Insanity: Max 30 Journey Day 45 - Max Out Sweat

During the course of two months, I'd like to take you into my journey as I strive to retain a healthy lifestyle through a healthy balanced nutrition program and Beachbody trainer extraordinaire -- and Men's Health cover man -- Shaun T's brand new workout regimen Insanity Max 30.

Day 45: Max Out Sweat

I still really hate this workout.

Yes, I'm getting better and deeper into the workout, but there is just something about it that I absolutely despise and can not wait for it to go away. (In a week, I won't have to worry about it for a while, thankfully.)

My journey on Wednesday took me back to the dreaded Max Out Sweat routine where the Shaun T-proclaimed "hardest workout I ever taught" routine. Despite knowing exactly what's coming, it still seems to catch you off guard.

For me, it's all about the sequence of moves (I'm sure you have realized this by now) and when you jumble together three hard moves -- most going plyo/squat/lunge type move to a plank jump move and another leg burner move -- and cycle through those moves three times, it's a challenge to say the least.

Then when you think you have the workout beat, because you survived the first four-and-a-half-minute sequence, he throws a ton of plank moves so your shoulders are on fire. Where does it end?!?!

All I know, for me, and maybe you are different, but this is the longest 30 minutes of my life (Friday Fight: Round 2 is pretty close). My Max Out Time, however, is improving quite a bit on this one. I am up to 18 minutes and 27 seconds before falling to bits. My Weep Time, however, only hit 21:20. Not that great.

I think I blacked out for the last 10 or so minutes and don't remember much of what happened. I do know I finished and felt like I had an outer-body experience during the cool down. I'm so glad it is over with and I just have one more of those. Before then, I have to focus on the task at hand. Next up: Max Out Strength.
