P90x / Insanity Hybrid Day 1 – Forgot how tough P90x was… plus update pics and some resources.
As the title indicates, this new round of P90x was a shock to the system. Not having done any serious weight training until a few days ago (with Shaun T.’s Upper Body dvd), Chest and Back today was kinda a rude awakening. I’m using the 20 pound dip belt for all the bar work and 50 pound dumbells for the lawn mowers and heavy pants. Needless to say my rep counts are quite a ways lower than they were before. For some of the bar work, I just could not get past 5-6 reps as my arms had hit their limit. Oh well, something to improve upon!
In any case, I took some pictures recently of my torso after this round of Insanity. Again they are self taken so… yeah, my horrible photography skills shine through! Of like the 8 photos I took, only 2 or 3 were even remotely in focus. Here they are:
Apologies that they are basically the same pose… but I tried to take shots of my back and they were even worse. If you hit the tag ‘Pictures’ on the side you can see previous photos I had taken of myself. I dunno, I feel like I have a slightly more definition but it’s hard to notice because of the horrible camera work. My ultimate goal aside from losing more body fat % this round is to bulk up the musculature. Gotta concentrate on that protein intake.
Peace!
Oh yeah… I just recently typed these up. They are basically P90x Workout Tracking Sheets I made as a Word document. I remember trying to find such sheets on the net when starting P90x but had no luck. All I ever turned up were either Excel spreadsheets or the original logging sheets that came with the dvd package (which, incidentally, don’t give you enough space to put comments on should you want to write down more than your reps and load). So here… highlight, copy and paste into a Word program and you should be set to go. Hope these help somebody!

Hi Fitness Ninja–nice to see someone who is not a Team Beachbody Coach, review the programs. Would you mind sharing your experiences for my viewers and submitting your results on my website? http://www.home-fitness-workouts.com/beachbody-insanity.html or http://www.home-fitness-workouts.com/p90x-reviews.html I would SO appreciate that if you have time. Thanks! Looking forward to reading more about your progress!
Not a problem. I wouldn’t mind sharing my reviews on your site. Do you just want to cut and paste what I wrote? I dunno if there is any specific formatting you need but feel free to put it on your site. If you don’t mind though, could you put a link from the review to my blog. It always feels good to know people are reading about my exercise journey! Take care and good luck with your site! Contact me again if you need anything else.
Ah nuts… I just tried to submit my blog to your site but it said something about character / word limits. I think it’s too long just to submit as is. If you can find another way to have it posted just tell me and I will try again! Peace!
