Went to the gym to do a quick ab workout and then came back home for a round of Insanity pure cardio. I really like how quick the insanity workout is. I haven't checked out the other videos but I assume they won't fit very well into my schedule since they're targeted more toward people who work out solely in their homes. This generally means they are higher volume with much lighter weight.
Workout:
1) Superset
(5 rounds)
-10 hanging leg raises
-10 cable crunches w/ 80 lbs.
-5-8 L pullups*
*This is just a pull-up where you hold your legs up and in front like an L.
2) Dragon flags*
-4x10
*The superset really tired me out so I did these very carefully. It takes a lot of mind-muscle connection and control to be able to eliminate the extensive use of the hip flexors and lower back in this exercise but some involvement will be unavoidable. If you can't do the entire set then just stop and finish off the reps when you're ready to go again. You'll know when your abs have stopped working when you start feeling a lot of pressure in the hips and lower back.
3) Leg Raises*
*I do these the same way as in the video below. Go to 2:00...
-5x10
4) Insanity Pure Cardio
I really like this. Generally I'll change out a couple of the exercises for things that push my body a little harder, like burpees for example. I tend to run either before or after and these runs never exceed two miles.
