I thought that I would let everyone know where I’m at since I’m starting a new round. Keep in mind that I’m also doing Cardio X every morning as well as the daily P90X and Insanity workouts. Here are my day 3 shoulders and arms results.

Today is the first day of round 3! I’m not going to be posting regular blog updates but I will be posting 30 60 and 90 day result pics as they come so keep a lookout for them. Oh yeah, I’m also planning on doing doubles this time through so the results should be pretty amazing!

Well round 2 of P90X is almost over and to tell the truth, as far as looks go, I’m in worse shape then I was before I started the second round. This is 100% my fault and 100% because of bad nutrition choices. I’m glad that round 2 is nearly over because I’ve promised myself that during round 3 I’m going to stick to a good nutritional diet and I’m going to get the results that I should have gotten in the second round. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve made huge improvements in every area except for ‘looks’. I’m lifting heavier with more reps and I’m able to do much more cardio without being winded then I ever have before. Also I’ve surpased a lot of physical goals during this second round as well. I’m up to 71 consecutive push-ups without rest (100 is my goal). I was only able to do 50 after the first round so that’s pretty good if you ask me.

Today I did a double workout. First I completed Back and Biceps and Ab Ripper X from P90X. Both workouts were good but back and biceps was the stand out workout. I used heavier weights for a bunch of the moves and I felt really great throughout the entire workout. After I finished the ab ripper, I completed the Plyo Cardio Circut from Insanity. I was pretty tired but I pushed through to the very end so I’m sure I burned off a bunch of extra calories during that workout. Tomorrow I’m going to be doing an Insanity Max workout for the first time so that should be interesting!

I’ll be posting again in a few days, most likely on day 90 with my updated pics and stats.

I just wanted to add a quick post to let everyone know that I’m still around. I haven’t been posting every day like I used to but I have been working out hard. I’ve had some tough times in life reciently and just haven’t had the motivation to blog every day. I will probably start blogging weekly rather then daily, at least for a while. Theres only a couple more weeks left until I finish up round 2 of P90X and then I’m going to be starting round 3 right away. Keep checking back for new pic updates!

Another insane workout today. I did Plyo Cardio Circut from the Insanity series. This was the third time that I’ve done this workout and it’s still amazing. By the end I really can’t push very much more at all as I’m just drained. My arms and legs are like jello by the end. I can’t really imagine what the MAX plyo is going to be like. For now, this workout is enough for me! This is the kind of workout where you are still sweating even after you get out of the shower.

Todays workout was Cardio Power & Resistance. It was the first time doing this workout and it was an amazing one. The warm up was a little different then the ones I’ve done so far. It was just as hard, but different. Then the actual workout started and it was hard too. Overall I liked the workout and I’ll sure I’ll even get better at it for next time.

I had another good workout today. I did Shoulders and Arms and followed it up with Cardio Abs. Both workouts went well. Bransen was over doing his Kenpo workout so he decided to do the cardio abs routine with me and he was suprised by it but it was good.

Todays workout was Plyo Cardio Circut. I thought that it was a brand new workout but it turned out to be the same workout as the full preview dvd that I have. So I had done this workout once before, but let me tell you, it wasn’t any easier this time! It was really really hard! I made it through to the very end although I did have to take an extra break or two during some of the exercises towards the end of the workout. I am to the point now where I can complete the entire warm up without a break. If you’re laughing at that, there can only be one of two reasons. One, you’ve done the insanity warm up and know what I’m talking about, or two, you’ve never done the insanity workout and have no idea what I’m talking about!

Today we did the Insanity workout Cardio Recovery for the first time. It was kinda hard but it was so short (only 33 minutes) that it just flew by. It seemed like a really good recovery from the normal intense workouts. I enjoyed it but I think in the future unless I’m drained or something that I’ll probably add in some treadmill time on Cardio Recovery days. We’ll see though, the rest felt pretty good!

Yet another awesome workout today! We did Back and Biceps along with Cardio Abs from Insanity. Both the workouts were great. I’m so glad that I decided to do this hybrid workout because I’m really enjoying it a lot. I’m looking forward to the workouts more now and I feel that I’m getting more out of them as well. If you’ve done P90X once or twice before and are looking for something a little different, I think that a P90X Insanity hybrid is the way to go.

Today was the our first time doing the Insanity Pure Cardio workout and I have to say that I really can’t think of a better name for the routine. It started out with the normal Insanity “warm up” routine, followed by the stretch. Once the workout starts, you better be ready because you have to do about 20 intense, fast pace cardio moves with no rest in between. It’s an amazing cardio workout. It’s really hard but I like it! I’m sure that I’ll be able to get better and better each time we do it. I must say that I’m loving the P90X Insanity Hybrid workout schedule so far!

Today starts day 1 of my P90X / Insanity hybrid workout routines. I’m still cotinuing to count the workouts as round 2 of P90X just to keep things a bit easier to track. Todays workout consisted of Chest and Back and Cardio Abs. The chest and back workout was really good. I pushed myself hard and I ended up doing a ton of pushups. Then I did the Cardio Abs routine for the first time. It’s a really great ab workout. It’s about the same length as the Ab Ripper X routine but it makes you sweat a lot more. I could really feel it in my abs afterwards. I can already tell this hybrid workout is going to be really hard. I’m looking forward to the challenge!

My copy of Insanity arrived today and I couldn’t help but skip todays Yoga X workout and complete the Insanity Fit Test instead. I must say that just the fit test is really like a pretty nice cardio workout. I was sweating a ton by the time it was over and it’s only a warm-up plus 8 one minute moves. I can already tell this program is going to kick my butt and hopefully take my body to the next level of fitness. Here are my Insanity Fit Test Results.

Switch Kicks:  47 Each Leg
Power Jacks:  40
Power Knees:  59
Power Jumps:  18
Globe Jumps:  5.5 (22 Total Jumps)
Suicide Jumps:  15
Push-Up Jacks:  20
Low Plank Oblique:  16 Each Leg

Like I stated in an earlier post, my plan is to put together a hybrid schedule of P90X and Insanity workouts. I’ll probably start doing the hybrid routines the begining of next week. I’m looking forward to the new challenge!

Well, I haven’t posted for a few days. We just finished up a long (Labor Day) weekend and we’ve been pretty busy lately. Also for some reason I haven’t been as motivated as usual to post these daily bloggs. Hopefully the motivation will return, if it doesn’t then I may start reducing the number of posts a bit. We’ll have to see what happens. In other news, I ordered my copy of Insanity. I finally talked myself into doing the Insanity full preview DVD that I have and I really enjoyed it. It was a great workout, just as I knew it would be. So I decided to order them. They should be here very shortly. I think I’m actually going to do some kind of P90X / Insanity hybrid workout. I’ll post more when I decide exactly what I’m going to do…
