So day 5 (Legs & Back) of my 3rd round of P90x is complete.  As mentioned before, I am doing a hybrid with Insanity this time through.  Now it has been literally 4+ months since I have done this workout.  So I was a bit scared. :).  Well more nervous than anything.  Because, when your done with this workout, if your really pushing yourself, you’ll be just sloppy legged by the end.  :). 

And there was no exception to that today. I was feeling pretty spent by the end of the 58 minutes of Legs and Back tonight.  Even after going 2 full rounds of Insanity which focused on cardio and a large amount of plyo work, my legs were still exhausted by the end of this workout. Which I was glad to have.  Shows that you can continue to push yourself harder in different programs, plus, that muscle confusion and variety help to continue to push your fitness level.

You start with a brief warm-up (high knees, run in place, jumping jacks, head roll, windmills, hugs and shrugs).  From there you go into basically 25 moves each with varying lengths of time.  Some are to max reps, others are set to specific # of reps or sets.  Here is a sampling of the exercises.   Balance lunge, calf raise squats, wide front pull ups, alternating side lunge, single leg wall squat, mountain climbers, reverse grip chin ups, sumo (aka grocho) walk and more.  Alternating between working on the legs and the back each time throughout the entire workout.

On top of Legs and Back I did the Cardio Abs workout from Insanity.  This is another one that kind of sneaks up on you.  Sure, a mere 16 minutes. But it works your core from so many angles that it is highly effective.  By the time I got to the low/high plank move at the end, I was ready to be done. :). 

As always, tony Horton was fun.  He finds a way to keep you motivated and engaged during the entire routine and wanting to push hard for each exercise in the routine.   “What is your soup?”

So think about that motivation that gets you going each and everyday to press play.  If you haven’t quite found that motivation yet, let’s find it.  We all work off of different factors that help to get us excited to want to be healthy and fit.  The majority of it needs to come from within. External factors help, but in the end it is YOU that has to put the disc in and press that button.  I’m here to help you figure out what works.  As a beachbody coach it is my goal to work with you and figure out the things that will do this.  Contact me, let’s transform ourselves both physically and mentally into the people we want to be.   If your interested in P90x, let me know. I can definitely fill you in on the details or you can go to my P90x Information page which can get you started.
