    Not much change in the knee but I'm still probably going to give Insanity Max Plyo Interval a shot on Sunday after an all day icefest (after P90X Chest/Shoulder/Tris) tomorrow.

    Max Plyo wouldn't be the best DVD to do after an injury. How about some Max Interval?

    Cardipower and resistance done tonight. Had to pause a couple of times but I really did well after I started back up again. Ready for cardio recovery tomorrow (although I understand it's not much of a recovery).

    Today was yoga, but I felt like going to the gym instead. I did an hour doing a mile on the elliptical, 2 miles on the treadmill, and two miles on the bike. I burned 935 calories. Then my Ipod died, so I left. LOL

    So Imk almost done with week 1 of P90X and I already feel the difference. Its amazing. Today was Kenpo X and it was fun. I like working out but I never thought of it as fun. It was extrtemly tough and since Im not flexible at all, some parts were really hard, but over all it was done before I knew it and I was drenched in sweat. I just hope my enthusiasm and attitude stay where it is at.

    That yoga is no Joke! For me who has been in and out of sports and gyms my whole life the lifting is not easy but bearable. The yoga kicks my butt the most!!!

    Back in the swing of things with P90X Chest/Shoulders/Tris & ARX. Workout went smoothly. Still on the fence about doing Insanity tomorrow. I hopped around a little on the knee today to see how it would react and it seemed ok but it's still pretty sore.

    Max Interval (sprint...lunge.....sprint.....lunge) is what caused the injury in the first place.

    Completed Insanity Max Interval Plyo with some apprehension, at first. Went surprisingly well with minimal pain. I avoided the "2 lunge, 2 hop squat" sequence because lunges are what popped the hamstring. I subbed out that part with mummy kicks until the next exercise. Icing the knee before the Browns game...

    Well they do say that ignorance is bliss! Completed pure cardio and added on the cardio abs even though the schedule didn't say I had to it. Love the way I feel after these workouts.

    BR - How about those Browns today???? Never know what you're gonna get with them but it nice to see them kick some butt today.

    Today kicked off phase three of our hybrid. We did Shoulders and arms today. The diet was NOT on track yesterday. I'm going to be paying for it today. Sipping my green tea now to finish waking up. Tomorrow we are going to do Max Interval Plyo from Insanity. We haven't done that in two months!!!

    Finished my last weight workout (back & biceps) of this hybrid. I don't really have far to go before I can keep my body in a somewhat "maintenance mode" and add muscle/get more ripped as I wish. I'm toying with the idea of a 5 day split (3 days Max Insanity, 2 days P90X super heavy workouts...6-8 reps) for my next hybrid in November.

    We did Max Interval Plyo this morning. I burned 558 calories. About the last half of the workout I wanted to barf, but luckily I didn't have anything to barf. Not a pretty picture, but that is how I felt. I hate that workout.

    I learned very quickly when I first started this journey with P90X, regardless of how hard it seems, don't get frustrated. Take breaks as needed and don't give up. It won't necessarily get easier but you will get better.

    Tonight should be real interesting. It will be my first venture of back-to-back Insanity workouts. Normally, my last Insanity day of the week would be Thursday but I have an engagement that I have to be at so I'm doing it tonight. My knee is telling me "why are you doing this to me?"

    hahaha, well good luck!

    We were up too late watching The Biggest Loser last night. We didn't finish watching it on Tivo till 10:30pm and I normally don't stay up that late. So getting up this morning really sucked. We got through chest and back this morning. I only burned 248 calories this morning. I don't feel like jogging at lunch. So, I think that's it for today.
