I have tried Insanity in the past and made it 30 of the 60-days. Then I got shin splints and had to go to an easier workout. I threw in some Insanity workouts into my 40-day workouts, but not a ton.
There were some moves that involved the arms that I left the arms out. Such as: floor hops, lungs, ski abs, frog jumps, floor kicks(did standing).
My target heart rate is between 110-125 and even with the arms being taken out I managed to stay mostly around 123 bpm. So definitely still go a great workout.
Now the DVD is on the bottom of the pile…thank goodness. Next time I pull out this DVD, if I do these 40 workouts again, then I should be able to blow through the entire 60 minutes! Now off to the shower!
