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!

I can’t believe that round 2 is half over already. What a ride. It’s going by fast! Today I had another really great workout. I did shoulders and arms and ab ripper x. I push so hard during both workouts and it was just incredible. I’m really excited about the progress that I must be making, with all these great workouts! I’m also excited about tomorrows Insanity workout!

Todays workout was Plyometrics and it was absolutly awesome! I think it may have been the best plyo workout I’ve ever had. I wanted to really push myself as hard as I could so I was going trying to do the P90X plyo routine as if it were an Insanity routine. Man, I was really feeling it by the end. It was amazing. My legs are like jello but I feel so good. Napua and Bransen did really well also. Bransen was sweating so much it was crazy!

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!

Today’s Kenpo workout was one of the best yet. It went really well. I did feel that it wasn’t quite the workout that it used to be intensity wise, but hey, I’ve done a couple Insanity workouts now so what do you expect? Anyways, like I said, the workout was really good. I enjoyed it a lot, and I was still wanting more when it ended. This is probably the last time I’ll be doing kenpo for a while since I’m going to be starting the P90X Insanity hybrid routines on Monday and I have kenpo x only during the recovery week. I’m glad the last one for a while went so well!

Todays workout was Legs and Back. I had a pretty good workout. My legs are really feeling it! Napua had a good workout as well and Bransen said that today was probably the best workout he’s completed so far. So I guess today was a good workout day for all of us! Ab ripper x went pretty well today also, as it almost always does.

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!

Todays back and bicep workout went pretty good. I did about the same amount of weight and reps on most of the exercises that I did last week. I was able to raise the weight on a few of the moves as well which is always nice to be able to do. Ab ripper x went well again this time also.

Todays workout was Plyometrics. Napua, Bransen and I all did the workout together. It was pretty good. I was feeling it after all the bad eating that I did over the holiday weekend! I still had a pretty amazing workout. I think that we all did judging from the sweat dripping off of everyone!

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…

Todays workout was Yoga X and it felt really hard. My arms are still pretty sore from yesterdays workout which probably has a lot to do with it. I just wanted the yoga session to be over with! Hopefully next week will be a little bit easier.

Todays workout was Back and Biceps and it was great. It really works you hard and leaves you feeling really good afterwards. Today was Bransens first time doing the workout and he got a great workout from it. Ab ripper x went well for everyone today too.

Today was day 30 of my second round of P90X. For anyone who doesn’t know, we did 120 days of what we called “Round 1″ first. Then we went on vacation to Hawaii. We started on “Round 2″ Around 3 weeks or so after we finished round 1. The problem I had was that in Hawaii I went totally off my diet so I gained some weight back. Now that we’re back I’ve been pretty good with my diet again but still working on getting back to my round 1 results. It shouldn’t be much longer. And I am stronger now then I was at the end of round 1 already. I will be posting my round 2 day 30 result pictures probably tomorrow so keep an eye out for them.

UPDATE: I’ve posted my day 30 pics and weight / fat percentage information at the bottom of the page. From the looks of things, I’m about back to where I was before going on our Hawaii vacation. I’m looking forward to the progress that I’ll be making in the next 60 days.

Today was the first time we did the Chest Shoulders and Triceps workout this round (the first time ever for Bransen). It was a pretty hard workout. My numbers were ok but lower then I wanted. I know that next week will be better. I’m not too disapointed with my results though. I did pretty good. Ab ripper x went well. Usually after the recovery week I have more trouble with the ab ripper but this time it wasn’t too bad.

I ended up switching out yesterdays yoga day for rest and did yoga today on the rest/stretch day instead. We were painting all day yesterday and just didn’t have time to get the yoga routine in. Anyways, I did it today and it was pretty hard. I felt like my arms were weak, most likely from all the painting we did. Tomorrow starts week 5 which means the new routines are coming into play. It’s going to be fun!
