Tips About Starting The Insanity Workout

By Rudy Courture


Prepare for the insanity workout, or any for that matter, by scheduling a physical with a doctor to gauge the body's ability to handle a serious workout routine. It might also be helpful to visit a physical trainer at this point. Doing so may provide several extra tips not found here. They may also provide a free consultation in order to gauge your body mass index.

Exercise at a slow and steady pace. No more than thirty or forty minutes a day, alternating days on and off. When the body gets used to the routine a little bit more, the time can be increased gradually. It is crucial to give the body time to rebuild in between days. This will help tone and build muscle mass.

Keep a record of the exercises done and how many repetitions were done. Make notes of what you ate and how it made you feel during the routine. If you can see where to improve on any sets then do so. The journal helps gauge progress and maintains motivation.

Maintain regular workout sessions and try to keep them at the same times to avoid schedule problems. If necessary try to bring a loved one with you. This will pass the times faster and make it seem less intense. Having someone to support you could be key if not self motivated.

Set goals and reward yourself when reaching these goals. A piece of cake will not ruin your efforts in the slightest, do not be afraid to indulge yourself if you hit a desired goal. Buy some new workout clothes or an accessory. Something nice related to your exercise routine is always enjoyable.

Prepare yourself well for any routine. Pack your bags in advance. Make sure any diet regulations are followed the night before a workout, making sure to take in plenty of hydration in advance. Cells store water in a layer around themselves, retaining water for the body to use later. In this case during the workout.

Do not eat too soon before a workout. Allow the body three or four hours to digest. Consume easily digestible foods high in carbs and glucose. Fruit or maybe some pasta fit into this category. Eating too soon before exercising will most likely result in nausea and discontinuation of the day's workout. Energy drinks and other drinks high in caffeine may or may not positively affect the workout and their use should be determined by the athlete. If a routine is scheduled for early in the morning, try to prepare by waking up early, if this is not possible, eat something like a bagel or some sort of light bread as soon after waking as possible.

Post exercise diet is just as important. Try to replace lost fluids immediately after a workout. A twenty to twenty four ounce sports drink should be plenty. Research shows that eating fifteen to twenty minutes after working out helps restore and maintain proper glycogen levels which are essential to long term training. Proteins are the key to recovery. Be sure and find a proper balance of proteins and carbohydrates to consume after exercising. While eating is best, there are several drinks available that have the proper ratios included and this convenience can help meet the thirty minute window.
