Drum roll, please! You’re finally here – at the last workout in the 60-day Insanity challenge. Max Cardio Conditioning is the name of this last chapter, and it will undoubtedly remind you what makes Insanity the most revered, respected workout program the industry has seen in a while!

MAX Cardio Conditioning Workout Review and Walk-through

Max Cardio Conditioning is a 48-minute, intense cardio workout with absolutely no water breaks during the main workout – in fact, no breaks at all. Of course, you can break if you absolutely have to, but you can also look out for the section in the middle when Shaun T lowers the intensity just a bit so you can recover.

Your Max Cardio Conditioning warm up will last about 9 minutes, consisting of a total of three sets. The first two are four minutes each, and the last set is just over a minute, so imagine how hard you need to go to complete the exercises in set three! You’ll have the usual jogs, jumping jacks, switch kicks, sprints and Heisman moves throughout the sets, with the first two sets having identical routines and the third having a slight variation. When you’re done, take your 30-second water break, because it’s the last one you’ll be seeing in a while!

Expect to go nonstop during the main workout of Max Cardio Conditioning. For 30 minutes, you’ll literally feel the burn in every move you do – you’ll wonder the heck you’re putting yourself through so much torture! But it will be worth it in the end. The jabs, squats, football runs, kicks, planks and push up jacks will all pay off when you finally get to the end of the Insanity road.

What you can look forward to right in the middle of the main workout are the ‘recovery exercises.’ These are performed at a slightly lower pace, allowing you to recover a bit before hitting the home stretch with higher intensity.

If you’ve made it this far, you may as well finish. Your last water break in Max Cardio Conditioning will be followed by a full stretching routine that lasts for 4 minutes. Make sure you do those stretches to the fullest, because they’ll make the difference between sore useless muscles in a couple of days, and muscles that will actually have some use to you after!
