P90X Spreadsheet
I’ve gotten some questions on how to use the P90X excel spreadsheet so I decided I’d make a video to show everyone the basics of getting it setup. I don’t personally use this spreadsheet, but a lot of people do and they love using it to help keep them on the right path and to track their progress with the P90X workout.

P90X Round 2 DONE
Phewww! It’s been a crazy week so far, but I’m happy to announce that I officially finished round 2 of the P90X workout last Saturday! So I guess that means I now have my masters in P90X!?! :-) This round seemed like it flew by even faster than the first round! It feels great to finish and I’m extremely excited to start the P90X Insanity Hybrid that I put together.
After this round of P90X, I’m definitely in even better shape now than what I was after my first round. My reps for the most part have increased overall during the exercises, and I continually pushed myself to use heavier weight. During the first round of P90X I think I may have focused a little too hard on increasing my reps, which caused me to develop bad habits. During this round my wife (Jen) helped me discover that I had pretty bad form during the pull up exercises. I had developed a bad habit of not going all the way down during my pull ups so I could go back up faster and do more reps. I didn’t even realize I was doing this, but Jen pointed it out to me during one of the Back workouts.
P90X Week 13
Jen doing her P90X Pull Ups!
I am officially at the last week of my second round of the P90X workout! My wife Jen is also back from her mission trip to Buckingham, Virginia! :-) She went there with a pretty big group from her church to help do home repairs for people in need in the community. Check out the picture of her showing off her pull ups to everyone on a tree limb!
She is home for about a week and then she is leaving again to go to Jamaica for a week on another mission trip! This trip she is going with a smaller group from her church. She loves helping out others, and I’m extremely proud of her for what she’s been doing.
So back to P90X! Last week should have been an awesome week of workouts since it was the last week of the main workouts, but honestly I don’t feel I did my best during some of the workouts. As you may have read during my P90X Week 12 update post I started the week off not having much motivation to workout. I still did the workout and pushed through it, but it was a constant mental battle. Then on Thursday (Legs & Back day), it wasn’t that I didn’t want to workout, it just wasn’t on the top of my priority list. When I finally started doing the workout, I honestly probably only gave 50% effort. I did just enough to get by so I could get the workout done and continue with the things I needed to get done.
P90X Insanity Hybrid
Ok, so I’ve finally made my decision on what I’m going to do when I finish my second round of the P90X workout. I decided that I’m going to do a P90X Insanity hybrid. After doing almost 180 days of P90X, I really need some type of change and I need to step up the intensity in my cardio workouts. I love the resistance workouts in P90X, so I figured combining P90X and Insanity would be the next best step for me.
I created a P90X Insanity Hybrid schedule and I wanted to share it with everyone. Below is my schedule for the next 90 days-
