This is going to be my first criticism of the Insanity programme. I really feel that some of the exercises in today's recovery workout are not as effective as the ones in the Cardio Recovery workout which is done in the first month.
For example, one exercise is the one arm balance followed by press ups. It takes a great deal of control to do the one arm balance, when you follow it with push ups your arms are tired which means the next balance is not effective.
The next one I don't like is on workout 3. With these you open up the hips and pulse it followed by touching your toes.This single exercise is done for over 5 minutes, when it would have been more effective to do several exercises. After this is workout 4, which consists of moving from low plank to high plank. This is done for 6 minutes and I really don't feel it is beneficial.
I've decided that from next week I am going to revert back to the Cardio Recovery programme instead of the max recovery.
