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

They have 60-70 pound weighted vests on Ebay for $80-85 with free shipping.

Cool, glad I cold help. At first I saw an Xvest for over $300. Geesh.

Low impact stuff for me this week. Just walking a couple of miles every night to keep myself active before restarting on Saturday.

It's gonna be a GOOD week! Browns SHOCKED the world again putting a beatdown on the New England Patriots.

Whoo Whoo. Let's see if the Brownies can make it a triple shocker by beating the Jets next week.

Schedule gets a lot easier after the Jets. They may be able to make a nice run,

Everyone enjoy your week!

My boss came in with a block of cheese hat on his head because of Green Bay's win against the Cowboys.

I didn't know the Cowboys were still an NFL team. :laugh:

New weighted vest is already here! Haven't opened it yet but I'm pumped.

Just don't go swimming with that vest on. :laugh:

Pretty excited...forgot to mention that I'm waiting for a call back from the local college (Mount Union) to schedule a Bod Pod bodyfat test on Saturday morning before my 5th round.

I don't have a HRM yet, any idea on how to figure out the ball park of what I am burning without one. I am saving money for one. What is a good one for me to get?

hi all!!!! i'm been consistently working out since March (run, shred, kettlebell) and my husband and i are interested in Insanity or P90X. i am much more fit than he is and these scare me, lol. a HUGE concern of mine though is that my husband has back problems (2 herniated discs). he insists he will be fine but the name of this is INSANITY!!!! noway how Insane is it really?

I am wondering about heart rate monitors with calorie counters. I have the garmin 405(GPS) and LOVE IT! It counts calories when I run or bike outside but I don't know if it can count calories for an indoor workout video like insanity. Anyone know if and how to do it? If not what heart rate monitors do you guys like the best for counting indoor workout calories?

I wouldn't recommend that he jump right into insanity. I've done P90X, Insanity, the hybrid of both, and I also now own Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. With his back problems I would honestly have to recommend getting 30 Day Shred and see how he does at each level. He doesn't have to do it for the full 30 days, but maybe try it out for two straight weeks. It's a $10 investment. If he can handle all three levels of 30 Day Shred then he would be ready for P90X. With his back issues, I wouldn't recommend Insanity. P90X should help him strengthen his back. Good luck.

I agree. I have a cracked disc in my lower back from an old pro wrestling injury that I never got fixed. I'm so used to it that I just deal with it. The only exercise that really upsets it is the workout in P90X Core Syn where you have to twist and "pick it up and put it on the shelf."

Herniated discs are another issue. The Insanity workout is constant impact and there is a lot of jumping around. Insanity is indeed "insane" and this may not be the workout for him. I take risks with my back and, now, bad knee every time I work out but I'm just stupid. :laugh:

We did chest and back this morning. I am screaming it from the roof tops (even told my coworkers) that I did 202 total push-ups without knees.

Awesome!:drinker:

How do you how many calories you burned doing p90x and insantiy. I do them both as well. Wish my fitness pal had in there data base

The only way to tell is by using a HRM. The amount of calories burned will depend on your sex, age, height and weight. But more importantly, It will also depend on how much you exert yourself during the workout. You can say you completed a certain workout but if you didn't really exert yourself you didn't burn the number of calories that a "generic" measurement says.
