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!

TGIF - Week 2 in the bag!

That is a great feeling!  That means I have worked out 10 out of the last 12 days!  So far so good.

Today we did the same workout as last Friday... we started off with a 15 minute Cardio Abs workout from the Insanity series, then we followed that up with doing the 12 min warm-up, except we do the warm-up at full speed.  I wore a heart rate monitor for the first time and was able to check throughout... I was around 125 during the cardio abs session, then around between 181-183 during the hard core part. 

I'm a little concerned with Monday's weigh-in, since this is Superbowl Sunday weekend... planning on some wings (grilled and dipped in my own sauce) and a few brews... we'll see, maybe I postpone weigh-in until Tuesday morning. :)
