Just ordered the One on One series, thinking of ordering Insanity, too.

 

Starting to think about designing a long-term program for after I finish P90X, and I figure the more material I have to draw from the better.

The feedback I've seen on insanity is that you lose a ton of upper body strength but lean out quite a bit. I'm thinking you need a hybrid.

I wouldn't run through the whole Insanity program I don't think. I would just select a few workouts from it so that I have more than just plyo to draw from for the cardio portion.

 

I've found that I am getting sick of certain workouts in P90X, so I need more material to draw from. So I want to create my own program, from a large body of material, for the long-term. It will be structured similarly to how P90X is, with resistance and cardio workouts intermingled, but I just need more workouts to draw from.

 

So instead of doing plyo every damn week, I want to maybe do that particular workout only once every 3 or 4 weeks. But I want to have a "plyo-like" workout (in it's effectiveness) at least once every week or so. Which is where Insanity comes in. From what I understand, much of that program is plyo in style, so I could select the best 3 or 4 workouts from that program, combine them with my favorite resistance workouts from P90X, as well as workouts as they come in the One-on-One series.

Pretty much sums it up. Like Reddy said it's what you want for your body. I personally want a body like say.. Usher, than a John Cena body.

Damn, Insanity is $120 + $25 s+h....ugh...not sure if I can justify that if I am just going to pull a few workouts from it...

What is the one on one series?

It's a monthly scam, basically. :)

 

It is a workout done by Tony in his home gym.

 

You get 1 per month for $19.95.

 

Not cheap, but I want to build a collection so I can craft a long-term program.

Looks pretty interesting. I agree that insanity looks like it could be a good supplement to a long term program as well, but no at that price. Should be interesting to see what you come out with once it is all said and done

Yeah, I will definitely share with you guys what the program I design ends up looking like.

 

We're all going to need something, so we can bounce ideas off one another and see what works best.

B&B was especially tough tonight, tried to start with too much weight on the 21's.

And my first yoga experience makes me feel terribly uncoordinated.

Probably because you never had rhythm. :P

I did the same thing last night. At least it felt that way.

You guys are really getting me more and more interested in this program. I workout everyday. But it seems like this program could take me to another level. So, like, how much does this cost? And what equipment do I need?

Went ahead and did legs and back this morning. Got up at 4 AM. I'll tell you by the end of the day if I do that again.

 

This wasn't as difficult, as my legs and back are probably what I'm the best at.

 

But, I wanted to go ahead and do it in the morning since I work after teaching today and I don't want to punish myself before I go out for the night....I'd rather just enjoy it.

I did it once at 330 AM too, before work in the morning. I never did it again. Not necessarily because it was harder to do in the morning, but because that is just too damn early to wake up.

 

So Alex, you've got a week under your belt basically. How ya feeling?

I'll probably only do it on Fridays thru the end of spring practice. The way it sets up now, on a Friday, my day is spoken for til about 7 PM. So instead of doing it after dinner, letting dinner sit and working out til 9 or 9:30 PM and miss some relaxation time with my friends, I'll see how knocking it out early goes.

 

I like it so far, it is more than I have been sweating in quite a while. The little excel spreadsheet I downloaded for my version is really nice for keeping track. I didn't realize I should record ab ripper if I wasn't doing the full reps, but between Wednesday and this morning, I've already increased my reps on some of those.

 

I don't know if I'm going 100% all the time, because I'm not trying to completely lean out, but I'm trying and I'd say I'm going about 90% this time thru. I might skip the last rep that they do. But I'm sore all over, so it's working (I think). It's weird, because you'd have thought plyo and yoga would be the easier ones, but they're the ones I've had to pause.

DVDs will be delivered today sometime. Looking forward to getting started on this. What do you guys do on trips? Do you take it with you? I'm being sent out for some training for a week, and am not sure what the best way to keep it going would be.

I have to admit that I was wrong about Yoga X. I hated it at first and found it annoying, but after completing the whole thing this week, I actually like it. I'm glad that I gave it another chance.

Anyone else who does Yoga X here find that their knee(s) go numb during some of the longer moves where you are standing on one leg, such as the triangle pose or Warrior 3 (and the rest of that sequence)?

 

The last few times through it I have felt my right knee numbing up, and it still sort of felt strange last night when I was doing Legs & Beck.

 

Not sure if I should continue with that routine or not...

 

Today is Day 69...only 3 weeks left!

I forgot that I had started this thread.

 

I stuck with it for about three weeks, but then I got busy in my personal life and was thrown off the routine. Planning on starting the program again Monday.

Day 1 done. My arms are shaking still after that... :)
