Friends had asked me to join them in P90X and held off their start date so that I could join them on November 1st. Over the next 90 days I watched
my body transform into it's most fit state ever. The muscle tone and firm core, that I could not get from running 50 miles a week, was the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
My hubby joined me in P90X and was also ecstatic with his results. He wanted to do it all over again as soon as we finished, but I urged him to try Insanity with me because of the shorter workouts.
Insanity
Day 1 - fitness test. Day 2 - Plyometric Cardio Circuit. I felt like this guy after the 10 minute warm up
Day 3 - Cardio Power and Resistance. I almost didn't die during the warm up.
Day 4 - Cardio Recovery - Who does this many squats during recovery? This is INSANE!
Day 5 - Pure Cardio - This is where the name Insanity comes from. OMG I thought I was in shape.
Day 6 - back to Plyo Cardio - The warm up is getting easier.
Day 7 - REST (not really in my vocabulary)
By day 8 I wasn't feeling like I was going to die anymore in the warmup and really started to enjoy the workouts. I don't want to compare P90X to Insanity until I complete the program. Until then here are some basics
