Oh boy, I really can't handle another Tonya...! Also, I'm quite sure that Tony is wearing makeup in the ab workout. Almost positive in fact

Hahahhhaha!!!!! Wow!! That little girl? A little beginning with bu and ending with ki? :fp:

Yup. There was some of that for sure! She was really good at "multi-tasking" too.
For such a small woman....well, I better stop!

Oh my goodness

Hahahaha!

Yeah, most of those arm exercises are really good!

So I did shoulders/arms/abs last night. Awesome workout, very doable and thorough! I think next time I'll have to up my weights though. I started with 8's just because I wasn't sure what to expect and I'm not very sore at all. Gonna bump it to 10's next week and keep the reps at 12-15.

Yoga tonight. God help me!

next time, when you do the 2nd Mary Catherine Lunges, think "Deep".

I tried to go as deep as I could...I do lunges every few days as it is anyway...but good grief do those have to be so close to the end of the workout?!!!!

lol, I meant the song.

So...I did the yoga last Thursday...good grief I think Tony Horton was trying to kill me! Seriously wayyyyy too long. I've never done yoga before, so it was pretty funny and I was flailing everywhere, but it was fun and I'm sure with practice I'll get better.

Then I got an awful stomach bug and haven't been able to work out since :x Legs/back tonight, I'm stoked, I love leg workouts!

If the stomach bug didn't take it out of you, Legs and Back sure will!
Have fun!

Yeah, now in my second week of Insanity, I can honestly say that P90x is the better overall workout program. Insanity is a sweat-fest and I'm sure I'll lose some weight, but P90x just really works EVERYTHING really well.

I'm gonna complete Insanity and I figure in another month and a half it'll start to get warm here...I may just roll right into P90x2. Need a good summer indoor workout. Anyone on here have the second one?

Yeah I totally agree. I can see why people use them together. Insanity also gets boring because it's the same couple workouts every day.

I had Kenpo yesterday - absolutely loved it! I used to take a very similar class at a local gym so I was familiar with all the movements. I have to say I'm really really enjoying this program!

Do you picture the P90x guy talking directly to you while you are following along to the DVDs?

Alright...Shannon... here's Shannon...

Shannon the Cannon! Alright.... keep moving...

Shannon the Cannon goes BOOM!

That's good. I'm sooooooo bored with Insanity already. It's a good workout and I'm gonna stick to it....but my god it's the same shit over and over! :x

Ugh bummer! Yeah it is quite repetitive and gets boring quickly. After your recovery week you'll kick it up for a bit, so that will be a change of pace at least. I was tempted to get Shaun T's abs workout thing for a minute there but I'm sure it's just as repetitive.

I was going well on Insanity, it was getting repetitive though. I got bronchitis pretty bad that Im still seeing lingering affects from.

Seeing Mamasan's raving approval makes me want to do the p90s again. Maybe Ill do one of the hybrids. Pretty sure they substitute Plyo and Kenpo, and some Yoga with Insanity workouts.

To me that would be perfect! I would probably stick with the Kenpo because I like it so much, but switching the Plyo and Yoga for Pure Cardio and Insanity Plyo sounds like a good mix.

Hope you feel better soon!

So, how coordinated do you have to be for this? I have trouble following along with something on tv, and am completely uncoordinated. I've been on the elliptical every day for 9 weeks (because i cant fall off) but it's not doing much for me.
