Round 3: Monster Mash-Up Schedule

I'm sure I'm going to keep tinkering with this, but here's my current plan for Round 3:



This monstrosity is a mash-up of workouts from P90X, Insanity, P90X+, Turbulence Training, RKC Kettlebell Training, and a bunch of One-on-One with Tony Horton DVDs.

I know: It's a little messy, and it requires a shitload of DVDs. Plus, this program takes 105 days instead of a nice, round 90. But I tried to make this concoction as balanced as possible, while prioritizing variety and periodization. I also wanted to make sure that no single day's exercise session lasts longer than a typical P90X workout. (Even the Turbulence Training / Kettlebell / Abs days should take less than an hour to complete.)

As with my Round 2 P90X/Insanity Hybrid, I'm not recommending that you try this with me. I'm certainly no fitness expert; I'm just a regular schmoe who's mixing everything together for the hell of it. And like many experiments, this could very well blow up in my face.

But until then, it'll be fun.

Round 2: P90X / Insanity Hybrid Schedule
