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!

Week 2 - Monday

Weight - 166 (down 3.5 pounds)

I had a pretty active weekend.  On Sat and Sunday my wife and I took the kids to the park where there are a few nature trails.  Sat was easy, but Sunday we did a pretty tough hike... several times I had to help pick up the stroller to cover the terrain.  I have pics, maybe I will add one soon.



Anyway, today's workout wasn't too bad.  Today was Pure Cardio again from the Insanity program.  This is the one where there isn't any water breaks after the main portion gets rolling.  I had to take 3 breaks at about 30 seconds each, but that's not too bad for week 2.  My left hip is a tad sore.  I'm not sure if it is from the Friday Ab workout (you use a lot of hip flexors during Abs) or from the hiking... oh well, I'll have to be careful.
