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!

Plyo - Wednesday - Week 2

I'm tired.  My hands are shaking as I type this out... just finished doing the Plyo workout from the P90X program and it is a beast.  The end of the workout is what kills me... I was just about to explain, but I think it would be better to just show you, so I'm going to work on videoing this workout next week. 

In the mean time, I paid closer attention to the timing of this workout and here is how it breaks down:

Warm-up
Easy: 3:30 - of jog, jumping jacks, heisman, 1-2-3 heisman, butt kicks, high knees, mummy kicks
Moderate: 3:30 - same as above
All Out: 3:30 - same as above

Water Break: 30 seconds

Stretch: 7 minutes (not as easy as it sounds)

22 minutes of hard core exercises like: suicide drills, power squats, mountain climbers, ski downs, basketball jumpers, ski abs, in-out abs, and a few others... we had I think 4 breaks at 30 seconds each.

Cool down lasted about 3 minutes.

Shower time.
