Currently doing Convict Conditioning with hopes of actually doing a pull up. Once i do that I'm going to do The X again leading up to P90X2.
What is convict conditioning?
It is a program that uses strictly body weight exercises. I'll send you a link when I get home tomorrow.0 -
I am on week 2 of Asylum! Then onto a P90X/Asylum Hybrid0

I'm currently doing week 1 of Insanity and I absolutely love it so far. I admit I curse and complain while I'm doing it lol but i do it and when I'm done I'm all smiles and wayyyy proud of myself!0

Tomorrow starts my second week of Insanity. loving it. even though its grueliling itotally love it. love shaun T, he has a way about him that really makes me want to push the limit
I am the same way! Plus watching the people in the back who take breaks really helps me, most workout videos just have people who NEVER stop and I like knowing that they are having a tough time too! WHen I can keep going while they are in "child pose" makes me push harder. Its a lot of tricks like that that keep me determined lol.0 -

Hahah exactly. When I see them stumble off to go grab water it just reinstates that we all need breaks and we are all on the same page, even if they are in WAY better shape than i am!
Nisha- TOTALLY understand. Hate it during, love it after.
And sammypacks: I think I have a crush on Shaun T. Hahaha even though someone once told me he seems to like guys better...i still think he and tonya have something going on. And yeah, starving student here as well. Just a server who wants to be in shape!0 -
Hi all, a friend and I are on week 4 of a hybrid Chalene Extreme Rotation and starting the push circuit, we are also training for a 10k so twice a week I run 6-7 miles and the rest of the time shorter runs between 3-4 miles. I HATE PUSH-UPS with a passion and Chalene for some reason keeps saying "if you don't like push-ups its because you haven't been doing them" that's usually the point every week i am glaring at her on the screen and yelling.. I am doing the stupid push-ups and ..i..still..hate..them..!!0

I've done 3 rounds of P90X and P90X+. I tried to do a 4th round last fall and decided that I couldn't stomach any more of Tony's jokes. I may give P90X2 a go when it's released, but until then, I'll stick with ChaLean for strength training.
Did Insanity as well...was the leanest I've been in over 15 years at the end of my 60 days, but I HATED the warm-up every single day!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm gearing up to do Asylum, and I've done 2 of the workouts just to do them and I can say that I think I'll REALLY like it. It's a different feel from Insanity for some reason. Once I've done my 30 days, I may alternate 30 days of Insanity with 30 days of CLX and teaching Turbo Kick, rinse and repeat.0 -
I hear you about the 4th round of X. I had to put it all on separate sheet and follow without the dvds. I even included all the warmups just to get away from the monotony. I also added the insanity workouts for the x cardio. I took most of the winter months off and have now moved onto SL 5x5. I like the strength part a lot more and plan on working in the cardio (once I forget all the corny sayings) of p90x and insanity. Want to build a better strength base and go from there.0

Hahhaha I totally understand where you are coming from! Whenever Shaun T says "dig deeper" when I am dying and getting to that crazy point, I start yelling at the screen "I AM DIGGING DEEPER YOU A**HOLE WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE!!" hahah and everyone around me just thinks I've totally lost it. Guess thats why its called Insanity?
How do you like Chalean Extreme? Im intrigued by it and I think I want to get it, but don't you have to buy a lot of equipment with it? Im curious to try something new.0 -

I really want to do Asylum after I finish this round of INSANITY. I don't think I'll get tired of Shaun T-its kind of weird, I actually missed his support whenever I wasn't doing INSANITY...but maybe I am just weird. I've actually heard that Tony can be realllly annoying and I have a lot of friends who mute the tv and turn on music.
And great job btw. Just the fact that you've done all of those programs is a huge inspiration for me. I want to be able to say I've done them all!0 -

I like Shaun T he's easy to listen to but even though I've heard the same thing you have about Tony Horton I think you are hearing from a very vocal extreme minority. Frankly Tony's style is quite refreshing from the militant type trainers who really just yell a lot and never really motivate much at all. Tony is funny but in a real way, often mincing words or saying things that don't make much sense, actually just like a person in a real life situation. I appreciate the way they didn't worry about re-shooting verbal miscues and just focused on the workout itself. Makes it more real for me. I'll take that any day over some drill-instructor like windbag. In fact I mute the music so I can hear everything they say.0 -
today starts day 1 of insanity got the fit test today0

I am on week one of Insanity. Those of you that did it and saw results did you follow the nutritional guide? Also my general profile on here says I should only eat 1200 calories, did any of you guys up your calories when you started insanity? Thanks! So far I am loving it!!0

there is something just extremely infectious about Shaun t's personality that keeps ya coming back.
not to mention he is pretty hot.0 -
Did day 1 of P90X classic today--chest and back and ab ripper x. Holy moly! :-)
I'm very glad I did CLX first b/c it taught me all kinds of good habits (write it down, abs tight, back flat, go at your own pace, pause when you need to) that are obvious now but that I would not have gone into this knowing. And--much more importantly--CLX got me over my high-school-gym-inspired fear of push ups!
Today was tough, but (to my surprise) not impossible. Thanks, Chalene!!0 -

Thank you so much. I am definitely upping my calories. =]0 -

I didn't follow the nutritional guide to a t but definitely tried to eat healthy. I think if you follow the guide you will definitely see the best results. I found that for breakfast I usually couldn't eat just a piece of fruit if I were to work out after, it wasn't enough energy to get me through those MAX workouts in month 2. With the burn of the workout (I am at 1200 cal a day too) it usually put me over 2000 calories which I eat back. Nutrition is more of a problem for me than fitness lol, I can work my butt off but when it comes to eating I don't always choose the greatest options but when you work off that many calories it helps to motivate me to eat healthier since I sweated my butt off just to burn them.
Fairy- He is pretty hot! I can't believe how ripped he is. I mean he talks throughout all the workouts while I am gasping for breath. It impresses me.
Hemlock- Did you like chalean? I want to try it! I've heard a lot about ab ripper x-usually not very happy but good results! lol0 -
I did plyometric cardio circuit yesterday for the first time in a long time-WOW. I thought it'd be easier since I did INSANITY a month ago-but no. It was back to day 1 for me. Well, that isn't completely true. I definitely pushed harder, did EVERY exercise full out (even the suicide drills) but when it came to the 30 second break, I had to pause it over 3 times. My heart rate just wasn't getting back down AT ALL so it wasn't really interval training. It was like my body was still in good shape but my lungs/heart were not the same.
I was still proud of myself for how well I did each exercise. The in and out abs and ski abs totally kill my shoulders though! After INSANITY I wanted to go for a run but it was raining so I decided to do Insane Abs-it felt soo good. My abs are sore today which I really love that feeling! Now on to power and resistance before going out to celebrate the 4th!
Congrats to everyone who is working out today. Its tough when all of my friends are poolside already but hey-once I get done I can join them and show off my progress right?0 -
Yes, I loved ChaLEAN. My only experience with weights had been nautilus machines, so I really appreciated the detailed instruction in form and the constant reminders. I started with The New Rules of Lifting but found that I didn't know enough to follow the instructions in the book. Now I think I could do it, but I liked CLX so much that I decided to do P90X instead.0
