I've subbed out quite a few things by adding standing barbell overhead press (shoulder day instead of alternating dumbbell presses), bench press (after all pushups are done), and lat pulls, bent barbell rows and machine rows (in place of back flyes, locomotives and as an add on during legs & back day).

Just have to move fast between sets. It gives me the weights I need to lift with the speed/intensity of P90X. Best of both worlds. I still do most of the workouts as prescribed but some of those movements are pussy/worthless exercises, imo.

Cardio-wise, I will be refereeing 5 games this week, 5 games next week, 2 the following, and one the following after that. In each game, I average about 2 miles.

BR1986FB;1090884 wrote:You might want to do a "prep" week for this by going through the dvd's kind of "half assed" so you become familiar with the moves and know the dvd's. I did this my first round and it helped. Not because it got me in the cardiovascular condition that I needed to be in but it kept me from fumbling in between exercises so I wasn't rushed when the real 90 days began.

Anyone have any foot or back pain from all the jumping in Insanity? I do it on a concrete floor in the garage so i'm guessing that's the reason. Any suggestions? Should i get a cheap carpet or mat to put down?
