How to Combine P90X and Insanity

This is a super hard core workout for those that either A. want to see results faster or B. just cant get enough of this stuff. I have attached the schedule for the combination of P90X and Insanity but keep in mind you can always modify it. Here are steps to follow and some tips to keep in mind if you do this:

Step 1

Understand the elements of each workout. The Insanity program and the P90X program include plyometric training, strength training, cardiovascular training, core training and flexibility training. Know what the focus of each workout is. For example, the P90X Chest & Back workout is primarily an upper-body strength training session, while the Insanity Max Recovery DVD focuses on flexibility and stretching.

Step 2

Use the P90X program for most of your strength training sessions. Although the Insanity program includes some strength training, it is body weight only exercises. The Insanity program is designed to be a 60-day routine. For long-term fitness, you need to include resistance-training workouts in your exercise routine.

Step 3

Decide on your training goal. You have to know what you want to accomplish to know how to get there. Some common training goals include increasing cardiovascular endurance, increasing strength and losing weight.

Step 4

Design your weekly schedule. How you schedule your week will depend on what your training goal is. If you want to increase your cardiovascular endurance, include more aerobic sessions. If you want to increase your strength, include more strength-training workouts. A balanced program might include three cardio sessions and three strength sessions per week, alternated every other day.

Step 5

Select your workouts. The point of combining P90X and Insanity is to create more variety in your routine. Don't choose your favorite Insanity cardio DVD for every aerobic workout. Use all the workouts to build a complete routine with plenty of variety.

Tips:

• This is not for beginners. Make sure you have mastered both workouts before attempting to combine them.
• Make sure you have at least one full rest day each week.
