Fitgirl: Insanity The Asylum

I have tackled a couple weeks of The Asylum since I have gotten it.

Speed & Agility:
This work out is approximately 45 minutes in length.  The warm up consists of Jump Rope drills and Ladder drills, and it is about 10 minutes in length, and then we stretch for about 4 minutes prior to the work out.  Keep in mind that the warm up is pretty intense.
After the work out that included the jump rope and ladder drills, there was some stretching and then a 4 minute cooldown.  This is the typical set up of all the DVD work outs.

Strength:
The warm up includes using 1 dumbbell, I used a 12 lbs.  For the work out I used 10 lbs. dumbbell, you could also choose to use an exercise band instead of the dumbbells.  For this work out we also use the chin up bar.
The work out uses a circuit style program, going through the circuit 3 times with adding on to each exercise to make it a little more difficult or complex.  There are a little bit of cardio/plyo drills in this work out.

Back to the Core:
This work out focuses on strengthening your lats, traps, rhomboids, and deltoids.  We use an exercise band.  The warm up uses the band and we do alot of jumping jacks.  This work out is alot less intense than the others, but I really enjoy it, alot of control is required.

Vertical Plyo:
The warm up utilizes the ladder and jump rope.  The work out is alot of jumping and the active recovery is jump rope.

DVD's to come are the Game Day & Overtime.

I am looking forward to getting back into working out regularly & getting out with Ice for a little jogs :-)
