P90X/Insanity Hybrid Program
I have been doing Insanity for almost a full month now and I love it!
As a two-time graduate, I also love P90X!
The other day I was thinking about what I’ll do when I complete Insanity, and naturally, my first thought was: “Why not combine P90X and Insanity!?!?!”
That alone was all I needed to run with the idea. So, when I finish Insanity, I plan to do a custom P90X/Insanity hybrid program. First I need to plan it all out though, which will take some time and careful thought. The basis of my idea so far is to do the weight training of P90X, and on cardio days, do Insanity. That’s as far as I’ve taken the idea to this point, but count on future posts which elaborate on the idea as it continues to develop.
This is a concept you can implement yourself as well. Maybe you have a different Beachbody program like Chalean Extreme or 10 Minute Trainer, and you’re ready to move on to something else. Why not create your own custom workout using the two programs and maximize the return on your investment? Your body will thank you for it!

P90X Results and Recovery Formula
Did you know that after a hard workout your body needs some essential vitamins and nutrients? It does.
There is a time frame of about one hour after working out where your body is primed for accepting vital nutrients to help muscles repair and aid their growth. It is critical that you provide your body with these core nutrients it is craving after exercise.
An extremely convenient and effective solution is to mix up a glass of P90X Results and Recovery Formula. It is an after-workout drink containing all the essential vitamins and nutrients your body needs after a hard workout, such as P90X or Insanity. It also makes a great before-workout drink! Do you have sore muscles from working out? The P90X Results and Recovery Formula helps with that too!
To top it all off: this stuff tastes absolutely delicious – really, it tastes like liquid Fruity Pebbles!
How can you go wrong with that?

Insanity: Cardio Recovery Review
Cardio Recovery
Welcome to the third Insanity workout review from Fit Help Now!
Shaun T’s Cardio Recovery is a nice change of pace! You do the usual warmup routine, but this time you take it a little easy afterward. It’s still a good workout, and you WILL sweat, but it’s a much lighter day in order to let your muscles recover.
Cardio Recovery has you do some light jogging and then is mostly Yoga. First, Shaun T gets your legs burning with a good combination of squats and “deep muscle” lunges. Then you finish up strong with some squat pulse exercises. In the Yoga routines, you do mostly balance postures and stretching.
Overall, this workout is challenging, yet definitely a good recovery. The majority of this workout will be very familiar to any P90X graduate who remembers X Stretch and Yoga X.

Insanity: Cardio Power & Resistance Review
Cardio Power & Resistance
Welcome to the second Insanity workout review from Fit Help Now!
Cardio Power & Resistance starts off with the usual warmup routine, running through it three times, each time with higher intensity.
This is one workout where I really think Shaun T falls short on stretching.
Today I actually hurt my shoulder doing some of the push-ups and I really think it was just due to not stretching my shoulders enough. So I strongly recommend taking the time before this workout to stretch your shoulders and rotator cuffs.
Ok, down to business. You start off by doing the “touch the floor” routine, where you step from side to side, touch the floor and rise up immediately, then repeat on the other side. Then you move into some kicks where you keep your hands on your hips, squat, then kick, then alternate and repeat. This gets your heart rate up quickly and gets you ready for some resistance training.
The resistance training in this routine works your shoulders, biceps, chest, back, and triceps. Shaun T will push YOU to do V-push-ups (where you’re on your tiptoes, hands pointed inward, and do a push-up). Then he’ll push you to do tricep push-ups, which is where you are in a “table” position, from Yoga, and pretty much do a backwards push-up.
The big thing to note about all this cardio/push-up combination is that you have to do it all FAST! Shaun T is an excellent motivator and he WILL push YOU to get in the best shape of your life!
Insanity: Plyometric Cardio Circuit Review
Plyometric Cardio Circuit
This review is the first in a series I plan to write, covering each of the Insanity workouts. Never fear, I plan to do the same at some point for the P90X workouts too.
We’ll start with the warmup. Wow! Just the warmup alone could be a complete exercise routine for most people! Shaun T starts you off with some jogging, running, jumping jacks, power jumps, and other moves to get your heart rate up.
You run through it three times, going faster each time! Then you do some light stretching. To be honest, for some of the workouts, I think Shaun T doesn’t have you stretch quite enough.
Please note that a HEART RATE MONITOR is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for ANY and ALL Insanity workouts!
This workout will have you burning calories like nobody’s business! Shaun T pushes you to new heights by having you run, jump, and dig deeper than you ever have in your life.
In Plyometric Cardio Circuit, you’ll reach a new level of fitness you never imagined by doing exercises like deep squat jumps, mountain climbers, and ski jumps. The mountain climbers are different than the ones in high school – with these, you’re standing up and alternating pulling your arms down while running, basically. In ski jumps, you mimic a downhill skiing motion while jumping from side to side.
The best part of all is that this program requires absolutely no equipment aside from a heart rate monitor!
YOU can be in better shape than people younger than you. Don’t believe it?

Insanity Product Review
My copy of Shaun T’s Insanity recently arrived. While I’m definitely looking forward to being in some very, very great shape, I’m also a little scared of the workouts. Folks, this stuff is intense!
Anyway, I wanted to do a quick article about the actual product itself.
When I start the program, I intend to write at least one article on each workout to let you know exactly what is involved in them and how I feel during them, so it only fits to begin with a product review.
I have to hand it to Beachbody, as they definitely hit a homerun with the packaging of Insanity. It’s much higher quality than the cardboard sleeve wallet case which comes with P90X. It looks like a big book, and it acts like one as well. There are two DVD’s per page, and each “page” of this “book” looks to be about a quarter of an inch thick. It’s SO much easier to insert and remove DVD’s because the pages are so thick and strong.
Check it out:
Built onto the rear inside cover of the Insanity book is a sleeve which contains the Fitness Guide and Elite Nutrition Guide. There is a place for everything! The Insanity book is a single solution for storing everything related to the workout program – it’s much easier and more convenient than a box! Outstanding work Beachbody!
In just 60 days I’m going to be in even better shape than P90X got me in. YOU can be there too! Shaun T will have YOU doing exercises you never imagined to get YOU in the best shape of your life in just 60 days!
