Peloton, Insanity and LIIFT4 – Hybrid Workout Calendar

This 8-week hybrid workout will help you mix up your workout and get your body in bathing suit shape.

Because I  would never want to abandon my Peloton APP rides completely, I’ve created a Peloton, Insanity MAX 30, and LIIFT 4 hybrid workout calendar.   This hybrid workout is not for the faint of heart but it’s a great action-packed workout in under one hour.

UPDATE: It is a doozy!

The workout includes classes for the entire body – abs, biceps, back,  shoulders, cardio, chest, legs, and triceps. All the pure cardio-only classes are with the Peloton App (and your own spin bike) and Insanity MAX 30.  And the lifting exercises are all with LIIFT4, although LIIFT4 also incorporates some cardio and abs.  For example, LIIFT4 50/50 includes half weight training and half cardio/abs.

You know that I love the Peloton App.  I really do; however, sometimes I feel like I need a bit more than just the bike.  There are bootcamp and other type of strength classes on Peloton but unlike spin classes, I need a schedule and some structure.  For off the bike workouts I prefer BeachBody.com programs over the Peloton App classes.  In particular, I like the Insanity (with Shawn T) and the LIIFT4  (with Joel from Core de Force) for a combination of weight training, cardio, and abs.  Insanity is available both on DVD and on Demand while LIIFT4 is only available for streaming on Demand.

Insanity Max 30 Workout Overview

Each Insanity Max 30 class is 30 minutes (except for Abs which are less) and maybe the hardest 30-minute workouts I have ever done.  It is exhausting, no breaks and so worth it.  This is the list of classes:

• Cardio Challenge
• Max Out Cadio
• Max Out: 15 (15 mins)
• Tabata Power
• Max Out Power
• Tabata Strength
• Max Out Strength
• Sweat Intervals
• Max Out Sweat
• Sweat Fest
• Pulse (20 mins)
• Ab Attack: 10 (10 mins)
• Max Out: Abs (15 mins)
• 360 Abs (15 mins)
• Friday Fight Round 1
• Friday Fight Round 2

UPDATE: A reader asked if Ab Attack: Insanity Max 30 is 30 minutes.  Don’t be scared, its only 10 minutes (but very tough)!

What You Will Need

Not much, really.

For spinning, you will need a spin bike of course.  If you’ve read my “Peloton App Without the Bike” post, you know that I love my Sunny spin bike.  There are tons of at home spin bikes out there: this one checks all the boxes for me.

(Also,  my 12 Month Review is here:  12 Month Review of Using the Peloton App with my Own Bike.  It explains what has worked and what hasn’t.)

As I mentioned, LIIFT 4 requires some light, medium and heavy dumbbells.  I use a combination of these types of dumbbells like these:

And my husband likes to use this set of Bowflex adjustable weight dumbbells:

I know people that use soup cans and heavy dictionaries.  Whatever works.

Finally, you will likely want to get an exercise mat if you don’t already have one.

 Happy Spinning (and Lifting)!
