This is for anyone who is crazy enough to do this in their workout. I've done Insanity, P90X and P90X2. From doing these programs I've seen different ways to intensify all of them that the average person or just even the average athlete might consider as extreme. Here's what I do:-
Insanity- In every jumping routine use a med ball. I started using an 8 lb ball and now I use a 12 lb ball.
- while doing push ups use push up bars and a chair and raise a leg. I'm working my way up into doing all these modifications in all pushups except power push ups and balance pushups. When you get good enough with push up bars swap them for medicine balls.
- use a med ball and ankle weights in ab routines.
You may be saying to yourself why would anyone want to do this during insanity. The workout on its own has you drenched. While this is true, the other truth here is that you can always improve in what you do. While I do make extreme modifications to my workouts I don't apply them in the warmups because I believe the warm up is get your body ready not to pound it, especially when your body isn't warm.
P90X and P90X2- use a med ball and ankle weights in ab ripper X and X2.
-Add med ball to jumping routines in plyometric workouts.
-In routines that use chairs get a taller chair or get a bunch of stackable chairs and place them on top of each other.
Hopefully Tony Horton and Shaun T won't have problems with my modifications. So if you're a beginner at these or any other programs from Beachbody I'd recommend you don't do them unless you have the fitness level to match doin
