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 - Week 3

What a workout!  Today I wore my heart rate monitor again to try and see where my HR is at during my workout.  After my "warm-up" my HR was up to 170... during my workout it hovered between 160 and 175.  I have to do some research to see where it should be. 

The end of this workout is what kills me.  For the last 12 minutes of the workout we have to do Level 1 Drills (from a standing position to down and do 4 push-ups, then 4 runs, then come back up... do that 10 times), then stay in the push-up position, which is called the "plank" and do Ski Abs (from a plank position, jump legs up and out to the left, then back to plank, then to the right) for 1 minute... then finish with 1 minute of In-Out Abs (from plank position, jump feet up under where you stomach as just at, then back to plank).  It was killer.

Seriously, I'm going to try and video this next week.
