Week 0 Day 1

Welcome, everyone! You’re on your way to INSANE results in just 30 minutes a day.

Throughout our fitness journey I’ll be posting nutrition and workout tips, success stories and inspirational thoughts, quotes, recipes, and more. This group is also a place for you guys to ask questions, get answers, and connect with each other for the next 60 days. This will be a journey, but the best part is that we’re all in it together!

Now open your INSANITY MAX:30 program and review these materials:

  • MAX OUT Guide: provides workout descriptions and guidance on how to succeed using the program.
  • Nutrition to the MAX: An easy-to-follow meal plan that shows you how to eat what you love and lose weight.
  • No Time to Cook Guide: A guide to choosing the healthiest restaurant, fast food, or frozen meal options when you’re on-the-go.

Week 0 Day 2

Let’s introduce ourselves! We’re all in this challenge together and it’s important for us to get to know each other, support each other, and keep each other accountable throughout our fitness journey.

You don’t need to write a novel—just copy and paste these questions in the comment section with your answers!

  1. Where do you live?
  2. What’s your occupation?
  3. Which Shakeology flavor are you drinking?
  4. Which part of your body would you like to work on the most?
  5. Why did you choose INSANITY MAX:30?

Week 0 Day 3

Choose your daily workout schedule and block off those times on your calendar so nothing else can get in your way. It’s going to be hard, but it’s only 30 minutes. No excuses!

Remember there are two different calendars that you can follow—the MAX OUT Calendar and the Ab Maximizer Calendar. With the Ab Maximizer Calendar, you will complete additional Ab workouts so that you can get ridiculous abs—just like Shaun T. You can also use Ab Attack:10 to complete the program.

Which calendar will you be using?

Week 0 Day 4

Look what you can achieve when you push yourself to the MAX for 60 days! Joe C. lost 25 lbs. and is in the best shape of his life!†

Week 0 Day 5

Are you all ready to MAX OUT soon?

Be sure to watch this video of Shaun T explaining how to MAX OUT. It’s really important: https://youtu.be/tK70M8GGjgU

The first week, you may not be able to get through the first few minutes without Maxing Out—and that’s totally OK. The goal is to compete with yourself every single day to increase your MAX OUT time as you go through the program.

If you can increase your time by 30 seconds each day, you will be able to complete the entire program by the end, and trust me—that’s a big accomplishment!

Be sure to keep your calendar handy to record your MAX OUT time. That way you can hold yourself accountable and track your progress.

Also remember that you can always follow the low-impact modifier at any time.

Week 0 Day 6

Some of you may have already done this, but if you haven’t, log in to Beachbody On Demand, where you’ll be able to instantly access INSANITY MAX:30’s workouts, nutrition guide, and support documents!

Week 0 Day 7

1-2-3…smile! Take your “before” photos and measurements today so that, as your body transforms, you can measure your changes against where you began. I know not everyone likes to document things about themselves they wish to change—but trust me, do it now and you’ll be thankful later.

As an extra incentive, if you keep track of your photos, weight, and measurements, when you finish the program you can enter the Beachbody Challenge by visiting BeachbodyChallenge.com. When you enter and submit your results, you will also receive a free gift (while supplies last) to celebrate your success. So keep track of everything! You’ll be amazed by your results in the end!

image

Week 1 Day 1

Be sure to write down your MAX OUT time. Think of each workout as a Fit Test to monitor your progress each week.

Take a look at Shaun T’s message for you for Week 1: https://youtu.be/_ZfLcX7xL-c

Week 1 Day 2

You gotta eat clean if you want to achieve your goals. Clear the cupboards, pantry, and fridge of all unhealthy foods. If it’s not aligned with your goals, toss it—or better yet, give it to your local food bank. Now is the time to go shopping for foods that will help you MAX OUT your nutrition!

image

Week 1 Day 3

Be sure to follow Shaun T’s instructions on how to maintain proper form during the workouts to avoid injury.

Remember, even Shaun T will Max Out during these workouts. If you find yourself struggling, you can watch the low-impact modifier in full screen during the workout (just select “Modifier” on the main menu screen). Trust me, following the modifier is no walk in the park—you will still get a great workout and see MAX results.

image

Week 1 Day 4

Have fun with your INSANITY MAX:30 Calendar and write down your MAX OUT time each day as you go through the program. Seeing your improvement will motivate you—and others—to push to your personal MAX during each workout!

Have you been reading your Nutrition to the MAX Guide and No Time to Cook Guide?

Week 2 Day 2

How was your first weekend following the Nutrition to the MAX guide? Did you stay on track? Remember if you’re going out with friends, you can always use the No Time to Cook Guide to order healthy and delicious meals.

Also, try and keep this in mind next time you’re grocery shopping or looking for something to eat:

Eat Less CRAP:
Carbonated drinks
Refined sugar
Artificial sweeteners and sugars
Processed foods

Eat More FOOD:
Fruits and veggies
Organic lean proteins
Omega-3 fatty acids
Drink water

image

Week 2 Day 3

There are a lot of push-ups during these workouts! Always remember that it’s okay to do a modified version. What’s most important is maintaining proper form.

Here are 3 tips on how to do the perfect push-up (sometimes it helps to practice in front of a mirror to make sure you’re properly aligned):

  1. Get into plank position and make sure your hands are positioned slightly wider than your shoulders. Tighten your core.
  2. Lower your body until your chest almost touches the floor, tucking your elbows in as you do. When you’re at the bottom, your arms should be at a 45-degree angle.
  3. Keep your back flat and do not let your back or hips sag. If you can’t do a push-up on your toes yet, don’t give up! Do them on your knees with your toes pointed up and you’ll still get a great workout.

Week 2 Day 4

You guys are killing it! I am so impressed with you. I know it’s hard but every workout you do and every time you monitor your nutrition and portions, you’re getting closer to achieving your MAX results!

Week 2 Day 5

Today is your second round of Friday Fight: Round 1. I know this workout is NOT easy! A big part of INSANITY MAX:30 is the mental challenge of pushing past your MAX Out time each day and not quitting.

Week 2 Day 7

Today is your rest day, so don’t work out hard and let your muscles recover! Try and do some stretching or go outside and get some fresh air. You can even take your Shakeology with you! Here is a delicious Shakeology recipe to enjoy today:

Greek Strawberry-Banana
1 serving Strawberry Shakeology
1 cup water
½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
½ medium banana, cut into chunks

For the best taste experience, use a blender and add ice. The more ice, the thicker it gets. Feel free to use any kind of milk or milk substitute (almond, rice, or coconut milk)—the more milk, the creamier it gets! Enjoy!

Hydration, hydration, hydration! Water helps curb hunger. Shaun T suggests drinking half your body weight in ounces of water each day. Not only will water keep you hydrated and quench your thirst, it will help you feel full.

image

Week 4 Day 3

I know it’s tempting to jump right from your 30-minute workout back into your busy life, but it’s important to cool down properly. Be sure to take the extra couple of minutes to cool down with Shaun T and the cast after the workout.
