Insanity, the popular workout program, can help students achieve that goal if they make the time to dedicate consistency and patience to its workout regimen. Insanity came about from fitness trainer Shaun Thompson, better known as Shaun T, in Thompson formed a partnership with Beachbody, a marketing company geared toward selling fitness, to launch his new program. Thompson came from an active background. He did track-and-field at Rowan University where he graduated with a degree in sports science.
Then I started online boot camps, but then I got hit by a boat on a jet ski and that changed the course of things. I almost died, you know? It was crazy. I had to navigate my way back to feeling good, and then I had to focus on recovery—mental and physical. Meditating more, not being afraid to talk to my husband about how I was feeling, and a lot of Talk Space online therapy. I had some great therapy sessions talking on my podcast too. I got the opportunity to create a new workout program and it was kind of a perfect time coming out of this stressful state.
How did you navigate that time? My act of service—even though my kids at the time were only 2 and a half—was to teach my kids about everything going on. If you ask my kids what a pandemic or Black Lives Matter, they know, believe it or not.
I definitely went through it with George, like that really affected me. My husband and I got into an argument. He came from a family who was not racist, but [as a white man] he also never experienced racism. I had to explain that when I go to a store I have to be overly nice, when I go in for a job interview I have to make sure I speak extremely clear because a majority of people have their preconceived notions.
What was interesting is his mom, who is 78 or 79, was the first one concerned about how Silas and Sander would be treated in school because Sander is visibly Black, and even though Silas is half Black too, he looks more like a white child. We just had this crazy family dynamic that opened up a conversation to some intense moments of arguing and trying to reach an understanding.
I say all that to say while a lot of people were vocal on Instagram and this and that, our family had to go through a deep educational lesson to be able to live together through something like that. G: The COVID vaccine, and whether to get it or not is a hot topic of discussion these days and can even be taboo to bring up in certain circles. Where do you stand on the subject? They wanted it.
Our kids are too young to get the vaccine yet, but they still go out to the museums and the zoo and we still take them on road trips. Like a glutton for punishment, the next day I did another cardio class, but I wanted to see how it was different from the first class since it added in more resistance. We did a lot of lunges , jumping, running in place, high knees , and more cardio bursts in place.
Thankfully, we had a brief rest period to stretch about halfway through. He had us do a pushup in downward dog , which I had never done before. This basically ruined down dog for me, a pose I usually look forward to as a resting position in yoga.
We also did pushups in a squat position , which felt really weird, but really good. My arms were burning halfway through the workout.
The running mountain climbers just about killed my arms! There was a nice, long four-minute stretch at the end, for which I was grateful. I grunted my way through the workouts, but felt like a rock star afterward! The program offers a well-rounded, full-body workout involving both cardio and strength training. All of the major muscle groups — abs , chest, glutes, legs, arms — are worked for an intense, yet satisfying routine.
With pre-planned workouts to follow every day at your own time, the Insanity program meets the needs of people working from home without access to the gym. And the intensity of the workout is definitely appealing to people who want to up their level of fitness from the comfort of home.
