P90X Combined With Insanity | Week 5

Begin Phase 2 of my P90X Insanity Hybrid Workout.

Day 29 Monday – P90X Chest, Shoulders & Triceps, today began phase 2 of my workout. It’s hard to believe it’s already been 4+ weeks. As I said from day one, no more B.S. and I have stuck to that motto going hard in every workout and even completeing each workout to it’s entirety including the bonus rounds. Phase 2 brings me 2 new P90X workouts, I will keep the Insanity workouts at Plyo Cardio Circuit and Power & Resistance. Also as I have said in my previous post I have added RevAbs as a 6th day. Back to todays workout, chest , shoulders and triceps is just what it says and what’s great is no repeat moves. This workout is harder than I remember it but I still went at it hard. I did have to pass on two moves, one arm push ups and plyo push ups. In my opinion both of these should be at the begining of the workout, but for some reason they are near the end and by the time I get to them my arms are dead. I did try each of the two but collapsed on the way down and could not get back up. Other than that I did the rest. As Tony would say “BRING IT!”

Day 30 Tuesday – Insanity Plyo Cardio Circuit, back to the intensity of INSANITY! This is a hard workout that I seem to enjoy. I always find myself gasping for oxygen. 30 days of 90, so I’m 1/3 the way to the finish line.

Day 31 Wednesday – P90X Back & Biceps, monday was taking everything and pushing it away, today was taking everything and pulkling it towrds you. I like this workout but I know I’m going to be really sore tomorrow, mainly in the biceps. When I finished my last round of P90X my biceps measured about 12 3/4″ so I am really trying to get some more size in my biceps. At my last measurement they were just a smidge over 13″ so I’m making progress yet slowly.

Day 32 Thursday – Insanity Cardio Power & Resistance, I hadn’t done this workout in over a month mainly becuase of the “power” portion of it. I got up this morning dreading even doing it at all, but I decided to go for it. My entire body is sore from this weeks workout and knowing I was going to be doing a lot of jumping and squats was scary. I went for it and actually enjoyed the workout. It was easier than I remember, although it wasn’t THAT easy. What I liked was the circuits in this workout were only 2 minutes, you can do anything for 2 minutes right. The last set in each circuit is extended to a little over 3 minutes with some added moves like triceps dips. The second set was great until I stumbled onto the globe jumps, AHHH! Globe jumps are killer, if you are doing Insanity you know what I’m talking about. I’m not sure I will leave this workout on thursday with my P90X legs and back working coming tomorrow, it my be to much on my legs. I will see how I feel tomorrow.

Day 33 Friday – OFF, having another softball tournament Saturday, so I opted out of today’s P90X Legs & Back.

Day 34 Saturday – Softball Tournament

Day 35 Sunday – RevAbs Fire Up Your Abs, after taking friday’s workout off then playing in softball tournament yesterday I was ready to get back to my workouts. Overall I had another good week, only having two cheat meals in total for the week, although I’d prefer zero, but rewards are nice to get sometimes. I have started to notice a peak in my energy this week. What I mean by that is thoughout the day I have a lot more energy than before. This is probably due to the workouts as well as my mutivitamins and protein. As I’m typing this I am enjoying my strawberry protein smoothie and loving it.
