It’s like the biggest buzz kill ain’t it? All your friends are outside yelling and screaming and you are inside getting poked or prodded. Remember when you were a kid and you just came inside from playing in the grass or streets or whatever? Then your mom/grandma called you inside for something lame like trying on some clothes or eating. And just like the other videos I have written about, the *warm-up – stretch* sequence sucks! It sucked in first video, and it still sucks in this video. Like all of the other Insanity workouts, the structure of the workout is the same warm-up, stretch, workout, stretch. Lastly, a lot of the moves in this video consist of exercises that you have already done in previous Insanity workouts that I wrote about. If done properly, however, you are touching 80~95 percent of your max heart rate consistently. If you don’t stop at least once or twice during the video to take a water break, you are not going hard enough. Seriously, after the workout was done, the presenter of these Insanity workouts DVD’s collapsed on the floor in exhaustion! Do not take this lightly, it is very hard. Don’t take this lightly, I am a fitness professional and this workout IS HARD. Pure cardio delivers on what is says it will do….P U R E C A R D I O. My first piece of advice is BEFORE doing this video, make sure you are well hydrated at least 1 hour prior to doing the workout. So 25 minutes is not particularly hard, but definitely something I’m not used too. As a cyclist, my body seems to love any type of cardio work. If you don’t think that is a lot, go try a full blown sprint for more than 15 seconds. In other words, it’s straight up cardio at full blast for about 20 ~ 25 minutes. Unlike any of the other videos I have reviewed, this workout does not have any pre-determined water breaks. This is probably the second best workout I have done thus far in any of the Insanity workouts. I am not a morning person at all, so when I say morning, I mean any time before noon. I normally don’t work out until the afternoon, but I did this Pure Cardio Workout in the morning. Yeah, I didn’t do that and consequently I had a massive headache (about 5% dehydration), but did the workout anyway. And disappoint it did not.įirst of all, I have to tell you I didn’t follow my own advice on How to drink like a world class athlete.
Ok, so after that disappointing last video, I thought Insanity Pure Cardio better be good.
