Hi everyone! Been doing insanity now for three weeks and I'm on my third rest day - three weeks in! Week 4 coming up! I'm pretty stoked!

I've been really having to dig deep doing insanity this past week. Pulled my left wrist in krav maga class, got my nose broken, and my instructor there works our affes off cardio wise (three days a week) - no krav today on a rest day - which is awesome!

I'm a tad sore needless to say - which is good.

I'll be leaving for the US Army this summer for basic training, medic school and airborne/jump school. I'm really worried about not being able to score a 300 on my APFT which is 71 push-ups, 78 locked behind the head sit-ups, and a 2 mile run in under 13:00 minutes.

Out of curiosity - could I add a core abdominal routine from p90x or body beast 1 extra day per week right now? If so, during which routine(s)? Should I just substitute sit-up and push-up sets as a secondary workout?

My sit-ups are a little weak right now - so thinking I may need some extra strength training there. Only able to hit 41 to 50 sit ups in 1 minute (depending on how hard I've hammered myself in workouts that day). I'm also looking for some additional bicep strength (I'm doing pull-ups whenever I come in or out of the house right now)

My muscle groups are nearly gassed at the end of one minute rocking them out doing push ups and sit ups. (I still have another minute to go).

Any advice? I'm wondering if I should switch to a p90x/insanity hybrid right now as opposed to later... Any routine advice for maximizing push-ups and sit ups? Or just do AbRipper-X 13 days a week?

I need the cardio and endurance obviously for the years to come, but I'd love to maximize muscle strength/endurance as well - before I ship out!

Thanks for your help everyone!

Hi Christina! Thanks for your help!

I'm currently running 2-3 days a week. I know it should be more - but SO tired.

I've got the following going on:

• high school still
• homework
• high school weight training *its over in 3 days! yeah!*
• krav maga 3 days a week
• girlfriend *she is really irritated with me - due to my busy schedule*
• future soldiers training/PT once a week
• Insanity at 5:30am every day

I can knock out my two mile in just under 14:00 right now if I commit to throwing up

I was watching the p90x Chest and Back & Chest and Shoulders videos... I SO need those in my routine. I also really need to be running 4 days a week. You are absolutely right though, Insanity has gotten me running much faster in my one mile sprints - but I need more "on the track" time.

I'm thinking about the hybrid and maybe substituting two programs a week to a long run. I love plyo and core syn - so I don't want to scrap those

I'll pull up the hybrid calendar and see if I can tweak it. I have the feeling I've got a morning workout and an evening run no matter what I try otherwise it will be unbalanced...

Any ideas? If I commit to the hybrid program should I take a 3 day recovery doing Core Cardio and Balance before starting?

Whatcha think?

Oh and yes, you should recover slightly after doing Insanity to going to the hybrid. Either doing their recover workouts or running should do.

Hi! What results have you seen? Are you looking to gain muscle? What do you mean my definition? How much are you eating?

Cheers,
Christina
