P90X Vs Insanity Extreme Workouts

Photo Beachbody.com
If you ever wondered what the difference in these two programs are, here it is broken down:
www.examiner.com/x-28813-St-Louis-Fitness-Trends-Examiner~y2010m7d30-Extreme-workouts-P90X-Vs-Insanity


P90X is dumbbell weight training/strength training. Personally if you like variety, P90X may be the one you want. Plus you can really modify it very easily. There is only 2 plyo (jumping) workouts, Cardio X and Plyometics.

Insanity is body weight training. It has more of the same moves over and over, (think jumping jacks and high knees) with each workout and very much harder on the knees and back. More bending over and jumping, and not much difference in each of the style of workouts.

Hey, I don't consider myself a whimp either....
... at 119lbs I:

Bench 70lbs
Cable row 70lb
Asst Pullup 65-70lb
Curl 25lb
Squat 60lb
Leg Press 120-140lb
Clean press 50-60lb

But both workouts are effective and will get you results like any workout if you stick with them. So check it out and let me know your thoughts.......

ps:
I am on round 3 of P90X and did Insanity for 1 week and stopped because of my knees.

P90X Round 3 Lean Day 4 Core Synergistics

Hello Tony Horton......I'm back! and fully committed for another round of extreme fitness with you .

I was going to start Insanity August first, but have decided not do to this program due to my knees. I have only did 1 full week of Insanity, and its a great program if you can do a lot of jumping.

Since my surgery I had to take almost 3-4 weeks off extreme workouts and packed back on my body fat that I lost *sigh and feel I lost strength. Yup, back on my meal plan (my meal plan is written by a nutritionist/trainer in NY) which also should show major improvements.

I was rowing 75lb easily and doing glute press of 55lb now I have scaled back to 55lb and 45lbs until I can build back up to do 8-10 reps. For my home workouts I will be using 15lb - 25lb dumbbells.

So the good news is......that my arm feels much better and I am able to do pullups and pushups again. I have not done any heavy lateral lifts and will continue light until I have progressed enough being mindful of that injury.

What is the program I am going to do?

P90X Round 3 Lean. (First round was P90X Lean, then P90X Classic now P90X Lean)

I started last week and here is how my workouts will be for the next phase.

Monday - Off day (yoga, stretch, hula hooping, walking)
Tuesday through Friday - P90X Round 3 Lean
Saturday at the gym
Sunday at the gym

I'm super happy about this plan, and ready for big changes since I have 2 weeks till my reunion.

I went to the chiropractor last night and I feel better today, still stiff. You should have heard the noise my goodness I was out of whack! He worked on my shoulder and I think it feels better too so that's a blessing. Gonna have him do that again, its my shoulder at the lateral.

The Supraspinatus, you can find that on this link. http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio201/muscle/arm/shldra.htmHere is what it says about it.

Rupture of the supraspinatus tendon The supraspinatus runs along the top of the shoulder blade and inserts at the top of the arm (humerus bone). This muscle is used to lift the arm up sideways and is also important in throwing sports as it is the muscle that holds the arm in the shoulder joint when you release what you are throwing. This is why I have trouble with lateral lifts and deep push ups...owie!

I do like this site for information, I even book marked it since its so good.

I'm excited to say that we are going Belly Dancing tonight again and I can't wait. I get to meet my girlfriends friend that is in visiting, she is going with us. I want to wear the fancy wrap too. It was a late night last night and I had to go out of town so I missed SYTYCD I was so disappointed. I got home at 9pm, and I left the house at 7.30am so I was very glad to be home. But by the time I got my lunch made, and showered it was almost 10pm and a 1/2 hour of reading then I could NOT sleep.

I could not get comfy which is normal after an adjustment, I think it was about midnight when I feel asleep and got up at 7am today.

Just 1 more recovery workout and I am an official P90X Grad, and and now its back to the gym. Off to get the Rockstar Body........
