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 - Friday's Workout

I'm a little late getting this up, but yesterday was very productive.  I got in a short 2 mile jog first thing in the morning, plus I also did a 45 min Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning later yesterday.  The "Max" series is extremely difficult... and the Max Cardio Conditioning workout doesn't actually have any time allotted for a waterbreak, so you have to just try and get one here and there.  I finished the workout, but had to take 10-20 second breaks scattered throughout the 45 minutes.  Also, this time I took a half-and-half drink of water/Gatorade for recovery... that really made a big difference in energy.
