Today’s workout was Insanity’s core cardio and balance workout. Overall the workout is one of the easier ones. It begins with the cardio portion which isn’t too difficult compared to the other Insanity workouts. The balance portion is the last part of the workout. I have to say that this is more challenging than the cardio portion.

Today’s workout was the P90x’s Kempo X workout. I have read in some people’s blogs that they really don’t like this workout and I have to say that you get what you put into it. First off it is a nice change of pace. There are completely different body movements compared to the other workouts. Also, I have found that if you wear hand weights that the workout is extremely intensified. I purchased Beachbody’s hand weights and have never regretted buying them. They don’t weigh that much, only .75 pounds each, but wearing those for an hour of punching and you will feel the difference for sure.

Today’s workout was Insanity’s plyometric workout. Again, this workout is extremely tough. It usually gets my heart rate up to around 170 for the duration of the workout.  When I was done I was soaked in sweat and felt like I just ran a mini-marathon.

Today’s workout was the P90X Chest/Back workout. Two new developments today: The first is that I did today’s workout without the video and it took me half the time. I went ahead and followed the workout sheets and it helped the workout go much quicker. I saved a lot of time between reps when Tony is usually showing us how strong he his or talking his face off. Unfortunately chest/back is one of the few workouts that has all of the exercises on the workout sheets.

The second development is that my push-up reps are increasing dramatically. Today’s workout has me doing normal, military, wide, diamond, decline, and dive-bomber push-ups 2x each. I ended up doing 175 push-ups in the 12 sets. Not too bad. The easiest push-ups are the normal ones of course and the toughest ones have got to be the dive-bomber push-ups. Whenever I do dive-bombers I think of Catherina Zeta Jones in this movie in which she played a burglar, opposite of Sean Connery, in which she is forced to contort herself through these lasers. I just can’t shake it. Oh well. To top off my workout I also did 20 minutes of an Insanity workout today. My wrestlers did it for 20 minutes so I decided to show them that a 33 year-old man can do it too.
