Water Break-You’ve got about 6 minutes left in this thing Section IV Hey, be happy you don’t have to do any boring crunches Holy hell I can’t do these, I mean I try but they’re pathetic, my lower back does not want to stay pressed into the ground and my neck locks up, it’s ugly Keep your heels off the ground if you can The rest of the core moves are done on your backside. Here’s that move I told you about in the beginning, low pike is on your elbows so you’ll want a mat if you’re on a hard surface This is a pike up and back and then get on your belly to do a superman, keep your legs strong for the pike up The rest this time is either c-sit or child’s pose position. Remember that each move is about 45 seconds long and then you get a little rest. At this point you’ll just be so happy that you don’t have to do another push-up that you won’t care what comes next. Now you have permission to get on your knees…if you’re like me you’ll start to get frustrated at this point because your arms are barely functioning, just keep giving 100% and tell yourself you’re a badass (because you are)Ĥ-COUNT UP & DOWN PUSH-UPS (on your knees) This is a tricep push-up, yep, that’s harder than a regular push-up Shaun T uses this moment to highlight some form pointers with a lot of touching on Mike Notice that you do a wide push-up when your arms are wide and then you do a tricep push-up when you pop your feet back together Your next water break is at the 17-minute mark. This time you’ll do a child’s pose (aaahhhh…) during the 15-second rest. ( Wash your hair tonight because you might not be able to raise your arms tomorrow.)

I challenge you to smile while you’re holding this Poor Danielle (remember she’s doing the modified moves)…Shaun T goes over and shoves down on her thighs during this exercise but she’s incredible and stays on her feet and down in that squat Yes, your legs are on fire and threatening to crumple under you, you’re not alone, keep going Remember this part is all about your legs and glutes and that you’ll be doing every exercise for 45 seconds followed by a 15-second rest.Īttention-You won’t be checking your email during the rest-you’ll be jogging and catching your breath until the next exercise starts. Water Break (you’re 4 minutes into the workout…get ready to push yourself) Main Workout (The Exercises in Max Out Power) MUMMY KICKS (*flashback to original Insanity*) You’ll do each exercise (in the warm-up) for 30 seconds.

Do what she’s doing if you’re too pooped to do the full move at any point during the workout. Try and get as many reps as possible up on your toes.ĭanielle (neon sports bra with tiny black shorts) is the modifier. *Pro Tip* The push-up section is really tough but the only way to see gains is to commit to pushing yourself hard here. In the main workout you’ll do each exercise for about 45 seconds and then get a 15 second rest. Max Out Power is primarily cardio but incorporates sculpting which is why I’ve put it in the Cardio+ category. The first section focuses on lower body, the second section has your push-up combos, section 3 is core work, and the last section is classic Max:30 cardio (think burpees) with some more leg-focused combos.
Your elbows and back will thank you for a mat if you’re on tile or hardwood.Īfter the warm-up there are 4 sections in Max Out Power. Shaun T says you won’t need any equipment for this workout but the ab portion has some exercises on your back and you have to go down in low plank for one move.
*You may want to have a mat close by if you’re doing Max Out Power on a hard floor.
