INSANITY Max 30: Ab Attack

AND I’M BACK! I apologize for the delay in posts - my daughter and I have been sick with strep/flu/sinus infections. Yes, all three - for a week.

ANYWAYS, I decided to review INSANITY Max 30: Ab Attack since it was not AS demanding as the alternatives! :)

You can find my commentary video immediately following this workout here.

Total Time: 10 minutes Equipment: none (unless you want a mat)

You get right into this - so be ready - and be sitting in the C-sit position. AND YOU NEVER STAND UP during this workout. ;)

Floor Tuck Jumps - in the C-sit position, you bring your knees up and tap them with your hands and tap your heels back down. Repeat.

I won’t lie - I was about done after the first minute. Bahahahha.

Low Plank Side Punch - in the plank position, you punch left and right (while looking at your hand that is punching).

I love when Shaun T says you’re about done - then he says, ’I lied - you still got 15 seconds to go.’

I chuckled. HA YOU ARE SO FUNNY.

Knee Punch Extensions - start in the C-sit position, and then lay on the floor but keep the heels off the ground and extend your arms overhead. Repeat.

Shaun T thinks her ‘abs feel good’:

I think mine feel like this is horrible and sitting up the last time was like a balancing act.

Reciprocating Knee - in the plank position, alternate tapping your knees down.

Okay, okay, I got this.

Switch Kick Abs - on your back, kick heel straight up and punch the alternating arm - repeat the other side.

Okay, okay, these still suck.

One of my favorite quotes:

'I don’t care what kind of abs you got - FAT abs, TIGHT abs, maybe your abs aren’t even there yet….I’ll accept any time of abs that come into my gym’.

Plank Toe Taps - in the high plank position, you tap the opposite toe with your hand and then alternate.

Don’t. Fall. Over.

Ab Sprint - UGH! In the C-sit position, you alterate bringing your knees in (do not touch the ground) and 'sprinting’ your arms while keeping a 90 degree angle in your elbow.

Poor Darren:

Poor me. YOU GOT THIS.

Tricep Push-Up Extension - do a tricep pushup and then lay on your belly and extend your arms up and heels up. Repeat.

'Up Down Extend’.

And we’re flying!

Floor Ab Attack - in the C-sit position, keep your heels off the ground and extend the arms straight out with open hands.

Cynthia is crazy fast:

Drum 'V’ - oh yeah, this is where he loses everyone including myself. RIGHT AFTER THE LAST MOVE, straighten your legs out and shape your body into a 'v’ - drum (punch) on your abs.

THEN YOU ARE DONE. Like everyone else, I was flat on the ground:

There is not a cool down, but you get a reminder:

Thanks Shaun T.

My Final Thoughts:

Shaun T is right, 'sometimes Sarah likes to get out of control. But I’m gonna put her in control.' She is a bit nuts - but props to her! She must have drank a Red Bull before shooting this workout.

Here is your usual modifier (if not Scott):

Garmin Connect indicates that I burned around 86 calories - which is not really important because I was below my zone 1 almost the entire time. This is a core workout - not a high heart rate workout.
