P90x

RKCNDY

I have a confession...and I feel really guilty about it.

I have an addiction

to avocados

I have eaten a WHOLE avocado every day...for the last 5 days...in a row.

I did eat baby spinach, romaine, celery, and bell peppers to even it out. The salads were topped with tuna or a salmon patty.

But I still feel guilty about all the fat I had this week...

damn avocados taste so good.

avocado sounds good too

Started my p90x, p90x+, and Insanity Hybrid yesterday.
Went well. Did the Chest, Back, Ab X workout. It was pretty tough to hit where I left off because I took about 10 days off... and I had played 4 hockey games in the past 3 days.

The Insanity Hybrid is from P90X, right?

P90X/P90X+/Hybrid: Im going to give this combination a go in the morning.

MayDay10, Do you do the three all together or throughout the day so you can take in food in-between rounds?

I don't think there is an official beachbody hybrid, but on the site or on google, it is easy to find people's creations and its just a matter of choosing what you like.

You still do one workout a day. It just sprinkles insanity and p90+ in there. Tomorrow I have to do insanity max recovery instead of yoga for instance.

You could probably create or find a doubles schedule too. For me, for now im still running and getting ready for my half marathon

Right, it is the combination of the two, P90X & Insanity. (Hybrid: The combination of two things)
I was thrown off there for some reason.

Anyway, yes, I have looked at some programs individuals have made. It is definitely intense.

Here is one of the first schedules that comes up:

I'm finally seeing the scale go down. Took about 30 days. Inches coming off tho.

I am sore today for some reason. Really sore. My lower back hurts (probably due to age :evil: and the crappy weather) in other words it isn't new, I did 16 years of gymnastics so my aches and pains in my back and knees are whats left of that pummeling.
I was going to do my workout early morning because I have a dinner after work but I slept maybe a few hours last night and it would be useless really. Taking the day off (my first) and will add Kenpo onto my stretch schedule tomorrow.

Hey, I just finished P90X 2 - Chest + Back + Balance. Holy shit!
I pressed paused 4 times. I have never done so many chin-up exercises in my life. The 'lever' is great!
For the push-ups with feet up and hands on the medicine balls ( medicine balls :shock: *I just used push-up bars), I used two cases of bottled water to elevate myself instead of the medicine balls and a chair. It worked fine.

Combining insanity together with P90X 2 will most likely be next week sometime. I'm interested to experience the day after with the routine from today. My chest, arms and back are so pumped right now with blood flow. wow!

Making a schedule with the right combinations will be tricky (I think).

Schedule: Day 7 on the last phase IS crazy!

Rock on!

I havent tried X2 yet. I am going to get more mileage out of what I have and get/do X2 next winter.

I always thought it would be fun to do 90 days of picking the workouts out of a hat (between X, X+, X2, Insanity). I think I might get Asylum too.

Nice work getting (almost) to 30 days Sprnkin. Glad to see you are finding measurable results. Just tighten up and focus on getting the most you can out of every workout, and get the diet as good as possible and the results will snowball.
Getting past 30 days seems to be a point that separates most of those who dont finish.

I did my first Insanity workout this morning... "Max Recovery". It was set in the schedule in place of Yoga. It was a decent :47 minute replacement honestly. It was like a cross between Yoga and Core Synergistics. Wasnt all that intense, but some of the moves definitely burned.

I think I want to do an Insanity p90 Hybrid next go around myself.

can't wait for my chocolate Shakeology to arrive. That seriously is the best "shake" I ever had. I didn't Want to like it! But damn it was soooo good! Bastards....making me spend money :fp:

Did plyocide and Ab ripper 2. My body hurts. I'm taking a nap.

I wanted to mention the documentary 'Forks over Knives'
It should be viewed by people taking protein. Watch the documentary!!!

Some Yoga inspiration...

I'm glad I stuck with it!

I'm going to start a 3x a week program for about a month and then start another round. Someone was kind enough to send me a copy of P90x2...but I can't get it to play correctly on my DVD player. :(

Wow, did not expect to see DDP (former wrestler) as his yoga instructor. Good for him for believing in him.

And sorry about the dvd, as I said before, the file is compressed so it will only work on the pc, PS3 or a blu-ray player.

And as a side note, I haven't been doing the workouts for this program, but have been doing light exercises maybe once or twice a week since February and have lost 25 pounds just by changing my diet.

I've cut out most sugars and fats including potatoes, corn, bread, white rice (because they convert into sugar and get stored in the body.) I eat a small meal every 2 hours which helps with metabolism and burning fat. Oatmeal almost every morning because it binds with fat already stored and flushes it out.

True, but fat (moderation, lets not get crazy here) doesn't make us fat. Sugar makes us fat and anything that turns into a sugar ( example carbohydrate) is stored as fat if it's not burned as fuel. Alcohol slows the process. So what drives me crazy about the BB (even P90X) diet is it uses "low Fat" cheese and dressings mayo blah blah....bad IMO. Most low fat food is full of sugar.....sugar = bad.
So yes, if I make a burger I'll go 90/10 if I eat a steak I cut off the excess visible fat. But skin on chicken...absolutely I eat that. Egg yolks...yup, regular Blue cheese dressing you bet.

Congrats the the weight loss, if it works for you thats great! Fat is essential for our bodies and especially our brain! And in an intense program like P90X carbs are too. If your not doing the workouts you don't need extra carbs. It's just a bitch finding the perfect maintaining weight carb balance. Drives me nuts!
