Time for week 2. I’m excited to keep pushing play. These Insanity workouts are pretty rough and have no sign of letting up. After having a not-so-good week last week I am redoing week 2. On top of that I have also decided to revert back to my original Hybrid, incorporating P90X back into the workout. I just really enjoy the strength training of P90X and missed it completely in my workouts. So I will be doing 2 days of P90X, 2 days of Insanity and 1 day of RevAbs. Because of the inensity of Insanity on my legs I have omitted the Legs and back workout and replaced it with RevAbs. I will also be doing the P90X Ab Ripper X 2 days a week. I have left saturday and sunday open, but plan to have a workout on sunday of either a One on One, P90X+ or Insanity.
Day 8 – P90X Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X, I really like this workout and it does take it toll on me, I took it fairly easy-going through the first round to make sure I had enough gas for round 2. I was just about toast at the end of round 2, but made it through and feel great! I will be doing the Ab ripper later in the day to break up the workouts.

Day 9 – Insanity Pure Cardio, feeling sore today from my P90X workout yesterday from all the push and pull ups I decided on doing Pure Cardio. I was trying to do an Insanity workout with the least amount of floor work to avoid overtraining. Every month one Insanity workout has some floor work so I knew I would be skipping this section. Pure Cardio has only 3 moves that included floor work. When the moves came up I simply skipped them. Back to P90X tomorrow…

Day 10 – P90X Shoulders & Arms, still one of my favorite P90X workouts, shoulders and arms is an arm crusher. My shoulders, biceps and triceps are shaking as I write this. I had to omit the bonus round to get my daughters ready for school, but will make sure to get it next time. Today I noticed a new feature on my heart rate monitor, rather than displaying my heart rate, it would show my heart rate percentage. This showed me how close I was to my max heart rate rather than the bpm so my stats will show my heart rate percentage instead bpm.

Day 11 – Insanity Cardio Recovery, I was trying to decide which Insanity workout to do today. I finally decided on Insanity Cardio Recovery. The reason I chose this workout was that I knew I had omitted the P90X legs and back so I would not have a workout for my legs. If you are doing Insanity you know cardio recovery is a killer leg workout. The only thing I may change is the day, meaning next week I may switch today’s workout with tomorrow’s Revabs workout. Dispite the lower calorie burn I feel this one was one of the harder workouts I’ve done this week based on how squeamish my legs feel right now.

Day 12 – RevAbs Fire Up Your Abs, TGIF I got all five of my workouts in this week and I’m extremely proud of myself. I did not do the Ab Ripper X this week, I decided to start ab ripper X next week on monday’s and Wednesday’s. Today I did RevAbs Fire up your abs and by the 3rd round I was shaking in the plank holds. This is probably one of the simplest workouts I do, yet hard on the abs…duh!
