I will be 50 years old in Nov. 2012. I have been working with these programs for 2 years. I started with P90X (not the best choice for me) and completed it to the best of my ability 3 times. I then switched to Insanity to prove I could do it (and for the cardio). I did finish it and did fairly well with it, too.

I have almost completed the Chalean Extreme program and have decided that a mix of weights and cardio is the best fit for me. I like the slower reps but heavier weights philosophy of this program. During December, I plan to mix in some Julian Michaels cardio workouts and running on the treadmill because it will be a little less of a time commitment.

I have given up on "losing" weight on the scale because if you gain muscle, you are not going to lose weight on the scale plus with my age, my metabolism seems to be in a lull. I am concentrating on gaining muscle and losing fat. I eat a 90% plant based diet and fill in the other 10% with some chicken and seafood. I love to play tennis (thus, my screen name) and I'm determined to stay healthy and fit so that I can play tennis injury-free for many, many more years. I'm married and have 4 beautiful children.

After the new year, I plan to do a hybrid of P90X and Insanity to see how much I can improve with both of those programs now that I am stronger. Insanity did help me lose weight/fat before so I am hoping it will be a nice mix with P90X on my no weight lifting days.

Overall since beginning this journey, I have lost some fat. However, I have more to lose so I continue to reach for my goal numbers.
