At the Nike outlet there, I got a pair of Nike Free Running shoes. Hip Hop Abs is a workout video series lead by choreographer Shaun T that is. While there, we went outlet shopping at Clinton Crossing. Seth and I visited my family in Connecticut this Saturday.

When I am finished with Asylum, I am planning to do some running perhaps even training for something like a 10K. I am excited for him to work on that while I am doing Asylum over the next month. Seth is also working on his fitness and has downloaded a Couch to 5K app for his iPhone. I am excited to see how this is a different style workout than Insanity and which areas of my fitness I am able to improve. I will begin the Asylum workout starting, most likely, next Monday, and will begin to report out how things go. Place your palms face down on the floor in front of you.
#Shaun t tuck jumps how to#
I did do well with some of the vertical jumping, a move that relied on some of the plyo power I have been able to develop during the Insanity workout. How to do it: Put your feet shoulder-width apart and keep your arms by your sides. As a result some of my numbers were a bit lower than they could have been.

I kind of wish that I had watched the DVD once through before taking the test to get an idea of the movements, as I wasted time in the fit test just trying to figure stuff out. If you did not perform the movement correctly without moving the ladder, your rep didn't count, hence my personal focus on the precision of my movements over the number for this first fit test. While I won't be starting the new program for another week, I wanted to do the fit test to get an idea of the differences between Insanity and Asylum. I only wish I had made more progress.Īfter finishing the last fit test, I decided to take out the fit test of Asylum. I know that my upper body is weaker than my lower, so I am glad I got to work it more here. I had to modify some of the push-ups during the program and do them on my knees, so I think I had less growth here. I actually found this the hardest part of the workout. I improved my upper body strength as well. I definitely notice a difference when I am doing other exercises, such as the elliptical at the gym - non-Insanity workouts seem so much easier now to me. (They are like wide knee tuck jumps for those who know what I mean.) I am very happy how the program led me to improve my cardio so much. Power jumps for example are extremely challenging. I am especially pleased with the progress I made on the cardio moves. You do eight exercises for a minute each and count the number of reps you're able to complete. Released on Transcript (upbeat music) (audience cheers) Hey what's up Self readers, my name is Shaun T, the. The fit test is taken every couple of weeks during the Insanity program and helps you track your progress. Insanity creator Shaun T demonstrates how to do a power jump.

$59.85 plus $12.95 shipping, beachbody.This Saturday, I finished the Insanity Workout. He says he’s suffering from “hip-hop ass.” These are much more challenging, with more jumping and squatting, which explains why Brian has been hobbling lately. Slowly extend legs back out with control to return to start. Keeping back flat, draw knees into chest while trying not to raise hips. Engage core and raise hips so body forms a straight line from shoulders to feet. Another $60 investment for three workouts, between 35 and 45 minutes. Start in a push-up position with hands on the floor and feet balancing on the ball.

We recently graduated to Hip Hop Abs Maximum Results Set Level Two. I’ve lost a few pounds, and my stomach is flatter my husband’s is visibly tighter and has new definition. The workouts provide a good combination of core work, cardio, and resistance (with your own weights or one-pound weighted gloves you can order for $20 extra). Now we do moves like the “get busy,” the “throw down,” and “the flava” three or four times a week with instructor Shaun T (pictured). This can help train the muscles needed to get your knees up. Especially the single leg skip, with this jump you get one leg into a high tuck position, but let the other push you off the floor. Then I popped the Total Body Burn disc in, and he saw me doing the “three T’s”: Tilting my shoulders down, tucking my butt under, and tightening my abs with a breath-of-fire-esque exhale to a bouncy beat. The plyo jumps I find that were best to practice: Squat jump (aka Power jump), Lunge jump, Single leg skip, and tuck jumps. So what was I doing dialing the 800 number for Hip Hop Abs, with testimonials from newly slimmed-down, middle-aged white guys? Brian, my husband, laughed when he heard I paid $60 for the four DVDs (six different workouts, 15 to 42 minutes long). And I’ve certainly never been an exercise-video person I was a runner until injuries sidelined me. I’ve never purchased anything from an infomercial before.
