This year seems like nothing I had planned worked out the way it was suppose to. Had planned on a complete Insanity program after finishing my One on One hybrid in May. but as life would have it I hurt my back and came down with sciatica (pinched sciatic nerve in the back due to a bulging disk). For two month I could do nothing but light yoga to work on rehabiliting my back. For the first two weeks even that was excruiating and I was afraid my time with the workouts was over. However, being determined not to let an injury stand in my way I played it smart and resisted the urge to jump into Insanity right after I got better. I completed four weeks of a One on One program that did not include any jumping like plyometrics but plenty of good old fashion weight lifting with Diamond Delts, Just Arms, Upper Body Balance, 30:15, plyo legs without the jumps and twice a week low impact interval cardio. On July 27th I was finally ready for my long awaited Insanity /P90X hybrid program and have just completed Phase I. I have become much stronger and my stamina now even surprises me. I can eat much more food now as well and still not gain anything due to the high calorie expenditure. I absolutely love this program. I still have to take some of the intense high jumps out and modify on those to protect my back but other then that I have no problems keeping up. I'll be done with this program towards the end of October and if all goes well and my back is still good to go I will do a complete round of Insanity to finish up the year.

Hang in there! Sciatica is horrible, I suffered a stint with it and honestly don't know how you are doing what you are doing!

Keep up the good work!
