Rest Week Between Programs
I just had a quick question to anyone who has tried both Insanity and P90X. I'm planning on finishing up the Insanity program in the next two weeks and trying out P90X for the first time. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to take a rest/recovery week between the programs (or tackle Insanity's recovery week from…
