]]> Today I am restarting the P90X / Insanity workout challenge. For those of you who are new to my blog, abut six week ago I began this challenge and got about 17 workouts into it when pneumonia landed me in the hospital. So fast forward six weeks and here I am. I have been cleared by the doctor to resume “normal” life.

Some of you may be wondering if doing both workouts contributed to me developing pneumonia. I was wondering the same thing so I asked the doc. He said that it would be highly unlikely that this would occur. His exact words were that ” I would have to be beating myself into a pulp for this to occur.” Maybe I should have told him more about the workout…

I have decided to restart my workout adventure today. I am going to take it slow though. I have discovered that by not working out for 6 weeks, along with having pneumonia, has really set me back. I am really out of shape. I am going to begin by doing the P90X workouts for two weeks and then insert in the Insanity workouts. To insert the Insanity workouts I am just going to take out the P90X’s cardio workouts (plyometrics, yoga, kenpo x, and cardio x) and insert the Insanity workouts. I will burn around 1,000 calories more per week by doing this. I feel that I will get a completely ripped body by doing this workout for 90 days.

Check back tomorrow to see how my workout went!

]]> 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.
