Turning back time at 36

Hello,

I've decided that it's time. Time for me to shed the extra weight. Time for me to clear out the years of gunk building in my veins and arteries. Time for me to regain my life!

My title may be confusing, so let me explain. I've tried the popular P90X workout and it is great. Recently, I've tried another product from Beachbody called "Insanity". Let me tell you... IT IS INSANE! However, at my age (36) it's also hard on the joints. There is a ton of jump training in back-to-back days, and it was just too much. So, here is what I've done.

I took the best of P90X and the best of Insanity and I've combined them for one awesome workout! On Mon, Wed, and Fri, I do the Insanity cardio stuff. On Tues and Thur, I do the P90X stuff. I match the workouts with what the program says to do on the first month. It may sound complicated, but it's really not. Let the X-Sanity begin!!

Feel free to add comments or post questions and I'll be glad to try and answer them. No laughing at my pics, though!

Chest & Back - Week 3

Had a great workout today!  I'm sure I'll end up paying for it over the next 2 days, but I pushed as hard as I could go today.  I took my reps to my absolute max, and for the most part I increased my reps over last week.  This is good because next week is the last week we do this workout as we'll be moving to phase 2 and that has a totally different DVD and workouts... so I'll have one final week to really blow it out. 

Here is my workout sheet:

Chest and Back Weight Round 1 Round 2
Push up   30 30
Pull up   7 4
Military Push up   20 15
Reverse Grip Pull up   5 4
Wide Push up   25 25
Close Grip Pull up   5 4
Decline Push up   20 20
Heavy Pants  35lb DB 12 12
Diamond Push up   15 15
Lawnmowers  35lb DB 12 12
Dive Bomber Push up   15 15
Chest Fly  35lb DB 8 6
