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!

First P90X Chest and Back Workout

OK, today was my first Chest and Back workout.  The exhaustion kind of sneaked up on me compared to yesterday.  Where as yesterday I was huffing and puffing after the first few minutes, today I never really lost my breath, but by the time I started the second round of the exercises I was exhausted and my chest and arms were pumped!

Here is my workout sheet:

Chest and Back Round 1 Round 2
Push up 25 25
Pull up 7 3
Military Push up 20 12
Reverse Grip Pull up 5 3
Wide Push up 20 15
