Day 5 was the Friday Fight workout from Max-30, which is definitely the hardest month-one workout. There is a warm-up that cycles through four different moves for two rounds. Then, instead of getting a break, you launch right into the workout. Each exercise in FF is a minute long, and instead of getting 4 or 5 breaks during the workout, you get two. One at the halfway mark and one at the twenty-six-minute mark. It is another total body cardio and strength workout that works the legs, core, chest, and triceps.
Again my one nitpicky point is that you do not have the option to watch the modifier track and there are times when the camera that is following Shaun T around or panning the crowd does not show the modified moves, or just shows the modifier for a second. The cast in this workout is again made up of mostly "normal" people with a couple of fitness models and/or trainers mixed in there. Dea is one of the ones that I was contrasting with Shanita in the other workout. She is clearly not a fitness professional but she works much harder than some of the cast members who slack off when the camera is not on them and then ham it up when the camera is on them (which was something that happened a lot in the original Insanity workouts). Everyone in this workout works pretty hard and even though people are pausing and stopping after they max out, nobody seems to be half-assing it. It is another workout where even the modifier, who is in great shape, has to max out late into the workout. So, it is very challenging. Tomorrow I will be doing P90x's back and bicep workout, which are really the only two body parts that do not get worked to death in Insanity.
