Insanity Max: 30

Insanity Max: 30 Review














Insanity Max: 30 is a 60 day fitness program created by Shaun T, for two months with different sets of workouts, each lasting for 30 minutes (cool down is not included in the 30 minutes).
Things about insanity max 30:
- 30 Minutes a day for 5 day in a week, so you have no excuse about not having enough time in a day to do this program.
- There are new and interesting moves, that makes sure you body is never bored or gets used to the same routine.
- you physical fitness and endurance level will improve dramatically
- You don't need any equipment at all except your self. The only weight you will be lifting is yours.However the muscle definition is great.
There are modification for each move, which can help you to work at your own pace until you progress to advanced moves by the end of the 60 days.
My goal:
 I have previously one insanity max 30 and I was able to maintain my weight without following the diet and having cheat days. But now I want to restart it again.
I want would like to complete the full program this time and actually see results again. So I hope it works as well.

July Challenge

So guys this coming week in July I'm starting a challenge for myself and anyone crazy enough can join. This is a combination of Military Diet+ 5 K run for 4 days and 2 strength training days.
personally, I feel like this diet will stretch me to the limit but I'm tired of making excuses.
Here is the military diet below and the diet can be substituted to a 1500 meal plan to avoid fatigue.
so guys be fabulous and lets get fit

Meal Ideas

These are tips about meals, food preparation to help you lose weight and get you into a patter eating style
1)EAT BREAKFAST- no matter how small an apple,cereal bar eat something healthy to fuel your day. For me when I started losing weight I used to Eat Oatmeal everyday with no milk or sugar.It wasn't nice but It gave me the gradual release of energy that I required for the day and I found that I was less hungry during break time in school so less calorie intake for the day.
Other options can be muesli,Granola, weetabix, fresh fruit, low-fat yoghurt, Try anything full of fibre or natural sugar source.
However if you looking for carbs or protein loaded breakfast their are more quick options such as
Omelette which are high in protein and you can experiment with different vegetables or lean meat.
Another option can be smoothies or protein shakes. My favourite is cookie cream whey protein from myprotein and the link is http://www.myprotein.com/sports-nutrition/impact-whey-protein/10530943.html . The have more option from Toffee,to Cinnamon Danish and Banofee. I'm telling you this is protein shakes to another level.


















So smoothies and shakes are the quickest alternative, just add you favourite fruits and your done.
2) Post workout Snacks
I never worried about snacks, I usually buy carrot sticks,apples, oranges, mixed veg and Rice cakes; Yes rice cake taste like nothing but it feels me up when I feel like not bringing a heavy snack or lunch in school. Also you can have you smoothies, protein shakes, shakeology but I have never used shakeology in my life.


3) Never a workout or finish a workout without water
This is not really a meal plan advice but I know when I do morning workout the only thing that is preventing me from dying is water. I usually have 0.5-1 litres near me.
Also ,I know you've heard this before, don't drink fizzy drinks whether the are diet or not. Fizzy drinks are a no no. If you want alternative you can drink coffee or in the summer make you own cold coffee recipe if you need help just email me. You can drink flavoured water(NOT THE FIZZY TYPE), Iced tea or natures best drink pure water.

4) DO NOT EAT PRE-MADE,PROCESSED,FROZEN, MEALS



Don't eat it, it not worth it!!!!!






Yes, the are low in calories,yes some are low in salt and fat. But if you can't read,pronounce or recognise almost all of  the ingredients, then their is a chance its highly processed and these are the food which are unhealthy for your body.
If it hard start cooking, you can make an easy meal with under £5 and still stay healthy.(if you need my £5 shopping meal list just comment or email as I will be posting it in~1-2 months time).
Trust me I have tried ready made meals, the don't taste as nice as the one I cook with a low budget, so personally its not worth the death of my taste buds and calories).

5) Do a meal prep
Sorry but personally I can't do a meal prep, I would prefer my vegetables fresh, my rice well cooked and fluffy, my chicken just out of the oven.
Many people I have seen in Instagram, YouTube the enjoy preparing the meal as its less stress. Personally  I enjoy cooking my meals and its less stress for me to think ahead.

6) Don't remove starchy foods from your diet
Starchy meals should be 1/3 of what eat. Starchy foods includes potatoes, cereals, pasta, rice and bread. Choose wholegrain varieties (or eat potatoes with their skins on) .
so be fabulous, be brave , be fit

21 Day Fix Review

21 Day fix workout











The Workout schedule:




















Here are the container measurement if your unsure about the amount of food you get to eat:
So the rule is if it fits into the container you can eat it.
if it doesn't don't eat it.









II feel that this workout is similar to Jillian michaels 30 day shred in the fitness level, with the different circuit interval.However the idea of the container akes it easy to monitor the food you are eating.So basically a perfect chance for me to binge out on vegetables and fruit. But one of the problems I had was after 2 weeks of the workout the became easy and I burnt less and less calories throughout the week. So I stopped doing the workout so I can progress to a harder workout. The thing  about this workout is that it will be hard to if your fitness level is low, but if you are advanced I will not recommend doing this program.
My favorite workout was Total body cardio fix which was mainly cardio with stength and abs and for me this kind of training is always the best for me.
Lower fix was less intense than any other workout and the calorie burn was very low compared to the other workouts. The upper fix workout was moderate intensity with weights and if your not a strength person don't worry you can make it through. The workouts also have around10-20 seconds break after each mintue workout which is good because you use all your strength and power for 1 mins and then you recover for about 10-20 secs.
Their is no meal plan and the containers are easy to follow.
But I didn't have the containers so I used the measurement scale in the picture about.

Overall I didn't lose any weight but I maintained my 56Kg weight at that tome.But if your advance fitness and looking for more extreme results this is not the workout for you. However if you feel your not as fit,short 30 minutes workout, lose around 20lbs and slight tone up. Then this workout is perfect for you and any beginners.

So be fabulous,be brave, be fit

Ok, my weightloss was a change of over 80 kg to under 50 kg. But due to different occassions and loss of motivation which I will explain in "about me" later on I gained back some of my weight.
I know many will state it the yo-yo effect but people should know you can never maintain one constant weight for ever and some where down the road you will gain back 5,10,15 lbs and still loss thw weight later on. So basically I'm not perfect and sometimes I need me some Mcflurry, Quarter pounder, Dominos Pizza or  my good brothers Ben and Jerry Icecream (but guys not at the same time, everything in moderation). But This Side of the blog is for anyone who will be joining my challenge and wants to post their before and after.

Like my main motivator:

About me,
So I'm a student when I was in secondary school when I started losing weight, I weighed more than 80 kg at age of 14. The weight gain caused a lot of health problems for me, constant chest infection, I had asthma and breathing problems, Knee pains and the list goes on. so one day in the summer holidays I decided to start sheding the pounds. I started reducing my diet to around 800 calories per day, I walked to and back from school everyday for 5 months to burn extra calories.  My first workout was Jillian Michael 30 Day shred, this workout moved me from couch potato to fitness. First month of the doing the program I lost 22 pounds. I was so motivated to continue despite the amount of pain I felt everyday going to sleep and waking up but that never stoped me. After 30 day shred I moved into Ripped in 30 and after that I did her Body revolution workout. Basically jillian michael saved me from totally ruining myself. From her video I gain confidence to workout more and be active, so I started taking part in school sport.
I remember everyday I came back from school late cause I did after school sport. You can name it and I did it. Starting from Basketball, Football, Rugby, Rounders, Volleyball, Dudge Ball, Netball, Badminton, Zumba, Dance, Cross country, Running,cheerleading. Sports that was available I did it.In half a year I went from over 80 kg to 55 kg. Yes the method I used was harsh but I actually didnt know what I was doing. My main goal was to exercise 6 days a week and eat between 800-12,00 calories and it worked.
Then afterwards I developed a great interest for strengthtraing, Zumba and Running, So I participated in cross country race for my age and I moved on to the next competition stage. I started doing Zumba from Youtube at home and with an older Zumba DVD and I Subcribed to ZWOW#. If you haven't tried her workout you haven't lived. My favourite was ZWOW 49 365 reps workout for the amount of days in the week. ZWOW was one of the best trainers and motivators I had and I still keep up with her recent videos.
So basically ZWOW and Jillian Michael Kicked my ass.
However, I continued like this for the next half a year and by the end I was weighing 47.8kg.
I started feeling contantly cold, I developed symptoms of Hayfever and My parent decided I should meet with a nutritionist to help me gain back nutrites that I am lacking.
So I was told if I continued that I could cause serious dangers to my body but I actually didn't know my main gaol was lose weight and stop you contant admission to A and E. So I took matters into my own hand.


*to be continued this is just the beginning

P90X3 Review

So what is this all about?

The first time I saw P90X3 I weirdly I wasn't scared, I wanted to go for it. When I watched the informercials I was so excited to try a workout which was just 30 mins long and I can get it done in the morning before leaving.
But things didn't turn out the were mean't to be.
I did the Doubles calender, which I found was more cardio based than any of the other calender. I paid so much attention on my diet and I did see muscle definition growing after 2 weeks of the programs. (yay right) No! After this results I found my self to glued to my diet and lost focus of everything. I made sure I eat this amount of fat,carbs, protein, seriously I was going crazy. So I decided to take it slow by doing a less strict exercise plan so I choose the classic schedule and I was so happy and motivated, then I lost hope again. But the weird thing was I was putting on enough muscle. I weighted 5kg  more than 50 days ago when I started given that I used 30 Kg weights in the workouts. Trust me my arms were dead,  but because I didnt take any measurements I thought I was gaining fat. So basically I quit the plan and I was motivated to do my own meal plan and that enabled me to maintain my weight throughout 2014 christmas despite the fact I enjoyed the chocolate and pudding. At the end I built enough muscles but I decided to stop and try another workout after completing 60 days.

CVX- cvx  is basically 30 minutes exercise with weight . I founf that this was one of the hardest workouts and given I used the heavier weights it was horrible, so start of light.
Warrior- was a blast of circuit training basically go to your warror extreme
Total synegistic- Mixture of abs, strength and few cardio moves, I felt it was easy was it was one of the first workout you do and you don't to get discouraged at an early time in the program.
challenge- was a beast it is basically push ups and pull ups for 30 minutes but aas you advance it becomes easier to ignore the pain and you tend to do more. Don't worry if you don't have a chin up bar, I had a 30lbs resistance band which I used over my curtain stand and I worked for me.
Acelerator and Agility- if you love cardio or short periods of cardio outburst you will love these workouts and the calorie burn is unbelievable.
Triometric- I didnt enjoy this workout because I had the lowest calorie burn, the cardio intervals were not as much as I wanted so somedays I missed it to do agility or cvx for more calorie burn.
and their are more workout...

So basically, if you are looking to tone up, lose fat and I mean fat and not worrying about the scale going up but coming back down the next week. Try P90x3 because their is no workout that will acelerate, decelerate, incinerate,challenge you like a Warroir like P90x3. So If you're those people who are scared of the workout pick up the CD do a day workout and you will never want to stop till the clock is 30mins.
Oh yh my results were week 1: 51.7kg 
week 4: ~56 kg
week 8: 52kg (including 5kg muscle gain)
So if you want to know my meal plan I can send it to you in an email just contact me and if you have any question just ask
so be beautiful, be brave, be fit

So here are the calender you can choose from:classic,mass,lean
