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. LOL

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.

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

That's kind of funny. LOL

We did P90X plyo this morning. I burned 826 calories. Great workout.

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.

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 :-)

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!

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.

Kenpo/Cardio X+ tonight....4 more days until the "fun" begins...Max Insanity workouts.

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.

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!

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.

Elaine

Week 9 starts with chest, back & ARX. Woooooooo....watched the Insanity MAX dvd's last night which I start tomorrow. I got this!

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!!!

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.

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.

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. LOL
