NOT what I was expecting! Hours after showering off the buckets of sweat, I am still trying to decide if I liked it or not. It was tough. Shaun T. himself was nervous at the beginning of the workout. That itself should have been enough of a warning of what was ahead. Friday Fight was a challenge for me. I consider myself to be in good, to slightly-better-than-good physical shape. Cardio was never a strength of mine, I much prefer lifting weights and bodywieght training but I can hold my own. I was expecting a "fighting" workout. Kicking and punching, my favorite way to burn off the calories and some aggression. I instead was left gasping for air, crouched in a puddle of my own DNA on the floor. There were punches and kicks, but mostly there was burpees, pushups, planks and a hell of a lot of jumping around.
Shaun T. describes Friday Fight as the fight between your mind and your body. I am trying to figure out if my mind or my body was the victor. It was indeed one hell of a workout. It was 30 minutes long, as are all the workouts in Max 30. I love that. As hard as it got and as much as I wanted to quit I knew that there were only 30 minutes to get through. I totally got through it and I will tell you that the "after" feels better than the "during". A crap ton of calories sweated out and I feel better for it. It is worth the effort and I am curious how I do the next time Friday Fight rolls around. Notice I didn't say I am looking forward to it???
Overall I give Insanity Max 30: Friday Fight 4 out of 5 water bottles! It was tough and challenging and I said swear words a lot... but challenging is good. If everything was easy, I would get bored too easy.
