P90X/Insanity Hybrid... Join In @ Anytime!

Elaine - we're following the P90X schedule, just subbing in Insanity cardio workouts. So this morning was Plyo Cardio Circuit. Holy hell! I did my best, but that rocked me this morning. Can't wait to do it again next week. LOL I'm hoping that hubby's Fountain of Youth will come by Wednesday so we can sub that in for Yoga X. I think Friday is Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. I like the mix of the two (it will be 3 with the One on Ones once they get over to my side of the country, but I think the OoO might be more for our fit clubs actually). Insanity cardio is rockin' but I like Tony's strength training. I did take Kenpo X to my fit club last night because it is one of my faves. They had a hard time though and thought I was pretty crazy for liking it. Definitely not ready for Insanity. LOL0
-
That's cool. Have you done Cardio X with your fit club? I suppose that would be the easiest one to do.0
-
Actually, I figured Kenpo would be. Cardio X has Dreya rolls and Superman Banana and Swing Kicks. For technicality and form, it may be easier (I was having to pause a lot last night to demonstrate), but with 4 different DVDs being mixed up in there, Cardio X wasn't going to be my first one. LOL I am thinking I may do some Power 90 stuff. The Cardio Intervals and UML workouts on the Bring It! DVD of P90X might be good ones. Hahaha. A couple of days ago was the first time I ever looked at those workouts on that DVD. Do you guys have he showcase pack? If it weren't at church, I would do YBB and Hip Hop Abs and Turbo Jam, but the New Age-y feeling of YBB and the music in the other 2 won't really work with the church ladies.0

Hahaha, yeah I guess Power 90 would work. My daughters did that over the summer.0

Didn't get to log in last night. Our new kitten chewed through my mouse cord. Oh the irony.....core synergistics tonight.0

That's kind of funny. LOL
We did P90X plyo this morning. I burned 826 calories. Great workout.0 -

We think she's part dog. In the last two weeks she's wiped out 2 computer mouse cords, a cell phone charger cord, an Iphone charger cord and a regular home phone cord....if she wasn't so darn cute. Girlfriend says she needs a rawhide chew toy.0 -
Yeah, the kitten needs a room full of chew toys!0

Quick question what do you log your insanity workouts under and how many calories do these workouts burn, I am on day 2 plyo cardio... I would like to know the same about p90x workouts also thanks :-)0

You need to purchase an inexpensive heart rate monitor soon. I found mine at Wal-mart. It tracks calories burned. Each body is different and everybody is going to burn calories differently. I burn between 300-400 calories lifting with P90X. I burn up to 700 calories on leg/back day. I can burn 800-980 calories 2nd month of Insanity. I burn 700-900 calories P90X plyo. I'm 219 lbs, 5'7, 40 year old Black female with 25% body fat. I'm going to burn calories differently than others.0
-
BR - LOL that is too funny about the kitten.
Elaine - yeah, I think Power 90 is the one for now. Hubby was trying to get me to do Hip Hop Abs cardio blaster or something with them, but not yet.
Ermommy - agreed. You need a hrm. I'm 159 at 5'7'' and like Elaine said, we all burn differently. I burn about 400 calories during most of the P90X workouts.
Shoulders and Arms this morning. Had to turn it into a bit of a cardio workout towards the end as we were running out of time. Good lifting though. I love that workout!0 -
Core syn done with 666 calories burned.....0
-
Got Fountain of Youth Yoga from the UPS guy last night. Good thing too. We woke up late this morning (I forgot to set the alarm last night) and we wouldn't have had enough time for Yoga X. I did like it, but it left me wanting more. I guess after doing Yoga X for 6 months, it just didn't feel complete.
Elaine - last night I was previewing Sweat 1-2 from Power 90 and fell asleep during it. LOL I just kept thinking, wow this is what we do as warm-up in P90X. Oh well, it will be good for my Fit Club. I need to switch in some easier stuff for them from time to time so that the older ones don't feel too left out.0 -
3rd day, phase 2 of hybrid. Back and biceps done. I'm starting to tune out that chick Katie in the DVD, but she used to be beyond annoying to me. i burned 326 calories this morning. It's been hot all week and I need to start doing more doubles at the gym with jogging on my lunch hour. Last time I jogged was this past weekend. Not enough.0
-
Kenpo/Cardio X+ tonight....4 more days until the "fun" begins...Max Insanity workouts.0
-
After back and biceps yesterday my back seized up on me. Motrin didn't do much for the pain. I just took some Aleve Gelcaps. No workout this morning. Today was supposed to be Insanity Max Recovery. Can't stay home from work today because it's "month end" at my job. Today may strongly suck.0
-
edorice...hope the back is feeling better. I think I have stock in the Walmart & Walgreens Ben Gay knockoffs. That stuff goes on my knees, shoulders, elbows & lower back, liberally, prior to most workouts.
Insanity Cardio Recovery for me tonight and week 8 is done. Then off to weigh in and take measurements.0 -
Elaine - sorry that you got hurt. I woke up with a stiff neck this morning. Ugh. What do you do? I have the same "month end" feeling today as well.
Legs and Back this morning. I have missed that workout. It was replaced with Core Syn the entire last month of P90X Lean (which was our last round). I will say though that doing squats and lunges with Debbie Siebers for 6 days a week, 6 weeks really helped me during this workout. I was able to get a lot lower in my lunges and squats and my form was a lot better too.0 -
Thanks guys.
Core Syn is such a great workout. I think it's better than the leg workout. It's still challenging for me.
Well, I gotta watch the calories today because of no workout. We may stretch this evening, but tonight is Big Bang Theory so it might not happen!0 -
Day off for me. Back at it starting off the home stretch with P90X Chest & Back w/ ARX tomorrow. Will also have to review the Insanity Max workouts on the dvd player before starting that endeavor on Sunday. Have a GREAT day all!!! :flowerforyou:0
-
Thanks you too.
Well, that back issue couldn't keep me down! I was still a little sore this morning. Emptied out my Aleve Gel Caps last night. But we got up and did a shorter Insanity workout. We did Cardio Power and Resistance (I think that's the name). I burned over 500 calories. I'm proud of that workout. I should be 100% by tomorrow. We're starting to get cooler weather, so that's another plus.

Glad you're feeling better, Elaine. Hubby put in Kenpo this morning instead of Pure Cardio. I was a little disappointed, but we get a great burn during Kenpo (we push!) that it was fine and our legs are so sore after Legs and Back yesterday that we really did need it. Looking forward to rest day tomorrow and then starting back up on Sunday. Have a great day!0
-
Week 9 starts with chest, back & ARX. Woooooooo....watched the Insanity MAX dvd's last night which I start tomorrow. I got this!0
-
Of course you got this!
This morning was Max Cardio Conditioning. It was kind of ugly. LOL Got through it and burned 747 calories. We're going to hit the park later on and do some jogging and push-ups.
Have a good Saturday everyone!0 -
I just finished my last lifting week of P90X. Next week I have my last recovery week. I am so excited to have completed 3 complete rounds of this program. I will be starting my second full round of Insanity in 2 weeks. Next week I am going to mix it up a bit and do a 6 day low calorie high protein diet filled with chicken, fish and veggies. no dairy and little carbs. This is only a 6 day detox then I will be going back to eating my norm diet again when I start Insanity. I am also going to incorporate Brazillian Butt Lift starting next week. I know the first few days are gonna suck, but I can do it!!!0

Way to go with tail end of your 3rd round June.
We did Cardio Power and Balance again this morning. I burned 589 calories, more than Thursday.0 -
Today was my first venture with Insanity Max interval plyo. burned 983 calories and it was rough. Heart rate was through the roof. I'd give it an 8 out of 10 as far as my effort level went. Had to stop for a few breaks. It will get better.0

Oh the Max Intervals.....they are so tuff!! Way to stick with it, and just remember even the people in the videos are taking breaks so you are doing a great job! I start my full second round in 1 week. I can't wait to get back to it on a daily basis.0 -

Pretty sure I saw you on my Facebook page today. I think Tommy Mygrant posted the success story of your transformation.
After chest & back yesterday and Max Interval Plyo today I think I'm going to be seeing pushups in my sleep. LOL0 -
That's why we tweaked our hybrid after we did our 1st week. With Chest and Back on Mondays and then to do Max interval Plyo with all of those push-ups; it was brutal. That's why we are doing P90X plyo (no push-ups) on Tuesdays and then our Insanity workouts starting on Thursday through Saturday.
Today we went to our first tailgate party down at The Chargers stadium in San Diego. We had a decent time. I didn't over do it on calories today, but I did snack too much. We did a rare Insanity workout this morning to make up for any sins done today. LOL0
