My P90X - One On One - Insanity hybrid

ExerciseP90XTony Horton's One-On-One

After completing Insanity about a month ago, I felt great and ready to go into a hybrid of that program and Tony Horton's P90X. However, when I scoured the internet for such a program, they all looked pretty much alike and rather uninspired.

Plus, I knew I wanted to include some of Tony's One-On-One routines in my hybrid.

So that's what I've been doing for the past 4 weeks, creating my own hybrid. As it happens, I ended up with no P90X routines, so really it's an Insanity / One-On-One hybrid, but it turned out nice.

It goes like this:

  • Day 1 - Steve's 30/15 (based on One-On-One 30/15)
  • Day 2 - Plyometric Cardio Circuit + Cardio Abs from Insanity
  • Day 3 - Steve's Shoulders & Legs (based on One-On-One Diamond Delts & Plyo Legs)
  • Day 4 - Pure Cardio + Cardio Abs from Insanity
  • Day 5 - Base & Back from One-On-One
  • Day 6 - Fountain of Youth Yoga from One-On-One
  • Day 7 - OFF
  • Day 8 - Pure Cardio + Cardio Abs from Insanity
  • Day 9 - Steve's 30/15 (based on One-On-One 30/15)
  • Day 10 - Plyometric Cardio Circuit from Insanity
  • Day 11 - Steve's Shoulders & Legs (based on One-On-One Diamond Delts & Plyo Legs)
  • Day 12 - Cardio Power & Resistance + Cardio Abs from Insanity
  • Day 13 - Patience/Hummingbird Yoga from One-On-One
  • Day 14 - OFF

Days 15-28: Repeat the above.

All in all, I am very happy with the program. I'm going to take a week off to recover, doing yoga and Core Cardio & Balance from Insanity, then I'll do another 4 weeks of the above.

If you want to try it out, you'll need some of the Insanity and One-On-One DVDs, and you can download my Excel worksheets (in PDF format) for the non-cardio / non-yoga days here: Worksheets For One-On-One-Insanity Hybrid (PDF).

Enjoy and let me know what you think.
