Thanks M Seeley, I did order it last week (T25 by Shaun T), I think it is the one and the same thing. It is based on Insanity but shorter and harder.
T25 is good, but it is not harder. Insanity is considerably harder (I have done both). However, T25 works well and as you say is shorter. Insanity Max 30 is considerably harder than T25 (and yes - they are all by Shaun T) and is 30 minutes long for each exercise. I find it more difficult than the original insanity was.
Thanks M Seeley, I did check now and see they are 3 different programs. Well I hope to work on T25 and if that works I can graduate to Max 30 or Insanity. I am wary of me dropping the ball if I start off on a very ambitious workout.
Coincidentally, I recently bought a spin bike myself. Current schedule is 30 mins before breakfast and 15 min before bed. Lost 9 lb since the start of the year. Cycling, IMO, is running minus joint impact - better, to cut a long story short. With high resistance you probably wouldn't even need the strength training.
I'd heartily recommend spinning myself, the interval training nature of the workout much better mimics the way you work in badminton and adding in the leg muscle resistance training makes for a pretty awesome badminton workout IMO. Being able to run 10k at a constant steady pace won't nessecarily help your badminton fitness where its more about short, high intensity bursts.
You need to build your fast twitch muscle fibres are those are used mostly in badminton where legs are concerned. Kindest regards, -Ajay- Quote of the Day I hope that while so many people are out smelling the flowers, someone is taking the time to plant some.
I can recommend this exercise for you as I have tested it myself. Go on a treadmill and increase the incline to at least 20%, the higher the percentage the harder you work on your legs. Set the speed as fast as you can run without falling. Then set the timer to an hour depending how advance you are. Sprint for 30 seconds and then jump off to rest for 30 seconds. Do this as many times as your legs can handle it. Usually around 6 times is when your legs give out. If it doesn't then you need to increase the speed or percentage of incline or both. This will increase your speed on the court and stamina for your legs, plus your cardiovascular system. Most important have fun!
Having a goal will usually motivate you otherwise people will cheat. =) Set a goal. Complete the goal. Make new goals. It keeps things challenging.
This is my personal favorite. Getting both legs and wrist working at the same time. I also had to do this as I have an allergy on polluted air, where my skin will itch. and there are so many ways to do it.
