attack on the abs and core... on the floor, in plank, and more!
The program is to be completed 5 days a week. No double days, either! So when we say 30 minutes, it's really just 30 minutes!
Pulse is meant to be used as an optional Saturday workout for that active recovery.
There's also a COACH EXCLUSIVE dvd called "Sweat Fest." You can only get this if you order through a coach. It's a fun, sweaty workout if you're looking to mix things up!
Now it's time to talk food!
Shaun T is really encouraging portion control when completing Max30. He discusses how planning your meals will allow you to eat healthy foods more often. Tracking what you consume will help you know what to eat and when, decreasing the chance of giving in to temptations because you're not prepared. Color-coded, portion controlled containers are available in the deluxe kit. These containers will help you reach your goals even faster!

Sounds great, but what's the cost?
Super stoked at how available they made this program!! The challenge pack will typically be $205, however they are reducing it to $180 as an introductory price for the month of December. The Base Kit is $119.85, and the Deluxe Kit is $239.70.
That means, if you purchase the challenge pack, you are getting 30 days worth of meals and a 60 day program for only $180! A month of Shakeology is typically $129, so by purchasing them together you are saving $69!!!
If it still seems like a lot, let's break it down. Say we keep Shakeology at it's regular price and just consider Max30 is on sale. That means you will get 30 nutrient-dense meals for about $4.30 per meal. I don't know about you, but I sure can't make a meal as healthy as Shakeology for that cheap from home! So that leaves us with the new program for about $51. That's 60 days worth of hardcore training by one of the BEST personal trainers in the world for about $0.85 PER DAY! Is your gym membership going to be that inexpensive? Plus, you don't even have to leave your house, fight traffic, hassle with parking... you know the drill!
I WANT IT! Now what?
Fabulous! You can do this program right along with me, and we can keep one another accountable! How would we go about doing this? By joining in one of my amazingly awesome accountability groups! The groups are all done through closed Facebook groups, so only those participating can see what's going on. It's a safe place to share your struggles, fears, triumphs, and goals. No judgment and negative thinking allowed! Each day I will give you tips and tricks with ways to stay on track. Plus, there's lots of motivation to keep pushing yourself to be the healthiest you yet!
So if you're ready to join my accountability group, here is the direct link to purchase the Insanity Max:30 challenge pack.
If you're not ready for the accountability group, let me know, and we can discuss how to keep you on track without the group. My goal as your coach is to provide you with a support system that works best for YOU! If that means joining a group, fabulous! If you're the type that would rather me just check in with you periodically to make sure you're keeping your focus, I'm ok with that, too!
