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!

Thur - Shoulder and Arms

Today's workout was awesome!  I felt really strong and had plenty of energy throughout the workout... I know this wasn't a case of not bringing the intensity b/c I was giving it all I had.  I just think that since I've been working out 9 out of the last 11 days, my body is starting to get used to the energy drain.  I went up in most of my weights from last week's Shoulder & Arms workout, too.

Here are my results:

Shoulders and Arms Weight Round 1 Round 2
Alt. Shoulder Press  75 10 10
In/Out Bicep Curls  75 8 8
Overhead Tricep Ext.  75 8 7
