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!

Mon - Week 4 - Pure Cardio

Week 4 Monday Weight:  165

We took off Friday to allow our old bodies to rest.  The plan was to give a nice 3 day break and start back today.  I did that for the most part, but on Saturday I was able to slide down to the basement for 4 quick sets of bench press.  Last year for my 36th birthday, I benched my bodyweight by my age in 4 sets: So I did 165 lbs for reps of 10, 10, 8 and 8.  This year I want to do the same thing, except maybe add some weight or maybe try and do it in just 3 sets.... we'll see.

Anyway, today was great... well, truthfully it stunk, but I worked it out and gave it my all.  Monday workouts are super tough.

I have good news... I have the video camera ready and plan to take snipits from my workout tomorrow and post it... if goes smooth enough, I'll do it for each workout the rest of the week so that you can actually see me doing this work.
