I have to say that I'm impressed. Insanity is definitely the best cardio workout I've had. Of course, it's only cardio. I was very disappointed with Cardio Power & Recovery. It's supposed to be resistance training with your body weight, but other than push-ups and some tricep dips there really isn't anything that builds strength. I threw in some P90X the other night just to get some upper body work in.
I was going to follow the Insanity program to the letter for the full 9 weeks just so I could see the results, but now that I've done all of the Month 1 workouts, I'm 100% sure that I'll lose strength. I think I'm going to mix it up a little and add P90X and BBL into the schedule. Of course, there are several hybrid programs out there, but I'm going to custom design one for myself, to fit my needs and my running schedule. I'll post it when I get it done (or figure out how to add a calendar.) I also have a group of friends starting their first round of P90X soon -- can't wait to see their results!
In other news... less than 2 weeks until my vacation! I'm very happy to go back to Virginia if for no other reason than the awesome running trails. My parents live less than a mile away from a Civil War battleground that's been revamped with running trails. Some of them are dirt and through the forest. Others are gravel across fields. There's even two MASSIVE hills. Hopefully, I'll get plenty of running time (you know, when I'm not submerged in their pool.)
Sadly, Hershey Park is on the schedule. I'm not an amusement park sort of gal and I really don't want to gain back what little I've lost because of some stupid chocolate. Don't forget the chocolate bar waiting for us that's bigger than Harper!
