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 7 - Back & Bis

Finally!  We're back on the P90X routine!  Sinus infections are a bear to get over, but I think we're both back near 100% (although we both have a few days left of antibiotics left to take).... Anyway, to sum up today in one word I'd have to say... FATIGUE.  I felt so tired and fatigue about half way through the workout... I kept saying that I was about to stop for the day, but somehow I kept going.  When I got home my appetite was crazy!
