Day 5 of the P90X/Insanity Hybrid program was Legs & Back along with Cardio Abs. I absolutely love this workout but man am I sore in the rear after it, already. I used to hate lunges but for some odd reason I enjoy them in this workout as Tony makes them fun. I think I enjoy them because they are done in a different manner then when I did them for competitive training/volleyball. Some of my favorite moves in the particular workout are calves raises, dead-lift squats, and all of the back work that you do.
I still use the resistance bands for the pull-up work but only because my workout area doesn't allow for me to place a pull-up bar in the doorways. I am working on that because I know that I definitely want to get much stronger so that I can do more pull-ups and see more definition in my back and shoulder areas. Very happy about how this workout turned out.
Cardio Abs, from Insanity is my favorite ab/core workouts over P90X's ab ripper X. I am not a big fan of crunches so the alternatives exercises that Shaun T uses in his ab routine, Cardio Abs is something I look forward to as there are NO crunches! I can't wait to have abs of steel after the first 90 days are over! I have decided to alternate my ab work between cardio abs and Ab ripper X each week for variety.
