After finishing P90X in less than stellar form, I am invigorated again and have started INSANITY.  After only 4 days, I am feeling a high degree of muscle soreness in my calves.  The workouts themselves are very intense and I find myself absolutely spent afterwards...but in a good way!  I really enjoy the workouts so far and am already considering how I can incorporate them into an extended exercise routine when I repeat P90X again as my primary program.

I also started performing select resistance routines from P90X.  I figure that I can do Phase 1 of P90X in conjunction with this first month of INSANITY.  I did Chest/Back on Monday.  I had intended to perform Shoulders/Arms yesterday, but was exhausted after work.  I will perform that routine on Friday.  I have also decided to omit the leg routine since I am feeling every movement during the course of the day after the INSANITY workouts.  The goal is to keep gaining even small amounts of muscle during this, primarily, cardio program.

Just finished Phase 2 of P90X and I am down another 12 lbs and have dropped 3 inches off my waist and 1 inch off my hips since the end of Phase 1. This brings my total weight loss to 26 lbs (in 8 weeks!) since starting P90X. Phase 3 will begin tomorrow and I am adding SHAKEOLOGY to my nutritional plan. I am excited to see what kind of changes I can achieve in Phase 3...BRING IT!

2 days into my recovery week and I am excited about starting Phase 3 very shortly.  Although I have not seen as dramatic a decrease in overall weight as I did in Phase 1, Phase 2 seems to have added a bit of definition to my physique.  I have noticed that my pants are fitting more loosely and that my chest, arms, back and especially legs are significantly more "pumped".  This Sunday, I will take my Day 60 pictures and measurements to verify what I seem to be seeing.  I have heard others mention that Phase 3 is where the most significant changes in P90X occur, so I am hoping the same will be true for myself.
