Insanity Max 30: Week 1 Review

Originally I was on week 3 on this program the week of Christmas. I knew the two week span that I was away from my regular routine would be tough, but I really had no idea just how tough. My nutrition wasn't the best these weeks and I missed more workouts than I would have liked to. So when I returned home I made the decision to restart Insanity Max 30 from the beginning.

Shaun T is an amazing trainer. I have done his Rockin Body and Hip Hop Abs programs, as well as part of T25. He always delivers. What is awesome about Max 30 is that he uses the color coded containers in his meal plan that were introduced with the 21 day fix program. So I know if I follow the workout schedule and the meal plan I will see results.

Here is a recap of week 1, take 2:

Monday was Cardio Challenge. You would think after doing this workout 3 times already it would be easier, but it isn't. Shaun T always makes you push yourself. Although I felt sluggish during this workout due to all the sugar in my system from all those cookies I was loving the sweat afterwards!

 

Tuesday was Tabata Power. This means 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off. I know what you are thinking. That can't be bad at all right? But you would be wrong. Those 20 seconds do not go fast by any means!

 

 

With all the cold weather and wind chill advisories it was a soup and salad kind of week for dinner. Did you know that you can actually make your favorite soups clean?! This week I had both wedding soup and potato soup. Yummy!!!

 



Wednesday was sweat intervals. That is probably my favorite workout in month one. I feel on cloud 9 at the end of the 30 minutes! I drink my shakeology everyday. Yep that is right. Everyday. I love it and can't get enough of it. On this chilly day it was Oreo!! Sounds too good to be true right? But it's not!

 

By Thursday I was back to my routine with waking up at 6:00 AM. Thank goodness!!! I am that kind of person that needs to be in a routine. During today's tabata power I increased my maxout time by 3 minutes. Woot woot!! That's what I call progress.

 

 



 

 

I skipped Friday Fight on Friday because I knew I was going to have the opportunity to do a live workout with Autumn Calabrese, creator of the 21 day fix at our Beachbody event. But not to worry Friday Fight went down on Saturday and it was a toughy! Working out is better with a friend!

 

Despite being away for the weekend my nutrition was almost spot on during week 1. I had my cheat meal for dinner on Saturday while out with team Live Life Fit. I stuck to a grilled chicken sandwich and a side salad. Here is a look into my meal plan for week 2!
