DAY 53: MAX RECOVERY and DAY 2: PLYOMETRICS

Hey Everyone

Continuing with my INSANITY and P90X stack today was day 2 of P90X and the PLYOMETRICS workout. I started with this because my INSANITY workout is a recovery one, so I figured it's better to work hard and then recover.

The P90X PLYOMETRICS workout is crazy! It's very interesting how differently the two programs work my body. It seems like for the P90X PLYOMETRICS workout, it's not as cardio based as INSANITY's MAX PLYO workout but it still works my legs like CRAZY!!!! After finishing PLYOMETRICS and giving myself a little break to have my Results and Recovery Formule, I started the MAX RECOVERY workout. WOW!!! I must say that doing those two back to back is brutal!!! Especially at the end of MAX RECOVERY when we do all the pulses in the squat position, and then when you have to keep a heel off the ground and pulse and stretch and then both heels!!! It was NUTS!!! But I got through it and I felt very accomplished. Onto tomorrow!!!

DAY 52: MAX CARDIO CONDITIONING AND CARDIO ABS and DAY 1: CHEST AND BACK and AB RIPPER X

THE DAY HAS COME PEOPLE!!!

This was my first double day of INSANITY and P90X! It was tough but I think my body will get used to in a day or two. I think that the way that I overlapped the programs was the best in consideration of the workouts and especially the combination of workouts from both programs on each day.

Today I woke up and immediately took my pre-workout drink and started my MAX CARDIO CONDITIONING workout. This was 46 minutes of Cardio Conditioning! I did really well with the workout but I found that since I did it on an empty stomach, half way through I lost a little steam. After I finished, I decided that it would be overtraining if I did both CARDIO ABS and AB RIPPER X in one day. I decided to not to CARDIO ABS since I hadn't done AB RIPPER X in over two months! I went about my day and before I knew it, it was time for my parkour class, another full body workout for today. We got out of class at around 11:00pm. By the time I drove home and relaxed a little, it was 12:45. That's when I decided to start my P90X so I popped in my CHEST AND BACK DVD and banged out the CHEST AND BACK workout and then I did AB RIPPER X!!! Now I am completely exhaused and ready for a protein shake and bed!!!

Tomorrow will be Day 2 of this Hybrid Workout Stack! I have P90X PLYOMETRICS in the morning then INSANITY MAX RECOVERY at night!

DAY 51: MAX INTERVAL PLYO

Yesterday was awesome! I did well with my MAX INTERVAL PLYO workout and was able to push myself even further. This workout kick my ass though!! I feel great until about halfway when it catches up to me and totally tires me out, then I have like 5 minutes where I'm really pushing hard then a second wind always seems to come out for the end.

More importantly, today was my prep day for starting P90X!!! That's right ladies and gents, I decided to start P90X before finishing INSANITY so that I have 11 days of double craziness!!! I figured if anything, it's going to push my body to the point where my results will be that much better! So tomorow I start Day 1 of P90X which will be CHEST AND BACK, and AB RIPPER X!

Bring it and Dig Deep!

DAY 50: FIT TEST 4 AND MAX INTERVAL CIRCUIT

WHOOO!!!

I just finished my 4th FIT TEST!!!!!! I improved on ALL exercises once more and still topped my best from last time!!!! I did not know that I could push myself anymore; WOW!!!


After the fit test, I did my MAX INTERVAL CIRCUIT which was harder because I pushed myself so hard on the FIT TEST! But THAT'S what this is all about - DIGGING DEEPER!!!!!!!!

DAY 49: OFF

Today, for the first time in I think 3 weeks, I took an OFF day and it really was an OFF day.

It was great to give my body a rest but I feel lazy not having done anything today!!!

DAY 48: CORE CARDIO AND BALANCE

Sunday was an easy day with only CORE CARDIO AND BALANCE. It was nice to do that workout from the recovery week. I like how a lot of this workout is balance based and it makes you really have to work on contracting your abs! It was an easier day but I think it's because I've been doing MAX INTERVALS that this seemed "easy".

DAY 47: MAX CARDIO CONDITIONING AND CARDIO ABS

Sorry I haven't posted anything since Saturday but it was a very busy weekend!

Saturday was the first time I did the MAX CARDIO CONDITIONING workout followed by CARDIO ABS! It was great! I did really well on the MAX CARDIO CONDITIONING! I love the fact that I'm still improving little by little with each and every workout.... it means that there is NO plateau effect! After MAX CARDIO CONDITIONING i took a little break then went right into CARDIO ABS! I thought at first it was going to be really hard and that my body was going to be really tired but I did well and pushed through to the end of CARDIO ABS!
