If you've been keeping up with me here at Graceful Coach, you may have picked up that the last three months, I have been doing a ChaLEAN Extreme and TurboFire Hybrid Workout. Because I do get bored easily, and I can tell I am ready to hit the weights even harder, I am back to the super intensity strength training of P90x & the crazy cardio work of Insanity...with a little bit of TurboFire splashed in there for fun!
So how would you go about making an effecting hybrid of these workouts? Well, here is my tentative schedule for the next ten weeks should you want to do something similar:
Weeks 1-3: Sunday OR Monday: P90x Chest & Back
Tuesday: Insanity Max Intervals*
Wednesday: P90x Shoulders & Arms
Thursday: Insanity Max Interval Plyo*
Friday: P90x Legs & Back & Insanity Pure Cardio
*May interchange these with Insanity Max Interval Sports Training for variety.
**Will also throw in the longer TurboFire Workouts (Fire 45, Fire 55 EZ, Fire 45 EZ, & Fire 60) the days I don't do Chest & Back and/or as an evening workout and some other DVDs as needed (Jillian, Tae Bo, Pilates, etc.) Am also hoping to keep my running in at least 2x a week for all ten weeks as I get used to my VFFs.
Beginning of Week 4: Not set in stone, but will likely do about 3-4 days worth of the recovery DVDs such as P90x Core Synergistics & Insanity Core Cardio & Balance & Max Recovery.
End of Week 4 to Sunday of Week Week 7:
Wednesday: P90x Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps & TurboFire HiIT ?
Thursday: Insanity Max Cardio
Friday: P90x Back & Biceps & Insanity Plyometric Circuit
Sunday: P90x Legs & Back & TurboFire HiIT ?
Monday: Insanity Power & Resistance
Tuesday: TurboFire ?
Monday-Wednesday of Week 7: Similar to Recovery time at the beginning of Week 4. May add Tony Horton's One-on-One Plyo Legs as that is actually relatively easy with lots of breaks and no weights needed.
End of Week 7, 9
Wednesday: Insanity Max Intervals
Thursday: TurboFire ?
Friday: P90x Chest & Back & Insanity Pure Cardio
Sunday: P90x Shoulders & Arms
Monday: Insanity Max Interval Plyo
Tuesday: P90x Legs & Back
End of Week 8, 10
Wednesday: Insanity Max Intervals
Thursday: TurboFire ?
Friday: P90x Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps & Insanity Pure Cardio
Sunday: P90x Back & Biceps
Monday: Insanity Max Interval Plyo
Tuesday: P90x Legs & Back
I would have preferred to do this over thirteen weeks (the last week is actually more recovery so really twelve weeks of hard work) but since Christmas comes sooner than that, I wanted to go ahead and get done with the program so I had no breaks. It is rather intense as I shortened the recovery weeks for after the first and second phases but I think it will be okay (I've done it before with no issues, fyi.)
Although I do like a set schedule, I am pretty flexible so this might change up as I get into it to suit how I feel that day but at least I have the "bones" of the workout and have a pretty good plan in place. I would not recommend this if you have never done P90x and/or Insanity *unless* you are in terrific shape since it is rather intense. Also, make sure to eat the calories you need or you will run out of steam really quick--and make sure they are quality calories--no "nasty food" as Tony Horton says.
So wish me luck and hope I can stick as close to this schedule as possible! :)
