I'm sure most of you have heard of, or maybe even tried, the P90X program from BeachBody. It uses weight training, muscle confusion & cardio; I highly recommend it. But...
One of their newer programs is INSANITY. Well, I finished it last year and I have to say this was the hardest, most challenging physical activity I have ever attempted. From three minutes in you are typically near your max heart rate and dripping with sweat.
The thing I like about this program though is that it is all body weight exercises. It's theme is "Interval Training", which means long periods of extreme exertion and high heart rate, followed by very short rest period to recover. It works, too. After 63 days I lost 15 lbs (I was 6', 190lbs when I started), was faster, able to jump higher, had more power and agility. I saw great performance increases in my MA training & sparring, including much better cardio. (My info-mercial voice) I was in the best shape of my life at 35!
I thought I would mention this here because I believe it is a fantastic program for Martial Artists and was wondering if anyone here had given it a try.
Here is the link to their website.
