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 5 - Back & Bis

Starting a new phase of both programs this week... in the P90X series I'm now combining my back exercises with my bicep exercises.  Its been 20 minutes since I finished the workout and I can still barely type this post!  I don't know if my biceps have ever been this pumped!  Now, if I can only get them to look like this all day long...

Oh, another change is the rounds... You only do an exercise one time and there is only one 45 second water break at the 1/2 way point.
