Insanity or P90X/Insanity Hybrid?
It is so crazy how fast the second round of my P90X workout has gone by! At the end of this week, I’ll only have 2 more weeks left of P90X. With not much time left, I figured it was about time that I finally make a decision on whether I should do a straight round of Insanity or do a P90X/Insanity Hybrid. I’ve been doing P90X Classic for about 6 months now, so some type of change would be really nice. Since I already own Insanity (it came with my Diamond Pack) I figured it would be a good program to move onto so I can improve my biggest weakness- cardio.
I’ve been debating this in my head for quite some time so I really want to just make a decision so I can put it to rest. My thoughts are that maybe I should do a straight round of Insanity so I can say that I’ve done it, so I can improve my endurance when it comes to cardio exercises, and so I can get a chance to do the entire program. The only thing is, I love Tony Horton’s personal training style, I love the resistance training in P90X, and I have finally started to gain some muscle mass from P90X. With my body type (very high metabolism) it is very difficult for me to gain muscle mass unless I eat lots and lots of food. So to gain some mass is a huge accomplishment for me and I really don’t want to lose it. My fear is if I do a straight round of Insanity I would lose the muscle mass that I have gained.

Does P90X Really Work?
Ok, so you’ve just heard a friend talking about the P90X workout, or you saw an infomercial for P90X Saturday morning while you were eating your Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. You’re probably wondering, does P90X really work? The very short and simple answer is- Yes! However, your success with P90X does depend on several factors.
P90X Pictures
So Jen and I just finished week 8 of our P90X workout on Saturday. We are now in week 9, which is Phase 3 of P90X (the very last Phase)! I know I say this over and over again, but it’s so crazy how fast this second round of P90X has gone by! This is Jen’s first round of P90X, but she said it has still flown by for her too.
Yesterday we finally had some time to take updated P90X pictures and to retake our measurements. We unfortunately forgot take new pictures at the end of Phase 2, so we only have pictures from the beginning of P90X, and from yesterday to compare. Jen has made some awesome improvements from the beginning of P90X! A few highlights of Jen’s results so far- lost 1.5 inches around her waist, lost 1.75 inches around her hips, and lost 1 inch in her thighs. Also, for the very first time on Sunday, Jen did her first ever pull up without using a chair! I am extremely proud of what she has accomplished so far!
P90X Recovery Drink Alternative
I’ve gotten numerous emails from people asking me for a good P90X Recovery drink alternative when doing the P90X workout. About 2 months prior to starting P90X for the very first time I started going to the gym 5 to 6 days a week. It was then when I started to scour the market for a good recovery drink to take after my workouts. I very quickly discovered the P90X Results and Recovery Formula. I ordered a tub of it and I LOVED it! It tasted so good after a strenuous cardio workout or after lifting weights. It also helped reduce muscle soreness, and it gave me the energy and nutrients I needed after a tough workout.
